Intelligence is knowing that Dr Frankenstein was the guy who created the creature. Wisdom is knowing that Dr Frankenstein was indeed the monster.

At least 16 files have disappeared from the DOJ webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein

only after public pressure got his sentencing to be reviewed and he proved to be a liability, yes.

Before that happened, though, he was quietly given a plea deal that basically saw him leaving Club Fed for work while basically just sleeping there. for a child predator as vile as he was... well. it was far from uncomfortable. he plead out to a relatively minor crime in exchange for immunity form prosecution for federal crimes, as well.

once it entered widestream public consciousness, that definitely changed and people like, uh, trump, needed him dead.

Didn't have to be, though, now did it?

Just the ones in the right place at the right time. You don't need to have an entire organization on board to control and minimize the risks. That is why, for example, Epstein targeted as many politicians as he has. He wasn't catering to their every whim because it was profitable, it was protection.

Not just politicians, either. Leaders in agencies, the people in the right places at the right time. So that when it finally came to it, he got that sweetheart deal where he basically just used Club Fed as a hotel. And you'll notice that Maxwell is getting the same treatment?

Shitty stores that penalise you for not having their store card

Historically, the whole point to the loyalty card coupons was because then they could track your purchases and sell that data on you.

It used to be incredibly valuable, and it techncially still is. But your big box retail stores are going to insane lengths, including tracking you from the moment you pull into their parking lot (including knowing what kind of car you drive,) and how many times you circle, lets say, the lego aisle, or the cookies. They know how long you spend looking at stuff and are selling all of that. (as well as using for marketing to sell you more shit you don't need.)

How long do you think the epstein shit has been going on? it's taken decades to get this far.

This corruption has most certainly gone on for as long as I've been alive.

What are some of your stupidly easy sauces? (Emphasis on the "stupidly easy".)

You can make a fruit syrup that's to die for on ice cream. It works with most fruits, but berries are great. Blackberries, raspberies, blueberries. Straw berries. Some mix of all of them. Get a pot, sort out the bad berries, cover in water and simmer until it's mush. run it through a strainer or sieve or somethingt to clean out the worst of the mush/seads and add sugar, lemon and maybe some cinnamon to taste. while you still have mostly-liquid juice, take some out to make a corn starch slurry. mabye a tablespoon of juice and a half to a quarter for the corn starch. (this helps it become glossy.) Sugar to texture/taste, and reduce to the desired thickness.

(Yes, it'll eventually become jam.)

Also goes great on waffles, pancakes or anything like that... cheesecake, brownies. I can think of a lot of things.

What easy things can I make with almond meal?

跳过

FuglyDuck @lemmy.world 2天前

You can dredge salmon or chicken in it for a nutty crust and then grill or pan fry it. Especially if it's a coarse meal.

I do want to encourage you to try baking this, though: It's a fairly simple recipe for a fudge crustada with a raspberry sauce. Yes, it's pilsbury. if you can turn your oven on, you can make this (especially if you buy the crust like they want you to.) (King arthur flour tends to be better for scratch recipes, their pie crusts are near foolproof if you want to try your own pie crust.)

Use a dark-ish chocolate with the raspberry and it's too die for.

Given that Jesus wasn't the messiah.... they're two peas in a pod.

if you're curious as to what I mean by Jesus not being a messiah.

Depending on how much of the gospels you assume are true... if Jesus is son of god by marry... then he can't be the messiah at all and Joseph's lineage is meaningless. The entire reason they gave it is that the Messiah was supposed to be of David's direct line.

If you go with Mathew's lineage, he can't be the messiah because Jeconiah (son of Jacob), gone done fucked up and got cursed. (The curse being that none of his descendents would ever be king.) But even if you accept all of that, Jesus was never anointed the king of Israel and never actually ruled anywhere.

Of course Christians will then retcon all of the messianic prophecies to be "oh they meant a 'spiritual' king!" cuz, yeah. that's totally what the messianic prophecies meant. (they meant that there would be a king who was also a high priest, of the line of david, who would defeat all of Israel's enemies, and conquer the world and then we would <shifts into Paplatine's Voice> have everlasting peace.)

He says he is and you really have no way to prove it one way or the other.

Christians like to say stuff about works and then conviently ignore that Jesus had more to say about paying taxes than slavery and criticized the Pharisees for not stoning mouthy kids.

Fact is, we gloss over most of Jesus’s actual teachings because they’re problematic to most modern people. He taught the Torah, which included all sorts of atrocious laws.

You're not wrong, really. I guess my point is that Trump thinks he's the smartest person in the room.

also just a word of caution... a steady stream of propaganda (even blatant propaganda) will have everyone starting to believe it... eventually. just the way the human brain is wired. You hear something portrayed as fact often enough for long enough, it starts to sink in. especially if you don't have something balancing it out. They don't seek the truth out because it's hard to actually find it (Seriously. My grandma lives in missouri. Fox news is the progressive news service. She still believes minneapolis is a war zone, ever since the floyd riots. Even though I've taken her around to the memorial and showed her how that's not true. She agreed for about a year or so. but it sunk back in.)

Newsom criticised for praising Ronald Reagan, who 'facilitated mass AIDS death'

Which policies has he enacted in CA which mirror or support trickle down? All I ever hear is how he’s not progressive enough, but when I look at his record I see a LOT of progressive action

Because locking up homeless people is a) totally effective policy making and b) totally progressive.

more directly, to the economy, his buddy-buddy relationship with the techbros is... obvious.

25 million to help fund a microchip design facility,
85 million on generative ai
downsizing a deal with google to protect local-to-ca newsrooms

while when faced with a ballooning deficit, instead cut healthcare, education, and enviromental programs.

Further, He dropped the ball on his promises and only signed a small handful of progressive goals. for example, allowing striking union members to collect unemployment benefits. The most common excuse was "oh we can't necessarily afford that, and employers can't either."

Remember: Tweets are not policy... and all this fun shit trolling trump probably isn't even him tweeting it. (most likely, he's only scarcely aware of it at all.)

It’s pretty funny watching the left split and splinter this far out, because of all the purity testing. No one will ever be progressive enough, pure enough. And if somehow they were perfect enough to appease the left wing, there’d be 0 chance of getting red votes.
The next Dem who gets elected will do so using some centrist attitudes including towards social issues which we’re losing on badly. Might be time to get wise to that.

The last november election day, every democratic candidate that won, won on progressive platforms. Specifically, platforms that Newsom has a shitty record on. Your argument cuts both ways.

Also, how did all those red votes Harris got work out for her? She's an awesome president- Oh. wait. that's right SHE FUCKING LOST.

Do you see how that argument is holding us back? Centrists do not win elections. Alienating your actual base loses elections.

"the war on drugs" was mostly rhetoric. Like "The war on cancer" or "The war on childhood hunger" or whatever social ill they're on about. The idea against 'fighting' a social ill has always been part of the rhetoric, to express a desire to do something about that social ill. Sometimes, the efforts are well meaning (like Biden's cancer research stuff being 'a war on cancer',) and sometimes they're not (Like the GOP's war on woke)

Or, perceived social ill.

Trump, though is a moron and expects his base to be even dumber than he is. So when he declares a "drugs" are an "invasion" and "terrorist attack" or whatever batshit crazy lunacy he's peddling... he actually thinks people will just go with it. And the sad part here is, even if his base recognizes that he's confusing rhetoric for reality... they'll still go with it.
