"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Donald Trump

Oh, wait, sorry... that quote is from a real President.

In an interview before his first term he commented that we had nukes, why not use them? The response from his supporters was that he was just kidding or talking metaphorically. The same people who voted for him because he says what he means.

I haven't driven the newest vehicles, but you can have control over an automatic and where it shifts. And I'm not even talking about the shifting selector, but how you give it gas at certain points to trigger the shifting pattern. Do many people drive like that, probably not, but it's not the machine that determines the driver.

I understood that reference.

It would have been a longer and more complex article requiring a lot of research if they tried to go through all the issues that could be contributing. Hell, it'd be a book.

Yes. They will definitely get the message, this time.

Too young mentally as well. Which could be from society, but even in times where people were forced to be an adult early (working and having children), they did it from necessity and not because they were ready.

Yep, fight crazy theories by doubling down with a more insane one. Then when they start picking yours apart, they "might" see how theirs is silly too. But at least you can throw their momentum off as they can't use the same arguments, they have to start thinking a little bit.

Doesn't even have to be a major change. Like if they start talking about the ones in power, and how they aren't human but lizard people. Argue that they aren't lizards, but amphibians from the future trying to adjust the climate now to fix their world. And the flat Earth theory is just a cover, as the Earth is more of a curved surface, perhaps even the shell of a giant snapping turtle.

There's a lot of very small details that AI would have messed up. Like the background stuff in the picture seems to match okay. But AI is getting better, or they could have had a good photoshop expert. The lettering is due to the camera resolution, I don't see anything off in word placement or length anywhere.

If it's fake, then they'll flub up soon enough somewhere else in continuing it.

It was joining Facebook long ago and adding people I knew that made me realize I'm not going to ever bother going to a reunion. I only had a few close friends in high school, and the rest... well, let's just say it didn't take long for me to block their constant postings about all sorts of junk topics. My mistake was seeing Facebook as a newer version of the BBS forums, but once I figured out it's all about saying "look at me", and not about actual discussion... not my thing.

The LCD screen and size were the selling point beginning with the first ones. Newer phones can do more, and for some that might be better, but I don't like the smaller screen, and will go to a computer before I try to see a website on my phone. Guess it depends on your needs and priorities.

Getting ready to retire, and boy I do not want to be around once my scripting that everyone relies on breaks. And it will, it requires regular upkeep by me. Not by design or maliciousness, but because of Microsoft 365 stupidity. But oh well...
