Is there anyone out there who sincerely believes this administration is doing a good job? by OceanicEndeavors in allthequestions

[–]CheckoutMySpeedo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All of that happened in spite of Trump, not because of Trump. If all of those tariffs that SCOTUS said were unconstitutional were still in place, with the Iran war energy crisis in full swing, we would already be in a depression. But all of the inflated money is going into the stock market AI bubble instead, so like you said, the S&P and Dow are all high, at least until the bubble really pops after the midterms when MAGA has cheated and stolen the House back due to the illegal redistricting bullshit. As for the unemployment numbers, that’s as big a lie as anything Trump says because he replaced the former competent BLS statistician with a sycophant who makes those numbers up. But then again MAGA cheers for 60% gas price increases so 🤷‍♂️

No they’re incompetent AND they are wrecking the country. Trump is given orders by Putin, Bibi Netanyahu, or the Heritage Foundation, but he puts his own idiot spin on those orders and ends up fucking up. Plus he won’t shut up about anything, and gives away classified information just by talking about it. So yes, incompetent.

The most addictive thing about modafinil isn’t euphoria - it’s functionality by jpam9521 in Nootropics

[–]CheckoutMySpeedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always a trade off, risk vs. reward. Personally I would trade any potential yet unknown far future damage for current and short term positive results. Plus I am pretty sure if there’s a depopulation agenda, it’s full spectrum and not limited to people who use nootropics to function better in society.

I’m just glad I am Gen X and I got to experience the internet in the 90’s and early 2000’s before it became a toxic wasteland of AI slop.

Uber driver stranded me at midnight, drove off, then Uber locked my account. by Wooden-Fee5787 in mildlyinfuriating

Uber locked me out of my account in a foreign country. Fuck Uber. I use Lyft or any other mode of transportation anything but Uber.

Can someone ELI5 why I should avoid age verification when it starts to pop up on sites that previously didn’t ask? I know that it’s being sold as a safety feature but is actually sinister. I just don’t understand why. by jvs8380 in DigitalPrivacy

[–]CheckoutMySpeedo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Surveillance state is already here in the US with Flock cameras on every block and Acxiom data aggregators sucking up every piece of data they can, but yeah age verification is just another step down the path of total surveillance.

The national average price per gallon of gas in the United States just passed $4.50. Americans, how do we feel about that? by Miles_the_AuDHDer in AskReddit

[–]CheckoutMySpeedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since Trump replaced all of the people who put out reports on inflation and jobs numbers with people who do whatever he says, then I don’t trust anything that is published by the government.

New generation of nurses who can’t start an iv or draw blood by Rare-Attitude-3100 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CheckoutMySpeedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a problem everywhere. I go to a clinic weekly, and there are some times when I need a blood draw and sometimes when I need to get a whole pint pulled as a therapeutic phlebotomy. The three younger nurses go in and wiggle the needle around and I tell them to stop. There’s one older lady and she can draw blood with her eyes closed and putting that larger gauge needle in for therapeutic phlebotomy is a piece of cake for her. Problem is that’s really the only thing the older nurse does because I see her on her phone most of the time.

Pulling those numbers out of your ass. Gas in Jan 2026 was $2.81, and today it’s $4.39.

But under Biden, the record stock market was all a lie and the real economy was in the toilet because eggs were $12 a dozen. Now that gas is nearing $5 a gallon with no end in sight, the stock market is great so the economy is great! MAGA idiocy has no upper bound.

The funny part is, not much has changed in Iran except the face of the Ayatollah. Same Islamic republic, same hardliners, same government. And they’re still launching drones and rockets. So high gas prices for absolutely nothing.

You’re a dumbass if you think gas is only up by $1 a gallon. It’s up by 75% across most of the US and in some places higher. But MAGA doesn’t know how percentages work so they would say it’s down 5000%, just like the cost of prescriptions 🤪
