That seems very cheap? Considering all the sunshine he must recurve from various industries

Labour in the UK haven't offered anything new since Tony Blair, and even then it wasn't new in a good way. It almost looked like they might with Corbyn, but they destroyed him themselves.

I liked the old aibnb one.

Microsoft went from "boring with a bit of attitude" to just plain boring

Except eBay, that was always trash.

I know more working class people that have been on cruises than middle class ones, TBH. Probably coincidence, but still..

So it's a good idea for multiple reasons?

Sorry, but cherry-picking some good quotes from trump doesn't prove anything. I'm sure if you searched hard enough you could find equally "good" quotes from Hitler. You are using the same flawed logic (extrapolating from small amounts of data) that you're accusing everyone else of.

Optimism does not seem like a good defence against creeping fascism. What if you're wrong?

Why? There is a long list of suspicious deaths of people who have been recently critical of Putin, including multiple falling out of windows. It seems weirdly credulous to believe there's nothing connecting them. Seems to me you're the one making the strong claim that needs to be backed up.

Why pick two of his better quotes to make your point? It just make your argument look weak.

What about the constant resist dog whistling? The "eating the dogs" stuff? The wearing proud boys colours?

I get what you're saying, but would people in germany in 1932 have been able to predict what was going to happen in between 1934-9?

 

I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

 

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
