I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the fbi probably needs a higher standard of evidence than “trust me bro” to get a warrant on a freshly out of office former president. Good thing this guy claims to have incriminating recordings of trump and oh wait he conveniently can’t produce them, definitely not suspicious. I’m going to assume ‘I was in the sinaloa cartel but they let me leave because I was tight with Epstein’ guy isn’t throwing up even more nutjob red flags.

Ok so we agree “some random guy made an unsubstantiated tip to the fbi about a (then) former president” is not news or noteworthy.

So depressing to see this get this many upvotes on lemmy. I want to go back to that brief period where I mistakenly believed that the userbase of lemmy was a bit more intelligent and skeptical than reddit’s. Nope, still just voting on gut reactions to headlines on whether they fit confirmation bias or not.

‘sure it’s just an unsubstantiated fbi tip that doesn’t make any sense if you actually read it. but trump bad so it must be true’ A random guy making a salacious claim about a former president without any evidence isn’t news just because you want to believe it.

+bonus round ‘oh you’re skeptical of an unsubstantiated salacious claim somebody made about a former president? do you think trump good or something?’

I’m joining the war on autism, on the- wait hold on there’s a war? The devil is involved you say? Well which side is he on

‘try it (nobody will do anything about it and nothing will happen to you)’ oh ok. Not normally how you would use that phrase confrontationally.

She had no intention of shooting, she said.

jesus christ I hope her lawyer approved this statement.

Oh so not even you, thats where someone else will draw the line.

I like the implication that everything else was acceptable but if he threatens a statue that’s when you’ll do something,

Oh yeah, that’s why a republican wins texas by 30% in a midterm. lol

Honestly I think this is great. Some tacky bloodsport arena is a refreshingly honest reflection of the true national character of this country.

Much more fitting than the weird civil religion stuff going on in the rest of the national mall. This country does not deserve dignity until it stops being a global force for evil.

Because obviously it’s impossible to take a photo with an underexposed foreground object and overexposed background.

Because the image is gold and a shade of blue that you can get from white if your white balance is bad enough.

Insolife is good. The cheaper ones on amazon are useless. I think modding a water flosser probably has potential as a budget option, some people freak out at the idea because it sounds super intense but if you ever spray one on your wrist they aren’t nearly as strong as it feels on your gums.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how this relates to anything I said.

How does someone elses unrelated mental gymnastics justify the mental gymnastics of a shoot and cry pervert.

‘I pretend to feel sad about doing this thing that I spent lots of time, money, and effort to do’ is perhaps even more unhinged than the people who are honest about enjoying killing for fun.

*I could see it for people who are exclusively hunting CWD deer.

The only people here conflating economic value with human worth are the people who are outraged. An easily automated employee isn’t of high value to a company, like no shit.

I just wish the musk circlejerk stayed in /c/enough_musk_spam. I’m not obsessed with him so I don’t care about his texas drainage permits any more than anyone else’s county drainage permits.

The only reason to care about this ‘story’ is if you enjoy getting mad at musk. It is so absurdly inconsequential compared to all the stuff happening in the world that is actually newsworthy. I don’t care if people want to obsess over him but it should be in a community for it. This isn’t tech news.

exactly the type of missing the point that I was talking about *

And of course nuance is dead and if you’re not jerking off in the circlejerk you must support musk and everything he has ever done.

*Ironic because I missed/ignored theirs.

‘if only those stupid voters supported our genocide gas would still be under $3’

I’m glad the sociopaths have to suffer too.

Good, hope it’s lonely. Die alone, bigot.
