To be fair, I think most of USA is on recreational drugs, legal, illegal, or “prescription”. That shouldn’t matter as much compared to his other actions.

The problem is systemic, it didn’t start with Trump. He’s just way more flagrant.

Let OP decide. Maybe they put the real life that feels tragic in perspective, and it could help with depression.

I think moon dust doesn’t qualify as an allergen because breathing sharp glass dust is not something people are supposed to do without harm. IIRC ithings that are intrinsically irritant, like smoke or pepper, don’t qualify as allergens.

How young a child? My cactus could outthink any newborn.

In an ideal world, investors (and big shareholders) would be interviewed to see if they’re committed to the thing they’re investing on. “Have millions make me billions” or being a nepo baby shouldn’t be valid reasons. This is why every thing they touch converges to enshittification.

He could have been imprisoned for life, I think that went well.

This was clear since such a big and supposedly effective intelligence apparatus failed to stop or warn about the Hamas attack that gave Israel pretext to go full ethnic cleaning and warmongering.

They knew, they allowed it, and paid a modest price in Israeli casualties to kickstart their plan. Also, Ukraine was attracting all the war funding, they couldn’t risk USA reducing their military allowance.

I hate that USA is enabling them, and at the same time being hipocritical about wanting a peaceful solution. Cut their funding if you want to stop them. Freeze their assets like NATO did with Russia. Act, don’t talk.

Trump has as much charisma as a chewed bubble gum. I don’t understand why that many people voted him. Twice.

It’s common that VIP and celebrity conscriptions, where military service is voluntary, are mostly a propaganda stunt.

While the propaganda entices young people to go to the battle front because someone has to go, It’s also very common for celebrities to be sheltered from any real harm, since that could be detrimental to conscription.

OTOH, it’s understandable given the endless apettite tech has for profiling people. The Fediverse is not Big Tech, but Big Tech wants all the data anyway, and given its open nature, it will get it eventually. Temporary accounts are a way to make it a bit harder for Big Tech, at the cost of making it worse for legitimate users.

If the Fediverse had some protection against data greed, maybe less people would be wary of leaving a long data trail. The best it can do so far is using nicknames and multiple accounts.

Spanish is redundant. One house is “la casa”, several are “las casas”. It pluralizes both articles and nouns.

Also, like English, nouns are pluralized with several suffixes, but the rules are very clear. Any Spanish speaker can pluralize correctly nouns they’ve never seen before, none of that octopi/octopuses, virii/viruses weirdness.
