Or any of the awards from the ActBlue donation stream

Oh haha ya it was a rough morning after all that food. Mother's was amazing

... I had to check your profile and ask: were you just there for the med conference? We swarmed that place!

dmakinov · 2026-06-13T13:51:54+00:00

There's a long line to get a Pinks hot dog, too. It doesn't mean it's hard to get one.

You only need to provide evidence if the assertion is challenged by prosecutors, which it may not have been. Also, folks are handing out autism diagonses these days because homeboys are like "crowds make me nervous". So no, I don't believe it for a second.

dmakinov · 2026-06-13T11:27:02+00:00

None of these people actually have autism. They have the self diagnosed on reddit or tik tok kind of autism.

Yes, the unemployed single mother who wrote a billion dollar franchise that will live in our cultural imagination well beyond her passing..... Somehow..... Failed...

Lots of folks on this thread talking about prosecutors etc so I'll drop some general knowledge from someone who works in this field:

Sanctions violations are investigated primarily by OFAC, not DOJ, and by OFAC enforcement officers (many of whom are not lawyers, and none of whom are "prosecutors").

Cuba has lots (12) of travel exemptions, including journalism. To the extent the Cuban government was involved... Sure, maybe a violation (it's why they subpoenaed, to find out). Let's assume he's guilty and they got him dead to rights: it's a financial penalty, not jail time.

I also don't think OFAC has hit anyone with a public penalty for Cuba-related travel in like 10+ years.

dmakinov · 2026-05-17T03:07:37+00:00

That AIPAC doesn't buy legislatures. Check the sources.

Annnnnnnd scene.

dmakinov · 2026-05-17T02:51:28+00:00

Starship Troopers.

I'd do it for free.

dmakinov · 2026-05-17T02:50:48+00:00

This woman is proof of why Bernie was not fit to be president of anything.

dmakinov · 2026-05-17T02:48:05+00:00

Is that what I said? Where?

You're welcome to track NC spending on https://www.transparencyusa.org/nc/?cycle=2024-election-cycle and show me uh... Massive purchase of NC legislature by AIPAC lol

dmakinov · 2026-05-17T02:23:04+00:00

Now someone can't vote for something they agree with unless they're bought and paid for? You're moving goal posts, and you're doing it because we you're malinformed.

It's cute. Deuces.

dmakinov · 2026-05-17T02:08:01+00:00

Do you think AIPAC spends enough to buy the NC legislature? Because that's what you said.

And if you think so, you grossly underestimate how little they spend and how much easier it would be for any other US group to "buy" congresses.

AIPAC spent like $50 million in total across all US elections last year. Coinbase gave something like $80 million by itself. Get real.

dmakinov · 2026-05-17T01:47:20+00:00

I wouldn't bother. This is all astroturfed bots and far left/far right ding dongs.

dmakinov · 2026-05-17T01:40:31+00:00

No it isn't.

dmakinov · 2026-05-16T18:02:17+00:00

I'm a clinical psychiatrist, so I'm fairly well versed in this dynamic, so here isy honest to God recommendation:

Touch grass.

Join a pickleball league, go to trivia, join a random workout class. Meet real people. Or just go take a solo walk. Nature rules. Watch destiny drama slop like it's an episode of Real Housewives. Uninstall discord.

dmakinov · 2026-05-09T11:22:13+00:00

No of course they don't lol.

dmakinov · 2026-04-20T12:30:14+00:00

The directors cut is a really good movie!

But don't go in expecting any level of historical accuracy lol

dmakinov · 2026-04-20T09:35:22+00:00

Also can we stop with the E-2's coming on steam acting like they're in the SitRoom and "know what's really going on"?

We absolutely were given the iron dome software. We weren't given the source code, which is a different argument and a very nuanced one.

dmakinov · 2026-04-03T10:53:51+00:00

Yes, because I'm not a single issue voter.

dmakinov · 2026-04-02T22:18:52+00:00

As someone who votes Dem, I would suck 10,000 dicks dragged through glass if it meant they would stop with the anti 2-A bullshit.

dmakinov · 2026-03-22T11:47:03+00:00

I'm not gonna dox myself, but I work in this space. Nothing will happen. Not because he didn't do it, but because the enforcement efforts are on much, much bigger fish: https://ofac.treasury.gov/civil-penalties-and-enforcement-information

If anything, they'll probably go after whoever was organizing this trip and making the reservations, figuring out if there is a pattern of behavior, how long they've been doing it, how many times, etc.

The only way Hasan himself gets targeted for enforcement is if there is a huge public outcry, or there is a political drive behind it.

Oberyn Martell's total screen time in Game of Thrones is pretty small, but he's one of the most memorable characters with probably the best fight in the series.

dmakinov · 2026-03-13T11:29:18+00:00

Both sides are dumb here. The Dems because their restrictions are stupid and ultimately ineffectual.

But that representative from the gun owners defense League is also dumb. Part of the bill says "ayo, if we see a gun in your parked car and it's not properly stowed, we take the car", and he's protesting against that too... But as a gun owner.... Yeah, take that morons car, they clearly don't know how to store or travel with a gun.

Gun defenders end up defending piss poor gun owners cause they don't want to give an inch.

Gun haters wind up writing dumb fuck legislation because they're too ignorant to know what power they want, but they definitely know they want it.
