Ah.
She’s using RIAA ‘piracy costs us more than the GDP of the world’ style logic/math to determine that ~75% of America would have OD’d on fentanyl if not for the claimed fentanyl interception amounts.
Like by this logic, I’ve personally saved thousands, even tens of thousands of lives by isolating when I had Covid.
No, that would be like uh… Ms. Hawk Tuah.
Greta is what you call an activist: Someone who actually believes things and advocates for change based on her beliefs.
When I was in school, this kind of behavior was referred to as a politically involved/informed, active citizen, the kind of people without which a democratic society cannot survive or function.
Wow, I am rarely corrected that things are even worse from an economic standpoint than I asses they are… I am so very used to being called a hysterical paranoid doomsday fetishist.
9 trillion rolling over in 2025 huh?
Hwoahboy, we are fucking screwed.
… Good luck.
Good summary, only one correction:
It will lead to an even worse Great Depression.
Great Depression 2.0 is already unavoidable in the US, even if Japan doesn’t dump US Bonds.
Japan (and others who would soon follow) dumping US Bonds would just pour cement over the grave we’ve already dug ourselves into.
He described the relief of seeing both people on board the boat pop open the hatch. “Oh my gosh, it’s just a miracle,” Ticknor said.
Ticknor being the event organizer.

The pilots suffered multiple fractures, including a broken knee.
I’d call a broken knee alone a serious injury…
Had their injuries been more serious, they may have been unable to escape the sinking boat.
Had the boat landed in a different orientation, or done a different, completely undpredictable, uncontrolled aerial manuever, such that it impacted the water with more speed, the boat could have broken apart on landing or become structurally comprised much more seriously, and thus the pilots would be sinking much more rapidly, likely with more serious injuries.
Though this boat and its safety cage performed admirably in terms of structural stability… similar crashes to this have maimed and killed a good number of folks in the history of hydroplane/powerboat events.
And that is what I would describe as the only kind of miracle I believe can actually happen.
Roughly on par with ‘bailed out of an airplane, crashed through some trees, landed in a snowbank, only suffered a few fractures and actually lived.’
Something like that happened a few times in WW2.
Yeah, I was gonna say, did the pilot live?
Good number of hydroplane/powerboat deaths/maimings over the years…
Because confirmation bias is a superior substitute to basic research, how else would one inform themselves about the world?

What I’m suggesting is I am asking ChatGPT to validate my idea that all Filipinos have the same beliefs, wherever they are, almost as if their worldviews are entirely determined by their racial/ethnic origin.
Please stop and maybe read the things your write outloud before you post them…
… and you’d be wrong.
It does resemble a terrorist attack…
But if you watched the press conference with the chief of police (or the equivalent title)…
They have the suspect in custody, there were no specific threats to the event before hand, the suspect has a long history of mental illness, and the suspect has had many previous run ins with the police, ‘suspect is well known to the department’… gives me the impression this is a person who is having one kind of mental breakdown or another … every month or other week.
At one point a reporter asked if it was terrorism and the CoP basically says… that would require a political or ideological motivation.
The CoP … you could tell he was doing his best to divulge information he could without divulging information he couldn’t. He paused and tried to rephrase things a few times, openly struggled with … seemingly genuinely being unclear about what he was legally allowed to say.
If the person truly is seriously mentally ill, there may be additional laws in place protecting some extra level of their privacy, at least before charges are actually brought.
Put all that together, and it seems like this person has been just… very very seriously mentally ill for a long time, as in, too mentally ill to be capable of forming a coherent or describable ideology.
Or, at the very least, that seems to me to be what the police are saying.
… My ex was SA’d by a staff member during one fairly long term stay.
Managed to get that guy fired, but not … you know, prosecuted.
The state of mental health is fucked because mental health, at its core, foundationally is built off of ‘how do we pathologize and treat people who have trouble being or cannot actually be any kind of an ideal employee.’
No one fixes this, or homelessness, because … no one cares, these people have no money or power, they are viewed as drains on society, instead of potentially productive members of society, or even fundamentally as just… human beings with consciousness/souls.
It is a structural issue with literally all of society, and the severely mentally ill, and the homeless (which often coincide, what a shocker) are literally the untouchables class.
We like to think we are more modern, more enlightened, more decent… no, we are not.
We are just better at technological propoganda and treats and distractions.
… Maybe there is a world where … now that the veil of this has been shattered by the rise of fascist MAGAs… maybe, down the line, this will lead to some kind of equivalent social/philosophical reexamination of how… we do everything, as there was after WW2 and the Holocaust… maybe that could be our future.
So… yeah.
I just wanna say… they’re not ‘imaginary’ tormentors, in the sense of someone playing make believe, who can just … not do that.
They cannot turn off the voices in their heads.
They cannot control the fact that they have vivid visual, audio, tactile, olfactory etc hallucinations that are indistinguishable from actual reality, that their memories of past events can basically just have things that did not actually happen… formed or inserted as a ‘core memory’, or things that did actually happen… wildly warped or just removed.
So… what do you do, show them a video of what happened, with them in it?
Nope, thats fake, thats not them, that is their doppleganger, that is their evil clone.
Nobody really knows how to ‘fix’ this, or if its even possible.
Antipsychotics generally just make them more docile and less prone to aggressive outbursts, but they also have massive sideeffects… they often do not actually stop the actual ‘unreal’ experiences.
It is nowhere near as simple as ‘stay on your meds and all the hallucinations go away.’
The result is that… they cannot trust anything… because quite often, the psychiatrists and other medical people they see will basically manipulate and trick them into beleiving the meds … are a cure… insinuating or even directly stating that their meds will solve the problem.
There is also a lot of other kinds of fraud and abuse going on with many people who treat schizophrenics because… who’s going to believe them?
…
I had an ex who … developed into severe schizophrenia.
Shit sucks man.
Not well. As RedditRefugee notes…
They do indeed usually incorperate you into their personalized, uber conspirstorial worldview.
If you have ever heard the phrase ‘Targeted Individual’ or ‘Gangstalking/Gangstalkers’… these are phrases commonly used by schizophrenics in online communities… who, having broadly similar underlying thought processes and lived experiences, will and do gather on the internet and discuss their … paranoid/persecutory delusions… and they do seem to have largely agreed on those phrases to describe their individualized, specific experiences.
I believe at one point, reddit had a fairly large r/TargetedIndividuals or r/TIs subreddit, something like that… not sure if it still exists or is active.
In the case of Kanye… fell astoundingly far down the antisemitic conspiracy rabbit hole.
Before he went turbo-mega-ultra Hitler fanbo1 on Alex Jones… he was saying a lot of shit about how the entire entertainment industry was run by a cabal of Jews who secretly fucked over himself and other black artists in particular.
… He completely lost his mind in this process and has arguably been having the world’s longest sustained, continuous, psychotic break (I think he’s been far more obviously just unhinged bonkers for longer than Elon?).
He legitimately hated and hates Jews so much that the actual Hitler stuff came afterward.
How does he rationalize that Hitler would absolutely have killed every Black or African descended person he could, that he switched from being inspired by American rascism to calling the US a ‘mongrelized’ people, because of American society’s multiracial makeup, interracial marriage etc?
Easy: He’s completely insane and legitimately should be in a room with padded walls.
Logic? Reason?
404 error.
…
Have you ever tried to convince an unmedicated, manic schizophrenic that… the things they are saying just fundamentally do not make sense, at a basic grammatical level, that their mind invents things that did not happen?
Yeah, doesn’t go so well.
Is that some kind of speed run record?
For people not doing a ban evasion, who had a previous account?
I mourn for the leopards.
Their digestive systems were not designed to digest LiON batteries =(
Damn. I did not know you actually could litterbox train them, that’s amazing.
I’ve had ex partners with guinea pigs and ferrets… but never rabbits.
I’ll have to bookmark the wabbitwiki, thank you!
Adorable! =D
Ciel is a more creative name than Bunnicula, my first thought, lol.
So… within the last few months… she promoted her own cryptoshitcoin… and then it got rugpulled… and then people got mad at Ms. Tuah… and then Ms. Tuah said pretty much it was all her manager’s idea, and that she got screwed as well…???
Some kind of idiocy like that.
I would actually believe she is so stupid that she herself was conned into promoting a shitcoin and legitimately had no idea … what they actually do, how they work.
Which is better than being intentionally evil, but not by very much, as she cost her followers a lot of money.
… Something like that is what Ms. Tuah is up to these days, rofl.
