It’s a recent revelation - likely at most he’s been suspended while the accusations are investigated.

Here’s hoping him and Mitch McConnell share a cramped room in hell…

Is diet soda and juice a reflection of one’s politics now…?

Yeah most of their comments give me that “am I having a stroke” you get with LLM output. If they’re not a bot I have no idea what they’re saying, at any rate.

It’s more that you phrased it “believed to be the real origin” which presents it like it’s somehow questionable - this was 1986, people who developed ARPANET are just recently retiring, this isn’t a lost or secret history. Also you say you’re not going to do something that sounds conspiracy-theory-y and then go on to do the thing you just said you wouldn’t do.

I know you’re accusing me of taking this too seriously, but I fat-fingered the downvote button and a few minutes later, on a 22 hour old post, you go thru and downvote everything I’ve said? I don’t even know how you’d notice that since it was only for a moment before I reversed the vote, but man if your attitude in a discussion is that malleable that’s concerning.

Edif: Yeah, saw that coming…

Yeah, exactly.

I think you’re dismissing my well founded concern over the eager acceptance of misinformation because you don’t want to see it as a problem to make fun of your enemies - sure, it’s fine to make fun of trump, but even in this thread people are going well beyond just making fun of him and are acting like this is clearly established fact.

A sound is audible, yeah. I can’t believe I’m using this argument but anyone in that room full of people could have farted, and it feels like the people really championing this have never watched another one of his pressers - he ends them abruptly like this all the time, the body language of the people behind him is always weird (they’re big enough freaks that they’re willing to be filmed standing behind trump), there’s really nothing abnormal (for trump) happening here.

If you want to believe trump shit his pants sure, you can do that - but the willingness of people to latch onto this and insist that it’s true (in the face of so many reasons to be skeptical), even presenting red-string-on-board evidence like in that youtube screenshot, should worry you. If they’re willing to accept this with no evidence, what else are they accepting with a similar degree of scrutiny just because it’s something you want to be true?

Those seem like… real stretches. When she “Gestures it’s a code 2” she scratches her nose, and the staff hot mic is extremely indistinct, to the point that even listening for “I really can’t do this again” I can only barely hear it - it could be anything, including an apology. Even the initial “shart” noise is an incredibly minor sound in a room with a whole lot of extremely minor sounds.

I hate when people leap to support this kind of rumor, because it’s just such a waste of time - there’s never going to be any proof, everyone is just putting string on a corkboard and insisting it makes sense. There’s so so many exhaustively well documented things to hold against trump, why in this case do we need to literally make shit up to feel superior to him? Isn’t the part where we’re not stupid corrupt racist genocidal narcissistic homophobic hypocritical monsters enough?

There was a weird noise in a recent press event at the oval office and then reporters were ushered outside - rumors are that the reporters said it smelled like he shit himself, but I haven’t seen any primary source stating that. Seems most likely that this is a rumor and something else was going on, though it would be amusing if it were true.

Hang on, that’s just a bingo dotter…

edit: God I forgot how much I hate what the graffiti community has become. “Oh just etch your tag in so it will be harder to remove” what fucking dipshit toy came up with that? Did impermanence just get forgotten? Where did the obsession about not getting buffed come from?

He didn’t.

The email at the center of the viral post was not written by Bill Gates. It was written by Jeffrey Epstein — to himself.

Both the “From” and “To” fields list Epstein’s personal Gmail address. The message appears to be a draft, written during a period when Epstein’s relationship with Gates had deteriorated. In it, Epstein alleges that Gates asked him to delete messages related to an STD. But the document does not show Gates making that request, nor does it provide independent confirmation that any of the claims are true.

With a metal punch? That seems kinda… organ-burst-y

If you don’t know about automatic metal punches, they’re a great solution to these fuckin’ things. Small enough to be palmed and will punch right through a screen with little effort.

The prosecution?

Chemical analysis takes a while even with a cooperative law enforcement system - unless he fesses up or it was something really obvious I doubt at this point that anyone knows what was in the syringe.

How often do you check the summaries? Real question, I’ve used similar tools and the accuracy to what it’s citing has been hilariously bad. Be cool if there was a tool out there that was bucking the trend.

Wow you’re way more polite with your tags than I am.
