5th richest person on the entire fucking planet wants you to give him more money

he’s a little out of pocket right now after suing a bunch of people in Hawaii to force them to sell their land on the cheap so he can have his 700-acre $100,000,000 playground to himself

God, the fucking AUDACITY

It’s easy to forget how disgustingly, perversely rich this man is. He could live in the most absurd, decadent luxury, never lifting a finger, until he turned 1000 years old without spending even a tenth, a twentieth, of the money he has now. He could buy a Tesla and drive it into the ocean, every day, for the next 100 years, without spending even a twentieth of his money.

Even 1 billion dollars is so much money that the human brain has troubles fully comprehending it, so much more money than any one, ten, twenty human beings would ever need in the span of a lifetime, even assuming a lifestyle more comfortable than that enjoyed by basically any other human throughout all of history. He has over 63.

And he wants you to donate to him?? TO HIM??? He could improve the lives of untold hundreds of millions of people if he just decided to give away some of his absurd riches. He could give away 95% of his money without it impacting the quality of his life in any measurable way. And he wants people to just give him more of it?

bring back the fucking guillotine, eat the rich

((I can’t access my personal blog atm so I’m doing my fact check here.

The tweet uses improper grammar.. It should say “You can now donate to a ‘Mark Zuckerberg for President’ campaign” with quotations. There’s an ‘a’ there before ‘Mark Zuckerberg’, indicating that it’s referring to a thing and not a person. The article that the link is to can be found here.

The first two paragraphs are as follows:

“Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed that he is not running for President in 2020 earlier this week. But some of his supporters don’t care.

“A newly formed progressive Super PAC named “Disrupt
for America” is now accepting donations for their cause: convincing
Zuckerberg to run in 2020.”

The Zucc (<- I’m being silly) doesn’t want to run for president, at least as of May 2017. According to the article, it’s not him asking for the money.

Zuckerberg has donated money to charities already (as it’s very easy to do without much thought when you’re a ‘fucktupillionaire’), as according to Business Insider in this article.

Do I trust Zuckerberg? Absolutely not. So thank GOD he’s not running for president.

This post is going to rushed but I’m still shaking and it’s hard to type but I NEED people to know this

My mom just took my dog to the vet
She(my dog) was(still is?) having a seizure

Last month we took my dog to the vet and they told us she had developed diabetes, they told us it was caused by the food she was eating, purina beneful.
They told us that there have been many many many reports of Beneful has been causing diabetes, seizures, and even death in dogs.

We had no idea

We immediately switched her food and put her on a special diet plan for her diabetes, unfortunately the effects were already permeate.

Today at 11:20 my mom woke me up crying, I helped her carry my dog to the car (while she was still having a seizure) and watched her drive away red faced and still crying.

Please please PLEASE if you are feeding your pets Purina beneful PLEASE switch their food ASAP
Beneful is poising dogs and I don’t want anyone else to experience what I just did
Also if you could please help me signal boost this so everyone can know

This would explain why my dog has seizures now…fucking hell

Reblog and save lives of dogs

found out purina was the reason my dog winston had been having seizures and puking. please don’t feed your dog purina.

reblog even if you don’t own a dog or even if you’re not “a dog person” because I can’t even imagine how horribly depressed I would be if this happened to my dog

OP posted this three years ago, but there is some backing to it. There was a lawsuit back in 2015 against Nestle Purina for the alleged cases of serious illnesses and death in dogs eating their food. But the case was dismissed.

Snopes.com unfortunately says that these allegations are unproven, but it points out that there were other incidents with Beneful kibble and provides statements from Nestle Purina that makes it seem like the company was unwilling to consider they had a defective product.

Personally, I wouldn’t trust Nestle as far as I can throw them. I don’t buy Purina for my dog, and I never would. I’d be very wary if someone gave me a bag of it that they didn’t need anymore.

Hey! Instead of supporting these rlly bad ppl who can bring harm to autistic people (will link proof below)!

How about you buy autistic friendly clothes n stuff that can do u no harm from an actual autistic persons store @elsinore-snores !

Store Link

Proof of the gps on their FAQ

Hey signal boost!!!!

hey it’d mean a lot to me if yall’d reblog this since as an autistic person this is really fucking disgusting

we are not fuckin dogs to be microchipped wtf???? this only allows autistic people to be abused even easier than before

im sure non-autistic people can rb this for their autistic followers??

Okay… so I went and did some fact-checking.

First – Typing in “Independence Day Clothing Autistic” in Google I found this page where Autism Speaks Vice President of Family Services Lisa Goring (ugh) talks about funding for tracking devices for wandering autistic children/wards. However, admittedly the information is all over the place. The page name in the tab is “Independence Day Clothing | Reversible Preppy Apparel | optional GPS”(<– the part I’m focusing on here), but the link says “free-tracker-subscriptions”, but then the page itself is just the Q&A for Lisa Goring.

The FAQ page on the site doesn’t mention GPS – it just talks about standard shipping and handling, payment methods, returns, etc. This is where you are taken when you click on “How to get GPS” in the footer links on the site.

I found a Huffington Post article from 2015 however that explains more about what we’re fearing here. I encourage to give it a read just so you have more information.

The ‘Approach’ page says that their clothing is ‘compatible’ with personal trackers. What that means, I dunno. It doesn’t say if they’re merely pockets that you can slip a device inside of, or if they have devices that they sew in and you have to activate.

I haven’t found an easy link where the site would talk about the sort of devices that they would offer to potential buyers – no prices, or anything. In my opinion, the site is all about being designed to be ‘aware’ and ‘friendly’, but it’s terrible with giving much-needed information.

Coming away from it, just on the principle that they freely support Autism Speaks leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And some of the language on the site, like ‘Who needs to know you don’t have a zipper down there?’ as if you’ll be judged for not having a god-damned zipper, really irks me and rubs me the wrong way. To me, it’s obvious that they’re trying obscenely hard to be relevant and trendy, especially by mentioning outright that they’re a “women-and-minority run company” as if that automatically should put them in everyone’s good books.

They do not mention the ‘Spectrum’ anywhere, so I don’t get the impression that they are aware that there are differences from one autistic person to another.

OP has since removed the original post. The Huffington Post article is from 2015, so I’m going to assume that’s when the post came out.

By the way, OP’s ‘Store Link” is not to “Independence Day Clothing” as I had initially thought (poor reading on my part perhaps), but to a cute little Etsy store run by Francis from @elsinore-snores, who is on the spectrum and crafts various stim-friendly accessories, noise-muffling beanies and headbands, and sensory safe garments. I’m not sure exactly how active they are on the Etsy account, but if you’d like I’d encourage you to go check it out and support someone who really wants to help others like them. Keep in mind though that they are in Germany, according to their Etsy – I’m unsure if there will be any shipping restrictions because of that. I don’t know them personally either, so keep that in mind as well.

Ugh… I apologize for the wall of text on this one. There was a lot to talk about.
