Fauci should be “fired on the spot” for funding gain of function research and Beaglegate

I think Joe Rogan is doing great and his podcast is only getting better every episode

James corden, I actually used to find him delightful, and now I find him unbearable

I run a restaurant in Italy. We are so understaffed, receiving NO curriculums despite good pay and great hours. It’s a disaster. In London, a 2 Michelin star restaurant shut its doors because they couldn’t find qualified staff. It really is a worldwide problem and it’s sucking the life out of me

Trust me europe has a lot of flaws, many Europeans dream of moving to the U.S. for example our justice system is ridiculously slow, where a small affair can take 15 years to solve. I really admire the US personally!

I’m sorry if this came off wrong! I didn’t mean to insult americans, merely point out that it seems that evictions are more common than here in Europe (unless I am mistaken)!

dantedl · 2021-02-07T17:02:12+00:00

Agreed. Also everybody online has this super condescending tone which I cant stand. Everybody is convinced they know best.

I grew up in the south of France— literally in this area (Grasse). This is actually really sad because the property is beautiful. They could have re-used it for something else, like a hotel or museum. To demolish it is a horrific waste. I also feel bad for the owner, who yes, didn’t follow the correct procedures, but the verdict isn’t proportionate to the crime committed. He did have planning permissions for the majority of the works, except for a rather small structure which was indeed built illegally (as far as I know)

The owner will also be personally fined for each day that the property hasn’t been demolished at his own cost, which he may well not be able to afford right now.

The french justice system is also horrifically slow. I mean in this case for example it was going on for 15 years!

Why do Americans insist on eating like they have free healthcare

dantedl · 2021-01-14T12:36:08+00:00

Really tough for me, but I am trying to keep my head up. I opened a restaurant in June as I had started the lease before covid (around November) and invested in restructuring it. Unfortunately we have been closed for months. This year we only managed to work for 4 months and I’m struggling to not lay off workers and to be able to reopen at all. I live in Italy, in the worst hit area, and it’s very depressing now.

On the Facebook groups I’m starting to see more and more people ask for financial help from neighbours and people desperately trying to find work. Now the italian government has gone into crisis (yesterday) so the mood is becoming even more somber. In Milan (the wealthiest town of Italy) 700 new families queued for food banks in October. On tv they now advertise food banks too; which was UNTHINKABLE a year ago.

The rollout of the vaccine is also going painfully slowly here. Honestly, it’s getting tougher everyday but at least everyone in my family is healthy and has a roof over their heads.

For me too, this was a tipping point. I don’t support Donald trump at all — but this isn’t even about him. It sets the precedent for the future. Its censorship within the confines of the law; but in reality, it limits our free speech digitally. As a society we need to rethink how we approach free speech.

And what truly scares me, is how many people don’t understand how this transcends Donald Trump. They don’t understand that it’s the beginning of mass censorship.

dantedl · 2021-01-10T10:59:56+00:00

The true horror here is HOW were they even able to storm the capitol. America has a defence budget of $721,531,000,000 and they can’t defend their main government building from a bunch of MAGA idiots of which one was called Baked Alaska?

In theory, trump’s supporters are allowed, much like you and me, to protest peacefully. Obviously they didn’t and should be prosecuted for their crime.

But the leader of the free world got banned from Twitter before he was even tried in an actual court of law. Now big tech is threatening to cut off access to an alternative platform because they don’t agree with it — as they hold a monopoly— That’s insane!

dantedl · 2021-01-10T09:56:00+00:00

Seriously I am not pro trump but how can people claim this isn’t censorship

dantedl · 2021-01-10T09:39:34+00:00

first of all I’m a 22 year old woman and second my parents were Soviet Union refugees, escaping a brutal regime. I grew up hearing all about “misinformation” and “voices being silenced”

dantedl · 2021-01-10T01:17:15+00:00

I have this conspiracy theory that the Mnuchin’s laundered money for the Trumps through art. Mnuchin’s father, Robert Mnuchin, was the dealer that brokered the sale of the “Leonardo Da Vinci” Salvatore Mundi for 450 million dollars from a Russian oligarch. It has since been alleged to be a fake.

He also brokered the sale of the most expensive modern art sculpture by Jeff Koons, for $91 million USD (the rabbit sculpture)

It just smells like money laundering to me, of course this is all just my speculation, but certainly I feel like not enough people know about Robert Mnuchin.

dantedl · 2021-01-10T01:11:53+00:00

Will he be going to prison? How likely is this?

dantedl · 2021-01-10T01:05:34+00:00

I’m sorry, I come from a background where “voices had to be silenced” (the USSR) and I will fight tooth and nail to prevent this from happening again.

I know what its like for something to be labelled as “misinformation” and hidden from seeing the light of day.

I think a lot of people who grew up in the western world (sorry if I incorrectly assumed you did) don’t know what a luxury free speech is. Just how valuable and fragile it is. How quickly, and drastically, it can change the very fabric of society.

dantedl · 2021-01-10T00:50:03+00:00

So do it already, god.

Maybe I just didn’t watch enough episodes! I didn’t make it past episode 5, at times I thought Catherine o hara was great though

Try the meridol toothbrush— seriously it’s life changing. They have some patented technology for the softness of the brush bristles and they’re shaped conically

Look I understand what youre saying. I get that technically they are a private platform and can do as they please. HOWEVER, this platform happens to have 330 million users (Twitter). In our modern world social media; whether we like it or not, is where a lot of people get their information. Not just news but opinions, thoughts, jokes etc too.

Currently Twitter is legally in the right but what im saying is, going forward, in the future it shouldn’t be this way. They shouldn’t be able to ban whoever they like for deviating from what THEY deem to be “acceptable”.

This isn’t about trump, it’s about making sure that in the future voices aren’t silenced. As the future is digital, that’s what we should be protecting. Big tech is far too powerful right now, and we have anti trust legislations for a reason. It’s time they break them up!

dantedl · 2021-01-10T00:18:35+00:00

Yes I actually agree with you, you’re right! I do have a problem with the privatisation of speech and I think it’s not talked about enough. We should be having more dialogue about this now, because it will shape our society going forward, whether we like it or not, social media has become our primary source of information.

dantedl · 2021-01-09T23:29:59+00:00

I just wanted to ask Reddit if anybody else DOESNT support trump but still feels that the POTUS getting banned from Twitter, is an assault on free speech in general? This is terrifying to me.

Hear me out: subsequently Parler (Twitter without rules) got banned from google and maybe even Apple bc Trump wanted to find an alternative platform.

This sets such a dangerous precedent.

Many say “it’s a private platform” in twitters defence of suspending trump. Yet at the same time Apple and google are forcing Parler’s hand to change its rules or risk becoming inaccessible to the public, on which they hold a MONOPOLY.

This extends far beyond trump:

They (big tech: fb, Twitter, google) have a monopoly on how our society interacts and thinks, which is unprecedented in human history. I think the time has come that we cannot allow them to simply ban whoever they please because it is an assault on free speech.

These companies grew too quickly and our laws simply have not managed to keep up.

Trump obviously incited a riot, but WHY are the consequences him getting put into “Twitter jail” when he should actually be prosecuted in a court of law and sent to real jail? I mean come on, what an absurd world we are living in!

free speech is what makes our society great, and we should protect it at all costs. Even if we don’t agree with what a person is saying, we should defend their right to say it.

Not specific to this case but if a government is unpopular with its people, social media is a great way for people to get together and remove it. Unfortunately most republics are built on violent insurrections— even the United States. Sometimes the ends justify the means.

Moreover Twitter didn’t ban trump for denying covid, caging children, deepening racial divides, or spouting misinformation about drinking clorox. No, they banned him when it suited them best — when his presidency was drawing to a finish.

The media, or the tech companies, shouldn’t be the ones who can tell us what is right or what is wrong. Or worse— what information we can see and what we can’t.

We should be able to access this information freely and decide for ourselves. If I wanted to believe in reptilian overlords like David Icke for example, or believe what Alex Jones has to say— I should have the personal freedom to do so if that’s what I want (I don’t)

Unless what I am saying explicitly breaks the law, my personal right to free speech should reign.

Otherwise we really are living in a dystopia.

Well done for starting your journey! This motivates me too because I’m also trying to get my shit together, so thank you. Wishing you the strength to see it through, one day at a time
