I am well aware, first hand, of what mothers of autistic children think about their autistic children. Fucked me up for decades.

It’s funny how many people that claim to believe that vaccines cause autism out themselves as not truly believing that.

The vast majority of people who parrot the vaccines cause autism bullshit also believe that autistic people should be punished for being autistic, even up to, in RFK Jrs own words: sent to labor camps. It’s not at all logically consistent to believe that autism is caused by an external factor outside of their control but also they need to be brutalized for daring to be autistic. It is, as always, a grift to get money from idiots.

There’s definitely some moms of autism horseshit in there where “I can’t possibly be responsible for my child being autistic, it MUST be something else” is a major driving factor too. Anything to shift the blame away from yourself for failing to take care of your child properly.

The other problem is that the $55 American made one will mysteriously become $94 because doing anything else would be leaving money on the table and therefore unconscionable to American business owners.

Tariffs have a nasty habit of making local goods increase in price accordingly too.

The majority of the Nazis camps were not in Germany, so this is still “going by the book” as it were.

The problem is that not a single one of those voters will reflect on what led to them being tricked by this man and not only learn absolutely nothing, but continue to claim he’s better than anything evil other party could put up.

Excellent to see the media is still allowing this guy to say that we had a bad trade deal while ignoring that the bad trade deal he’s talking about is the one he created and signed during his first term.

I remember when big phones used to be called “phablets” and that was considered a bad thing that only certain power user types would want…

And then the same marketing that hit cars came to phones when companies realized that “bigger than the last model” was an easy way to have a number that they could point to that got bigger to imply this one was somehow better. That and human brains are wired to like bright colors so store displays of PHONE WITH BIG BRIGHT COLOR SCREEN made people want it despite it being objectively less easy to use than a more reasonably sized device.

Money corrupts.

The same Afroman who wrote “Hunter Got High” about Hunter Biden and who said he would love to play at Trump’s rallies after endorsing him?

Good time to remind everyone that you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to ‘em.

Hard disagree here, I literally cannot access a cryptocurrency without power but I can absolutely pay cash to buy some water during a power outage.

Tangible items can have utility in the real world, where cryptocurrencies can never be anything more than numbers on a display.

Gold can be used in electronics, and I get that people are mad that currencies are just something we all mutually agree have value, but generally speaking powerful governments back those up. Cryptocurrency is backed up by people promising it’s totally gonna be a real currency any second now. Please ignore that crypto can wildly fluctuate in value which generally a horrible thing for a currency to do.

Crypto is hated because it’s an MLM for terminally online people.

It gains value because people want it and people want it because it gains value is both a perfect description of cryptocurrency and scams.
