Transgender.... Animal Experiments? What the fuck are you even talking about?

Edit: These are just experiments showing if changes in hormones effect asthma and reactions to the HIV Vaccine, this is a clear case of "I'm counting on you to get mad and not read the article"

Trump got mad that people tried to fact check his claim that Biden spent millions on turning the mice trans. Then the Whitehouse officially released this at a rebuttal of the fact checks.

They're not turning mice 'trans'; they're turning science into a circus for political clowns.

This is going to seem unrelated, but I wish my fellow countrymen didn't have a virtually unlimited appetite for finding out.

Every day I'm just wondering if all this is even reality. I think this is The Bad Place 🤔

[–] InputZero 8 points 2 hours ago

Muhahahahahahaha, aw man! I can't believe that you figured it out! You really suck ERROR: Earth.exe has crashed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

well, we created a system of social cohesion and coordination so strongly based on obedience to authority and staying in your lane that the authority doesn't actually have to make sense or serve us for us to obey.

in fact, they don't even need to acknowledge material reality. they can live completely, entirely, in their delusional ketamine fueled fantasy worlds, and we will still be killed for disobedience, no matter how mad and irrational their commands get. such a shame there's no alternative.

Can someone check my math? I’m estimating Trumps first term tax cuts saved the top 1% at least $100b durning his first term. Trump is complaining about less than $9m being spent here. $9m is 0.009% of $100b. Did I get that all right?

The experiment wasn't even for transgender animals. It was for transgenic which is an entirely different thing.

It is closer to $2.5. trillion.

But you aren’t a conservative. If you ever argued with one about this it will boil down to: taxes are theft, the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.

[–] Bytemeister 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

taxes are theft, ~~the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.~~ and it's much easier to steal from poor and/or uneducated people.

Fixed it for you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I'm not a conservative. Just in case it wasn't clear. I believe taxes are a bandaid, a stop gap that let's the rich get away with too much, when we should instead seize the means of wealth generation.

Only Robots should be taxed

Sorry if there was any confusion. I meant for my post to be clarifying and entertaining.

I didn't not intend to accuse you of support or dissent of anything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No problem, communication online can sometimes be confusing.

[–] Bytemeister 3 points 2 hours ago

True, and very sad when you consider that there is ample time and space to clarify, apologize, edit, or just walk away in the case of a miscommunication. We weren't on the same page, and a little chat took care of that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

but of course; the poor are not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

The only right they understand is might. Like a pinata it only trickles down after beating it with a stick.

Researchers tested drug cross interactions. On mice. The most common subjects in lab tests.

Take a grain of truth. Twist it. It is the core idea behind every fascist propaganda machine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

there's not even a grain of truth here; they thought he word 'transgenic' meant remotely the same thing as 'transgender'. or thought nobody would check.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Also, take the opportunity to also attack freedom of the press, dehumanize trans people, and delegitimize scientific research and healthcare.

Apparently the Times of India has entered the chat....

[–] [email protected] 75 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Can we take the time to acknowledge that the phrase “fake news losers at cnn” was used in an official executive white house release? This is on par with the release they put out a couple weeks ago that spelled “executive” as ecexutive” 🥴🤡 America is cooked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I saw that, and knew it was going to be a wild ride.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I knew it was going to be a wild ride 9 years ago the first time the democrats moved mountains to sabotage sanders at every turn in an effort to prevent any administration that would resemble FDR from gaining power effectively handing trump the win which was their preference to moving even a millimeter to the left on policy. I mean instead of listening to the working class this time they instead decided to move further right and court conservatives with endorsements from the cheng family, george bush and others. Neo Liberalism has pushed class dictatorship so far down our throats and ultimately led to this full on fascist decline we are in. It is obvious to anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex that the system will not allow us to remedy it through the mechanisms of the system and the only option we now have is a revolution and class warfare which has been waged against us relentlessly for the last 5-6 decades.
