In the 90's, a full grown man who was pretending to be a doctor, wrote a book called Men Are From Mars, and Women Are From Venus. The book simply stated that women are emotional, and men are rational, while writing about his downright abusive irrational treatment of his own wife, and somehow this was a best seller.

Dr. Gartner, pt.2: "I don’t want to say the mainstream media is covering up Trump’s cognitive disability, but they certainly aren’t covering it like the 5-alarm fire it is. They are consistently not showing the parts of Trump’s speeches & interviews where his eyes go blank, his jaw goes slack, he looks confused, & slurs words, uses non-words, can't finish a sentence, rambles, perseverates, confabulates & babbles incoherently. That’s what should make the 6 o’clock news."

@CindyWeinstein Covfefe? Trump was tossing the word salad while he was still President. He'd fold his arms and sulk. He'd fidget if he had to sit still for any length of time. He walked out of meetings. He had Ivanka sit in on matters of State, because he couldn't comprehend half of what was being said - if that much. He sacked anyone who disagreed with him. I'd say the evidence of his unfitness to hold office were there while he was campaigning in 2014/15/16...but nobody wanted to see it.

It's strange to me when I see people get upset about people doing good deeds, and posting it online.

"They're just doing it for attention!"

Yeah, so what? I'd much rather see people doing nice things for attention, than the people who do mean pranks or wasting food. A good deed is still good, even if it's done for the wrong reasons.

@RickiTarr I'm always encouraged by the 'Pay It Forward', and 'Buy A Coffee' stories I hear or read about. It may be a small thing to one, but a big deal to another. Why is that a bad thing? People have become overcritical of SJWs.

"lf a person refused to (unmask), that right there should cause you some sense of alarm."

NYC Mayor Eric Adams continues to encourage businesses to request customers to unmask. This is ableist, puts people's health at risk, and is NOT required by law.

Meta lost $3.85 billion on the metaverse in the first quarter of 2024 alone. You know, that thing we all laughed about a couple years ago and next to no one actually uses.

It’s burned $45 billion on the metaverse since the end of 2020.

FYI, you can still get infected with if you have had the vaccine. It does not prevent infection itself. What it prevents is the disease form of measles, which -- with vaccination -- the immune system keeps in check

What we don't know is how and our friend -- a virus that impacts the immune system's ability to keep infections in check -- will end up impacting this

It would be wise, then, to prevent measles infection entirely by filtering it out of the air

“By maintaining monopoly over smartphones”—

That statement alone is bizarre.
Having more market share does not make it a monopoly. It makes it more successful.

If anything, the US smartphone market is a duopoly with & Google in terms of operating systems and an oligopoly (with others) in terms of hardware.

Apple does control its own smartphones, though. Consumers know this and choose that ecosystem.

    I'm watching the Jubilee "middle ground" episode (https://youtu.be/9FCixSEjUJ8?si=DuChJz4SMpmWVCYn) about and something the mum of one of the Autistic folks said sent me off on a "maybe I'm not " imposter syndrome spiral, so I'm gonna vent my issues with it here.

    Basically she was talking about Autism being "trendy" now and "the spectrum" including anybody whether they only have sensory issues and nothing else, etc.

    That you suffered any time at all with Imposter Syndrome, is bėcause of this. It harms Autistics, and AuDHDers, and those who are trying to banish the myths. @ScruffyDux

    Far too damn many. I reckon it's only stopped now because Biden, Sunak, & Albanese, are bleeding support in the domestic polls. Shameful, disgraceful excuses for human beings.

    @Woodswalked @melissabeartrix At the store we use, the manager will often open another checkout, if the queues get too long. A lot of elderly folk shop there, so this is being considerate of us.
    If managers don't make allowances, the store is avoided. Not very good business practice.

    @melissabeartrix Either this is an isolated incident, or Coles Waterloo needs to replace that self-serve 'assistant'. I don't use self service, but I have only witnessed smiling, helpful staff in that area.
    My guess is that this job pays less than manning a checkout, even though it entails more responsibility.
    Hubs read that Canadian supermarket chain is returning to manned checkouts. Apparently, all self-serve is not the most efficient way to do things. Who knew🤔😉🤣
