These people literally don't know what mRNA is, they believe it's the same thing as DNA because it sounds vaguely similar. It's good to see actual experts calling him out though! We really need more of this.

I wish I could set aside my convictions and care for others to make money this easily.

Hopefully, someone adds a touch or arsenic to these pills.

Of course the URL has to appeal to the wannabe driving his lifted pickup truck, it has the word warrior in it. You get all these meatheads with delusions of being some sort of Spartan badass because they took 300 as a documentary.

And ironically enough they have more in common with the Persian "soldiers" which are just fodder for their God King.

And are either too stupid or too ashamed to recognize all the thinly veiled homoerotic themes

They probably think 300 means 300lbs…

He selling measles?

Wait until he finds about the big room full of brass pipes feeding oxygen and nutrients to the brain of J Edgar Hoover, from where he is still running absolutely everything.

I sure hope we get some crazy satirical video game from this time in history

If only he had spent some skill points in Charisma, he'd have the dialogue option to talk Hoover into self destructing, but alas

Is that actually him? Just yesterday I fell for "Kash Patel News" on Twitter, and found his right handle there is Kash_Patel, but this seems to be a different platform.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

seems like the platform is called truthsocial, there are links in here:

I would assume if this account was not real he would have sued them for using his name for commercial purposes

That's assuming he's informed and self-aware enough to notice it's even happening.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Thank you!

With the links I could also scroll though some posts and saw some other people using the handle to congratulate him on his new position. Seems real to me.

Okay, can I die now? I don't wanna live in this kind of world.

I understand this a fairly lot. But, I cannot wait to die. In fact, that is my only wish. This world causes a lot more hurt than I can handle. I am lonely and don't know how to fix that or if I am doomed to be that forever. I cannot stop feeling like a failure. All I can do is keep my emotions regulated, which is hard AF and takes all my effort.

Hey man, I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I can absolutely relate to all of that. The way things are going in the world is certainly making things feel darker than ever.

If these are of any consolation I'd like to share them; they are a few realizations that I've come to over time, and that I try to bring myself back to when I start feeling those feelings:

  • I can't control the world. There are things in motion that I simply won't be able to affect, set that way long before I ever came along, and that ball will keep rolling long after I'm gone.

  • I'm not a failure for not becoming a millionaire, famous musician, successful executive; for not having the relationship I wanted by this point; for not owning a home yet; or whatever high standards I held my future self to. I know more than that person did, and that person, compared to me today, had a very naive outlook on how things will or ought to be.

  • You are up against the most advanced technologies we have ever created; the most conniving of villains; the worst pollutions; the greatest wage gap in human history; inflation is skyrocketing and unemployment is too; we are in a great recession; you have to date through apps, and we are more isolated than at any time in our history. You are not a failure for struggling against these pressures!

  • I'm going to die one day, but I'm here right now. The ride will end; I don't need to get off of it early, and I can experience things like awe and wonder while I'm here. And I can help and love people.

I am not a failure for these things. My only fault was ever thinking that I, the world, my life, should be so perfect; and even then, being wrong is expected of us. We are dreamers. Don't be so hard on yourself, you are doing so great.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

there are much more productive things that can be done than dying, such as [redacted] or [censored]

Now made with 100% bullshit.

I don't like being alive, I already didn't, but I like it less now. I crave the afterlife.

I also choose that guy's dead wife

Vaccines are evolution at work. So long as they work, you live longer and have a higher chance of reproducing. This is not a difficult concept. My genetic line is going on as long as I can throw it.
