No matter how terrible you feel, sometimes the best move is to laugh it off. A single laughter session can drop cortisol by over 30%.

@samtripoli Our whole world is fake Sam

Holy shit

@sircalebhammer Which coincides with Tesla gap fills

Ngl, I’ve made a lot of money during these 2 Trump months… I hope this happens every 12 months lol

@forestmanjohn Never got email, when is it up for sale?

3 months ago, I quit my job to chase a dream: to build an affordable, convenient, plastic-free coffee maker. Grateful for everyone who has reserved ❤️ puresteelco.com

@nic_carter Also, as much as I hate to say it, there are very many service members who have life time disability when they shouldn’t. From what I understand there are people who will train/teach them how to get approved for such disability upon leaving the armed forces

it hasn't sunk in for most people. we already live in a post-scarcity society. UBI is already here. basic package: disability, medicaid, food stamps etc bonus package: literally getting paid for staying at home and hanging out with your relatives extra bonus: if you are willing to commit fraud, pretend your kids are autistic and get paid for that. get paid for watching your neighbor's kid. pretend you are taking care of your grandma. fake hospice clinic. fake rehab clinic. fake therapy clinic. giga bonus: during a time of crisis take advantage of PPP or CARES and open a fake business and get paid for existing people are shocked when they learn that defense is the FIFTH largest line item in the budget. ahead of defense: social security ($1.6T), interest on debt ($1.1T) medicare ($1T), medicaid + ACA ($1T), AND THEN defense ($0.9T) complain about defense all you like, but healthcare fraud is a way bigger factor. hundreds of billions per year. this is only going to get worse, because the fraud is a structural part of the system – payouts to client groups in exchange for votes (normally D). in the US, only 47% of the population actually works (fully 14% of the population is working age and does not work). retirees are 18% and children 22%. the system I described above subsidizes 50m non-working people absolute minimum, but really it's far more because people that are paid to stay home and take care of their relatives are considered "workers" of that 47% of "actual workers" maybe one third does real work, the rest are shuffling papers around or doing fake email jobs. so you have, rough math, 50 million actual workers supporting 300 million dependents. that's the nature of the economy today. it will only accelerate. eventually you will have 10 million using AI tools to do all the work and 340 million dependents. the reason no one roots out the fraud is because it's the system that keeps our extremely fragile polity intact. the fraud is the UBI. the purpose of the system is what it does. of course, it's a deeply unfair system, because you are allowed to commit fraud if you are a politically protected client group of the democrats. DOGE was killed faster than any government program ever, because it attempted to root out the fraud. if you are honest and unwilling to commit fraud, you are a huge loser in this system. your neighbor will have their mortgage subsidized by some government program. they will get favorable SBA loans due to DEI. they will open a fake hospice or autism clinic. they will get paid for taking care of their neighbor's kid and vice versa. the primary skill in the labor market is learning how to extract money from state and federal government programs, not gaining skills or making yourself employable. if you are just trying to work an ordinary wagie job you are a huge sucker. you are paying 40-50% effective all in taxes to everyone else who is a net taker. the sad part is because AI is such a substantial productivity boost, it will actually keep this system going for a while longer, and maybe in perpetuity. AI boosts the 15% of the population that is actually productive so much that the remaining 85% can coast by. no one in charge will change this because they can't think of anything else. the political costs of a real UBI program are too great and we don't have the money for it anyway. so we will keep this covert fraud-based UBI program running indefinitely. unfortunately, if you are an honest wagie, you lose.

@Dearme2_ Believe it or not: morning sunrise, midday UV and sunset light in your eyes. No sunglasses

Without drugs... what is the greatest weapon against anxiety and depression?

The funny thing to me is they keep emphasizing “8 million people!” on my local news this morning but it’s like… that’s 2.3% of the population. So the reality is not many people at all protested yet the tv says largest in history lol and to top it all off the interviews of the protesters was hilarious

So what, exactly, are you retards protesting then

@helios_brah And most people have a bathtub and a water heater, not many people have a sauna.

@helios_brah Studies show hot baths (or just soaking in hot water, around 104-109 Fahrenheit) have very similar effects to saunas. Water has better heat transfer compared to air.

If you are a reptilian

@ScottPresler They are stopping us Scott

This moment in history calls for bold, courageous leadership — not theater, not strongly-worded letters, not hiding behind 60 vote thresholds. We elected a Republican majority; if you aren’t willing to do everything in your power to advance conservatism, then what are you doing?

@rabbitholebot Yes because the research is to cause cancer not cure it. Everything is always the opposite

Does anyone else find it odd that $200 billion is spent on cancer research every single year and the only thing to show for it is a 75% increase in cancer deaths since the 1990s?

@unusual_whales Is he claiming insiders don’t profit off of death and war outside of prediction markets? 🧐

BREAKING: Adam Schiff has introduced a bill to ban bets on war and death in prediction markets. "Betting on war and death creates an environment in which insiders can profit off of nonpublic information, our national security is jeopardized, and violence is encouraged," he said.

Btw this is the CEO of United I’m not kidding

@ScottPresler @SenateGOP They are not interested in saving America Scott

@SenateGOP Wish you would put this same effort into securing our elections. Pass the SAVE America Act.

90 senators voted to advance the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. Republicans are making homes more affordable without spending a dime.

@AutismCapital Because the medical industrial complex is a scam

How does it make sense to ban AI from answering any question that’s actually useful that people would actually want to use it for? The whole point of AI is the democratize information and power into the hands of the every man. This just forces people to use imperfect gatekeepers.

@Polymarket Burn it all down

JUST IN: US House votes 357-65 to block release of congressional sexual misconduct reports.

The newest version of the X App no longer has the option to switch to Dark Mode If you update or delete the app and reinstall you will be stuck on Light Mode. Be warned

@litteralyme0 And nothing new after noon!

Maturing is realizing the best work shift is 6AM to 2PM

@askaya 🎯

Our society is so dumbed down and indoctrinated that anyone who is able to think critically is perceived as a conspiracy theorist.
