Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

  • "You can't boo me" was also supposed to be a joke... both are pretty sad jokes I will say.

  • Perfect. Subscribed.

  • Please clap.

  • Man, you just reminded me of YouDontSurf and WhereDidTheSodaGo, two communities I'd long forgotten about and that we need to keep alive in Lemmy.

    edit: i have been informed yds does exist

  • In a fantasy version of America in my head, the lower trial judges would put President Trump to trial over this and numerous, numerous other corrupt acts, and make their rulings un-appealable to the full Supreme Court because many of the Supreme Court judges are directly implicated by the same investigations into Trump.

  • Yeah i seriously see this looking from the outside. There's a whole gradient of nuance between the extremes of "It's over, the billionaire backed DNC are Republicans just with nice words, nothing will ever change" and "We did it, it's over for Trump, MAGA and the Republicans, Democrats have it in the bag, everything will be okay without any further action from us". You can be optimistic or skeptical about whether change for the better can happen, but you don't have to be completely nihilist nor complacent.

    Keep going, keep envisioning what progress you want to see for the future, what changes and prosecution you want to see to prevent the resurgence of MAGA, and work towards that.

  • I gotta say law professors have better be putting together a book on this because this administration's representative attorneys are giving out the most hare-brained excuses to justify Trump's narcissism, con-artistry and lawbreaking and pettiness.

  • Stay calm. It can "go away" sometimes if you stop thinking about it. I don't know how serious or "loud" you perceive it to be but you'll be fine, you can listen to music but you have to take extra good care of the hearing you have. Don't listen to music too loudly, I would even suggest set your volume even softer than usual for the next week so you can train yourself to focus on it. Ear plugs at concerts and safety earwear if you are around construction sites or places that produce a lot of loud sounds.

    I would get it checked out with a physician if you suspect that some kind of ear infection, stress, new meds or other kind of illness or complication might be the cause.

    There was a trick to temporarily relieve it where you cup your palms over your ears and tap the back of your head, can work for some people to relieve it a bit. Doing that might help with the stress you're facing. The stress from worrying about it I think will do you a lot more harm long term than any of the buzzing or ringing itself.

  • What Democrats could do is fundraise to change an ICE detention facility into a Trump Hotel, a high security jail to put Trump while we have the probable cause of some conviction, deny him bail like he has countless immigrants and have him investigated and tried for his crimes. As a luxury we can serve sparkling Dilley concentration camp water too.

  • The non-news is that the Trump family or Trump Mobile has lied about anything one can.

    The bad news is that the information on every customer that did order is easily accessible on the open internet.

    The good news is that Trump Org lied about the number of people who ordered it so about 20-60x fewer people are affected than expected.

  • At this point I'm surprised he didn't talk about the Epstein ballroom in his economic affordability speech.

  • raise taxes and/or cut spending, and neither are politically feasible.

    See, Democrats should call for a wealth tariff. Republicans hate taxes but love(?) tariffs apparently.

  • Will a McDonald's employee get it if he dies from a stroke from high cholesterol?

  • The offramp is to put your own party on trial for how heinous you have let it become.

  • As a result, democracies across the planet are now threatened by what might be called fossil fuel fascism – an extremist political movement that breaks laws, spreads lies and threatens violence in an increasingly desperate attempt to maintain markets for oil, gas and coal that would otherwise be replaced by cheaper renewables.

    Finally, a more mainstream news org able to put out an opinion properly calling out the US as fascist, and "fossil fuel fascism" is an apt phrase to describe the deliberate effort by Republicans, billionaires and corporations to hinder progress and kill the planet for their own bottom lines.

    I've become more emboldened to talk to people about how much better renewables have become and will be... clearly it's having an effect against trillion dollar corporate and state backed PR campaigns.

  • I think they will become like IBM, once dominant, not dead today but pretty much irrelevant compared to what they once were.

  • Getting Hacker-News pro-AI boosters to read an AI-slop argument against the long term viability of AI is pretty hilarious to me.

  • Both would be nice, a treatment for those who were exposed to horrors of war and an attempt not to expose any more people to it?

  • Who knew that voting in Peter Thiel's Protegé would bring about a billionaire surveillance society and call for a draft in service of them (and for the rest of the Epstein class, of course).
