He was one of the only MAGA that wasn’t letting Epstein go, and he was all about everyone having guns
trump desperately wants people to stop talking about Epstein. And has always hated regular people being able to have guns.
I don’t think a cop accidentally shot him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump had him shot.
Especially since Vance just threw the body on AF2 and flew it out of state within 24 hours
That’s not how you handle an investigation…
- Comment on Psychiatrists fear medicinal cannabis adverse events are 'tip of the iceberg' 4 days ago:
Do you think 13million individuals have cannabis prescriptions?
…
You think every single person only used one dose in three years?
You literally have no idea what you’re talking about here.
If you’re nicer, people might help you understand
- Comment on Psychiatrists fear medicinal cannabis adverse events are 'tip of the iceberg' 4 days ago:
OP is apparently shocked that something that happens 0.0046% of the time isn’t a huge concern…
And that’s not even getting into how those “adverse reactions” includes such debilitating conditions as coughing.
- Comment on Psychiatrists fear medicinal cannabis adverse events are 'tip of the iceberg' 4 days ago:
600 sounds like a lot…
The ABC can reveal there were 615 reports made to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) involving unregistered medicinal cannabis products between July 1, 2022 and June 1, 2025.
600 over 3 years sounds like not as much…
“If we look at the data, which we have been provided by the Pennington Institute, it’s probably around 13 million units sold in that period.”
Bu 600 out of 13,000,000 is…
Well, that’s a 0.0046% percent chance of something happening.
And that should e placed n why people who know what they’re talking about aren’t freaking out.

Minimum purchase limits and preventing use as collateral on loans are two very simple pieces of legislation that would make a huge difference in wealth inequality.

Why would it be a physical impossibility? Doesn’t seem to be for me
…
For most men non-toxic men are not available for friendships
You’re openly contradicting yourself over and over and just insisting the majority of men are shit
Have fun with that I guess
- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 6 days ago:
a system that arbitrarily concentrates most of it on a few people
It’s not arbitrary.
And the reason it’s so much worse now is the distribution.
If one family owned a company, they’d value long term brand loyalty over quarterly profits.
With a corporate board, they all own a piece that’s easily sold, and a whole bunch of other people who don’t have “enough” already. There’s no focus on long term company health, just that the percent return increases.
That’s just not sustainable.
So large corps but up companies, run them into the ground, then sell them off. Often replacing with shitty knockoff quality products under the same brand.
A private owner can be satisfied, a board will always demand the numbers go up.
- Comment on More people are joining the military. A shaky US job market could be boosting the numbers. 6 days ago:
No. This is reluctant people who don’t like trump joining the military because there are no other options
This lowers the percent of boots on the ground personal willing to do anything trump says.
Which…
Honestly should be obvious, but people still don’t want to think more than a step ahead for some reason. Which is the whole reason we’re in this mess to begin with; people not planning ahead.
- Comment on As a man, the easiest way to get someone to care about my feelings would be to transition to female. 6 days ago:
You’re acting like it’s a physical impossibility…
I played sports thru college and then joined the military, me and my friends from that period hug when we see each other.
Nothing weird about it.
There are men who are too insecure to hug other men, which is what you replied to:
Sounds like you need better friends.
Men secure in their own masculinity don’t have any problems hugging other men.
- Comment on Trumps says Venezuelan jets will be 'shot down' if they endanger US ships 1 week ago:
There can be multiple assholes…
Like, Biden literally violated the Leahy law
(a) IN GENERAL. – No assistance shall be furnished under this Act or the Arms Export Control Act to any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of State has credible information that such unit has committed a gross violation of human rights.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leahy_Law
There was credible evidence US weapons were used in Israels’s genocide of Palestinians.
Congress didn’t immediately approve more aid, so Biden unilaterally (and illegally) went around Congress to provide arms that then were used to commit genocide.
Is trump worse?
Fucking obviously.
But Joe Biden is a fucking monster and Kamala repeatedly and proudly told anyone that would listen she’d be exactly the same.

- Comment on 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real. 1 week ago:
I mean, we call 3D as 3D because of 1D and 2D.
No, we call it 3d because there are three physical dimensions we move thru: front/back, side to side, up and.
We experience time linearly, so it’s not included. However time behaving like the three other dimensions isn’t precluded by a single law in physics. Literally everything works backwards just as fine as forwards, except consciousness. We need the cause/effect of linear time to be conscious.
Since they don’t exist in our reality
Think of it like fireworks. There can be multiple in your field of view at once.
Each firework is a universe, with its own unique laws of physics and number of physical dimensions. Multiple are still “real” at the same time, even if they’re incredibly unlikely to interact.
I mean, one of the leading theories on how a universe forms is there’s giant “planes” randomly bumping into each other. On that scale not only are multiple universes “real” we’re all completely inconsequential and incredibly fleeting. Not just as individuals, species or even planets. Entire universes don’t matter.
If you’re interested there’s a lot to learn about with all that stuff, but it honestly doesn’t really matter.
- Comment on 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real. 1 week ago:
1D and 2D are just mathematical abstractions.
Your confusion is you expect 1d and 2d universes to exist within ours, when the reality is they are separate universes.
It’s not like one is built on top of the other, they exist separately and incompatibly.
We currently only see models of it in our universe, just like anyone from a higher order universe would only be able to see models of ours.
It would take insane levels of technology for them to even briefly appear here, and the only reason that would be worth it is if we’re essentially a “warp” zone for them where moving a short distance here would translate to a huge distance back home, at faster to whatever their equivalent of a speed of light is.

That’s the thing about cognitive decline…

- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
What?
, just go into the trades instead.” This view seems increasingly common, and it’s worrying. There’s a trend of glorifying blue-collar work while demeaning white-collar paths, as if pursuing higher education is somehow less valid. Young people should be encouraged to reach for higher education and intellectual growth, not steered toward careers that can wreck their bodies with manual labor.
It sounds like you’re upset that some people are saying you should go to school for something that will have available jobs…
By all means, if you want to be an unemployed coder, go into coding.
- Comment on Therapists are secretly using ChatGPT. Clients are triggered. 1 week ago:
They’re not “triggered” they’re pissed their doctor is offloading work to a chatbot and violating HIPAA because the chatbot retains everything you type into it for future training.
If shrinks are using chat it’s to do their work and not disclosing to patients and getting their consent…
That’s a huge liability in multiple legal aspects

- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 2 weeks ago:
I mean, kind of…
That means individual server owners have to decide for themselves if they believe an age verification component is a necessary addition.
The laws are written for capitalism. Not an open source code base that lets literally anyone create an instance of their own.
So “Mastodon” might have lawyers and shit, but a tiny instance with 100 people would just get shut down, or maybe even charges.
It sounded great at first, till I got to the part they were just passing the buck to smaller instances.
