Hi I'm Tim.

I'm AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • Because you have to produce as much as possible if you are to compete with the corporate farms. This means for example maybe using the scary dangerous pesticide allowing the farm to get the greatest yield, they'd rather not, but the alternative is their farm goes under.

    If things were regulated (and enforced), then corporate farms are disincentivised and farmers would produce safer food for consumption.

  • There’s No Hope for a Party That Hates Its Own Base

    Jump

  • Not the wrong game, there are just too many people that bounce between parties, or that sit out/vote 3rd party if their unicorn candidate isn't on the top of the ticket. If you could get everyone that doesn't want fascism to vote Dem at the top of the ticket every 4 yrs, and get them to also vote for and encourage more progressive candidates to run at all the lower levels we could see a change. And get enough progressive candidates running as Dems at all the lower levels, maybe we even see a decent Presidential candidate.

    It's easier for Republicans to rally around taking things away from people, it's much harder to run a functional country, with everyone having equal rights, and income equality, and everything else that would better the lives of Americans.

  • I think that has to do a bunch with that "big tent" as you called it. Just look at this last election, instead of going with Harris a large amount of people got pissy about her being to center, to right, to pro-Israel, to Biden, etc. at nauseum and voted against her or just sat out.

    I think if we want Dems to start to shift we need to support candidates that lean that way, and keep Republicans out of offices where they can instantly roll back all progress. It's going to take playing the long game and leaving some people that want to be R-lite behind (but still represented because they are still ppl). Republicans didn't build this government destroying force overnight, they have been chipping away for decades.

  • So they're bringing them back to let them go again in September. I guess that's a nice cushion for people to go elsewhere, but still stupid way to go about cost reduction.

  • Nobody hates and think as little of their base as Trump does. It's why he never misses a chance to sell them grifts and tells them the craziest lies. He sees them as an ends to a means.

    The Dems do have a bunch that could care less, but I don't think it's the overwhelming majority like the GOP. And it's also harder to get a party in lockstep when values vary widely, instead of just "Dear Leader tell us what you need of me".

  • Philadelphia schools will allow trans athletes to compete, rejecting Trump executive order

    Jump

  • The amazing part is when you stop and actually look at the numbers it is maybe a kid or 2 per district, when the GOP would make you believe these kids are replacing whole teams. It's such a non-issue (in the sense that the amount of trans kids in sports is a fraction of a percent) that the GOP has vilified so they can use it as a wedge issue in there ultimate goal of defunding public education and forcing kids all into a for profit private school system the Supreme Court can rule is outside of gov control. They can then begin indoctrination of all their crazy shit without issue while the people at the top make bank.

  • Dow tumbles more than 600 points, S&P 500 posts biggest loss since December as Trump says tariffs will proceed

    Jump

  • This time around he promised nothing outside of tariffs, and outsourced everything to Elon. And Elon is 100% there to dismantle, they don't plan to fix or add/contribute anything.

    It's amazing the destruction they have caused already and Donnie hasn't had to do anything but write his name in sharpie over and over.

  • Tim Walz says he may run for president in 2028 despite failure of Harris campaign

    Jump

  • The one thing we have going for us is that Don's dementia and age are going to increasingly make it difficult for him to hold his party together. And there is the chance one of those things will leave the GOP trying to field a new traitor to try and get the cult to consolidate around.

  • Treasury ends enforcement of business ownership database meant to stop shell company formation

    Jump

  • Trump runs all his stuff through shells to try and obfuscate who is behind them and funding them. He uses them for things like money laundering, tax fraud, and other illegal business practices.

    A quick example is Cohen setting up a shell company for Trump to funnel his Stormy $ through to hide Trump's identity as he was committing election finance fraud, and ultimately election interference.

  • The immunity rate if fully vaccinated is 97%, but that still means 3% of people that did the right thing could die because of shithead conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. Heard immunity only works if everyone that can does the right thing. We learned with COVID that many people would rather turn to conspiracy theories then science if it means they get a feeling of belonging to a group, even if that group is a cult.

  • Donald Trump named in Jeffrey Epstein flight logs released by his own attorney general

    Jump

  • Except the means of his death is the conspiracy, this notion that he was murdered. This conspiracy helps shift the blame from Barr's [Trump's] DOJ to a "boogyman".

    The guy had been found previously trying to hang himself with a bed sheet and was treated and put on suicide watch (someone took him off). He was then put in a cell closest to the guard station and was supposed to have a cellmate as a way to deter further attempts. The facility he was housed in was also understaffed and not really suitable for such a high profile prisoner. His cellmate was then released and was not replaced despite knowledge that he was a risk, and part of a VERY high profile case claiming to have compromising information on many high profile people. The guards on duty that night were also had been forced to work mandatory overtime (again part of the understaffing).

  • Trump wants whatever Putin tells him. And right now Putin says no deal, and that he'll sell minerals to the US from Russian occupied Ukraine. Handing Ukraine over to Russia was always Trump's plan, and if he could extort precious resources from Ukraine before then even better.

  • Donald Trump named in Jeffrey Epstein flight logs released by his own attorney general

    Jump

  • They didn't have to kill him, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy. Barr's DOJ allowed a man in a VERY high profile case that should have been on increased watch commit suicide on the eve of his bombshell testimony and going away forever. They allowed him to take his own out.

  • US attorney general presses FBI to release all files on Epstein

  • I'd be absolutely surprised if Barr didn't do this after they gave Epstein a way out of prison and testifying.
