i am pretty sure Dittman is a real person https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/bad-news-for-adrian-dittman-elon-musk-truthers/

this is less a problem of ‘people are stupid’ and more ‘educational institutions have been dismantled over the last several decades and large numbers of people are pushed through school despite being functionally illiterate, if they graduate at all’

is anyone here talking about the systematic dismantling of public education and starving of teachers and children in terms of learning resources and actual food

also i again have to complain about Idiocracy, the comedy film that suggests intelligent rich people will solve our problems and stupid poor people will doom society, where in reality you have incredibly wealthy and also incurious, unintelligent ghouls hoarding generational wealth, making it a top priority to have tons of children in order to make their ‘superior’ genes take over.

my wisdom teeth surgery was the best sleep ive ever had

try telling this to people who think government agencies pay taxes

i wonder how they did it without Elon knowing about it

if the cr passes then the administration will have a substantial slush fund from the departments and agencies that have been scuttled with which to do whatever they want with. a shutdown is really bad but the other options are worse. this is harm reduction

i like how jd kept flubbing his lines. I HAVE BEEN TO… I HAVE SEEN REPORTS ON TV ABOUT STUFF

im baffled by the blase response by lemmy users to government overreach

i love personal anecdotes where someone makes sure to call everyone but them stupid and fat. eating proper meals takes time and money, which a great many people do not have, and large portions of the population do not have even live in areas with fresh food. ever heard of a food desert?

also the BMI system is based entirely on white Irish men of a specific height who lived like a hundred years ago.

also also, being ‘fat’ does not always mean you’re unhealthy, and being ‘skinny’ does not always make you healthy.
