Check out people like Dana White. Does he seem even remotely trustworthy?
- Comment on Can a person who is representing his or herself still play the insanity defense or EED defense? 3 days ago:
I guess it depends what the court wants to believe, which could be based on case law/precedent or expert testimony.
- Comment on Can a person who is representing his or herself still play the insanity defense or EED defense? 3 days ago:
A person who is severely mentally ill may be barred from representing themselves if they would not be able to do a competent job.
See floridabar.org/…/court-amends-rule-dealing-with-t…
My thoughts on that is tbh at if a defendant was coherently and effectively serving as their own attorney in court, that would indicate to the court that they are not severely mentally ill. Or if they produced evidence like expert testimony saying they were, it could disqualify them from self representing.
- Comment on White House Approves $9 Billion for C.I.A and N.S.A to Catch Up on A.I. 1 week ago:
It’s not clear if future Republican presidents will have the legislative branch in his thrall to the same extent.
- Comment on White House Approves $9 Billion for C.I.A and N.S.A to Catch Up on A.I. 1 week ago:
That’s the current situation. As far as things like being in charge of appropriations, though, Congress has recently abdicated their responsibilities, even more than in the past.
- Comment on White House Approves $9 Billion for C.I.A and N.S.A to Catch Up on A.I. 1 week ago:
How about we go back to Congress doing Congress’ job?
- Comment on 'We are getting punished for being self-employed' 2 months ago:
Sure, I get that it’s a different situation. Just commenting on being punished for being self employed.
- Comment on 'We are getting punished for being self-employed' 2 months ago:
That’s how health insurance works in the US. If you’re not working for a decent sized company, or in some sort of union pool, you’re fucked. Pretty sure it’s by design.

Well damn, Zoopla is on it
- Comment on Can people irl be as mean as some people online? 3 months ago:
They can be. Think of the incidents like that lady calling little kids racial slurs (then getting a fat check from fund raising), or how some people act in customer service situations. Or I mean, random assaults and shootings. Online can give anyone anonymity, which is definitely often abused, but some people feel that way in public surrounded by people they don’t know.

Observe their interactions with other people and what their motivations seem to be. For instance, I have a friend who likes hanging out with people who are entertaining, but if it’s someone who has something additional to offer him - people who stream and have a larger audience, women, people who might donate to him - he seems particularly excited even when there’s nothing about their personality that would seem to lead to that. So, does he like me for me? Probably because I don’t have a lot to offer him. But does he really like this one streamer with 50x as many subs as he has? Probably just because he wants to use them to boost his own profile.
- Comment on If government hackers can infiltrate big companies, why not hack normal people? 11 months ago:
That does happen, but mainly through automated mass means like phishing and ransomware. Individuals also get targeted by tactics like romance or finance scams. I think you could probably see how a large corporation would be a more lucrative hacking target worth a lot of dedicated time vs. one individual.

- Comment on IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA 1 year ago:
And it’s not just losing money, of course. That’s the amount that people, largely wealthy people, will get to personally keep by not complying with tax laws. Gosh, could it possibly be on purpose? I wonder.

Do you have any sources besides this foreign influenced fascist bullshit site?
- Comment on Stephen Miller Embarrasses CNN Over Absurd Trump-Musk DOGE Question | Headline USA 1 year ago:
Trump explicitly said that Musk and Ramaswamy would be running “DOGE”. What changed? Oh, they figured out they had to weasel out of it and lie. That’s really embarrassing and amusing, Herr Miller. His “explanation” doesn’t even make sense - what a weasel. As if departments don’t have heads because the President theoretically tells them what to do? Jesus right wing media is fucking trash.
- Comment on Watch: Trump Calls Out Massive Social Security Fraud After DOGE Exposes Ancient 'Vampires' 1 year ago:
Yep, apparently you’re one of the people who believe whatever tripe Musk spews. The guy has been lying and exaggerating about his businesses for years. He lies and distorts about political events on Twitter every single day.
He hasn’t proven in any way whatsoever that he found real Social Security fraud, and in fact, it’s been disputed by people who worked for the agency and actually know what they’re talking about. And then, Musk has not demonstrated any way whatsoever that they have done anything to fix this alleged fraud. You’re getting snowed by bullshit. Cool sounding “teehee clever” hashtag though, you’re doing great.

Jesus, this community is an endless parade of horrors.
- Comment on DOGE needs to 'cut deeper' and must ‘keep slashing’ to succeed, says Kevin O’Leary 1 year ago:
It took off from the US and apparently the landing gear failed. Trump and his pasty pal, are they going to increase the number of inspectors and tighten regulations for airplane maintenance? Seems doubtful. Probably fire as many inspectors as possible.
