Impossible, they know that’s electoral suicide

Indeed. Today’s nyt poll has trump ahead in some battleground states. No time for complacency.

Straw is terrible for defence but it might do for misdirection. Not in this instance though. That was pretty bad.

CIA was formed in 1947

Stalin’s reign ended in 1953

The Soviet Union fell in 1991

Given the text has no date of reference it could be referring to any year between 47 and 91 and I’m doubtful the cia was producing caloric comparisons during the very first years of it’s inception, so I’m also doubtful it refers to the Stalin years.

Given the above I thought I’ll check the date of the source document.

What do you know? The text is from a document dated 1983.

The meme is shit.

People that want to be able to yell “fire” in packed theatres without consequences and own nuclear weapons at home are truly the most oppressed ideology.

Is that what they think caused him to talk about post birth abortions? And immigrants eating cats and dogs? Her non existent ear piece?

Strong copium vibes from Adams…

I guess Howard Dean won because all anyone can remember is his scream.

I guess Romney won because all anyone can remember is “binders full of women”.

People laughing at and being disgusted with the convicted felon / village idiot is not a win.

Fasting and complete sensory isolation was a big thing. Not sure how effective.

The focus mode ui is another bugbear - how scattered the ui is for this.

I can alter it from the bottom middle of the notification shade once set, but I can’t enable it from there - why?

At least put a line with date and time at the bottom of the notification shade so I don’t have to roll it all the way down.

Also, I’ve set triple back tap to turn on the flash.. well, it only works (inconsistently) when the phone is unlocked. Why?

Advertising wouldn’t work if there was need to wait for generations to pass.

I don’t mind Ubuntu server, though you’re right you need to clean it up a bit by uninstalling snap and killing the login ad of managed k8s, the LTS versions have been quite consistently easy to deal with and stable, but then again so has Debian.

It’s also a mistruth that people don’t change their minds. Look at the rise and fall of any brand, religion or cult - some people had to change their minds.
