That’s not coping.

Coping is how you deal with something, ignoring it isn’t dealing with it.

I’m just completely over people not paying attention and acting like that’s a valid excuse

The time to start paying attention was long ago, but at least start now. And lots of people still aren’t paying attention

He’s been saying it for a while tho

Headline chops off the important bit:

As a Musk biographer, I told you all he was going mad—the cause being a combination of depression, stress, med misuse and illicit use of illegal drugs.

But here’s an article from two months ago about it

https://www.msn.com/en-in/health/mindandbody/is-elon-musk-struggling-with-his-mental-health/ar-BB1rgzL7

Your article is about a post the guy made complaining that people didn’t listen two months ago, even tho it was covered in the news…

You’re who he’s complaining about if you just now heard it.

A man claimed a dog shot him…

Because there’s no law that says a dog can’t shoot anybody but if it was the woman she’d likely face some sort of charges.

That is not true.

It’s not all sunshine and rainbows anywhere in the fed right now, but there’s always ways to fight and this is the biggest

I’m still optimistic the lifers at HHS who stood firm and didn’t resign are just slowly teaching Lil Bobby what a vaccine is:

While RFK Jr. recently shifted his stance to concede that vaccinations are actually pretty useful, he has still stopped short of urging skeptics to go and get it. And in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that aired Tuesday night, he appeared to still favor natural immunity through exposure to the virus.

"It used to be, when I were a kid, that everybody got measles. And the measles gave you lifetime protection against measles infection,” he said, then taking a swipe at the vaccine. “The vaccine doesn’t do that. The vaccine is effective for some people for life, but for many people it wanes.”

Like, he is damn close to understanding a measles vaccine is measles, just a hindered version that won’t be able to reproduce and cause harm. And real close to understanding the need for booster shots.

He’s still not there, and it seems to be taking weeks for what can be covered in depth in 15 minutes.

But eventually I hope they’ll win him over.

And if we’d have made a big deal about the president doing advertisements for cars back then, Trump might not have done the more crass version.

It’s not just about that.

Biden did things he shouldn’t, to the point of even going around Congress to provide arms to a country that would reasonably be used in a genocide in direct violation of US and international law, but no Dems in office would hold him accountable because the letter by their name matches

Now trump is gonna do a whole lot worse, and Republicans won’t hold him accountable because the letter by their name matches…

Do you not see how this is unsustainable and indicative of a larger issue?

I fully understand everyone is disagreeing with me. I don’t care about down votes.

But does no one honestly understand that this is why 1/3 of the country didn’t vote and Trump is currently president?

We can’t fix shit if we don’t learn the lesson. And I’m tired of class punishment because some of the kids won’t learn the lesson.

Both terrible options, but one can be voted away and the other can’t.

How can you vote out “democratic corporate sponsored genocide” if that leaves you with “authoritarian fascism”?

How can you call one group “democratic” after a sham of a primary where NH has their delegates yanked because the state party wouldn’t violate NH state law at the behest of Biden and the DNC?

Especially when you factor in NH had went for the progressive in prior primaries?

The situation has been a lot worse than you’re presenting it.

and you’re point has a distant smell of whataboutism and bothsideism.

If that’s what was going on I’d say it’s fine trump is doing it because Biden did it.

What I’m saying is that it’s fucked trump is doing it, and it’s fucked Biden did it and people didn’t give a shit and it was routed as a positive by everyone at the time including Faux News.

I want both sides held to the same higher standard.

If someone has a problem with that, they’re the actual problem. Because enabling that behavior in primaries is how Dems lose in the general.

I legitimately did not see this and many others probably did not either

What is difficult to understand here?

You may have not seen it.

But that doesn’t mean most people didn’t.

That point is bigger than any one news story.

But I don’t think anything I say will get you to understand that at this point.

And it’s fucking depressing

Guys, we all know the truth is that we get certain news promoted more in our feeds

Are people legitimately only getting their news from social media?

Like, you never just go to a news website?

That wasn’t needed with this because it was everywhere and unavoidable at the time, but only getting your news from social media (even tho this was all over social media) is a much bigger issue…

What?

He did it on TV, there was a shit ton of articles about it…

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=biden+f150

It was a 100% a big deal, just because he decided to drive it against Secret Service’s wishes… You don’t have to be “terminally online” to have heard about this, at the time it was everywhere…

Like, every late night show, every news/politics media, every bit of media touching the automotive or even investing world talked about it.

If you can’t remember 4 years ago, just say you can’t remember it. Don’t pull a trump and claim no one ever knew about it because you just got reminded it happened.

I’m so fucking tired of this shit being normalized.

Just say you forgot, don’t try to rewrite history as a knee jerk reaction without thinking. It’s not a big deal, no one remembers everything.

But don’t act like if you forget something, no one else every knew it

In a democracy the president would be sent home and banned for life from any government function.

I had a problem when Biden was shilling for Ford too…

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-floors-electric-ford-truck-test-drive-pushes/story?id=77764009

More so when we “loaned” Ford 9.2 billion to build battery factories in SK only for them to do massive layoffs of American workers later.

It’s good people are upset at how intertwined capitalism and politics are, but shit isn’t going to get better when we only criticize it when we don’t like the letter by the politician’s name.

When neoliberals are just less corrupt Republicans, it makes it to easy for people to say both are bad even though ones clearly worse.

But I just cant take anyone seriously who says that stuff is unrelated to Ford’s support of Dems. They don’t give a fuck about policy or helping people. They’re scratching each other’s back just like trump and Elmo do.

Just way less obvious and we excuse a lot of it because “at least they’re not Republicans”.

In all likelihood it was cleared for him to drive and he knew he was supposed to drive.

He just chickened out when it came time to do it.

Seriously, watch the video if you haven’t, it’s easy to tell.

I know that there was slavery and segregation in America based on exactly this in the past but this is over

It is not…

There’s still a lot of racial bias in housing, even by name before the landlord/realtor meets the potential client.

its just not done with the explicit approval of the government, however that is unfortunately likely to change soon.

Even after the civil rights movement, all the Republicans and a lot of the Dems opposed integration. And we’re still paying for it.

It’s worth watching the video…

After he gets in you can still kind of hear what they’re saying.

trump has to ask what the two pedals do…

Elmo asked him if he wanted to drive, and Trump had to ask a handler if they wanted him to drive and they said he could. Elmo tried to reassure him that it was “just like a golf cart” but trump panicked and got out pretty quickly.

He was desperate for someone to tell him not to, but everyone was fine with it.

Then he made some quip about Biden not even being able to get in it, and us much as I dislike Biden, at least a couple of years ago he was still capable of driving:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-floors-electric-ford-truck-test-drive-pushes/story?id=77764009

It’s probably been 50 years since trump drove anything besides a golf cart.

Good looking out

What is it with people posting screenshots of article headlines and no link?

I’ve been seeing it a lot, and no one else questions it

Valid treatments are abused all the time…

Ket is abused all the time.

Musk isn’t taking it therapeuticly, he’s taking it recreationally to dissociate from a reality where he’s a giant asshole everyone hates and makes fun.

Two completely different uses

There’s an oldish English Irish rap song about what Ketamine is like …

And man, does it explain Musk
