Interesting. Today Reddit sent a new TOS letter to an old email address (I don't have any Reddit accounts because fuck u/spez). The username it referenced was created today. I've never used this address with Reddit and don't have any confirmation emails in my box or spam indicating someone else tried to create this account. I changed the password and deleted the account, but I have to wonder if they might be trying to boost their subscriber numbers for an IPO.

I went to grade school in Mississippi, (Air Force brat, 1970's) and here are some fun facts:

  • The day started with the class reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and then singing "Dixie."
  • Every classroom had a paddle hanging near the blackboard. The principle and many of the teachers also had a paddle handing off of their belt.
  • The "That's a Paddlin' " bit on the Simpsons was a 100% accurate representation of my first day in school
  • The Mississippi schools were about 6 months ahead of the Utah schools I came from and they made me do a lot of the homework assigned before I got there.

Not surprising. I had some cousins in Florida who were taught in school that the south "technically" won the war. They never could quite explain it, but absolutely believed it.

Seems reasonable. Where do I put in my social security number and mother's maiden name?

On Mastodon I heard them referred to as "Twatzis" and "Hoes for Hitler" and I almost pissed my pants.

FAST can help to identify a possible stroke but the lack of FAST symptoms doesn't rule out a stroke. So CVA/TIA is still a possibility along with a dozen other things.

Questions it? The answer to that question has been thoroughly documented.

And it's not going to change until younger voters start showing up on election day.

Coming Soon: "Nikki Haley endorses tRump"

Iran's goal is to damage or sink an American warship without being directly culpable and without risking their own people.

I just went back to Edge from Firefox. I've been a long-time user, but it seems like too many of the sites I use don't work properly and some not at all. It sucks because I've always preferred FF, but I gotta get sh*t done.

Yup. They refused to pay me for my comments and posts so I overwrote and deleted them all before deleting my account.

Wanna bet?

Hundreds of thousands will still vote for him.

What!?!? Why won't people pay for a $3500 device that might give you neck pain but allows you to browse the web, watch videos, or...um...browse the web for 2 hours at a time?

"MAGA grifter" seems like it might be a good side hustle.

I'm not blaming as much as pointing out that the people most affected are the least likely to vote. They'd rather complain about "boomers" on social media

It doesn't prevent many of them from doing bad things. They think they will be forgiven as long as they are believers.

Pout away. 😂

They don't show on election day either. They have it within their grasp to change everything. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/voter-turnout-rate-by-age-usa

That's likely what will happen and the DNC would be stupid not to accept the will of NH's voters. The interesting part is that NH independents can vote in either primary. So many (myself included) are considering voting in the republican primary to take votes away from trump.

Independents in NH are the ones who move the needle. Not respecting the will of NH's voters would be a stupid, stupid, STUPID move on the part of the DNC.

"The DNC doesn't give a fuck about you!" would be a great talking point for the GOP.

iphone. They're solid and they get updates forever so there is no rush to upgrade. I don't miss Android and not getting updates 6 months after I buy the phone.

Right? It shocks me to this day. They were at least 6 mos behind the MS schools.

Fanboi detected!   😂 Android phones vary in how many updates they will get based on manufacturer and price point of the phone. Google guarantees 4 years...that it. Others only reliably update flagship phones. I like the Android operating system, but the update situation is still largely a joke...as is the bloat in most Android phones.

If you buy a non-flagship android you may get zero updates. I'm not hating on Android, but the update situation remains a joke for most Android phones.

..and my axe!

Still the lowest percentage. I hope they keep making gains!

I like the part where you proved my comments wrong...oh wait...

Nothing. Anything that happens to me happens for my benefit, even if I can't see it at that time.
