    This country, possibly your grandfathers or great-grandfathers (and in many cases grandmothes), went to war against Nazis, as did most of the world. There were a few fringe sympathizers, but they weren't representative of "the greatest generation."

    This shit is a new Nazi wave, and it's not a continuation of something. It's a flare-up of an old ugly root. All over the world these shits are gaining ground. New media empowers them.

    Wow, what a story 😬 I wonder how many of these there are? Of course they want to keep them out of the public, but damn. Even one is too much.

    "...cases like Hoovers are one-offs..."

    Ummm, CASES LIKE THIS??? THERE'S MORE???

    The letter’s author said she saw Hoover begin “thrashing” around on the operating table as well as start “crying visibly”, according to NPR.

    Fucking horror show.

    Everyone, throughout the history of humanity, has had to put forth effort to stay alive. Except for a rare few.

    Why do we expect anything different today?

    Always intended, I'm guessing. As soon as Ben Franklin realized the power to sway public opinion he must have known.

    He wasn't a stupid person.

    What's your pet peeve when it comes to tropes? What bothers you when you see it in a show or a movie?

    I'll go first. Mine is the instant knockout drug. Like ***Dexter's*** intramuscular injection that causes someone to immediately lose consciousness. Or in the movie ***Split*** where there's the aerosol spray in your face that makes you instantly unconscious. Or pretty much any time someone uses chloroform.

    Maybe a bit too mellow at times? Somewhat self-indulgent with all the chord changes? But unavoidably good. Really good. Some of the rhymes are a bit facile. There's a criticism for you.

    I wake up, I eat, I read a little, I go back to sleep. I wake up, I eat, I read a little, watch a show with my wife, go back to sleep. I try not to eat more than 1500 calories because my activity level is so low I'll get fat if I go above that. What's the end game here? ***EDIT, FOR CLARITY:*** I can't work. I need to sleep like 14 hours a day. I'm exhausted all the time. I get fatigued after about 5 to 10 minutes worth of any labor, including things like going upstairs or loading a dishwasher. My hands shake all the time, to where I can almost not clip my own fingernails anymore. I work a job for years and retired from it there's plenty of money coming in. I just find myself in a place now where this chronic, undefined illness has taken over my life.

    I don't know the problem, but my laptop consistently displays the wrong time. Right now it is telling me that the time in UTC is 2315 when it's actually 1815. The only way for me to get the correct time to show on my laptop is to set my time zone to Hawaii (I live in the central). Anybody know what the hell is going on? ***SOLVED!*** I was setting up an alternate NTP client as suggested by [@comador@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/comador) in their response, after trying their other suggestions in order, and the command kept rejecting because the Windows Time Service wasn't running. So I opened services.msc and sure enough windows time services is set to manual and not running. So I said it to automatic and ran it, restarted the computer for good measure. And voila, the correct UTC time, the correct local time, everything fixed.

    When cowboys would be sitting on their front porch or at the local bar outside talking with nothing to do, they would sometimes take their pistols and shoot at cow pies or horse poop lying in the street or across the way. This became known as "shooting the shit." When they were hunting fur, a hunter might point out what they thought was a beaver or another valuable small animal, but upon further inspection would sometimes say, "Aw, that's just bullshit."

    Edit: NOTE, I am the ***receiver*** of the texts. So many people asking me to have my wife do something different on her end. Beloved, she is on iPhone because she doesn't want to do anything "weird." She is texting from her phone number using her texting app. That's what's going to happen. Now, why can't I get iMessage on my android phone? If it's just a messenger app why not make it available for Android? I'd use it.

    Not much to it really. The "mystery" didn't develop much, there wasn't a sense of suspense, the "mystery solving" sequences didn't solve much, the acting wasn't good, there wasn't any sense of evil on the satanism. Really blah. A waste of time for real horror fans, IMHO.

    My reflection isn't quite right either. Slightly different when I stare at it, like it can't maintain composure over time. I think it's changing when I look away, just brief catches at times, nothing I can really pin down.

    The same way it does in Google maps, and in Waze. But I can't seem to find a setting on the phone that will do that for any other apps, and I can't find any information through internet searches that leave me that direction. As usual, they show me what they think I ought to be looking for, which is how to lock an app. Not the question I asked, Google (or anybody else). Is it impossible or does anybody have a tip? Not looking to go down the unlocking my phone root access path either. It's not that big a deal, I could turn on trusted devices, or extend unlock, but those aren't the solutions I'm looking for.

    The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human? That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.

    They are definitely less discriminating than you are. They'll accept many inferior sticks. They also sometimes will have "stick babes" who show up with any old stick just to boost their profiles or something. But there are some gems from all over the world, and I often spend a long time browsing there.
