I wouldn't take ANY advice from him.

I dunno, he's prob the go-to guy for techniques about chainsawing the head off a dead whale

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I'm actually that kinda guy. It would never occur to me that chainsawing the head of a whale corpse I found on the beach would be a no-no. It's already dead! Not like I killed it. I'm also dumb enough to keep bird feathers I find. Yeah. That could be a problem given the wrong cop.

"SWEET! Giant skull! I'm hanging that shit at camp! (After the ants do their thing.)"

I really do hang skulls I find on the shed door. Got a deer, a small mammal with pointy canines, a box turtle and pieces of something the raptors left (rabbit?). One time the local dogs dropped a deer skull on my tent. Coughed loudly and scared hell out of 'em.

I've always loved collecting animal bones, feathers, and sometimes skins that are in reasonably good condition.

Shit ...I'm pretty sure you could figure it out.

What people are missing from the article and headline is that he had vaccinated his children when they were little and the question was whether he would vaccinate his children if they were young today. That's the question he sidestepped. Yes, I bet he would is the reason for the sidestep. He's a con man too.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday sidestepped a question about vaccines and whether he would choose to vaccinate his children today against a number of diseases, saying, “I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me.”

Brain worm guy has a point there

Remember to kick a republican in the balls.

Self aware wolf? That title made me laugh, and question what he's doing in that position, to administer eugenics only?

The smartest thing he has ever said and he doesn't even realize it

My brother in christ you are the secretary for health

While "fake it till you make it" works for personal gain, for the greatest good it's better to be incompetent and honest. No one to blame but Trump for putting him in this position.

Now if only he would remain steadfast and consistent with this sort of honesty. That's the issue with these fools, they are consistently inconsistent. It's the most aggravating form of stupidity.

Dude sounds like he’s just some confused fishing buddy that a friend hired.

Elizabeth Holmes admits she was in control of Theranos

But Ms. Holmes... did you not start this company?

  "I swear to god, I was extremely incompetent. I had no clue what I did day in, day out. It's all just a blur. I'm not even sure why they hired me honestly."

  “Fuck if I know what I did on my years-long coke bender”

  "Not only am I a bad judge of who a good employee might be, but I'm also a bad employee. It's truly the worst situation, Your Honor."

  "I was self-employed and my boss was an incompetent jerk."

  "Seems to be a huge problem in self-employment. I’m self-employed, or was until my asshole boss got in a car accident in my car and somehow blamed the whole thing on me! Fucker is a procrastinator too."

  "I've already punished myself with a pay cut."

  "Look no reasonable person would have hired me, thus I'm clearly mentally unwell"

  "I’m gonna sue my ass for what I did to me!"

  “I am just a low-level CEO, I really just made the coffee.”

  "As I said, I was incompetent. I should never have hired me."

    She made the critical error of stealing from rich people

Alright no one's asking so I'm doing it. Are these real quotes? And ain't it a shame we're living in a time I need to ask that?

So did Martin Shkreli. (LOL, I Googled "guy who raised drug prices". First hit from Gemini. Maybe AI ain't so dumb?)

Shkreli not only bragged about it but had the nerve to be an insufferable little bitch while he was at it. With a punchable face. At least Holmes is cute.

Steal from the poor all ya like, never the rich. Reverse Robin Hood: A-OK.

But... You're the.... I.... I hate this timeline.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago

I’ll give him a slight amount of credit for saying that part out loud.

Let’s face it, his pushes are likely going to be cost cuts on anything the federal government is involved in, to try to make up on tax cuts and entitlement programs for the top 10%. Which will only, long game, make working class more unhealthy, angry, and desperate.

That's a twist

Must have been the brain worm talking.
