Terrorists these days... They just don't make them like they used to.

Oh, no, they're definitely playing games... Weird, oppressive, shitty ones, but definitely games. I mean, jeez, they just kinda collectively jumped the shark as an entity AWHILE back, I think we can all agree on that... (Not that the Dems are much better, obviously, but at least in general they aren't 'fuck feeding kids at school for free, they can work nights,' comic book villain evil)

then stay. Do just enough. Wait for an opening and force them to fire you.

Tbh, if you're working primarily to make someone else wealthy and you aren't doing this already, I have no idea what you're even doing with your life.

"Well, you see, according to parliamentary procedure bearing weapons is HIGHLY frowned upon, as it turns out. Quite beastly, indeed."

"What about the assault rifles they all came equipped with?"

"Oh, yes," attempts to look around room through glasses with 12 foot thick lenses; fails, but pretends to know what's going on anyway, "Well, we'll certainly be doing something about THAT! You mark my words."

"Fucking finally! Are we gonna charge them with sedition? Treason? Ooohhh, terrorism? There's so many choices I-"

"My aides have already begun drafting a semi-official non-binding statement condemning the disgraceful rapscallions and urging them to seek greater bipartisan cooperation and unity."

"Rapsc- ? Unity? Da fuq? CALL THE COPS, MAGOO, WHILE WE STILL HAVE-"

"I assure you, it's quite strongly worded. Oh, he'll definitely be feeling the sting of our retribution soon.... ish. Tomorrow maybe."

As Jon Stewart put it on an episode of The Daily Show following the election, "The Republicans are playing chess and the Democrats are playing checkers"

 

So, I recently attempted to use this cheap little bluetooth keyboard/trackpad combo that I have in conjunction with Liftoff and encountered an issue rendering it essentially unusable. Unfortunately, I don't have any other BT input devices to test with to check if it's just some sort of wonkiness between this particular one and Liftoff, but I did try it with another device and other apps on the same phone without issue, so I'm reasonably sure it's not a hardware problem at least.

At any rate, the issue I'm seeing manifests when you have a textbox selected in Liftoff and attempt to input text via a bluetooth keyboard - Every keystroke appears to try to close the on-screen keyboard, which the Liftoff app apparently isn't cool at all with, as it immediately tries to reopen it again. This causes the screen to bounce up and down like crazy, which could still be workable (assuming a sufficient level of confidence in your typistry) if it didn't also cause things to bog down and lose the odd character here and there, as well.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Or perhaps have a fix even? Cuz I've kinda reached the bounds of my troubleshooting expertise as far as bluetooth and bluetooth accessories are concerned and I'm out of ideas.
