-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
I am not religious, but how in the ever-loving jesus-christing tap-dancing fuck do any right-wing Christians not feel that this is Revelations type shit?? Mark of the beast much? Trump already fits the antichrist label, too.
It would be funny but for the fact that these senile con men are ostensibly in charge of running a country...
Also, I suppose asking American Christians to read their own books is asking a lot.
American Christians are christians as a lifestyle brand. Anything the Bible actually says is second to what the Bible can be used to justify. If you have a pastor who quotes the Bible to justify hating LGBT people or doing domestic violence to a partner, or dropping bombs on other christians who happen to be born in another country, then you can be definition not be in the wrong, as your actions are sanctioned by God.
Isn't this the same clown car contingent that thought the Covid vaccine was a cover to inject a secret microchip into everyone so Bill Gates could track us?
as always
Oh yeah, track my vitals, you'll see I'm as healthy as a house cat and stay at home just as much as one
Pay no attention to the person leaving the house, the tracker shows I am clearly in there
We are very concerned that you have spent the last 18 hours motionless by a sunny window and you appear to have a fever that is consistently over 101 degrees.
I'm Puerto Rican! 
I asked around the department if that is a legitimate thing and they just sort of stared at me and blinked, so carry on.
vaccines
no
fluoride in water
no
5g mobile towers
no
5g and wifi enabled overheating device, tracking your movement, heart rate, blood oxygen while consistently reporting your location and recording all surrounding noise and conversations, implanted directly onto your wrist
omg yes
fucking cookers, i swear to god 
yes, i know, "pointing out the hypocrisy" does nothing but i just cannot handle how fucking dumb these people are
yes, i know, "pointing out the hypocrisy" does nothing but i just cannot handle how fucking dumb these people are
Fr I know it's pointless but I like to do it anyway to vent
Venting and getting a sympathetic word and seeing other people vent and agreeing with them is the closest thing we have to a consensus reality in the face of these know-nothing "health" advocates I swear to christ
what are you referring to as a cooker?
it's australian slang for right-wing antivax/sovcit/jewish space laser/seed oil/5G conspiracy theorists who remain extremely outwardly vocal when their community is tiny. overseas, i guess it's like Q true believers who dug in deep when COVID hit
possibly derived from "being cooked in the head" or earlier references to homecooking meth. apparently coined by australian poster Tom Tanuki in its current context
Health insurance salivating as they look at car insurance companies charging higher rates for people that let monitoring devices track their driving and wondering how they can get in on the action.
My shitty health insurance company keeps pestering me to use their wearable. Hell naw 
"Your chemo therapy has unfortunately been declined as we have records you haven't been getting your steps in."
My initial reaction was 'that's not half bad (particularly for those already at risk)' but then I realised that your health insurance system will abuse this.
Yeah on its face that's not the worst idea but insurance companies are absolutely just looking for avenues where they can justify declining claims because a gadget recorded you eat too much sodium.
The fuck is a "wearable"? A wearable what?
Like a smart watch that tracks your vitals but even the ones that just record your movement/steps aren't very accurate.
We need to end corpo-speak.
"Pantaloons" 
^hehehe^
A wire up the keister 😳
You want to make Americans healthier and you could either take on the agricultural industrial complex, surburbia, and the lack of third places, or you could just buy more devices and juice the stocks of some electronics manufacturer. I know what I'd pick
Pretty sure the easiest way to make people healthier is universal health care.
What do you mean by third places?
Spaces outside of home and work/school you can socialize or even just exist, without the expectation you will purchase anything.
Libraries, parks, playgrounds, places like this. Where you can go and sit on a bench without being arrested for loitering.
A pizza place with attached jungle gym for kids, a bar or beer garden, restaurant, mall, would all be examples of a place you can socialize but are expected and/or required to spend money.
Literally the CHUD conspiracy about vaccines having tracking chips
No can do on giving you back your medicaid, best I can do is a smartwatch.
I didn't know Bad Dragon was one of his sponsors. Totally NSFW Horni
Oh wow they even have one for crackers
"sporting a wearable" sounds like a euphemism
RFK advertising smart watches makes me actively not want to own one
Mark of the Beast.
Mark of the Mr. Beast.
that certainly would be a way to get Zoomers to buy-in
Government issued tracking devices woudl be cool in a government that wasn't evil.
Zero chance it doesn't get abused at some point by some body lol. Barring star trek future, no thanks
I think even in star trek they don't just track people. All those episodes where someone sneaks off or gets kidnapped wouldn't work if their badge was an always-on tracking device
Yeah it's consensual tracking, they turn it on or off. It's a beacon
nah
if anybody needs to get low-jacked with a device that generates constant biometric data for society to study and develop a strategy to stop, it's this guy and his hitchhiker.
Jeez us fookin ...
The "G" in CGM stands for glucose and ONLY measures blood sugar, you brainwormed idiot!
Someone please 
this fucking fool!
watch them make every american buy a smartwatch out of their own pocket from whichever company paid trump the most money
CGM are a godsend, it sucks they're fairly expensive. I was paying $85 a month for two meters. That's no insurance. Finger pricking is still the cheapest option. Maybe use federal authority to bring down prices? Nah, let's back a single company and pump them full of subsidies so venture capital can snatch them up and turn their product to shit.
It’s not much of a difference, but libre 3 has a thing on their site where if your insurance doesn’t cover it, they’ll give you a coupon that drops the price to $75 for 2 sensors. My wife and I did that for a while until I got different insurance that covers it, though it’s still $75/2 with insurance, I just don’t have to keep getting the coupon.
But the data will say you’re full of shit lol
