I probably wouldn't have had a whole jar if it wasn't at the $1000 mark (there are many emptier jars of olives I have). You guys have been killing it.

Thanks to your kind giving to the Transgender Law Center, @btflotsam.bsky.social has consumed an entire jar of olive juice. This wasn't even an incentive we planned, he just did that for crashing past $500 earlier this morning. Your generosity works wonders!

A jar of olives, drained of water because btf_flotsam drank it all.

I stopped trusting that people were smart and would do the smart thing a long time ago.

Why are you even surprised? This is basic cause and effect; a preacher gets killed, their sins get forgotten because of the weight of the tragedy and people feel like someone's trying to kill them. I'm tempted to say NOT doing this would be insane.

Topic: "Huh, electric cars aren't doing well in America" Initial comment: "TRUMP IS BAD" Me: wondering why I'm even on here

Maybe I'm just a different type of person who eschews ethos and pathos for logos when it comes to debates (people really question what the hard sciences and mathematics bring to the table), but I am questioning this... and somewhat alarmed by the implications.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Fair enough, I just read your quote and assumed that it meant you agreed with it. (I would like to add that I think people should be able to be trusted to deal with extremism on social media, and probably should be trusted to do it when able.)

Instead, you... become a martyr? That's kinda what's happening here.

Weird that people believed a laughing stock, but sure. Also, while we know little about the shooter and its motives, we know about everyone celebrating his death and basically asking for America to stay divided.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

OK, so are you arguing that social media stuff should be restricted (your first reply to me) or that they shouldn't (the original post)? I'm genuinely confused if you're doing anything other than picking a fight with the nearest person.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

If that was the case, then he could have been demolished in an actual debate and be left a laughing stock.

For all the claims he's said bad things, I've yet to see someone accept burden of proof and actually find a particularly bad thing he's said. As someone who was called a pedophile for wondering why someone was insulting RFK Jr with no provocation, I'm skeptical.

000

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Free speech shouldn't be regulated, but social media shouldn't be everyone insulting everyone all the time. Just because it's not illegal, it doesn't mean it's a nice thing to say.

100

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

I'm alarmed at the replies here. Let's just stop trivializing political assassinations, it was bad when it happened to the Democrats and it's bad when it happens to the conservatives.

100

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

Hey, the last time I was on here I asked why people were just insulting RFK Jr and what it would do, and was called a pedophile in return. As far as I am concerned, you're either a butthurt liberal or a bot, and the same applies to you.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

It's alarming that the Democrats have made Trump look like a viable candidate... but yeah, you guys really need to sort out that issue. (I'm not American!)

In all seriousness, the main museum closest to me has a permanent exhibit about the future (that gets more and more dated by the year) and regular exhibits about the near future.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

I think I met you on here before... then again, it feels like 90% of people on here share three braincells, all of them trying to use every opportunity to make a dumb joke about Republicans and shit on people who call them out on it. (At least discuss how to stop them, or something.)

"Backup for when fascists come mess with your main Bluesky account." One group wears MAGA hats and uses Truth Social, the other one uses BlueSky.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Any time there's a story about police that reaches a place that regularly insults Republicans as a hobby, my assumption is that someone's going to say something like this. It's like gravity, except with generic individuals meeting stereotypes.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Greenpeace disbelieved science and the truth around GMOs and embraced many conspiracy theories around the subject. Trust me, the disease happened during birth and is called "emotional thinking". There is no cure, but symptoms can be reduced by careful doses of 'questioning your own beliefs'.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

They disagree with its conclusions, they disagree with the methods. Whether it be racist phrenologist, classist handwriting experts, Greenpeace going after GMOs or alternative medicine people claiming their stuff works, people have historically proven to put opinions before science.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

So it's Dr Phil, who people here dislike, vs "the largest Christian TV network". This isn't going to make news, I just want some popcorn and some fun in this story.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

What's the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans? The states they want to gerrymander.

000

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

People say this, but I've seen some Democrats take a look at the Gerrymandering and go "let's just ignore the free PR of not trying to rig an election and just muddy the waters by doing it ourselves".

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

I'm just noting that shouting at a brick wall does nothing. If you don't want to be a waste of time, you may want to avoid it. (I mean, you're on BlueSky, so you like shouting at an agreeable brick wall by definition.)

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

This comment is peak "if I ignore or insult the Trump voters they won't hurt me". News flash: they already have. Deal with it.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

Everything is how it should be, with WWE having crappy storytelling. Hey, it's aligned with the worst version of the political right and actively supports a sex offender.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

I don't have an obligation to do anything; burden of proof lies with the accuser, and if you re-read what I actually said (rather than what you hallucinated me as saying) you'll realize that I never said that I believe it isn't happening.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

P.S. I seem to recall my personal insult towards the guy also doing a personal insult was blocked. (Seriously, why am I wasting my time talking to nobodies like you on social media? Am I really that bored? Can I find something more productive to do, like watch grass grow?)

100

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

P.S. You copping such an emotional boo-boo from my roast that you reported it for hate speech and then saying "no-one cares" is the most pathetic thing I've seen this week. Take the L and leave, quit while you're behind.

Is this a reference to menstrual bleeding and how the English monarch was a woman for most of the past 100 years? (It's probably not, but it's all I can think of and it's funny.)

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Diogenes 2.0 (Let's be serious here, changing one word to the original statement to kill the counter-argument shouldn't be this easy... if the counter-argument was made by someone with multiple braincells doing it for more than their online posse.)

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

It's allegedly coding error, and a coding error that occurs once is more than likely to occur tons of times. I'm playing devil's advocate here, but only because seemingly everyone else here shares an extremely tiny number of braincells.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

I'm not saying that they aren't involved, all I'm saying is that you have burden of proof on oil companies and billionaires being proven to be involved with the anti-global warming stuff. If you want to change people's minds, you need to present stuff that proves it to them.

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Look, I know I can't change your mind (as a dog returns to its master, and so on). I don't know who you are, and frankly, I don't care: I touched grass today, and it felt great.

They say that God moves in mysterious ways. (Also, is that an anti-Muslim statement?)

bsky.app/profile/btfl... I was too lazy to respond to someone practically identical to him, so I'm repeating the information. (Why do I even bother trying convince you retards? You guys have never had an independent thought in your life.)

In case you were wondering, the misinformation was about Christians espousing flat-earth beliefs. (I tend to agree with people criticizing other political beliefs for being full of shit, regardless of which set of fecal matter they are calling shit.)

You think calling Trump a billionaire dictator is transphobia. On a scale from 1 to 10, how high is your IQ?

BTF_Flotsam (ImAReelBuoy) @btflotsam.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

I've seen anti-Christian disinformation here. The Right are hardly unique in having a worldview that gives them that belonging, certainty and moral clarity.
