There are many alternatives to the world wide web. Familiarize yourself.

Personally, it's people who get answers from some so-called "book" or "university" or "expert" that grind my gears. Like think for yourself maybe?

Then I apologize for your totally innocent, worthwhile, and unmotivated post about who from some family was and wasn't at some job for a day 25 years ago! Valuable stuff.

Cause people gotta eat, dog. They got kids and bills and shit. Ain't complex. Until it is more economically uncomfortable for workers to not strike, than it is to strike, there is very likely no strike, if you get me.

So that would be a "no" then, as to whether you've investigated how thoroughly debunked all these Loose Change Infowars "anomalies" around Silverstein have been for like 20 years at this point. Happy to link you some fresh info from the last couple decades, if you need an update consisting of more than talk show hosts telling you what types of steel beams jet fuel can and cannot melt.

Holy shit, did you also learn the 25 years of fact finding since then proving that this is nothing but an anti-semetic canard?

My Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th Gen is quite repairable thank you very much, and it was like 400 bucks, and it comes with an i7, 16gb of ram, and a 256gb ssd. It's only marketing that has people convinced they will fall behind unless they have the latest and greatest.

Yeah, humans still occasionally acquire important small pieces of paper or plastic that are convenient to stow in some type of small container that can be keep on the person, what a shock.

If Platner wants to defend himself publicly on this, and/or keep running, and/or sue the accuser for libel, he's free to do any or all of that. As anyone who's been around for a few cycles know, its pretty common for candidates and other public figures, when they first reach a certain terminal level of attention or fame, to get a wide range of accusations on business, personal matters, drug use, and past sexual behavior. Just because these appear to be conveniently timed politically, is not evidence for or against their veracity. If there is no actual juice to these accusations, then dealing with people who lob bombs like that into the middle of campaigns is a well-worn playbook that thousands of politicians have run and won with, and he'll be fine. If.

The Streisand Effect is very rarely understood by the kind of emotional infants Trump prefers to surround himself with.

My personal take is this used to happen to me all the time because I am actually actively listening to the entire content of what the other person is saying, then trying to formulate the next thing to say based on that. Do that and you'll constantly miss your turn at conversation. Just vibe with whatever is being said and then respond to just the last sentence or last few words you heard right before the person stopped talking. Neurotypical people pretty rarely hear/remember much of exactly what someone else had said, they "feel" it internally as the words come at them, pick up a keyword or two from the last few words spoken, and carry on from there. Start doing that and you'll respond in time with their pace.
