They always want us to wake up, but they never want us to be woke...

"She left the barn but not before returning twice a day to take photos and a video, according to the Statesman."

I mean... probably before too.

Yeah, having never had covid, I definitely notice a lot of friends and family around me seeming to struggle mentally with stuff they used to be good at. And some of them physically, too. It has had a pretty noticeable cost already with most of them only getting it 1-3 times so far. If it keeps being around and adding up and people keep thinking of it as not a big deal, I can't imagine how much more it's going to affect them in 5-10 years.

So far, none of them have even gotten the specific effects necessary for a "long covid" label, but it has clearly done something.

Even knowing everything that has come before intimately doesn't make Trumps stuff make any sense. There is a reason all the professional historians, including the ones politically on his side, are up in arms about him and his plans. This is not "business as usual", he is as bad as literally everyone that has any idea about any of this stuff says he is.

He is way too easy to corrupt and sway. He has no idea what he is doing and trusts all the wrong people because they play him so easily. He's a "useful idiot", but useful to people who want to bring America down or just make more money for themselves. He still thinks all of his plans are his own ideas, or at least that he is doing them for his own reasons, but they are just tapping into his overblown self-confidence and ego.

The reason calling him "weird" actually worked is because he knows that word... schoolyard taunts bother him so much more than accurate assessments of the consequences of his actions. If he could follow along with that logic, he wouldn't be a problem in the first place. Deplorables doesn't get to him because he has no idea what that means and refuses to learn. He has an aversion to reading. Yes, that thing that is basically 90% of the presidents job.

The problem with onedrive is now when you visit your parents for tech support, all their important stuff is on the "hard drive called one drive", since Windows now just makes it look the same as a hard drive on your computer. And once that hard drive fills up, which will be pretty fast with default settings, then it starts asking them to pay money, or their important files will be lost... at their level of technical skill, that is basically the legal version of those scams that encrypt your files and then extort you to unencrypt them.

For those of us who know what is going on, it's only a mild inconvenience. Just gotta put less agressive back up settings on and remove anything from onedrive that isn't needed. But think about what it's like for all the people who would get themselves into that situation and don't have someone that could fix it for them. They either pay onedrive the extortion money, lose those files, or take the computer to someone to fix it for a cost. Why make those the default settings? Why not even pop up like a selection of default settings with a short description of what to expect from each selection. But it would cost more money and generate less, so no matter how user-friendly it would be, the only way it'll happen is under court order.

Edit: also for any of us that use windows professional, alot of these problems will seem foreign to us. Of course, all the predatory stuff is exclusive to windows home edition. That's the one where they are agreeing to have a bad time because it made the computer they bought in the store look cheaper than the one next to it.

Other way around, Mayor always said it was terror, FBI originally said it wasn't. Well, one person from the FBI anyway.

The headline in your image "unclearly" states exactly that. FBI declares "not terrorism, -contradicting- Mayors statement".

It's certainly possible to pay alot for jeans, but it is by no means the norm for them to be expensive.

But it's not just jeans, it's all dress code restrictions that apply in situations where they don't or shouldn't matter.

Dress codes are ostensibly about the comfort level of your peers, but in actuality, they tend to be more about "who" they exclude rather than "what" they exclude... and are still about the "comfort" levels of the people that enforce them.

The funny thing is most presidents wouldn't be bothered by it, it's an honorable thing to do, but we know it's gonna bother trump, no matter how many times people tell him what honor is, it's never gonna sink in. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised it he tries, or even succeeds, at getting them raised for his inauguration.

You know, you're totally right, we "do" need a term for always being hungry but never in the mood to eat anything.

But, it all started with his dad having a mistress... it was already ruined...

Yeah, I suppose I could have made a list of the various other ways, like the water cycle, thermal vents, and the effects of surface level winds on water below the surface too. But even given all those methods, anything else that helps move water around faster is gonna have some effect.
