But, I want my Charmin Extra Soft toilet paper! Don’t you remember the bad days during the pandemic! Where Osama Kamala Biden didn’t protect us from price gouging and store runs!!

Too real.

In the same vein as your response, I’ve heard people say that they start dreaming in the other language, too, and understanding it. Being a monolinguist myself, I can’t speak with any authority, but my understanding is when you stop thinking about what you say and you’re just saying it, combined with the dreaming in it, is a good identifier.

People who say that they speak whatever random number of languages but it’s only memorized sayings…? Yeah, that’s not* the same thing, you guys.

Edit: I’m married to a Puerto Rican who works in interpretation and translation, just for my credentials here. In one of our last minor tiffs she did mention something about me not learning Spanish and how she felt some kind of way about it… but, hey. Languages are difficult, and there are plenty of relationships where a partner didn’t learn the language and it’s not a big deal. I’m busy and stressed out with work.

No, but that same dude launched chicken tenders at a crowd over the weekend.

It took reading the comment in the image for me to finally see that the shark was jumping out of the water and not stuck in ice.

The ROI is the destruction of a social media platform that enabled global protest and solidarity movements toward equality and equity of the lower and middle classes against our global elite; anti hijab movements, women’s equal rights in Muslim countries, black lives matters in western countries, the revolution in France over the retirement age, to name a few.

Edit: and let’s not forget the impact this has had on growing conservative movements, increased foreign interference in US politics, and the weakening of western democracy.

He has to satisfy the guys they fronted him the billions he needed to buy and destroy Twitter.

Election workers are afraid, some are quitting and being replaced with stooges. We can say that these campaigners are also shaken. You and I can’t put ourselves in their shoes and understand how this may affect them psychologically. Look at the news reporting that Trump has been shaken and is possibly losing it after each attempt on his life.

META: Also, FlyingSquid responded to me!!! Ahhhh!!!

I mean, terrorism doesn’t require anyone getting hurt or any significant amount of damage. It’s to strike fear and disrupt. This… does just that.

They hadn’t bribed him enough that time. It should be blatantly obvious to everyone that he will do or say anything anyone wants if they pay him enough. He’s bought, and that’s a huge national security risk. No security expert would ever willingly provide him with a security clearance, but here the brain dead half* of Americans go with attempting to re-elect the guy who sold Israel’s nuclear secrets for 2 billion dollars after leaving office.

You sound like you know what you’re talking about… and I just bought a 24 pack of the below linked item to replace the ones that burn out in my house. Could you point me in the direction of non-dimmable long lasting/better quality lights of the below?

But, competition also spurs growth and innovation. With China going all in on the game, too, we may see more US politically motivated investment to stay ahead in the game vs our global enemies.
