When do the TV advertisements for pharmaceuticals stop? Pretty sure during his confirmation he explained how easy it would be and how it would be one of the 100 things he was going to do FIRST THING when taking office.

The thumbnail totally looks like the back of someone with long hairs head. I assumed it was a picture of someone taking a picture of a whale. :)

I was able to go into the mobile app of my bank and unenroll my email (only thing enrolled). Hopefully that did it. When I go to “Zelle” now it asks me to sign up.

Ya, when I read the title, I thought you could just stop at Intelligence.

“US Hits Pause on Intelligence”. full stop

Without doing any research, I’d be hard pressed to believe they didn’t support trump all the way.

Guess it might be time to disable zelle on my bank. I’ve used it I think twice with people I know but I guess we’re left to take our protection into our own hands by just not being willing to use a flawed system with not enough safeguards.

Remove the references to trump and this has been Bernie’s message for a long time.

Those that listen to him got it in plenty of time.

The problem is, the mentally blind people that voted for this administration weren’t ever going to hear that message, much less comprehend it.

Who said there were no “perks” being a minority in the United States <sigh>

No I was angry but wanted a clean online space that I was kinda stuck on due to remote family…

Edit: I am more angry now so you’re not technically wrong <sigh>

Since 2015 ish I started unfollowing both left and right side friends because of political talk from people on my friends list on Facebook. I really have pruned it to be only people that post stuff they’re doing. Same for people that only forward stuff. (News or whatever).

I broke down and posted about yesterday on my feed with a link to a YouTube video of the press conference. Expressing how utterly disgusted I was.

It’s a minor thing but it should make it very clear how I feel and the line we crossed with that display.

Most embarrassed I’ve been to call myself an american. And I’m a veteran.

Absolutely disgusting.

Ya Elon is getting his money just like the GOP now. He’s not worried about what you think

I mean, unless they actively go in and take those things off the schedule, my “mychart” tells me what I’m due for. Or, as someone that can read the calendar, I can figure out that each fall if I plan to get a flu shot, that’s the time to do it.

The unfortunate world we live in

That’s not at all what I said. The meat Industry already exists and is scaled profitable, even if it’s terrible for our planet.

I said to get any scale of another version, it’s going to have to be as equally profitable or corporations are not going to go for it.

Sustainable, scalable and profitable.

I am 100% in that category. I have some aspirations to be in a lifestyle where I catch a lot of my own fish but zero desire to move off animal protein to a vegetarian lifestyle.

I don’t disagree with your general sentiment, but what I see as responses here are often empty responses… Just the obvious “we should stop being terrible arbiters of our planet”. Like no shit, but it’s hard and MOST humans are not gonna ever be vegan/vegetarian unless forced.

My point is, you try to… I try to also, but in the dead of winter there’s no a local fruit and veggies. I’m also not vegan/vegetarian, I eat meat. Fish, and chicken primarily but I don’t raise either, so I have to rely on someone else to do that for me.

We do actually get probably half our eggs from someone at my wife’s work, and some. fruits and vegetables at the farmers market down the street in the summer. But they’re closed now and have been most of winter.

It’s harder than just saying “just stop” was my point. I’d love to be part of the solution where I can but there’s zero chance of me not eating meat if it’s available.

Curious about your diet, and where you get your food? Also curious how that scales to 350 million people (to feed the US)?

I’m not remotely implying what we’re doing, as a society, is right or sustainable but it’s super easy to just say “Just stop doing bad things”.

Solutions, at scale are quite complicated and nuanced. Private companies that grow our food at scale now will only participate if it’s profitable.

Also, if you’re not sustainably growing your own food, are you not just like the rest of us (Part of the problem)? I know I don’t have the land, or time to grow my own food.

Sticking our head in the sand (current administration) is definitely not gonna turn out well, so I’m guessing there’s some fun times ahead! <sigh>

Make elon (Tesla) accountable for accidents/deaths, and I bet they’ll either disable it or make it work (which I think is a long way off).
