Thanks for the warning 🙂 Sometimes I still think I have as much spare time as 10 years ago 😉

Wasn't the penalty for not going ahead with the purchase 1 billion dollars? That seems to have been the better deal after all?

Yes, from what I know about type 1 diabetes is that once your immune system stops destroying your beta-cells, they regenerate. So that would solve your type 1 diabetes. And you'd have as big a chance of type 2 diabetes as the next guy. And isn't that the dream 🙂 So 🤞

Watching it all from Belgium, it seems that the contested speech of Trump is purposefully aimed at:

  • making the previous wrong remark yesterday's news;
  • flooding the news/people with controversial remarks so it's impossible to 'keep count';
  • raising the bar of what shocks Trump-supporters and -opponents.

And then, they, would have our gratitude.

I hope the people of the USA will make the right decision. But, looking at it from Belgium, I'm also so tired of, since 2016, looking at every presidential election in the USA as being the one that will possibly sent the world into chaos. Every night-show, podcaster, ... that I'm able to watch on YouTube can only discuss the situation from the point of view from one side. This makes the programs that once were very entertaining to watch, much less fun. So since I don't have any impact on the outcome, I'm skipping many of these shows that were once a nice discraction. I'm curious if in the USA itself the people are also taking distance from this rethoric on television to not let it impact their daily lives too much.

When Twitter was Twitter the same concerns were outed. Now X is Twitter minus 80% of its employees. From an economic standpoint it seems that investing in moderation doesn't give you less concerns and complaints from the outside regarding disinformation, more extreme content, ... . The advertisers have the most impact, I think. Together with the users that will look for an alternative.

Am I wrong in assuming that OF, and people making money of it, isn't that mainstream at all?
