Remember, there are 2 reasons why someone might say something. Either it's the truth, which makes no sense as you pointed out, or it's a convenient lie, which makes perfect sense for someone who benefits from maintaining the status quo while pretending to fight against it. It's well past the time to assume people are telling the truth until proven otherwise. It's time to just straight-up call a politician's lie a lie from the smell alone.

And use unsweetened applesauce instead of eggs! If you get the cheap, bland stuff there's no difference in flavor, and no risk from uncooked eggs!

It was ruined for me when I was getting my masters in genetics and learned that "mitochondria" is plural, and the singular is "mitochondrion." So, it's either "the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell" or "the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell," and neither feel right.

Remember, Trump doesn't say things that are true - or even things he thinks are true - he only says things that he thinks will benefit him to say. So yes, it benefits him to say Jan 6 wasn't domestic terrorism, and that vandalism of his boss' cars is domestic terrorism.

I was lucky that my family had a Mac when I was a kid. I did all my stupid downloading of random .exe files from sketchy sites on a machine that couldn't run them, and by the time I got my own PC in high school, I knew a bit better.

Zero responsibility, no; many did vote for him , but significantly more didn't. If you want to hunt down the people who voted for him, sure, but I voted against him in every election knowing something like this would happen, and I'm not responsible for it. The same can be said of a significant amount of Americans. To lump us all together would be like bombing a hospital full of innocent victims to get at some members of Hamas.

I had my annual review last week, and they told me they base their new hire workload goals on the amount of work I do. I'm happy to do my part in bringing down expectations!

This is a good anecdote about misinformation as well - when someone believes that they have the answer, they often never reassess the situation, which can get to the point where the real answer is staring them right in the face, but they can't see it because they're not looking; why would they? They already know the answer! This is how lies can spread so easily even when easily debunked. Nobody bothers to listen to the debunking.

Glad I could jog your memory! Yeah, I even went so far as to email the current owner of the rights to it about a sequel a few years ago, and basically got the generic "Maybe one day" response.

Try Steambot Chronicles! It's my favorite game of all time by a wide margin, but it's been forgotten by time. It's a really cool adventure game with a ton of different things to do, from piloting a giant robot to playing different musical instruments in a band, to decorating your own little apartment, and a bunch of other stuff! There's a lot of dialogue choices to make too that can affect how people treat you, and lead to a few different endings, including being a hero vs a villain. The graphics and soundtrack are great, too! I can't recommend it enough!

Yeah, I get these every few months or so, and at this point when I feel one coming on I'll automatically start pointing my toes up before I even fully wake up and realize what's happening. That nips it in the bud before the pain starts, and I can go right back to bed.

He did retire. Here he is asleep in his chair like grandpa after thanksgiving dinner. Musk's in charge now.
