@FourSkinners @greenink68 @AriZonanHODL He mentioned earlier that he barely knew his parents. That's probably why. Not meaning it as a put-down, it's just unfortunate. When someone's parents don't show care to them, fair chance that person doesn't show it to others.

@greenink68 @dablack @AriZonanHODL So what you’re saying is if I trick old people into signing all their wealth away, that’s fine. If I hack your computer and release your internet history, fine. Steal your bank accounts and drain them, totally fine. You’re a fucking sociopath.

My dad: yeah I’m gonna sell my F150, it’s a good truck but I want a different color. Me: you mentioned that the transmission was going out? Were you gonna get that fixed before you sell it? Dad: *visibly frustrated and annoyed now* Did I tell you about that? Boomers

@LViennez39257 @Tsar_Martyr Give it time, you might go full circle back to Christianity, just in a completely different way, without the dogma you were brought up with.

@Tsar_Martyr You do realize the majority of atheists were raised with religion and realized down the line that the cult they were being raised in made no sense? I was raised Christian my entire life, realized at about 17 that it didn’t make any sense, officially became atheist at 20

Atheists are extremely close minded

@saltylemonjuice @greenink68 @AriZonanHODL Buying a house at 23 in this economy is pretty impressive actually

@greenink68 @dablack @AriZonanHODL I'm doing just fine with my life but it sounds like you're mad af 🤷‍♂️. Smart enough and hard working enough to buy a house at 23 while you sit on twitter and bitch about how the young people these days can't do anything lmao

@blkgunsmattr I would tell them they are correct. Good people with guns save lives.

How do you respond when someone says, “Guns don’t save lives”?

@TheK_Nox I hope that's not true but I'm afraid it probably is.

Would I be crazy saying the average man can’t bench press 135 pounds?

@christianfiveoh Silent prayer anywhere and anytime

I hear a lot of Christians say that they don’t go to church. Why not? What do you do to replace worshiping at church? I’m genuinely curious.

@TmiErektor @greenink68 @AriZonanHODL According to @greenink68 the answer is yes. For anyone else that isn't a sociopath, the answer is absolutely no.

@greenink68 @dablack @AriZonanHODL So if anyone scams you on any matter at all, it's your fault because you weren't proficient with the subject?

@GarthVader1313 @greenink68 @AriZonanHODL I'm about to open a call center and tell them they won the sweepstakes. Just need social security number and bank info and we'll deposit the winnings. Should see the money in the account within three business days. Congratulations!

@greenink68 @dablack @AriZonanHODL Everyone remember this post next time boomers are getting ransomware'd or honeypot scammed. Fuck em, they shouldnt be so dumb.

@greenink68 @AriZonanHODL Yeah that's right, if a person isn't competent then they deserve to get taken advantage of. Nothing better than scamming people in need that don't have the same know-how as me.

@AriZonanHODL It only works because millennials and zoomers are completely incapable of detecting a faulty transmission on a test drive. You sorry sorts expect a perfect car dropped off to you in between your doordash orders

The only reason the messages seem consistent is because Islam teaches the New Testament got corrupted. The Quran has a totally different Jesus. The real Jesus taught radical love and forgiveness. Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. His message was about heart-change and trusting him as the way to the Father, not law, deeds, or fighting. If you have to assume the New Testament is corrupted to make them line up, then they're not the same message. That's why they look inconsistent to me.

@dablack @charlotta_hagy @OunkaOnX Muhammad's message and Jesus's message have been consistent with eachother. No one is stopping you from educating yourself and reading the Quran with an unbiased lens.

Cenk Uygur: "When Candace said 'I've been a victim of Israeli propaganda my whole life - they got me to hate Muslims, I thought: wait a minute. Israeli propaganda brainwashed me into hating Muslims. The media called Palestinians terrorists while Israel took their land in '48, '67, and Gaza. All lying in unison to get us to support Israel - and to hate Muslims so it's easier to attack them"

@theoutsider090 @charlotta_hagy @OunkaOnX On what, the life of Muhammed?

@dablack @charlotta_hagy @OunkaOnX Educate yourself man

@theoutsider090 @charlotta_hagy @OunkaOnX False prophet because of his obviously inferior teachings and way he lived his life. And because he thought it was a demon that was communicating with him.

@dablack @charlotta_hagy @OunkaOnX So you believe in all prophets and their stories, prophets communicating with animals, building an arch and gathering all animals etc but you are convinced he was a false prophet...doesn't make sense to me mate

One of these three ways: 1. Distribute all of the FICA taxes equally to all US Citizens regardless of employment. (This would make sure kids and unemployed got covered at same amount) 2. Distribute half of FICA taxes to all and the other half based on amount contributed. (Kids and unemployed would get half, encouraging employment. Kids healthcare typically costs less than adults.) 3. Have the State Medicaid programs cover them.

@dablack @mcuban @dorchen2025 And for those who can't work?

Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?

Islamic religion sucks too because it follows Muhammed instead of Christ. They claim to revere Christ, but they hold the demon-derived teachings of their false prophet ahead of him. Some Jews and (Zionist Christians) demonize them on an extreme level though, ready to exterminate all Muslims like they aren't even people. I agree that they should convert to Christianity if they are coming to the USA. That is what assimilating here really means. Some atheist or agnostic person is going to disagree, but they are likely deriving their morality from the Christian culture they are lucky that the grew up in.

@OunkaOnX What I don’t get- if Islam is so great and Muslims are so good, why are they here? They don’t intend to assimilate, they want to take over so I think it’d be best if they went back to Iran

@KlondikeBob199 @mcuban @dorchen2025 any* healthcare related thing

Basic healthcare is paid for out of the Health Savings Account (HSA) that gets money deposited in it every month from FICA taxes that are paid in. People use that money for anything healthcare-related thing they need and have an incentive to shop around because they keep what they don't spend. Thousands of dollars per person per year going into each account. Could do it either way on the insurance part of it, families could buy a plan that covers all of them, or just individually. It would only be needed for major catastrophic instances since their Health Savings Account will have tens of thousands and eventually hundreds of thousands of dollars in it. Everyone could see the doctors of their choice without networks, paying them cash from their HSA. And have plenty for dental, vision, and hearing.

@doogadoo11 I think they're a cute couple

I really didn’t think I could like Travis Kelce any less. I was wrong. x.com/NBA/status/205…

Just distribute FICA tax revenue to people's HSAs every month and let them contribute addtionally with no cap. Let them keep and invest what they don't spend on healthcare for their retirement. Now most people don't need much for insurance, just a catastrophic plan with a $25k, $50k, or $100k deductible once their HSA grows enough. Let States handle their own medicaid programs if they want to take extra care of those with constant lifelong conditions or if a person's HSA money runs out. Similar to Singapore model only better.

@dorchen2025 Then what happens to the people who aren't able to get insurance ? Who can't afford care at all ?

When there is a direct doctor-patient relationship and not 3rd party payors, free market healthcare will be restored. Consumers will shop based on quality and price. Regulations and barriers to entry will no longer push up prices on a massive scale. Administrative bloat will vanish. The cost of Healthcare will be a fraction of what it is now because true market competition will bring it down. Insurance will be indemnity only. No network HMO nonsense.

@DukeInvests @coachvint Who wants experiences when you can have money? Then you can spend that money on other experiences later. But who would want to do that when you can just accumulate more money? Dying with lots of money is the ultimate experience.

@coachvint We did many years of travel ball for my son and daughter. They’re some of our family’s favorite memories and bonding experiences. Scholarships are just icing on the cake.

I talked a dad who told me he spent $10k a year on travel baseball between tourneys, travel, and gear for his son. He got a partial scholarship to D-2 school. If he had put the $10k in a mutual fund each year, he would have had about $190,000. The scholarship was $5k a year.
