Ron DeSantis Says They Should Fine Social Media Companies if They Ban State Lawmakers

-

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis introduce a plan to punish social media if they ban state lawmakers. This comes after social media sites banned Trump after the Capitol riots citing that his presence on social media only served to antagonize and incite violence. According to DeSantis' proposal social media companies would be fined $100,000 daily until the candidate's access to a platform be restored. 

Ron DeSantis is a moron and so is anyone that agrees with this. The reason these politicians don't want social media to ban them is because it's the only place where they can post whatever they want, fact or fiction, and no one is supposed to question it. 

For instance, Trump lost his damn mind when social media companies started putting fact checkers on his tweets when they referenced the virus. He was saying that social media was trying to censor his freedom of speech. No, social is trying to keep the spreading of misinformation around thus they put the fact checkers on his tweets so that people would be able to reference expert medical opinion and not just blindly follow the words of that imitation Cheeto. 

They claim that social media has a monopoly on the flow of information which 100% NOT true. There are hundreds of thousands of millions of websites that have information and you can share information that have nothing to do with Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram but the reason these politicians want to stay on the social media is because they know millions of people are using it so they have a large audience whereas if they are banned from social media they have to go back to doing things the hard way and lying directly to people's faces instead of behind a phone screen. 

At the end of the day, Twitter is a private business and service which retains the right to withhold service to anyone regardless of status because that's how it works in this country-- but then again these are the same people who will support a bakery in their decision to no bake a cake for a gay couple because they are gay so who knows, right?? *smh*

Here's Are Some Thing I've Learned From Growing My Cannabis Plant

Growing my plant turned out to be a complete waste of time. The whole appeal of DIY growing was not having to spend money on bud. From what I understand, a plant can yield about a pound of marijuana which would have lasted me at least 6 months, however, my plant turned out to be a male which is basically useless.  I know, I know...what do you mean useless? Well, male plants aren't the ones we smoke; it's the female plants that produce the potent sticky icky bud we all love.  Yes, I'm disappointed that my own grow was a bust, however, I figured I could at least share the things I learned along the way.  Male Plants versus Female Plants If you happen to come across a seed, or two, there's no way to tell whether or not a plant is male or female until it starts to grown, so my first tip is that if you only have the one seed, pray...pray real hard or skip planting all together because if you do end up with a male plant, it's more of a hassle than it's worth.  Serious

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.  I live in, literally, the middle of God's green no where right now and I don't have a car.  Each time I've saved up money to get myself a car something happens.  For instance, I was up about $5k when the pandemic happened and I was just about to pull the trigger on getting a car, but at the time people were getting laid off and business was slowing down.  I figured it would be mighty stupid of me to take on this rather large financial obligation knowing that there's a chance I could be laid off.  Sure as shit, a month later, I was laid off. I wasn't at any great loss for not having a car at the time because I was living in NC and could walk, bike, or Uber/Lyft wherever I needed to go.  It sucked not having a car and having to walk places, but I swallowed my pride and did what I needed to do to make it.  Here, I can't walk anywhere. I can't Uber anywhere, so me getting a

Update for my Loyalists

I feel bad that I didn't do a podcast episode last week and feel bad that I don't feel like doing one this week. To be honest, every time I skip a podcast episode I left myself down more than anyone, but I think right now I'm going to put them on hold until I find another job, or get some money. It's hard to keep motivated when I'm stressing about money and trying to find a job. I wish I had the support and freedom to just focus on making my media company a success, but when you don't have money to eat it takes away from your focus.  I'm not sleeping well at night because my problems keep me up. Sometimes I'll stay up until I literally pass out and I know that's not good. I know that it's a sign that I'm depressed. I try to wake up every day and pretend everything is alright and I'm alright, but I'm not.  Everyday it's a struggle to keep my wits about me. I woke up one morning recently, went out side, found a huge stick, and slamm
