We should just start building guillotines and placing them in town squares. Just as, like, a message.
I got banned from the r-place for saying something like this.
Carry on.
Some of the lemmy.world moderators come down hard on "calling for violence". It's kind of an eye roller
Job market is tough right now. Gotta advertise those carpentry skills!
We have never not needed these.
We just forgot that they are required.
I'm sure the French could give us some pointers though.
He needs to open a history textbook book.
He isn't ignorant. He doesn't care. He's vindictively robbing all of us blind. They don't think any of this will be beneficial to any of us. We are not even a consideration.
None of these greedy fucks are doing any of this because they're incompetent. They're doing it for $$$ and control, and they'll get it, because we're all still typing paragraphs into a social media site instead of murdering all of them.

Let them eat less cake!
Geez, talk about out of touch with the average Joe.
No man, Yesterday I only didn't eat 3 cakes and I was able to run a 12 mile drive to work... In my car! The other weekend I didn't eat a wedding cake and that cured my diabetes that In didn't even have!
I don't think people understand how fucked people who don't fit the societal mold of how their body or mind should function are here in the US, things are about to get very grim in the US, much grimmer than they were. The center of this society has decided what they don't like about Trump and fascism are primarily its harsh tone as he and other rightwing nutjobs murder us. The expression of how little I am worth to the society around me is not lost on me, it is only lost on the centrists who tone police me for being negative about my future.
What societies like mine do as they collapse is tend to see diversity as a threat to the survival of the society, including cognitive diversity. This is a phenomena old as time and centrists have NEVER resisted it once. As someone with severe ADHD it is crystal clear to me a brickwall is heading at me and I know especially with my executive dysfunction there is no way I am dodging it.
I have never been able to hide, if you have a brain like me you knew from a young age it was dangerous to let people think you did weird things because they felt normal to you, so you became the class clown and learned to love it even even as deep down you remember that lesson in your bones you can never forgot. If I let people see how chaotic my brain really is, as in what I turned into a joke was truly me just reacting to my own impulsivenes with clever impulsiveness, they will insist on hurting me, "I have to make this goofy or I will be hurt" is the way I survived.
The thing is, there are no class clowns left in a fascist society, so in a way this is me saying goodbye. I will still be present here for a long time yet, but the true me is dying right now. I am not a creature that can hide, people burst out laughing when I do and then an ache in my soul reminds me of the lesson I can never forget.
"Let them not eat cake!"
How has that piece of shit not lost his title? Stop calling that imposter a Doctor.
Have Dr Phil and Dr Oz ever had a fake doctor-off? It can be judged by Judge Judy and Bill Nye.
Time out, why the hate for Bill Nye? Did I miss something or is this just a joke on "people who are less qualified than their titles lead you to believe"? If so, then carry on.
On first read it sounds more like a list of shitty charlatans, of which I wouldn't really apply to Bill even if he's not as qualified as he would imply.
I would say, pleasantly, that Bill Nye suffers from one of the classic blunders of academia. Just because you're smart about one specific niche subject in one specific niche field doesn't mean you are smart about every subject in every field. Most scientists are quite honestly just as knowledgeable as the rest of us in any field that they didn't academically study. That sounds like common sense, but once you have a PhD on your name you kind of forget it.
Bill Nye is an expert mechanical engineer, and a middling to decent planetologist. Any subject beyond that and he's just as good as you or me even though he speaks with an authoritative voice.
I felt like he started in the tradition of Mr. Wizard, who himself was a teacher who didn't know the intricacies of every science, but knew how to put together a fantastic and accurate demonstration.
But I think Nye is doing talk shows and shit now, which Mr. Wizard, I don't think, would have tried to sell himself the same way. He really sold education.

Phil McGraw is downright, possibly a toxic man to be taking any advice from. There have been longstanding allegations that drugs (maybe alcohol too) have been given to guest on his talk show before taping, while those on medications allegedly have had them withheld before taping. That is on top of the typical toxic workplace behavior that has been reported with similar type of environments.

"Dr." Oz: "Let them stop eating cake."

"If they can't find healthcare let them not eat cake".
He will be noted in history books to come. What a legacy.
Another notch for "The Age of Irony" in American History. "Let them eat less cake" sounds like a good opener too.
Funnily enough, just had an exchange with someone here about doctors needing to always be empathetic towards their patients so they can't say "get fucked, fascists" and such.
Dr. Oz is a still practicing (to maintain his license) cardiovascular surgeon.
he needs to upkeep the image that he can sell snakesoil to the plebs. its the same thing "llmd" for the fake disease "chronic lyme" sells pseduoscience to patients, they are even more dangerous oz.
I think he'd get along great with my old dentist. The guy gave me a bad crown, then when I complained about it, it was "eat less chocolate" and "you just need to floss more."
Let them eat something else
Well, there was a trend among anti-vaxxers to eat dirt and drink piss. So I guess that's covered!
Everyone should arbitrarily start boycotting Cheesecake Factory based on this. Eat less cake? OK. Let businesses start complaining. Every service cut should be met with additional consumer strikes.
Oh, and what should we do with the macroparticles of lead that are so prevalent in our bodies?
