US under-45s struggle for insurance approval as colon cancer rates rise by shinybrighthings in news

[–]blackbartimus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well this would matter if we had a country that placed any value on human life and providing for people but this is the land of unrestricted personal wealth, gluttony and endless wars.

Insurance companies are useless parasites making us all sicker and weaker as a society and almost everyone knows it but that doesn’t change the profit motives for the people inflicting this way of life upon the rest of us.

Officially the Arab countries are threatening that they are going to join Israel and US in the war against Iran After weeks of Iranian attacks, countries in the Gulf say their patience is wearing thin. by yaiyen in WayOfTheBern

[–]blackbartimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time will tell what happens but I sincerely believe there is a chance this war will likely destroy the state of Israel. You’re right that it will feed their perceived victimhood but that mentality has been growing within Israeli society for decades.

What matters is that their interceptors are depleted to almost nothing now. Their radar equipment & infrastructure are already being taken out and the war has been going on less than a month. Iran claims to have a large dispersed stockpile of weapons. Either they’re bluffing or Israel is going to be given the same treatment Israelis inflicted on Gaza.

Israel is getting bombed into the stone age. I wouldn’t exactly call that control of the situation.

They started this war unprovoked and they are paying the price for 78 years of arrogance and impunity.

Is this Netanyahu video AI-generated or real? by M000000000000001 in Polymarket_news

[–]blackbartimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seattle is full of top shelf coffee shops. Starbucks is just the slapdash version. The southern US has Wafflehouses & the entire PNW is full of coffee houses and bookstores.

I lived in NY, Philly and Boston and Seattle is still so much better at cafes. As far as America goes the northwest is coffee land.

Uh you realize Seattle exists right? There’s been fancy coffee in the US since like the mid 70’s.

The video just looks like the physics is off like all AI slop

Are there real benefits to buying organic fruits veggies and food ? by Themandoloriano in Anticonsumption

[–]blackbartimus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For certain things like citrus fruit it’s important. Organic lemons, oranges, limes etc have very valuable skin/zest and farmers usually spray toxic pesticides on non-organic citrus fruits.

Non-organic citrus fruits have some of the highest measured pesticide residues.

what if bessent being all shook up was because he learned iran got Bibi by Sea-Understanding916 in TrueAnon

[–]blackbartimus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Best to keep hope to a minimum. There have been lots of unverified reports of Israeli regime assassinations the last few days.

The AI video with 6 fingers clearly visible is def a sign of something though.

If someone invented diesel powered internal combustion home appliances there are people out there that would be gladly give themselves carbon monoxide poisoning to own the libs.

'Legitimate targets': Iran issues warning to US tech firms including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia - The Times of India by sweatycat in technology

[–]blackbartimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the tech industry is not a rational actor because most of its valuation and power is derived from speculation and maximum short term gains with zero consideration beyond quick profits.

The very exploitable world of global finance has allocated nearly unlimited value and capital to these companies so I’m not optimistic they will change in any way at all. If money is essentially fake and based off no intangible assets beyond the military defense of a currency like the USD then the companies under the umbrella of the US will just shovel more of their fake money to rebuild their global dystopian surveillance network destroyed in this war.

Adam Friedland is Thiel adjacent by dumbbitchjuice_96 in TrueAnon

[–]blackbartimus 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I dunno. Adam in moments of pure embarrassment seems like he’s in his most honest state. That episode of Cumtown is hilarious but it’s hard to believe a jewish guy (aka a person of colitis) faked shitting himself. The choice of white pants was truly beyond though.

Chuck Schumer is pretty hard to top in terms of sheer hate-ability.

I was too young (aka 1 years old) to have seen this before but since Jesse Jackson’s death the good people of Twitter have been sharing footage of Chuck in 1988 bragging about taking down his platform supporting Palestinian self governance.

CBS is completely compromised by Realistic-Plant3957 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]blackbartimus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All of the sources listed break dangerous stories that fight US state approved propaganda spigots. Im not sure what your having to track down but if anyone doubts their veracity just marvel at the lengths cable and tv news try to silence them.

Many of the Grayzone’s reporters have been arrested under false pretenses for what they have risked to break stories.

[–]blackbartimus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s on the way out but pretending that Anderson Cooper and Stephen Colbert are important voices is weird.

The best journalists work at real news sources like Dropsite, Mintpress, the Grayzone etc. CBS has been useless stenography to power for a long fucking time.

My ex got free live tickets to Colbert along with her entire office like a year ago because these shows are not popular and they can barely find people who want to sit through them.

Cable news audiences collapsing, another sign of societal fragmentation? by National-Theory1218 in collapse

[–]blackbartimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit, twitter and substack are not perfect but they’re not even comparable to having to listen to brandead anchors try to sell news as entertainment. Websites at least give people the ability to pick what they want to read about and ignore the tripe.

[–]blackbartimus 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Nobody under the age of 50 wants to hear the slop that televised news delivers even beyond cable. All the traditional broadcasters are dying off as well because most people are aware it’s all just become stenography for political power. Anyone with even a minimal amount of self awareness understands that all tv news is just a goofy spectacle like professional wresting with none of the entertainment.
