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.

  • But Trump is still 100% about himself, so the second Musk is unable to do what Trump wants from him he'll turn on him too. And Pence got his religious following (and the beginning of his cult - help put him between God and his base), and Guialani was in charge of lies/propaganda (to feed the cult). They both served their purpose for Trump until he no longer needed them.

  • The man is dropping recorded in real time reports of how he wants to overthrow democracy, why would anyone waste time trying to locate and edit Trump campaign staff previous statements. And messing with the Internet Archive would be a waste of resources for Putin, or any foreign state, as things are batshit crazy everyday in the present, why mess with obscure quotes from people nobody knows and have no impact on anything?

  • Biden doesn't do anything to piss Republicans off, he bends over constantly to make everything bipartisan. And picking Garland was probably because he knew that he would play it "safe" and do nothing rather than have anyone be able to begin to say he was doing something political. Garland has been in such contrast to Barr who just shit all over the law like he had done in the past (and I wouldn't doubt got a secret pardon before the end just in case he ever needs to play that card).

  • Like JD Vance, Trump loves people that need to humiliate themselves doing a 180 in service to him and shamelessly covering for him in public.

  • Are suggesting Trump's campaign has anyone competent enough to hack the Internet Archive in an attempt to remove material from years ago? Or are you saying that maybe someone hacked the Internet Archive to plant creditable sounding comments about Trump's campaign staff?

    Maybe I'm way off though, and you're not trying to create a new conspiracy theory and just forgot to finish your sentence.

  • US public schools burned up nearly $3.2bn fending off rightwing culture attacks – report

  • Yep, this is all about exhausting public resources and damaging the image of public education so that less people question the push towards "private" education making a profit for the grifters, and will allow them to rewrite the rules.

  • FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect

    Jump

  • I feel like although possible now, that this may need to change going forward since I'm not sure how Amazon can validate your review if not done through their platform.

    This of course fragments reviews to specific retail storefronts, but if the platform can't validate at least the fact you purchased the item I don't see anyway they can even begin to know you're leaving a legit review.

  • Trump calls judge 'evil' for releasing case files before election

  • But as stated during the trial, the reason he wanted to hide the Stormy stuff was to protect his campaign. So by making a deal with National Enquiry to catch and kill the story to protect his campaign, not his family, means it was a campaign finance violation because he tried to do it on the DL instead of declaring it the legal way.

    And you're right that paying someone to stay silent isn't illegal (as long as the thing you're having them stay silent about itself is legal), but doing it in furtherance of his campaign without properly reporting it is illegal. So pretending it's just a casual falsified business records case is downplaying the election interference by trying to hide payouts to protect his campaign bid (electability).

    Edit - it was the 2nd crime (election interference) that made each count a felony instead of a misdemeanor.

  • FTC's rule banning fake online reviews goes into effect

  • Well if you take a company like Amazon they know everything about you already, including if you actually purchased the item you are reviewing. And that should be a simple first "hurdle" for a reviewer to be legit. They already have a way of sorting them out and labeling them in place. So I would assume this means if you don't have that label your review doesn't go live. They can then add more qualifiers to prove they know the reviewers are real, since this seems to put the onus of proof on the company not that FTC.

  • How Will Lemmy and Social Media Handle Advanced Bots in the Future?

    Jump

  • Has someone posted an argument, or do you in the future see yourself seeing an argument with someone on here taking the side of "alternative facts" and letting that change your mind? If not then it's just someone likely downvoted to the bottom that people will ignore anyways, not worth the time to post it. I think something like Facebook works for these types of things better, as the population is generally older and more likely to see and reshare just any nonsense true or not.

    Because I personally don't see the fediverse as a great medium for trying to bring people into the cult, and the ability to bring people out of the cult is even less likely online, fediverse or not.

  • He is facing several other criminal cases. He already has been convicted on 34 felony counts in New York in relation to a hush-money payment [in his election interference case].

    We are 8 years into this and the media still constantly tries to downplay what this shithead tried to do to the American people in his neverending quest of greed and narcissism.

  • “Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter,” Taylor [Miles Taylor, a DHS chief of staff under Trump] wrote, recalling an alleged exchange with Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff between 2017 and 2019."

    Just real normal stuff to say about your daughter. /s 🤮
