  • More like "Because I primarily speak Spanish and little English and essentially all Spanish media is nothing but far right propaganda and pro-capitalist messaging and has been for several decades."

  • No.

  • Your first theory is called quantum immortality.

  • The separation between human beings and screaming monkeys throwing poop at each other is a lot closer than most people are comfortable to admit, to the point where there is significant overlap.

  • STOP POSTING TWEETS WITHOUT DATE STAMPS!

  • For being gay? No absolutely not. Their culture does not give a shit about gender or sexuality.

    For being sensitive and afraid of public speaking? Pitiful coward! He brings dishonor to his house!

  • That's not how it works...

  • It was a month ago today. In normal times, that would indeed be a small range.

    We are not living in normal times.

    A month might as well be a year with how much awful shit is happening so frequently. Supposedly, some of the DHS Gestapo has been pulled out of Michigan. Has it made things better? Worse? No noticable change at all? Did they actually pull out, or are they just lying and saying they did? Who can say for sure? Certainly not anyone reading this tweet because IT LACKS A FUCKING TIMESTAMP!

  • I'm sorry, are you under the impression that animal husbandry doesn't occur in non-capitalist societies?

  • Expanding on the Latinos for Trump thing, lots of white liberals seem to be shocked at the levels of rightwing support from the Latino population. They speculate (wrongly) that it's due to Cubans in Florida; and while that group does support the right, it's not because they remember their time in Cuba and hold a grudge against communism.

    No, the issue is one that has been around a long time now and has been completely ignored because most people don't speak Spanish. Almost all mainstream Spanish media, from shows, to news, to social media has been far, far, FAR right for decades now. Like, it makes Fox News look like MSNBC.

    And the language barrier is a 2 part issue. Not only are English speaking liberals completely unaware of how bad the propaganda is, but people that are only fluent in Spanish don't hear any alternatives. All they get is the propaganda, there are no other sources. You tell them about the horrible stuff Trump or the GOP has done and they look at you with a blank face. They don't hear about it, because it's never reported for them. And people on Spanish social media tend not to talk about it for the same reason.

    The rot is deep. Very deep. Telemundo and Univision have completely fucked the Latino populace by hiding reality from them and pushing pro-billionaire messaging.

  • FYI, we haven't seen the kickbacks from the Melania movie yet. The savings from the BB Bill were already baked in before the movie got made.

  • Don't say it, don't say it, it's not the time, you don't have to say-

    Actually, he didn't get hung, he got hanged. He's not a tapestry.

  • FYI, when you click the link on mobile, it immediately starts downloading a video file. I can not stress enough how much I do not want that to happen.

  • For people who think they're winning by fucking with scammers, unless you are tying up hours of their time, you are doing the opposite by engaging with them. And even if you tie up hours, they aren't really losing.

    Obviously, falling for the scam is their ideal outcome, but ANY engagement beyond silence, a generic VM, or a disconnected/fax line marks your number as 'active' which can then be sold to other scammers.

    So they still get a profit, and your number winds up on more scamming lists.

    We are also getting close to the point where it won't even be an actual human you're talking to, it'll just be some AI, making engagement even more useless.

    If you get a call from an unknown number and you don't have call screening, answer and SAY NOTHING! Not hello, not "may I ask whose calling", mute your phone so they don't even get background noise. The only numbers they can't get anything out of are the ones that are brick walls.

  • Are you trying to claim that nobody likes Facebook? That nobody like opioids? You can say that they're harmful, but that's not the argument OP was making. His point still stands.

  • As much as I would love if that narrative was true, it is typically the upper-middle to super-upper class that goes to events at the Kennedy Center. While their audience may lean slightly more left than your local country club members, they are still wealthy. I promise they are not having trouble filling seats as the wealthy do not give nearly as much of a shit about Trump as the rest of us.

  • So if it's only because of intense, prolonged, daily concentration, then wouldn't things like video games, watching TV, or even just a normal day of work at a white collar job count? Does taking a long drive count? How about studying for a test?

  • I'm too much of a Utilitarian to be able to overlook his philanthropy. His foundation has practically eliminated guinea worm. That alone has saved millions of lives.

    But I'm not a god. Who am I to say whether all his philanthropy outshines his personal depravity? Maybe it doesn't, but if more billionaires used their money in a similar way, I think everything wouldn't be quite as shitty as they are.

  • Ask Science @lemmy.world

    Why isn't steam from power plants harnessed, condensed, and used to power gravity fed water turbines?

    Vampires are evil because they're incapable of self-reflection.
