@InCronopios *As you write this post from your friends beach house*

Nadie debería tener 8 casas, ni 5 ni 2. No existe el derecho a tener 5 casas. Existe el derecho a tener 1. Patria será el dia que a quienes tienen mas de una casa se los exprima a impuestos y se las expropie para beneficio de quien no tenga una.

@collin_ruth89 Hybrids are not affordable for everyone. Just like EVs are not. A $4,000 tax credit doesnt offset the cost of a 75k electric car.

I don’t understand why every vehicle isn’t a hybrid. Why not use regenerative braking to charge a battery in every car? Huge increase in gas mileage. Why do they still make non-hybrids?

@tristar_au If Israel is the reason your daughter doesnt want to go to Mcdonalds, you taught her to value trivial things in life. You should be very proud. My child does not ask for mcdicks because she knows it is junk food and doesnt really taste that good.

My 8 year old told me today "Did you know McDonalds supports Israel?" I said "Yes. How did you find that out?" She said one of her friends at school told her. She said "I don't want to go to McDonalds anymore" Proud of her

@IanCopeland5 👋 hi. Not an antivaxxer, but I would not take an Ebola vaccine, because statistically, I am much more likely to have a vaccine reaction than I am to die from Ebola. If I lived in Congo, i would definitely consider a vaccine if available. Context is important my friend

Ebola is an extremely deadly virus. I bet the antivaxers would take an Ebola vaccine. There would be no debates or arguments if COVID made you bleed out of your eyes until you died...

@RevRayCistman Calling George Floyd a hero is lunacy. Nobody is saying those police officers embody heroism, but Floyd was a shit human being who unfortunately passed away at the hands of equally shitty human beings. Not a hero. Shameful post on memorial day.

George Floyd deserves to be buried in Arlington Cemetery with the rest of America’s fallen heroes.

@cptdankkk Because the new CEO doesnt have a why. Purely motivated by making money. Every CEO wants money, but most companies fail. The ones that survive, have vision

Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's lack of innovation since the iPhone will lead to its decline "They haven't really invented anything great in a while. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're kind of sitting on it 20 years later" "Year over year, I'm not even sure they're selling more iPhones at this point. Part of it is that each generation doesn't actually get that much better, so people are taking longer to upgrade" "They built stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone" "I'm pretty optimistic that because they've been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things... eventually they'll get beat by someone"

@mdvirgilio few reasons why this will never change: 1. We live cushioned lives. We dont need a large nuclear support system 2. Religion has been put into the corner of society 3. Life is too expensive 4. There is zero life benefit to 3+ kids. We dont rely on their labor anymore

It bums me out how many families have only two kids. It’s a pandemic! Do they really only believe they can only handle two? What’s up with that? I know the answer; it's a rhetorical question. I think it’s bordering on sin for a couple to limit themselves to having two children, for whatever reason. At best it’s a cliché. We’ve attended a goodly number of churches over the decades, and since I’ve become a full-on natalist it distresses me how many families have two children. I’m not saying all Christian families have to go old school and have ten kids like our ancestors, but as I told a young friend of mine recently and my daughter as well, you will never, ever regret having more children. You get to bring more image bearers of God into the world, and into eternity, to love and nurture and raise. So, young Christian couples, be fruitful and multiply! It’s not a suggestion.

@PGAChampionship This is crazy. Should be fairly playable today tho. Damp and cool conditions for most of the day.

@thematrixb0t Except the people calling for a revolution would have no means to impose their demands. They would be wiped out of the way like a snotty nose

Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito says it's time for a "revolution," says some people would die, but "the rest of us" would survive. "They can't take us all down. If the whole world showed up... in Washington, they'll kill a 500, 50 million or however..." "But the rest of us would survive... This is the time for a revolution."

@EvieParkour I dont get it. Public education sucks.

Homeschooling needs to be made illegal - full stop. The only exception to such a law would be if you can PROVE your child is mentally or physically incapable of attending public school. In which case at home visits from a public educator would be permitted.

@DrNeilStone Vaxed died too

I literally saw dozens of unvaccinated people die with my own eyes at the height of the pandemic but hey

@TimHannan The vaccine started during maga admin. The language changed out of office

Can anyone tell me why I’m still alive 6 years after MAGA told me the COVID vaccine would kill me?

@adammanross If you think kamala and hilary are centrists you are blind. Centrists dont run as reps or dems

Al Gore lost in 2000 as a centrist. John Kerry lost in 2004 as a centrist. Hillary lost in 2016 as a centrist. Kamala lost 2024 as a centrist. If we’re going to win the 2026 midterms, we must abandon centrism all together. If the Democratic Party is to survive we must go left

@SydneyLWatson If you think this is the hospitals fault?, you are wrong. We live in an insurance dictated heslthcare system

Seen a lot of conversation about how predatory the American medical system is. So I will weigh in. I ended up going to the ER about 2 weeks ago for crippling pain. Turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was there for MAYBE 4 hours. My bill? $13,500 dollars. Because I'm uninsured (by choice, that shit is a SCAM), the hospital dropped my bill down to $8,100 and some change as an "uninsured" discount. For starters, $13,500 for a 4 hour hospital visit is insane as it is. But the fact the hospital can wipe $5,000 off the bill "just because" should show you how utterly fucked this system is. And to be clear - $8,000 is still an absolutely insane sum of money when all these people did was scan my stomach and give me some pain killers. On my itemized bill, my CT scan was 7k. The iodine they used was $900. Just being in the ER room alone was $2,500. We phoned the hospital to haggle. They dropped the price by $20. Normal people can't survive this shit. I do okay and $8,000 is still an INSANE chunk of money out of my savings. Anyone who argues this isn't a disgusting, predatory system is crazy. And it is even crazier that Americans accept this. And for those of you who argue this is the free market, I need you to be quiet. There can never be a true free market here when government and insurance have their creepy little fingers in this pie. People shouldn't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills. This has to change.

@UziCryptoo Renting is fine for some people but it depends what you want. If you want a 3 bedroom single family home, your rent will far exceed the cost of a mortgage with property taxes. The cost of maintenance may transiently even the field, but long term value favors ownership

Before buying a home all I had to worry about was making a $1,500 monthly rent payment. Now that I own a home my monthly mortgage payment is almost triple what my rent payment was. I also have to take care of the lawn, fix things when they’re broken and a bunch of other maintenance/upkeep that comes with owning a home. Anyone that thinks renting is a waste of money is out of touch with the reality of owning a home.

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry. The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine. The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true. The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either. The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought. The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to. The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus. He is confident. He has always been confident. The confidence has never been the problem. The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

@CoachLisle Let the kids play. But this kid is a dbag. And his coaches are shit humans.

What are your thoughts on this? “Let the kids play” or “we’ve lost our minds”?

@ABmrJutt And statistics have shown a trend that during periods of time that abortion was illegal, 14-15 years after is a huge spike in crime. The only thing worse than a dead fetus is an unwanted 14 year old.

Hot fucking take: Forcing birth just to dump a baby into adoption is way more unethical than having an abortion.

@esjesjesj Have we done this with other epidemics? @grok what other diseases are named after where they originated?

How fucking racist and insane do you have to be to call Covid “the wuhan virus”
