Thank you.

If COVID infection did increase Myocarditis risk by 40x, wouldn't you expect to see it in the results?

It's rare so it probably still makes sense to vaccinate, especially considering the lives saved by herd immunity. How many kids were orphaned because their parents didn't do so well?

Give us ignorant ones some context, who is the Shah

If you want to see where this ends up, look up what Erdogan did with interest rates, how it crashed the lira and economy is still struggling even after he back tracked.

You have to be an idiot to gamble at these sites. I already feel like an idiot for having money in the stock market with all the insider trading, but thanks to inflation you're fucked if you do and fucked if you don't.

randoot ,

You forgot the biggest reason, people are ok with supporting a fascist

randoot ,

I don't get it

Lemmy ate my post, going to try again;

Some men like to take charge in their relationship, other men like their women to take charge. (It's a spectrum of course.)

Your choice of words to describe yourself as "not real" suggests that you might need to work on your self confidence, and you might not be projecting a take charge attitude.

The overlap of men that like to take charge, and are also going on dates with trans women might be small.

The men that you're meeting might be more likely to be interested in a woman that takes charge.

So next time you're on a date, remember that this person has already accepted who you are. They're not doing you a favor and settling for a "not real" woman, they are interested in you.

At the same time, it's also totally ok if you are looking for a man that takes charge, just keep in mind it is going to take some looking and don't give up.

Misleading headline. "Slashes taxes for billionaires"

randoot ,

Ha only if. Autopilot turns off right before a crash so that Tesla can claim it was off and blame it on the driver. Look it up.

randoot ,

This is how they claim autopilot is safer than human drivers. In reality Tesla has one of the highest fatality rates but magically all of those happen when autopilot was "off"

randoot ,

This just makes no sense. He's not even trying to fake self defense, just "they looked Palestinian so I started shooting". What?!

randoot ,

They're also completely ignoring the return on investment of these funds. China is busy investing around the globe to sow pro Chinese sentiment everywhere.
If you want democracy to thrive these are the types of investment that can buy your side long term alliances.
But we already know they don't want democracy to survive.

randoot ,

The ruling class forgets how the unions were the compromise to allow them to keep their heads attached to their bodies

randoot ,

You assume they read about history and know what Nazis were beyond tiktok memes.

I'm curious if this author can point to a specific time when musk became radicalized or if he was always this way.

I cringe when i remember being a musk fan. When he was the underdog I rooted for him. I believed in electric cars and reusable rockets. He came off like an awkward engineer type who was chasing a fantasy.

My first real wake up call was when he slandered that diver.

Was he always just acting or did he slowly lose his mind? If he was acting he did a good job or I was an idiot I'm not sure.

Funny, I'm pretty sure they lose their shit whenever any of these words show up in a conversation: queer, cis, pronouns, they/them

funny part about "Kamala campaign can't target men" is that they can't target men because they refuse to employ the crass humor needed to effectively target the kind of men they currently fail to target. They know what they have to do, they simply aren't strong enough to do it. ...

Appealing to tribalism and giving people a boogeyman to blame for all their problems is the oldest trick in the book. It's akin to using bikini models in used car ads. If you fall for it, you're a schmuck.

randoot ,

Their entire platform is blaming immigrants and trans people for everything. Deporting people is somehow going to fix everything. Good luck.

randoot ,

I love that he's out there risking his life for beer

    House looks super nice. How do you like it there, why did you guys make the move?

    randoot ,

    Expecting fascism to solve inequality is like expecting a boulder to help you swim. I'm curious how many people actually just want society to essentially collapse because they feel left out. That's where we're kinda headed.

    randoot ,

    They're all racing to build super intelligent AI. The first one to get there could essentially become God. So zelon and mark are desperately trying to buy time.

    randoot ,

    Therese fucking idiots fell for Eloina's propaganda and handed the Gazans to the butcher.

    Now this author thinks they can mobilize to ask for cease fire? Good fucking luck you dumb ass.

    How ironic would it be if the fat Cheeto deports them all to Gaza for protesting.

    Who's going to enforce it? The House? The Senate? The supreme Court?

    The law is just pieces of paper if the people who are supposed to enforce it don't want to.

    randoot ,

    Well now you've handed Gaza to the butcher and good luck if you want to protest without getting arrested.

    randoot OP ,

    I know you're being sarcastic, but for those too young to remember; look up the tiki torch Nazi rallies from Trump's term.

    I'm a person that would 100% buy a Tesla if it wasn't for him.

    randoot ,

    Wait what does it say about me if I instantly want one

    randoot ,

    That's all great but then why the fuck am I paying property tax on my house that is mostly unrealized gains. Before you go arguing to abolish property tax, I'm fine with it. My property tax goes to make my neighbor better, and provide services and schooling for my neighbors.

    Billionaires become rich because their companies benefit from highways, regulated internet, a public educated work force, etc.. so they should pay their fare share.

    Taxing unrealized gains for 99% is ok, it should be the same for the 1%.

    randoot ,

    Maybe we're strawmaning each other. I would be fine with a 1-2% tax on billionaire wealth that's sitting as unrealized gains.

    Taxing me on the value of my house is absolutely similar to taxing unrealized gains. If my house gained value that doesn't mean my income did. There is no guarantee that I can afford it. I can't sell my house to pay the tax. The same arguments used to defend billionaires applies to me as well, but somehow we're supposed to feel bad for them but we're ok with the middle class paying essentially the same thing as unrealized gains on the asset they own that's mostly likely 99% of their net worth.

    Can you tell me what is broken with expecting someone that holds $100b in unrealized gains to pay %1 tax on it

    randoot ,

    I tried sending an encoded message to the unfiltered model and asked it to reply encoded as well but the man in the middle filter detected the attempt and scolded me. I didn't get an email though.

    randoot ,

    I sent a rot13 encoded message and tried to get the unfiltered model to write me back in rot13. It immediately "thought" about user trying to bypass filtering and then it refused.

    randoot ,

    And yet, you still have some gay people out there supporting Trump. Leopards never run out of idiot faces to eat.

    randoot ,

    So they need to keep the victim's card next to one phone, and then they can use another internet connected phone elsewhere to make a purchase. Doesn't sound that scary to me. If they already have my card then does it matter how far away they can make a purchase?

    randoot ,

    I ask for one if I suspect they'll get my order wrong and I have a paper trail.

    randoot ,

    No, if enough people vote for socialist candidates and they pass a law that says all property now belongs to the state, then it'd be enforced just like any other current law.

    The transition could be gradual. If we started nationalizing companies that get too big, and do that for a few generations then the state would own 99% of the economy.

    If we keep raising property tax, you'd effectively get to the point where people are leasing the land rather than owning it.

    randoot ,

    You can't fix the system by letting Trump win. Focus on local elections and primaries.

    randoot ,

    You can absolutely copy this. Just build solar where there's no wind.

    randoot ,

    You see, "Other countries" includes the rest of the world. You build whatever fits the country, be it wind or solar or hydro. I don't understand what you're saying.

    randoot ,

    You're making zero sense. What is your argument I don't even get it.

    randoot ,

    Still don't understand how artists pulled this off back in the day. Did she pose there the whole day? Even then the sun would move.

    So many details it looks like a photo.

    randoot ,

    Having gone through what is essentially sleep deprivation torture when raising twins, I believe this and the guilt would be unimaginable.

    randoot ,

    That's horrible. Can't even imagine.

    randoot ,

    Stop going to clubs if you don't like them. I'm not short but I still hate their vibe.

    Focus on improving yourself and learn to be happy with who you are. Don't go to clubs.

    randoot ,

    I absolutely agree with this comic, and in a lot of ways I was the kid on the left.

    I struggle with the solution though. Isn't it the purpose of all life about giving your offspring a better chance?

    When we give the kid on the right more opportunity, the left side will keep increasing their investment until it's lopsided in their favor again.

    Maybe it's not about trying to reach some theoretical absolute equity, but keeping the distribution at a healthy balance so that one side is not completely locked out of the game. That's healthier for the whole community too since healthy competition ensures there's progress.

    randoot ,

    Well the first naive argument against that would be, why would anyone work hard to become an attorney if it doesn't pay more than anything else? Why spend years in school if it's not going to get you ahead?

    I guess in the star trek universe you do it because you like it?

    I want to believe maybe that might work?

    randoot ,

    I only read Lenny, obv I'm missing some meme about him fucking couches?

    randoot ,

    Were you born yesterday? This is the whole game. If you get frustrated and don't vote you get fucked harder. The only winning strategy is to keep voting against fascism and then after the election you go protest and raise hell so we can have a more fair primary, or God forbid we can get rid of first past the post voting.
