@Memor-X I don't hate myself enough to actually view it, but sounds about right.
His continued comments about the election being stolen is just absurd. It's clear he believes it, and just acts as even further proof that the capitol riots are exactly what he wanted. If it wasn't he'd have a moment of self reflection and stop spreading his nonsense.
Of course self reflection is impossible for him.
 
@Wipqozn it's also funny that Facebook is currently reviewing if he should still be banned\
 
@Memor-X I wouldn't call it funny. more like proof facebook is garbage.
They'll probably revoke it
 
the question they should ask which will also be same answer to "should he be allowed back on" is "did he learn his lesson"
you don't have to scroll far in his blog to find that the answer is No
 
@Memor-X You're assuming Facebook actually cares though, and they don't. They've allowed white supremacy to fester on their site for years. They don't care.
They probably feel the heat has died down enough that they can revoke the suspension to bring back all that delicious ad revenue
 
yeh good points

Asian woman in New York City hit with hammer by stranger who demanded she take her mask off abc7.com/asian-woman-walking-in-nyc-hit-with-hammer-by-stranger/…
> The female suspect struck the Asian woman in the head with the hammer, and the victim collapsed and dropped the bottle of wine she was carrying.
> Theresa said at first she tried to defend herself, but then when she touched her head, she realized there was a lot of blood.
> Police said the victim did not know her assailant, and the suspect told her to take off her mask before striking her with the hammer, cutting her on the side of her head.
> Police report a 400% increase in hate crimes against Asians compared to this time last year.
 
@Wipqozn If it's only a cut she was very fortunate. she could easily have gotten a skull fracture. But this should be treated as assault with a deadly weapon, or even attempted homicide
> “The Board found that, in maintaining an unfounded narrative of electoral fraud and persistent calls to action, Mr. Trump created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible. At the time of Mr. Trump’s posts, there was a clear, immediate risk of harm and his words of support for those involved in the riots legitimized their violent actions,” the panel said in its decision.
> “However, it was not appropriate for Facebook to impose an ‘indefinite’ suspension.”

The board instructed Facebook to complete a review of whether to restore Trump’s account within six months.
So, his suspension stays, but it might be lifted within 6 months
 
@Nzall Of course it's appropriate
His actions resulted in his storming the capitol.
I hate this new age of conservatives which are actual literal nazis, and complain about people not respecting "both sides" when their side is "I'm a nazi." Exactly where this nonsense stems from.
 
@Wipqozn it's actually not appropriate for Facebook's rules, because Facebook's own rules do not allow for that punishment
Either it's a temporary suspension, or the account gets entirely disabled
 
@Nzall Then disable it
 
But not "your account gets indefinitely suspended, but your non-problematic posts remain visible like it currently is I think"
I'm leaving that decision for Facebook.
 
1:23 PM
@Nzall No. This on YOU. I want you to hack into their servers, and disable his account. Actually, I want you to delete ALL his content. Then delete facebook. Then make yourself a sandwich.
Also, that sandwich shouldn't use mayo because mayo is gross.
 
@Wipqozn I'm gonna settle for deleting my own facebook account
I never use it and all I use it for is some random accounts
Most of which I can't even remember
 
I just use facebook for the chat now. I barely ever go on the actual main site. Just use messenger on my phone.
 
Also another statement form the FBOB: Facebook should not treat politicians and heads of states with more leniency compared to normal users, because leader figures have a lot more influence compared to non-leaders and as such can have significant impacts if left unchecked. Recommendation: swift temporary suspension followed by review at the end of the suspension

> "Well Trump, to me, is the Lone Ranger. And the Lone Ranger needs a guy by his side, and that's JFK." -- the comments from this Minnesota-based QAnon lunatic that Newsmax promoted are completely nuts
say it with me folks: All conservative media is garbage!
Although Newsmax is certainly on a whole other level of garbage compared to Fox News
 
3:28 PM
@Wipqozn JFK as in the president who got shot in Dallas?
 
@Nzall Not sure, but probably

twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1389935264420687872 Is this REALLY how dumb some conservative minds are? That they think SCOTUS has jurisdiction over Facebook's moderation tribunal?
 
@TimStone the 24 hour chart for $PFE, $MRNA, $NVAX, and $BNTX looks really fun
sharp drop around 3pm
 
@TimStone Insulin next please
 
@Nzall There is almost no IP protection for insulin
 
aha, I see
So it's all greed?
 
The patents for the old versions expired long ago
And insulin is a lot cheaper in pretty much every other civilized country
 
8:46 PM
yeah, but if my limited understanding is right, the old versions have more serious side effects
 
So there might still be patents if you want the fast-acting or the long-term versions, but for plain old insulin there are no patents
As far as I understand, it's pretty much only about convenience and the ability to manage your blood sugar better
In this particular case I really don't mind just throwing money at Biontech and Pfizer, they came through and actually produced one of the best vaccines and were able to produce a lot more quicker than everyone else. That's a really impressive achievement
And even now they're the only ones reliably meeting exact deadlines here in Germany
 
@MadScientist The main issue is that while most western countries have ample supplies of both Pfizer and Moderna doses, there is a huge lack of doses in the developing nations, and it's mainly for kickstarting vaccine production for those countries
 
I'd probably just encourage them to give out licenses. And I suspect that a large amount of the vaccines for developing nations will end up the excess ordered by the developed ones
 
@Nzall Yes

AP: Trooper charged in child rape hid checkered FBI past apnews.com/article/…
> An Alabama state trooper arrested last week on charges he raped an 11-year-old girl had been kicked out of the FBI amid a string of sexual misconduct allegations but was hired by the state agency with the apparent help of a fake bureau letter that scrubbed his record clean.
