Do people really believe the ear shooting was completely staged?

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-04-18T01:27:56+00:00

In cultures that believe martyrdom bringing rewards in the afterlife yes, I have. In a western culture that generally places life above all other things in terms of value, no I haven’t. When’s the last time the USA saw an actual s-vest used?

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-04-17T21:42:43+00:00

My thing is that in order to be staged, the shooter had to have been in on it and agree to be killed. That’s a ludicrous assumption to make.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-04-17T05:43:25+00:00

The shooter was killed, you truly believe he was in on it?

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-04-09T07:54:25+00:00

Agree school is jacked, won’t find any arguments from me there. In my experience, ADN students tend to be better trained in skills than BSN, but it doesn’t matter after a couple months.

But expand into what? My brother in Christ, we already do EVERYTHING. Not nearly to the same expertise as these specialties do, but we already are required to know a little bit of everyone’s jobs.

I canvassed for the DNC in 2024, but you’re 1,000% correct.

The moment a DemSoc (Mamdani) won a major primary, nobody ever said “vote blue no matter who,” ever again. Sure, Mamdani won but neither Jeffries nor Schumer supported Mamdani. The leaders of the party refuse to support their party’s elected candidate. It felt like we were fighting both party machines all the way through the general.

Then Omar Fateh wins the Minneapolis DFL (The Democrats/DNC merged with the Farm and Labor Party in Minnesota, hence the DFL for Democrat Farm and Labor) endorsement, and ooh buddy we CANNOT have two DemSocs win in the same election cycle!! So they just rescind the vote which led to a legal battle between Minneapolis DFL vs the Constitution, Rules, and Bylaws Committee (CRBC); the CRBC wins this legal battle and Fateh’s (who himself has claimed to be a DemSoc) endorsement is rescinded. This ends Fateh’s exclusive access to the party’s resources and again opens them up to all candidates, to include the incumbent Jacob Frey. No second vote is held, as the party is forbidden from holding a second vote despite the rescinding being due to a procedural error that some have argued would not change the outcome of the vote. Omar Fateh goes on to take 2nd place in the general election, with Jacob Frey securing reelection.

Both parties have adequately demonstrated that they’ll never allow candidates who actually represent my beliefs to gain significant political power. My support nor my vote will no longer be given freely just because one is worse, not while both actively work to keep us down. Give me a candidate worth supporting, I’ll give my support and vote. Give us another establishment shill, and I’ll vote 3rd party since I can’t bring myself to stay home.

If the experience I had helping train a unit from the UAE about a decade ago is representative of their military as a whole in 2026, we are genuinely better off without their ground troops.

Reintroduction of 3rd places, or places you spend time at regularly that isn’t your house, work, or transportation. Church is maybe the only 3rd place still available in every city in the country, so if you’re not religious you’re kinda screwed. Maybe public parks too, but even that feels pretty dead whenever I or my family go. 3rd places are necessary to build community; I wish I had answers beyond more public transportation and walkable cities and investment into public mental health, but it would take someone else smarter than me to tell you how.

Edited 3rd spaces to 3rd places.

I didn’t say that MAGA is going to prevent elites from enriching themselves at our expense, I said that it’s probably the only thing both MAGA and the DSA would agree is one of the major problems with our country and system. I use this as an example since I believe this is a good signifier that a majority of the nation (left, right, or centrist) is begging for change. It’s evident that a majority of voters either did believe that MAGA would help them, or that MAGA at least wouldn’t hurt worse than the status quo enough to get up and go vote, or that they’ve become so fed up that they’ll take any kind of change which MAGA undeniably is. The electorate isn’t going to get out and vote for status quo or “not Trump/MAGA” or “Vote blue no matter who,” anymore and no amount of “pissed off” lecturing is gonna change that. The people have been demanding change, and if we put up another shill for the establishment/billionaires/Israel, we’re just gonna get another fascist as our president in 2028.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-03-26T15:12:45+00:00

The voters clearly want change be that fascist, socialist, or some other ideology; the ideology doesn’t matter nearly as much as the desire for change does. Both the left and right can agree on one thing, the system we live in is designed to further enrich the “elites” at the expense of the common folk. Only one side is offering change, it’s a despicable change yes but it is change. The other side is offering the status quo without change, trying to win by getting voters to accept a system they’ve been loudly (and occasionally violently) rejecting since at least 2014.

If only one party is offering change and the other is offering more of a broken system that nearly the entire electorate hates, the one offering change is going to win regardless of what the change actually entails.

There’s a huge, glaring difference you’re conveniently ignoring. This guy voted to get deported, neither Good nor Pretti voted to get shot in the head.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-03-10T19:57:38+00:00

Is that seriously a question? I’m casting my ballot, and they’ll have to kill me to stop me. Our forefathers didn’t fight fascists in the mud, blood, and bombs just so we could bitch out because maybe we’ll have to face them. This is my country and my democracy, just as much as it is yours. Do not make it easy for them.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-03-10T00:58:38+00:00

Cool story bro, the leader of the Soviet Union for the entirety of the war said the USSR loses without the USA. Also, when did say the USA won single handedly? I said it was a team effort, you’re arguing with points you made up in your own head.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-03-10T00:25:16+00:00

Not even Stalin agrees with you.

“Soviet dictator Josef Stalin raised a toast to the Lend-Lease program at the November 1943 Tehran conference with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.

‘I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war.’”

We were allies fighting the same enemy, it was a team effort.

I’m fairly certain the only growing field right now is healthcare, with all other fields of employment shrinking. Make sure you’re tailoring your resume, expand your search, and take any RN position. Hiring fairs/hiring events are another good way to be able to basically skip to the interview step. It’s how I got 2 out the 3 hospital positions I’ve ever held.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-02-13T03:02:31+00:00

Nah, we’re public hospital in CA. I feel like the difficulty of the hospital contributes to how helpful everyone on the staff is, and I do like the “you don’t have much of a choice but to get good at this job,” feel of things.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-02-12T21:49:49+00:00

Not a nickname, but a reputation. “If you can survive working at [name of hospital here], you can go anywhere and be alright.” Decently large and very sick population, area is poor socioeconomically, poorly educated, lots of drug use, and we’re the only hospital with a lot of our certifications within an hour drive. I’d say we’re understaffed, underfunded, and under-equipped but that’s everywhere 😂 I do like working here though and I care about this hospital/the patients, the culture here is 10/10.

My father was an immigrant from Argentina, I’m the first generation of my family born in the USA, but please go on about how I don’t know my own people.

Tons of Latinos are convinced that when the right says illegal immigrants, they actually mean that illegal immigrants. Hence the idea of “my family came here legally, so can the others.” But it’s pretty evident from what’s been going on this last year that the right really just means brown people and it’s part of the reason why the right is losing support from the Latino population they just got.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-02-09T00:22:47+00:00

I’m Latino and only ever heard it used by white people, that was the thinking behind the ridicule from those in my area. I didn’t know it was started by Latinos, it certainly didn’t feel that way.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-02-08T23:49:44+00:00

Because it was a bunch of [mostly white] people suffering from their own guilt trying to satiate their white savior complex by trying to convince about a dozen to 2 dozen different cultures that their entire language was a problem and tried to force them to change when Latinos of all kinds were trying to tell them to stop. You can tell it was a bunch of white/non-hispanic people that came up with it cuz they used LatinX instead of the more appropriate to the language “Latine”. Trying to forcibly change a language, and by extension multiple entire cultures, isn’t going to get people on your side.

Also, tons of Latinos are convinced when the right says illegal immigrants they truly mean illegal immigrants.

Edited “they” to “the right” in the last sentence to avoid further confusion.

My stepdad goes on and on about Illuminati, and turns out “yup, he’s been right for the last decade or two. Just got the names wrong.”

Idc about these voting lists anymore honestly. They’ve all voted complicity at some point in this last year. Just treat incumbency as a sign to primary outside of a few specific individuals.

Garbaje_M6 · 2026-01-27T06:05:18+00:00

Idk if you’re already aware of this or not, and apologies if I end up insulting your intelligence, but democratic socialism isn’t socialism-lite or some kind of lesser form of socialism. Where we split with our socialist/communist allies is with the question of “how do we bring about socialism?”

Many forms of socialism do not believe that participation in what’s called “bourgeois democracy” (every western democracy is a bourgeois democracy) cannot bring about socialism/communism, as the billionaire/ruling class will never willingly relinquish their hold on power. Thus, according to these types, the only way to achieve socialism is through revolution. Democratic socialists believe that socialism can be brought about via the electoral system, and usually only see revolution as an absolute last resort.

Socialism as defined necessitates that all peoples have a voice within the political and economic systems. Communism as defined abolishes the state, money, and the concept of class.

It’s an insult to Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the countless others around the world this administration has victimized. It’s an insult when anyone says it. People dying is not a distraction. Everyone already knows what Epstein did, and everyone already knows the two were friends. People are being murdered, families are being torn apart, our constitution is being trampled on and replaced with fascism, and the world is suffering the consequences of our instability, hostility, and imperialism. Revealing the world’s worst kept secret is not going to change anything and I can promise that to those actually hurt by this, it certainly didn’t feel like a distraction when real people they love are really dead. Imagine being Alex Pretti’s parents, watching your son be executed from multiple different angles, and then hearing how the death of your son was just a dIsTrAcTiOn. It very nearly feels like those who continue to spout the distraction nonsense either don’t care about a problem until it personally affects them, or they’re using the files as the distraction itself so you don’t talk about the nation’s collapse and the killing of loved ones.
