Usually if they don’t announce his termination, he eas reassigned until things blow over.

He probably got a promotion.

radialmonster , in How America fell out of love with ice cream

I stopped buying ice cream when people started licking them in the grocery store

ZephyrXero , in Donald Trump dominates Turning Point USA straw poll

I’ve been telling people it’s gonna Biden vs Trump in 2024 unless he gets put in jail. But I really don’t want to be right

zombuey OP ,

whats annoying is news regarding Trump gets downvoted here even if its center or left leaning which is really bad thats how you get echo chambers. people need to stop downvoting shit just because they don’t like the news.

ZephyrXero ,

100%. I’m as sick of hearing about him as anyone else, but we’ve got to stay informed on what he’s up to unfortunately

@4am@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, agreed. I hate the fucker with a passion but we can’t just turn a blind eye or he’ll be ruling us before we know it. Then we’ll never escape.

Unfortunately, not only are you going to be right but Trump will most likely win… Biden hasn’t done anything meaningful enough to sway center leaning uninformed average Joes to the left

graphite ,

center leaning uninformed average Joes

That’s quite a generalization

InverseParallax ,

This will be controversial but I hope so.

The only reason we got Lincoln was because the know-nothing party imploded into their own insane conspiracy black hole.

We need the GOP to consume themselves so a sane replacement can grow out of the ashes.

I read this story just to laugh at this loser some more. Meh. Not worth it. He’s just a stupid, boring asshole. (I’m not complaining about your decision to post the story, OP. I’m just complaining about the idiot the story is about.)

teft , in Biden's election war chest trails Trump's in size, filings show

On the plus side Biden doesn’t have to split his between his presidential campaign and a legal defense fund.

zombuey OP ,

I’m not positive but from the way they described it in the article I think this money is seperate from what could be spent on legal fees. But with Trump who really knows. Legality of actions never seems to really stop him.

GlitzyArmrest ,
@GlitzyArmrest@lemmy.world avatar

He has already been caught using campaign funds for legal defense in the past IIRC

JustCopyingOthers ,

AIUI the small print during donation allows for skimming a fraction of the donation away from the campaign to an organisation associated with his court cases.

Arotrios , in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. condemned over false claims that COVID-19 was "ethnically targeted"
@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

Keep calling out this deranged motherfucker. He's responsible for countless deaths:

During the pandemic, Kennedy has become a near-ubiquitous source of false information about COVID-19 and vaccines. Earlier this year, Kennedy was named one of the “Disinformation Dozen” by the Center for Countering Digital Hate, which says he and the Children’s Health Defense website are among the top spreaders of false information about vaccines online.

....note that the Children's Heath Defense organization is Kennedy's personal charity, and...

The AP found links to Children’s Health Defense articles all over Facebook. While many were shared as posts on the pages of fellow anti-vaccine activists, many more could be found in the comments sections on pages that people turn to for reliable information, including official government Facebook pages in all 50 states, and in health departments in nearly every state.
“The vaccine was not created to save us all from a pandemic. The pandemic was created to get us to take the vaccine and more,” one person wrote in February below a North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Facebook post.
Then, they linked to a January Children’s Health Defense article that claimed 329 deaths following the COVID-19 shot had been reported to VAERS, a federal vaccine safety surveillance system that has been misused by anti-vaccine activists.
“Every Friday, the true American hero Robert F Kennedy Jr. pulls the data from the VAERS report. Here is the latest up until 1/22,” the commenter wrote. Another user replied that the comment had been reported for dishonesty, but it was still up 10 months later.

...as a result:

Since January, Children’s Health Defense’s COVID-19 vaccine-related posts were shared more frequently on Twitter than links to vaccine content on mainstream sites including CNN, Fox News, NPR and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to Indiana University’s Observatory on Social Media, which tracks COVID-19 vaccine-related content on Twitter. In some weeks, it found, CHD COVID-19 vaccine content was shared more often than that of The New York Times and The Washington Post.

Just out of curiosity, there wouldn't happen to be a Sirhan Sirhan Jr., would there...?

@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

You know what's really weird? RFK supported Sirhan Sirhan's release - went against his entire family to do so too. I think the guy has some dark daddy issues.

ArugulaZ ,

Dude's got more issues than National Geographic. And is about as useful as post-Fox National Geographic.

zombuey OP , in Sony and Microsoft agree Call of Duty stays on PlayStation

Whats hilarious to me is that Microsoft wouldn’t have done this in the first place lol. They have been porting their own traditionally exclusive titles to PC.

AnonTwo , in How America fell out of love with ice cream

While I have no basis for this

I think the reason Ice Cream fell out of favor is because it's a "Normal sugary sweet".

It's easy to eliminate.

Meanwhile, sugar has increased in just about everything else we eat.

cassetti ,

Meanwhile, sugar has increased in just about everything else we eat.

I think you mean FAKE sugar. Holy hell is it everywhere. And it's so damn sweet.

I actually enjoy having a sodastream just so I can still buy the occasional energy drink or soda, and add some extra carbonated water to tone down the sweetness.

You know how much I'd love to see a coca-cola with "low cane sugar" as an option? Just give me cane sugar....... but less of it!!

I really wish instead of switching from real sugar to artificial sweetener, companies would simply use less sugar. But no, artificial sweetener is CHEAPER than real sugar, and makes the item taste sweeter, so it's a win-win, right?

RockyBockySocky ,

It's not fake sugar lol, it exists.

It's added sugar

cassetti ,

Go to a supermarket, look around at how many candies and sodas now use artificial sweetener instead of plain sugar. It's certainly on the increase over the past 20 years if you look back historically at it's usage, and it seems to be increasing annually.

Look at how Pepsi phased out Sierra Mist in favor of the new "Starry" soda which is made with more artificial sweetener. This lets them advertise lower calories on the label, while selling a sweeter beverage people will buy.

I used to love buying malted beverages and energy drinks occasionally because I enjoy trying new flavors. However over the past five+ years, I've noticed a lot more brands sneaking in artificial sweeteners. Look at Mountain Dew - they recently started a line of alcohol-infused beverages which interested me. But go figure they were absolutely terrible - they tasted nothing like classic mountain dew with al that fake sugar. I threw them out lol.

RockyBockySocky ,

Ah I misunderstood, yeah there's artificial sweeteners and alternate sugars, I don't believe they're all inherently bad from what I've seen.
And yeah some people really taste the difference lol

ArugulaZ , in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. condemned over false claims that COVID-19 was "ethnically targeted"

Remember when the Kennedy name was a mark of quality for politicians and not a surgeon general's warning? "Caution: May contain high levels of crazy."

And to think that phony "No Labels" organization actually supports this guy! How about we elect a politician that actually DOES stuff instead of spreading conspiracy theories and demonizing already disenfranchised groups of people? Denying a transgender person health care never put food on my table, just sayin'.

Stovetop ,

Someone’s last name should never be an indicator of quality. I’d like my politics dynasty-free, thank you.

Arotrios , in Extreme heat intensifies across south-west US
@Arotrios@kbin.social avatar

Important news, but they gotta start proofreading their articles better:

The city of Phoenix, which has been experiencing temperatures above 109.4F (43C) for 17 days in a row, was granted some modest reprieve on Sunday by a thick cloud cover, which was expected to keep the temperature around 115F (46.1C).

I'm not seeing how an increase from 109 to 115 degrees is a reprieve.

BrikoX OP ,
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

I think it’s just a weird wording, but not factually wrong. I read that as it would of been higher than 115F but thick cloud cover helped to keep it at that lower temperature.

Kittybeer ,

I live here. 115F with full sun feels worse than 115F with cloud cover.

Koraboros ,

If the expected temperature was 125 then 115 isn’t so bad
