I went to check it out. It’s 100% real.

Now they’re trotting out reports they’ve miraculously found of him being a human trafficker.
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 1 week ago:
From what I can find you’re talking about sale pricing. Which also happens to other proteins.
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 1 week ago:
I’d love to know where you live that one of the most marketable pieces of pork is cheaper than chicken and ground beef. Because that would be amazing.
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 1 week ago:
Pork loin is 7 dollars a pound. Ground beef is cheaper. Chicken or tofu are by far the cheapest proteins.
And I’m sorry but you cannot survive on spinach, oranges, pork, rice, and beans. Not to mention that rice is a 20 minute cook and dried beans take literal hours.
You can’t just say something is cheap when the knock is time, money, and mental energy. You sound like those yuppis born into money, just telling people to buy a house to get on the financial freedom train.
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 1 week ago:
It’s really not cheap. We have the studies about how it’s more expensive and about how food deserts exist. And time? Lmao. You get home from an 8-5 job at 6-7 depending on your commute. Which means you have 2-3 hours for relaxation, food, exercise, social activity, bills, and house chores before you have to go to sleep so you can get 8 hours.
And expecting someone to work all day and still have abundant mental energy is just pure toxic positivity. That’s not the experience of most people. We also have historical studies showing we didn’t “work” as much in pre-industrial times and that with the rise of shift work comes the rise of prepared food as a calorie source.
The answer here is plainly to regulate the prepared food, not blame people for their lack of a pocket universe operating on a different timescale.
- Comment on The poop psa absolutely no one asked for 1 week ago:
That takes money, time, and mental energy. None of which are in high supply for most people working shift jobs or 8-5. The best personal solution is to make and freeze your meals on your off day so you can just heat them up whenever. The best systemic solution is to guillotine a capitalist for producing toxic food that masquerades as healthy and delicious, then ask the others if they have any questions about the new food regulations.
This is far less of a problem in other countries. We don’t have to let corporations treat us as an exploitable resource.

There are cities that use medics on motor bikes for this exact reason. They can’t evac someone but getting there quickly to use a defibrillator or control bleeding could make a difference.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 week ago:
That’s part of my point now though, he’s going to have the very best and about ten times the people on the job as compared to his security detail back then.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 week ago:
I mean, it takes all kinds right? A desire to go out big can manifest in so many ways and he didn’t go after an A list actor, or a CEO, or any number of other high profile people. There is a reason he decided on Trump, even if his original impetus was suicide.

The sheer amount of money being removed by the 1 percent is regoddamndiculius. It’s something like 45 trillion dollars since wages diverged from productivity in 1975.
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 2 weeks ago:
It would require Apple to accept a dollar less in profit.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
Marketing aside, any normative young person can pass boot camp. (And basic training) The military gets worried when the pass rates for those courses gets low. Versus keeping pass rates low for schools like special squirrel.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
It’s hard to say. He’s definitely closer to it than any president since JFK. But security is way better these days. And before the FBI comes knocking on my door, this is just an objective analysis.
We’ve already had a shooter with a near miss. So clearly there’s the will to do this among some segment of the population. Probably a conservative who feels betrayed or person who is truly far left, (not just a progressive).
However, security during the campaign and for JFK was a lot less than it is now. It’s going to be a lot harder to get close enough with a rifle. If you think of a plan the USAA has already thought about it and probably has a counter of some sort.
So while he’s definitely the closest, I don’t think we’ll see another president assassinated unless they do something truly stupid like gut the USSS.
- Comment on An AI avatar tried to argue a case before a New York court. The judges weren't having it. 2 weeks ago:
In this case there was no real issue. He was trying to get free advertising out of the court. But also, we’ve had animated avatars and text to voice for over a decade now. This isn’t an AI use case.

- Comment on FL wants more child labor 3 weeks ago:
How dare you speak ill of the holy Corporation! It is superior to all of us lowly humans. If it needs a child sacrifice to function then we must give up our best children!
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 3 weeks ago:
Lmao. Nope. And anything you are supposed to get is covered under the At Will employment laws. Which is a fancy way of saying your boss can walk in and say you’re fired at any time, give no reason, and tell the state it was for cause so they shouldn’t pay out your Unemployment Insurance.
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 3 weeks ago:
Florida infamously removed water break regulations. In a state the military regularly suspends training due to the heat index. I’m starting to get the idea that these aren’t good people.
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 3 weeks ago:
All workers should have a guaranteed meal break on any shift that takes up 6 hours or more of their day, commute included. The economy is supposed to work for us, not exploit us.
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 3 weeks ago:
Kids shouldn’t have to be earning money. We are more than a cog in some capitalist’s machine. Productivity has massively increased and instead of demanding the gains of that increase we bemoan the loss of “opportunities”.

That’s interesting and all but many Spanish speaking people have had family on this side of the border since California was a Mexican territory.
