I’m hoping the global reserve becomes the Euro instead of the Yuan, but the EU is particularly good at dragging their feet on things. It’s good that they’re starting to wake up, but I honestly don’t think they’ve fully accepted what’s happening over here, nor are they moving with nearly the level of alacrity that they should.

Tbh I’m a bit surprised that orangeboi hasn’t pardoned him yet

The 8 largest Dow Jones drops in American history so far.

I’m sure next week will be a blast 🫠

Enjoy that, Texas. I have fully stopped caring about people who insist on voting against their best interests.

-3.7% so far.

Oh my god shut the fuck up about it being “unimaginable”. They published the playbook online for anyone to see in 2020. They said they would follow the playbook. They are now following the playbook. They are completing sections of the playbook as written. They will continue to complete sections of the playbook as written, until they are either done executing the playbook, or removed from power somehow. None of this is a surprise. You are not allowed to be surprised by this.

It’s called the American Dream because you’ve got to be asleep to believe it.

I’m still not convinced it wasn’t a fully orchestrated false flag. There’s too much about the incident and it’s aftermath that’s deeply suspicious.

I predict massive brain drain, followed by across the board exit visa requirements and/or national revocation of passports. And then we’ll be the illegal immigrants.

You clearly haven’t read the article. If you do, it’s quite obvious that this is a prototype implementation - essentially a proof-of-concept.

Yes; yes

Contrails are generated by condensation of water vapor in engine exhaust. They’re not caused by wingtip vortices. All powered aircraft (besides electric ones) will generate contrails under the appropriate conditions. Contrail is in fact a contraction of “condensation trail”.

Not to mention: if the content doesn’t sell ad impressions, legacy media isn’t going to give a shit.

For what it’s worth, taking things as prescribed is not an issue for me. This isn’t substance abuse, and I am highly motivated to get off of that shit. I am absolutely unwilling to subject myself to bouts of decreased cognitive capacity any longer than I absolutely need to. I am willing to put up with some significant discomfort to get through it and off of it.

Hah yep - I actually tried cold turkey-ing it about a month ago, which was not awesome, and then tried titrating down by halving my dose, but ended up just going back to the original within about a week and a half. Mental state was very markedly better, but the withdrawal stuff was pretty balls. Going to be working with a new PCP, psych, and medication coordinator to get off that shit and find a better pharmaceutical balance that works for me.

Oh really, wormboi? Tell me what else you think is a mistake. 🙄

This timeline is so fucking stupid

I continue to be unconvinced they even got the right fuckin guy.

That is hilariously damning for Schumer. Granted, I don’t trust a poll these days further than I could throw an overweight pollster, but still: that is FAR outside the margin of error. Schumer fucking torpedoed his own legacy, and (save for the context of the government falling the fuck apart) it’s fucking hilarious. There’s going to be a whole chapter named after that dipshit in EU history textbooks (I don’t think the US will have history textbooks for a while. Or, they won’t be “US” history textbooks), and it’s going to be about the progression of how the DNC was captured by monied interests, and subsequently incrementalized their way into utter irrelevance.

Tomorrow:

Pentagon watchdog fired; investigation department shuttered.

This is the part of the rollercoaster where the ascent finishes and gravity takes over. Of course the long term metrics don’t reflect what’s happening yet.
