I guess I'm glad Twitch took a side on that?

After Bezos went full nazi on the Washington Post, I have expected the worst of everything Amazon.

He can afford meds, sadly we can't force him to take them.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 45 minutes ago

Here I am missing my meds and really wishing I could get my brain chemistry back to "normal" but I can't afford it.

I moved across the country and had more difficulty than expected finding work, so my savings are tapped and my health insurance has not kicked in yet.

I'm not saying anyone should be forced to take meds that could alter their autonomy in any way, that being said, I know I do better and feel better when I have my meds. In life, at work, in personal relationships. I want to take them.

It doesn't seem fair... hooray for capitalism, huh?

damn too bad he couldn't make it long enough to debate hasan

I can't believe he lasted that long. This guy needs help.

The sad thing is, I think you are correct, without even joking. I think he literally needs some kind of help.

I try to keep an open mind always. So a while back he did a Lex Friedman interview, and I listened to it. For anyone not familiar, Lex does long form interviews of an hour or more and gets deep into various subjects.

I got about halfway through before concluding that there is something seriously wrong with West. Maybe he is just stupid (not as an insult, I mean like he lacks any sort of intelligence) or maybe he has brain damage or maybe he is just delusional. But you listen to the guy talk for more than 5 minutes at a time and you wonder what the hell is wrong with him.

For example, he spent a lot of time blaming the 'Jewish media' for a lot of America's problems. Lex repeatedly asked him for specifics, challenged him to call out specific members or leaders of said media for specific actions, challenged him to use his platform to identify bad actors. He had few if any specifics and saw no particular benefit in any specific call outs, in his world it's all a conspiracy and the whole 'Jewish media' and everyone part of it is all one and the same.

Furthermore, he spent a lot of time explaining why we should stop teaching history in schools. Said we should focus on science and technology classes and not waste time reliving the past. Lex tried hard to challenge that, even brought up specific non-partisan examples from history that presented useful lessons for today. It had no effect, West continued to double down on the position that teaching kids history is a waste of time and resources.

At this point I had wasted about half an hour listening to the guy, and decided he was simply not worth my time to listen any further, because he obviously fundamentally misunderstood how the world works, how human nature works, and had little or no facts or evidence to back up his positions. I concluded that any further ideas from West can probably be safely dismissed without much consideration, because his thought process shows no evidence of rational or scientific thought.

Honestly the best analogy I can think of is like going to a mental institution and listening to a crazy person. They will talk your head off for an hour about how aliens infected their brain or whatever, and the only thing you will get from it is an hour older.

His interview on Letterman’s Netflix show was it for me. He kept whipping up these meaningless word salads that may sound profound to some but it just came across as mania to me

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 20 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure he will do well on Kick, though.

[–] midtsveen@lemmy.wtf 3 points 4 hours ago

LMAO, this made me laugh! 😆

Is that his house now? That is the most divorced-dad looking empty-room i've ever seen, like he just finished moving his shit out of his ex-wife's house and hasn't had time to get new furniture of his own

That'd be a great card "barren waste land" drain the hp of the opponent Dads monsters by 1 every turn

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He is Sieg Heiling so casually I am not sure if that is even worse than making it a grandiose highlight.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Ya, he was mimicking the people he was talking about. But just .... why?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 41 points 11 hours ago

So some commercial American social media still ban Nazis? How long will they be able to do that?

[–] sontopo@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

How fucking hard is it to not give a Nazi salute?
