You’ve obviously not done a full round of cognitive testing.
Correct. You know why? Because unlike the POTUS, I don't need to: nobody has any doubt about my mental faculties.
Many people are surprised at how poorly they do the first time.
I suspect part of the test is remembering the first time, and doing better the second time 🙂
He's really proud of having undergone - and aced, according to him - two cognitive tests in one year. But he totally fails to see that this many such tests at such short intervals is a clear sign that his doctors are worried he's actively going gaga.
Not to mention, acing a cognitive test is about as difficult as acing a patellar reflex test: it's not a sign that you're smart, it's just proof that your noggin' is still working correctly at a basic level.
That's not quite what she said: she basically said she openly believes in batshit religious nonsense, and as such would have no trouble believing unknown phenomena are figures appearing in her batshit beliefs.
The keyword in all of this is batshit. How she won an election, I'll never know.
Two things can be true at the same time. Someone can be a fascist and a pedo.
In fact, other interesting historical parallel, there are strong suspicions that Hitler was a pedo.
How uncanny... It's like the US was an almost perfect historical reenactment of early 3rd Reich.
First of all, there are better ways to deal with anything than privateering. There's a reason why all countries in the world have abandoned it.
Secondly, everybody is operating under the assumption that cybercrime is something that happens and there's no way around it. I contend that if software vendors were penally responsible for vulnerabilities in their software, you'd see a dramatic reduction in hacks very, very quickly.
As in, if a piece of software is exploited, the engineers who worked on it, their managers and the CEO of their company had better come up with extensive documentation proving how they did their best to implement security before releasing the unfortunate piece of code, else one or all of that bunch gets to spend time in the slammer.
If this was implemented into law, I guarantee you software would become very secure across the board in no time flat.
But of course, in the age of tech monopolies and generalized corruption, it will never happen.
You know who else ran unlisted trains of deportees - or listed under some euphemistic name like "special train" or "resettlement to the east"? Can you guess?
Hint: if ICE feels the need to conceal what they're doing, it's because they know what they're doing is not right. Just like the SS.
It's almost like socialism. In the name of preserving national corporate interests.
A kind of national socialism if you will...
This is where the very word Fascism comes from: fasces in latin means bundle - the bundling of state and private sector together. The government and private companies in cahoots is one of the core features of any fascist regime.
Hmm nationalization... That's so Republican...
If you ever needed proof that MAGA ≠ GOP, this is it. The Republican party has disappeared off the radar.
I doubt it and here's why - but bear in mind that this is purely anectodal, based solely on my experience:
Some people have acidic sweat and tend to make everything they touch rust overnight. For those in the high-precision, or high value metalworking industry like gunsmithing, it's a real problem.
Sadly, I'm one of them: when I worked as a gunsmith, I had to either thoroughly clean all the parts I had touched during the day with degreaser, or store them in a jar of lamp oil or petroleum to resume work on clean parts the next day - something my colleagues with neutral sweat didn't have to do.
Back when I worked as a gunsmith, I had a bad case of acid reflux. As a result, I would guzzle gallons of Gaviscon and other antacids all day long. That lasted for a good 15 years until I got so close to oesophageal cancer that I got experimental surgery to my stomach to solve the problem.
The surgery worked great. But guess what: I still sprinkle rusty fingerprints on all the steel parts I touch. My stomach probably had higher-than-normal pH for years with all the antacid medicines I popped, and now it's back to normal, yet there's zero difference to my unfortunate ability to ruin nice steel parts with my sweat.
Make of this what you will. It's not proof of anything, I'm a statistical sample of one here. But I figured maybe my perspective on your question might interest you.
The teacher is the one who's confused here. The kid is entirely correct.
Reagan had dementia but his particular flavor made him quiet and submissive.
Trump's is making him agitated and aggressive, which so far hasn't been a problem for his handlers, but it might become one soon.
