A western democracy is jailing its political opponents and stealing their money and none of the other leaders of western democracies care because they're hoping to do the same thing

Dave Rubin (Rumble) explains the genesis of the Joe Rogan buyout offer. Big company meeting with much food and drink, and talking non-stop about Rogan. Rubin stands up, stumbles, regains his balance, and declares "guys! we should BUY Joe Rogan!"

"Dude! Can we do that? … The lawyer and the accountant says we can try. Let's do it!"

A lot of people getting excited about "free" home tests. ("free" in this case means you pay for it through taxes).

I don't even care if they leave a box of tests on my doorstep. They'd go right in the bin. I refuse to be a willing participant in their farce.

More testing => more false positives => more "cases" => more lockdowns and mandates. JUST SAY NO.

Renaming “masters degrees” to “main degrees”

Just frustrated. Came across two things today.
1) Fauci stating that Merck anti COVID pill study results were impressive because it showed 50% reduction in severe disease

2) NIH study on Ivermectin which concluded Moderate confidence of a 65% reduction in severe disease.

The government purchased 1.7 million doses of Merck for use before is was even evaluated by the FDA.

Ivermectin, which are pennies per pill gets banned.

I've invented a new holiday: National TODO Day

Go through all your source code and do everything you marked TODO.

It will be on September 4th.

I rarely share this kind of stuff on social media.

But i thought i would tonight.

The secret to a long lasting marriage is this:

Stay married.

That is it.

There are many things that can be done to make the marriage more rewarding, peaceful, loving, and happy.

But in the end,

a long term relationship is a choice not an emotion.

Many people want their emotions to lead them. This is a foolish choice. It is akin to asking an unreliable person to lead you through an unfamiliar city. And periodically, the person goes blind.

You just wouldn't do that.

many people think romance is always feeling a certain way. Spoiler alert. You wont always feel that way.

You will probably have seasons where you don't like the person you married. In fact, it is rare not to. This is talked about so little, that many new couples become convinced that there is "something wrong with their marriage". There isn't. They are just experiencing what happens in long term intimacy as differences in mind rub against each other. the worst thing we have done to this generations relationships is not to tell them this always happens, and it is part of the process.

what many find as they stay married is that the love grows deeper. it becomes something that is hard to describe. it becomes more real. more honest. and more resilient.

marriage is a choice.

all emotions occur within that choice.

This is a treasure trove of vaccine information, if you can read through this and still want vaccinated, then I guess more power to you!

Any lawyers on here? I need legal advice.

Is it lawful to withhold money from an employee's paycheck if they got a speeding ticket in a company vehicle while off the clock.

I'm in Washington state.

It's not my ticket though lol

If you have kids age 5-11, and it has full FDA approval, will you give them the vaccine?

Boost for larger sample.

It's early to be thinking about this, but after Apple, what options are there? I'll never go back to Microsoft. (I pray I don't have to eat those words.) Linux ain't for the weak of heart, so I just read.

"Gain of function" is a weasel word. The only correct term is "biological weapon". Do not let anyone force you to use the weasel word when you talk about NIH and Fauci.

Quick-ish note about Trump's "TRUTH" network maybe getting sued by the Mastodon project. The Mastodon people don't like Trump, and that's a great reason to attack him, but in this particular case, assuming the publicly stated dispute is truthful, TRUTH is violating Mastodon's copyright license.

John Sandeman's op-ed on talking to each other carefully as we come out of covid lockdowns is a thoughtful and very relatable read:

I think it is a great achievement to get banned for life on Facebook If I still had an account, it would be the perfect way to cut ties with the toxic platform

Hats off to you, sir Barclay!

If you’re wondering what authoritarian technology futures look like, here’s an example from North Cyprus. This is a message from The Information Technologies and Communication Authority telling me I can use my device (IMEI number sent in the clear in the text) for 90 days without registering it (something I first encountered in Turkey years ago). Also note, they took a copy of my passport while buying the prepaid SIM card (something they also do in Belgium).

The dystopian future is now.
