If your supporters are so numerous, energetic, supportive and dedicated … it shouldn’t matter to any of them what the weather was outside. It would have to be a hurricane to stop them. His supporters should be lining the streets of the capitol demanding to be at the inauguration and wanting to see their new leader in public.
Definitely a lot of snowflakes at this event
For communicable disease? … or fascism?
This may be the first time a snowflake ever melted because of freezing temperatures.
Beautiful poetry that I will note and save … you are a genius with words.
Luigi Mangione did more for the American health care system than any health insurance CEO. Just to clarify, killing a man is deplorable but the fact that his actions sparked these debates and brought them to everyone’s attention should make everyone aware of what his actions caused.
Funny thing about face masks is that they work like a psychological tool as well. The person wearing it is more self conscious because they have something over their mouth. The people who see them with a mask on also become aware and avoid them either because they think it’s weird or think there’s something wrong.
It might not be N95 but the fact it separated people and kept them from directly and opening breathing in potential open air pathogens does make a difference.
Which is why at one point in the height of the pandemic, medical people had to admit that anything over your mouth was better than nothing.
Even if it is an over priced designer mouth gear
Think of it as someone’s private house or warehouse. Everyone is invited in to hang out and talk. At first there is a lot of freedom and no one is really affected. It becomes popular and there are many different types of people and open conversations are happening everywhere.
A new owner takes over the place.
He decides that some people shouldn’t be allowed to talk. He has a bunch of loud mouth obnoxious friends with extreme ideas and he starts giving them a louder voice. Anyone that disagrees or challenges them are drowned out, pushed to the back or told to leave. It’s become their place and their hang out now.
It’s not a public space and you really have no rights to anything there because it’s all privately owned by someone else. Write, share and save as much as you want there but none of it is really under your control or ownership.
You can shout, fight, disagree and challenge them all you want but it’s their place. You have no power there because if you put up too much of a fight, you’ll be pushed out, told to leave and never come back.
I’d love to see your research on shocking your nards … especially to be able to see the video evidence of what happens and what the results are.
This isn’t real research … it’s just a millionaire spending money on trying to live longer for themselves while selling and marketing products on the side.
If it were real research, it would involve a group of recognized researchers and scientists testing products and activities on a small group of volunteers who are fully aware of what they are participating in. And the research has to last for several years using multiple controls.
Watching one guy testing and trying out a few things whenever he feels like it and done at his own whim and under only his opinion and likes and dislikes is not research.
The biggest contribution he has to longevity is in promoting and advertising the fact that one of the ways to extend your lifespan is to become a millionaire.
This is like listening to the abused house wife who keeps running back to the same unapologetic violent husband.
“He’s changed and won’t do it again”
“I believe in him … it’s going to be different this time”
“I’ll give him another chance … again”
“He promised that it will be different this time”
“I know it will work this time”
Exactly … and its good Meta is showing their hand early rather than later … the more unfederated they act, the more likely they’ll leave the fediverse ecosystem.
It’s even more basic than that. I’m convinced its just a matter of controlling food. Every major revolution in history is most commonly initiated because people were just starving to death. They had no choice, either die starving or die trying to overturn the system … so many people opted to just try fighting because they knew they were going to die anyways. They literally fought for the next generation of people after them.
The dynamics are the same today but the ruling class know the lessons of the past so they control the food supply. They make food readily available and within the reach of everyone so no one ever truly is able to starve, at the very least no large segments of the population starves. This also isn’t to say that everyone eats like kings either … just enough food is made available and affordable to keep people from rioting. It’s also the population at play too … most of civilization will put up with shitty quality food, lack of food, low food supplies and inadequate food supplies for long periods of time before (or even if) they revolt.
It all doesn’t mean that people are happy or content … they just aren’t starving … as long as you keep them from starving, chances are high that they won’t have enough motivation to want anything to change.
Of course it works … the problem for corporations and all consuming controlling governments who want to control populations is that they are afraid of what people will think or do in their spare time. Problems for the owning and controlling class arise when large portions of the population have extra days to sit around and consider why things are the way they are in society.
Ukraine could ask the US for military aide to fight the US
I never answer my phone.
If it was non urgent, the person calls once, gets mad for a short while and forgets about calling.
If it was urgent, I’d get more calls, texts, email, video call, knock at the door, mail by post, telegram, stones thrown at my window, smoke signals, naval flash lights in Morse code, carrier pigeons with messages, foxes with messages, police at my door, the local priest at my door, an overhead blimp with a giant sign, an acrobatic aircraft writing a message in the sky or a brick with a piece of paper with a message thrown threw my living room window.
You can only be as rad as you want as long as your hips still function.
Walks in: … (sniffs the air) … hmmmmm … smells like ass
