Hey so as the economy continues to get worse in the next few years, gambling companies are going to go extra hardcore predatory as people become more desperate. Yes, even more than they already are. You have to promise me right now you're not going to fall for it. No gambling, okay?

This is going to be especially bad with prediction markets and sports gambling, and it's already really fucking bad. But it also goes for loot boxes, blind box collectables, trading card games, and ESPECIALLY gacha games.

Abolish Tesla.

[seymour-butz-stuff]

Elon uses his overvalued Tesla stock as collateral for all his loans.

If the stock price crashes, banks will ask for their money back.

The Twitter deal alone would break him - twitter has tanked in value, he couldn't sell it to pay off his loans.

Remember: the more difficult you make it for them to realize a report is false, the more useless you make the portal.

[anneofgreengaybles]

every time you see a headline like this

I want you to remember these ones

[anneofgreengaybles]

And these ones

[leebrontide]

Don’t let anybody tell you that nobody is doing anything. Don’t let anybody tell you that we are helpless and hopeless.

[ruffboi-mags]

This isn't a headline, but on Wednesday afternoon, me and a few of my coworkers ducked out of our office to cheer on the anti-Elon, anti-Trump, anti-bigotry protest march around our state capitol building that went past our office building.

They marched for over 5 hours, because they were still going when I left that evening.

Do not let them tell you no one's doing anything. That's just what they want you to believe.

Its about to be real lucrative to be a snitch. Guard your information. And guard your friends information.

Fourth Riech shit.

[forgotn1]

Remember the person who snitched on Luigi? All because they wanted the reward, which they ended up not getting because the police & government used loopholes to get out of paying it.

The same thing will happen if you rat out immigrants. The odds of you getting the money are low. It's a carrot on a stick to get you to do the work for them.

I have a client who was diagnosed with literal LIVER CANCER, aka one of the deadliest, and normally so hard to treat. Famously killed David Bowie and Alan Rickman both.

He was given MONTHS to live, but then ended up being one of the first people in the state to get a state of the art infusion therapy for his cancer.

It’s been over a year, and his tumors have shrunk so much they are no longer detectable.

That used to be UNHEARD OF.

Federal funding is the only reason that happened.

Like Jesus Christ.

In a historic outcome that promised to halt the rising scourge of the United States in its tracks, America has defeated America at the ballot box, sources confirmed Wednesday. “After 248 years of tense and often divisive conflict, we can finally say, as of this morning, that the nation turned out at the polls and delivered a decisive blow to the nation,” said electoral analyst Kurt Howitzer, describing the results as a remarkable triumph of the democratic experiment over democracy.

FRIENDS IN AMERICA: DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANY LGBTQIA+ STUDIES OR SURVEYS. chances are they’re fake/being monitored and your real/legal name will be recorded

[thetrashiestoftrash]

As has been pointed out by more legally-savvy people than me, the problem is not "oh no! The VA is running a totally fake study as a front to collect info about LGBT vets!" That's conspiracy-brained fearmongering. Slightly better is "oh no! someone is impersonating the VA to collect info about LGBT vets!" but it doesn't quite hit the root of the problem.

The problem is that even a perfectly legitimate study collects data that someone else might access. It's not enough to ask yourself, "Is this a real study, and is it being carried out for well-intentioned purposes?" You have to also ask yourself, "Do I think this organization is equipped to safeguard any info from the study for as long as Trump and his buddies are in positions to demand that info, knowing that he intends to lie, change the rules, ignore the rules, and appoint people who will help him do all of the above?"

The VA study is a potential risk because the VA is a federal institution, and as such it may be easier for other parts of the federal government to rifle through their records for anything they can use.
