She also might be trying to place herself as a contender for the 2028 election. If Trump wins and doesn't completely up end the two term limit then in 2028 the Republican party will need a new presidential candidate. If he loses he may not live to see the 2028 election and it's the same thing. She's only doing what every sycophant and nonconformist has done throughout human history, planning ahead for when the king dies.

My reply is totally unrelated to this thread. You seem to be very amped up about this. Reading your comments in this thread you really have a strong opinion on the USA, which is not your country. Which means you have as much influence in it as I do, basically none. My question/point, do you know why you're so amped up about this?

InputZero , 4 months ago to Privacy in I installed Windows 10 in a virtual machine...man, this is straight up dystopian.

The only reason I don't completely despise Windows is because it, along with Mac OS, has made computing available for the masses. The average person doesn't have the time to learn how to use a computer. They just want to use it. That in my subjective opinion is a good thing. A very strong, and valid argument could be made that it's a faustian bargain, probably because it is.

Pearson's must have one hell of a contract with educators cause that shit hasn't improved at all in 20 years. One prof we had for multiple courses rallied against it. They eventually gave up and just carried over the grades to the gradebook. It's remarkable how quickly teaching in academia can knock a person down.

There is absolutely a food safety reason to replace a sponge. Most bacteria don't just die when they're in dry nutrient poor environments. They desiccate themselves into a spore form. Those spores can stay like that for very long periods of time until their environment becomes more wet. Then they can continue their lifecycle until they dry out again. Dry doesn't mean sterile.

A good book to pair with 1984 is A Brave New World. They both tackle forms of control but from two different approaches. In A Brave New World there's no need for thought police. Every person is designed and crafted from conception to adulthood to never have a criminal thought.

Beetlejuice wouldn't understand, he's a used car salesman and a bad one at that. He would probably offer under the current market value though. Not even he's that crazy. Ultimately he's in it for the game, not the prize.

More likely than not in my opinion. The depth-of-field is really weird and the background looks like it was generated out of focus rather than authenticly. If you look at the parts of the photo that are in sharp detail there should be a box where things are in focus and things aren't. In this photo that box is curvey, which would be difficult to do in-camera. That suggests at least some level of digital manipulation. Whether that's just touch ups, image compression or outright ai generation I can't answer.

I have the best Jewish friends. They're not strict Jewish, they adapt a lot of the traditions to suit themselves. For example any of the food heavy holiday's they invite their non-Jewish friends over but do most of the religious stuff before we show up. So for me, I get to visit with friends, eat pretty good food (I've learned what to avoid like the unleavened bread), and help them celebrate something that's important to them. They make no expectation for us to actually participate, just respect that they are. It's a good time.

I feel for their kids though, they have to do the 10 hour thing.
