Ordinarily I feel slightly bad, but for once I'm so glad about someone being eternally tied to a stale meme

PopUpOff gets rid of the box on most sites without having to give your consent. Can't remember the last time an annoying cookie disclaimer blocked me from web content.

Seconded. Limit your screentime and filter out any communities and social media that seem like a broken record. Energy is a must if the 50501 movement is going to continue.

Nothing Trump has ever said has been "confidential" 😂

He could make a tweet saying he's going to destroy the continent with a deathray tomorrow, and MAGA fascists would make a tiktok dance to celebrate it. There's no Watergate this time around, only Leopard's All-you-can-eat face buffet™

Yes, but actually no.

Children, regardless of "magical thinking" naturally do not possess cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is a learned skill instilled into them by other adults. Everytime a kid asks "what's wrong with daddy?" when he's lying on the floor after having too much to drink, and the housewife replies "he's just sleeping honey, now stop asking stupid questions" we gradually learn to deny our senses, critical thinking and reasoning skills. Children don't need statistics or scientific journal entries, they can sense when something is wrong. If they see one of these protests outside on the way to the grocery store with mommy they can put two and two together without having to turn on CNN. Yet full grown adults can convince themselves a new pizza parlor must be opening.

A child's mind is better at discerning nonsense from the truth than you realize. It is we who repeatedly teach them that they are wrong.
