I mean, unless you posted here, maybe in D&D you would be treated like a maniac for noticing the media blackout around Bernie Sanders in 2020. Maybe it wasn’t formal censorship, and unlike 2016 there aren’t emails so it’s mostly conjecture I suppose, but to see something like that and not thing formal tools would not be used against the left? lol for gently caress’s sake look at Corbyn! Gosh do you really want to platform a known anti-semite? All of the censorship tools that apply to Nazis would surely apply to him.

FlapYoJacks posted:My wedding was at a hotel, and we spent $15k~ back in 2012. My boomer friends' (most of who were married at age 30, not 18) kids' are all getting married now bc they themselves are in their 30s, and bc of the pandemic both delaying celebrations & living together thru it. And most of it is nuts compared to the small hippie weddings of their parents! Destination bachelor & bachelorette parties! (  you can get drunk anywhere) Destination weddings! Wedding planners! Makeup & hair trials for the big day! Multiple showers! Presents up to $500 listed on the gift registries!They're even doing this with their own money, bc they're PMC & can afford it, altho it's nice when the 'rents kick something toward it, as they usually do. (Aunt Crabby Boomer Note: Please send written thank-you notes to the people gifting you cash & goods. I know you're a busy professional but it sticks in my craw when I give you $100 out of my social security income & you can't be arsed to acknowledge it.  )

My parents spent their entire working careers assuming that Social Security had a real chance of not being around when they retired (5 years ago now). Somehow it has magically remained able to pay out its full amount the entire time.

This reminds me of something I heard the other day. I have a friend of a friend who works at SpaceX and let it slip that they're dealing with ENORMOUS fraud with their Starlink devices. Apparently they somehow were shipping out thousands of Starlink access points in 2021 and 2022 to fake buyers and are only just starting to address the problem, but some are still going out without payment. Basically, their internal controls had to be totally hosed for this to happen. Very funny stuff.

So I had a fun thought that maybe someone who is not currently skullfucked with COVID, as I am, could verify. It is an open secret that the powers that be were not interested in presenting the full books on COVID deaths. As the pandemic wore on, more and more corners got cut, whether by regulatory bodies changing the definition of "COVID deaths" to exclude "people who died with both COVID and a fig leaf co-morbidity" or by red states who straight up stopped reporting them because it was politically inconvenient for them to exist. The numbers also didn't count the people who died for lack of emergency care due to filled up ICU beds as COVID related, despite COVID being the reason those needs were occupied. So my suspicion is, if we take the average for annual deaths in this country from the years before the pandemic, and compare it to the annual deaths during the pandemic minus the number ascribed to COVID, we ought to see a notable jump that is yet otherwise unaccounted for, which would be especially interesting considering we probably saw significantly fewer things like car accident deaths because there were fewer people on the road during lockdown.
