I definitely do notice bots from time to time, but I'd agree with you that it's still small and bots are not that common, YET.

I feel i came from a middle class but relatively well do family, dad had enough so we never had to skip meals or skip new clothes every year.

But I also got luckyt young in my age (from age 12 to 17). I regularly interacted with people who were poor, underprivileged and ubdereducated.

I saw parents giving their 1 year old some hash just to stop them from crying, I mean what chance that kid has to ever be sober.

I saw a grown man who aas extremely happy when I gave away my 3 year old t shirt that i thought i got so bored with.

I saw daily labour markets where I've seen grown man cry because they didn't get picked for that day and he doesn't know how he is going to be feeding his family tonight.

I saw how being poor was a trap, I remember I saw this day laborer buy 10ml of oil, 200g of rice, 100g of beans at exorbitant markups (50-70% compared to if he bought standard 1kg packs) . And I was like this man is stupid for not buying bulk and my dad explained, he has to go hungry for a week before he can save up enough to buy bulk and he'd much rather not go hungry.

Anyway my point being, I am always aware lucky and privileged I am. all parents should make good faith effort to show their kids how people below them in wheel of luck live, and not as a cautionary tale like an exhibit. But put them in situations where they can see the actual good people behind the poor, underprivileged and ubdereducated label. Otherwise kids only know their lifestyle and think that's normal.

US has real cheese and some of them are even really good, problem is US allows for the shitty processed cheese to be also called cheese and most Americans I've met, don't quite understand the difference between processed goo and cheese, and then they talk online that their processes goo is tasty and rest of the world looks down on them.

I've tried a few American real cheese, but only name I can remember is Monterey Jack from Cali.

My guess is, Trump wants to be populist, because the rule thumb when he was young was cheap oil means cheap fuel and cheap fuel means cheap goods and he wants to show the US that he can reign in inflation. Rural republican are suffering terribly under him. That's why he wants to flood the market with oil.

Again just a guess, but could be wrong.

OPEC has the Sustainability (of the oil business, not of the planet) game in mind, they wanna keep price of crude between 60 and 80, less than 60 and the more heavy and sour crude don't make economic sense for the whole of oil value chain. If the prices are too high, customers invest in alternate sources of fuel that are not crude oil hydrocarbons and it hurts their long term goal.

Yeah i saw it's releasing some updates. But it's the old version that lacks quite a few features compared to v2. And v2 is not open source.

But I thought v1 was dead, good to see active development on it.

Is nightly different? I thought lawnchair didn't make apks available outside of play store while claiming to be open source?

Well good to see critical thinking alive. No blanket statements, just hey that's what I felt, not sure it's reliable, but that's what I felt.

I gotta respect that.

My mom kept accidently pressing the mouse button, I could never figure it out why, when I was watching I guess shed be conscious and use it properly, but complain later that things get pasted randomly. After I disabled middle click, she hasn't complained.
