  • Pretending to care about genocide while literally advocating for genocide as an acceptable price for…

    checking notes being complicit in fascism?

    Just another normal day for blue MAGA mental gymnastics.

    Go ahead, show us another routine, Greg!

  • How do you read all that and come to this conclusion?

    Like, it’s genuinely impressive how low-intelligence you are. I bet you felt zero cognitive dissonance throughout that entire discourse.

    You’ve literally been made a clown of and proven wrong at the most basic level, and yet you proclaim your grand intellectual victory.

    Go ahead lil guy, use those logic and facts you’re so proud of again! You can do it!

  • What a reductive and thought-terminating argument that also simultaneously devalues the very phrase and idea you are invoking.

    I think some self-crit could come in handy here. People, comrades, are engaging with you in good faith and you are sending poop and middle finger emojis, and making ad hominem attacks because surely you must be right on everything all the time and we are all just jealous you have a girlfriend.

    Nobody is saying the cyclist wasn’t an asshole to escalate like that. However, you still haven’t stated if you crossed at a designated crossing. By your own admission it sounds like you didn’t look before crossing and forced the cyclist to make an emergency stop. Cycle paths are designed for cyclists to cycle fast. Courtesy goes both ways.

    I don’t want this to come off as harassment and therefore will disengage. I just hope this can be an opportunity for reflection rather than conflict.

    What are your thoughts on the American scam economy and its implications for the ongoing collapse?

    I recently bought the family a new vehicle from an official dealer, needed for their contractor job and as a family car. The fucking sleazy salesperson used my contact information from the purchase to call me during dinnertime and try to sell me on this side hustle pyramid scheme FiNaNCiaL SeRviCeS seminar.

    First of all, I just gave you a big-ass commission from buying this big-ass car with $10k of MarKeT AdJusTmeNtS. Then you have the audacity to use my PII from your job to insult my intelligence by trying to pyramid scheme me?

    This got me thinking on the prevalence of the modern American "scam economy" and how it signals the ongoing collapse of the capitalist world. Not only are workers paid a penny for every dollar of profit their labor generates, they must take second jobs just to make ends meet (generating even more stolen profit) while being wrung out by seemingly endless scams.

    Hawaii DOH issues measles advisory to healthcare providers

    …currently, no cases of measles acquired in Hawai‘i have been reported.

    Vaccination rates in Hawaiʻi are even lower in some pockets. Notably, multiple schools on Maui, Kauaʻi, and Hawaiʻi Island report vaccination rates below 75%, which could lead to greater vulnerability. This is below the 82% vaccination rate in Gaines County, which is the epicenter for the Texas-New Mexico outbreak. An outbreak on a neighbor island would heavily strain its healthcare system, and no neighbor island hospital has a pediatric intensive care unit.

    All it takes is one plague bearer on one plane.

    Measles is one of the most contagious viruses currently known. If a person is infected with measles, an expected nine out of 10 people nearby who do not have immunity also will become infected.

    For measles, a population vaccination rate of at least 95% is needed to protect the community from an outbreak.

    The fall of empire continues. Stay masked, everyone. Cloth masks are better than nothing but o
