What’s funny is cheap bad sources of food fuel obesity. That’s why America is so fat. All the cheap food is terrible for you and subsidized by the government, so that you’ll need diabetes medication for your entire life enriching the health insurance and big pharma companies.

Sorry, slightly off topic, and obligatory fuck Israel.

LOL

(which ultimately means there’s no knownbiomarker to test for).

I had a relatively serious TBI as a teenager that wasn’t treated properly (long story) and when the symptoms from it became impossible to ignore as a young adult it was my fault for being lazy and there’s nothing wrong with me I just needed to try harder.

That level of gaslighting makes me hate the medical industry.

Yes!

No fucking way! Being medically gaslit leads to bad outcomes! The sky is blue and water is wet!!

This entire thing is being done in America by American companies and the American government.

That is what’s going on in our politics

You could literally say all of this about America. Credit scores anyone? Billionaire owned social media networks that ban, shadowban, and otherwise squash leftist dissent but allow Nazis to run wild on their platforms? Fascist billionaires who spread endless 24/7 propaganda that favors them in people’s social media feeds? All of the facial recognition and spying our own agencies do against us?

Authoritarianism is bad and you don’t need to go to China to find it. It’s right here in America. By American owned companies who are above the law because they write the laws.

This is just China bad fear mongering.

I’m aware. It’s been a dictatorship of capital for a while but now it’s fully mask off when the so called opposition refuses to oppose.

“Illegal protests”

I fucking hate these people so much

And what about queer people who don’t play the pronoun police power tripping game? We should just go fuck ourselves I guess

We’re about to be genocided but yeah let’s make a safe space for fantasy fucking neo pronouns and non human identities. Yeah. You really got your eye on the ball when it comes to the safety of queer people while supporting those who make a mockery of us. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

I’ll die on the hill that their bullshit about pronouns and respecting nonsense and made up troll identities that make a mockery of us makes the world LESS SAFE for queer people. As a queer person who is visibly gender nonconforming and at physical risk in our current political environment. Im willing to be banned from all of lemmy over this idgaf.

Millennial queers and our elders fought like hell for acceptance so children could get their panties in a twist over being “misgendered” by strangers on the internet who don’t know them nor give a fuck what their gender is. Do these kids even touch grass? Chronically online children putting us all at risk.

Meanwhile we have real serious threats to our physical safety in America but yeah. Let’s whine and cry about being misgendered! it’s oppression!

Edit - IRL I call people what they want to be called. Online I have no idea who the fuck you are or what your gender is nor am I going to remember. And the genderless “they” is not undermining your gender you don’t get to police the English language. And that’s really what this is about. People who feel powerless grabbing on to what little power they have to police others behavior under the ironic concept of “gatekeeping.” That’s the pronoun whining in a nutshell.

As for the question at hand, lock old posts, let new ones through. Their moderation is heavy handed and not queer friendly and they deserve criticism for it. Only their kind of queer is accepted. Not people like me living in reality, staring down the beginning of a genocide and telling them to grow the fuck up.

Electric cars are just greenwashing for the upper class to feel good about themselves while not doing a single fucking thing to curb their materialism. Electric cars saved the auto industry they’re not saving the earth.

They have zero chance of getting anywhere in America so I don’t really care about their negatives. I voted up and down the ballot for them last election.

The democrats are never going to learn (good billionaires! Let’s pivot further to the right!) so a stinging loss it is. They and their blue MAGA vote blue no matter who idiot supporters deserve to lose.

I mean look at them right now. They can’t even do the bare minimum and obstruct everything like the republicans do. Totally fucking useless.

someone in CBP? a local sheriff? business owners that exploit labor and facilitated it?

Yup. I wish trump would go after the enablers, punch up instead of down, but nope. Those people are white!

Apocalypse gestures broadly

Fuck yeah vermont!

Yeah, that’s a reference to Bernie’s base.

Right to heck

What a fucking loser if she can’t even say hell she never supported trans rights in the first place
