Exactly, even if he killed himself, that doesn’t rule out the possibility that he was being pressured/forced to. Those powerful monsters he hung out with and surrounded himself with wouldn’t want a lose end like him sitting around.

Oh my god. These dumb asses forget that people need money in the first place in order to give it to them.

Yeah, fair enough. I am just not very informed on the oil industry, so I didn’t want to sound like I did in case I was talking out my ass. Good to know I was correct in my assumption.

My theory, it’s not the government that has the oil, it’s the oil companies. And because this is capitalism, the oil companies will charge as much as the can. So even if it is made here, the drastically reduced supply globally means the companies can change more, and so they will.

On top of what other people has said, it prevents trans people from moving freely in this personal vehicle dependent society. It make fleeing harder. It makes proving your identity harder. They are setting trans people up to be taken and deported.

If what he says is true, why lie and try to hide it? Sure, having your affairs brought out into the open is uncomfortable, but with it being a part of the Trump- Epstein files, the best thing to do would be to be up front and honest about why his name is coming up. Trying to hide it at first and then coming out with this sounds like a PR move. There is probably something he is trying to hide by sharing a partial truth.

Dirt works I guess, but I would prefer he be under 6ft of human excrement. It’s the least of what her deserves.

Then they would just claim the kid was influenced my “critical race theory” and “white guilt” and use it to justify segregating other places and stamping out and left leaning ideas.

Never underestimate the ability for evil people to spin anything to their advantage.

Oh. I see. We are not at war. We are only bombing them, stealing their oil, and kidnapping their leader. Those are totally just friendly things normal countries do to each other.

No need to apologize. In fact, at this point, please stay away. Once tourism completely dries up, even more people will see how awful this situation is and begin resisting. All those rich cities and towns will realize we need to be a place people want to come to, and to do that, we need to be less awful in so many ways. The status quo is still not broken enough for too many people.

Oh! So this is why the Dems are throwing trans people under the bus, to attract the clergy. We have to run some better people. The answer to Christian fascism, is not more Christianity.

As a trans person, I can’t go to the bathroom aligning with my gender in some states, and going to the other bathroom can get my assaulted or worse. Trump made getting a passport with my correct gender marker tricky, if not impossible. Trans minors can’t receive any healthcare related to being trans. They have already been talking about repealing the right for same sex marriage. just the other day some right wing lunatic was talking about detaining all trans people and “studying” us, but you that just means torture and killing us. (That last one was some nobody, but it still somehow made news and was posted on Lemmy.)

It’s happening right in front of you, open you eyes.

I don’t need to talk with my friends and family about their political beliefs, we do that regularly. I know where my friends and family stand. Some of them are not as far left as I am, but everyone I regularly choose to spend time with hates what’s happening now.

Yeah, those casings did have deny, defend, dispose on them. But those are (similar to) tactics used by insurance companies to avoid paying for medical care like they should. The writing in that case is about the target, not the alleged shooter.

I’m sorry what? Fuck off with this bullshit. Kirk and his far right friends are stripping my, and all other queer people’s right, hunting down anyone that looks Mexican or speaks Spanish and deporting them, or worse. There are fucking concentration camps being built. There absolutely is a left and right.

Yeah, I would have preferred he learn the error of his ways and change his mind to become a decent person. but either way, he can no longer spread his hate, and I’m not complaining about that.

I’m not buying that until I hear it from a trust worthy source. What idiot would write on the fucking bullet casing who they are/what group they represent, unless they are trying to miss lead.

Good, spread them thin.

It was a while ago that I noticed the decline in quality, they may have course corrected since then. But there was a point in time where videos had a very sudden and noticable drop in quality. I forget which video it was, but I wasn’t the only one that noticed it.

Maybe I should give the channel another chance. There was a noticeable shift in quality on the channel, but maybe they course corrected since then.

Oh, so that is why Veritasium went to shit. That’s such a shame. It was a great channel that I was excited about when a new video would drop. Then low quality videos started coming out and I don’t watch them anymore. Haven’t unsubscribe yet though, maybe I should get around to that.

Honestly, this is probably one of the better outcomes. Hopefully ibuprofen works well enough for pregnant people. He could have agreed with “vaccines cause autism” thing to fuel his attacks on vaccines. Or worse, he could have noticed that genetics play a big part and started a eugenics program.
