Who the fuck cares what that schlub thinks anyway? Seriously, how the fuck did this guy get so goddamn big and well known? He's a joke.

I think they're being satirical. No one of any actual intelligence takes what Destiny says as truth.

How did the President of the United States get so big and well known?

I think notoriety comes with the job, idk.

What did he do to embarrass himself in front of you?

Destiny had a "debate" with Finkelstein a few days ago on Lex Friedman where he verbatim repeated every piece of debunked Hasbara available it was quite embarrassing to watch. Example:

When Finkelstein said that the IDF murdered four children on a beach Mr. Boneri said that was a lie and those children were inside a "Hamas compound. A simple Google shows Mr Canoli had no idea what he was talking about

Israel exonerates itself over Gaza beach killings of four children last year

An account of the investigation, posted late on Thursday by military spokesman Lt Col Peter Lerner, said the strike had targeted a “compound” which had been known as belonging to Hamas’s Naval Police and Naval Force (including naval commandos)”.

But journalists who attended the scene in the immediate aftermath of the attack – including a reporter from the Guardian – saw a small and dilapidated fisherman’s hut containing a few tools where the children had been playing hide-and-seek.

The Israeli claims appear at odds in several details with what journalists were able to see at the time.

So the "The IDF investigated themselves and found they have done nothing wrong" is basically every argument for pro-israeli grifters.

Damn. Destiny recently said that he could finally start to read on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a result of getting medication for his ADHD. I wasn't expecting that to turn him into an even bigger moron.

Vyvanse and Adderall don't make you smarter. They make a train wreck

Not if he actually has ADHD... Dunno if you've ever met someone who is actually legitimately prescribed Adderall, but it doesn't make them tweak out. It makes them able to concentrate more like a neurotypical person.

Destiny is just a train wreck because he's an idiot.

i have been and am both of these things

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you need a better doctor, or a different medicine.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

i am sober now, so i am just an idiot with adhd.

Plenty of people with ADHD take Adderall because it helps them function. Don't universalize your experience with a specific drug designed to help a specific kind of brain, specially when there's plenty of people with opposite experiences.

He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.
