I'll take some responsibility here

"Violently high" is kind of funny, like saying you'll get seditiously lazy later

Also been on the internet too long... was searching for a goatse

I can re-see it if I hide the fork tines

Where did you find it?

It's discussed here:

The woman at the town hall explained that her representatives are not responsive to her questions, even as she repeatedly calls Sen. Marsha Blackburn. When she reached staff at Sen. Bill Hagerty’s office, they told her, “he’s not obligated to listen to his constituents.”

The entitlement on display, hopefully this makes it into the history books

I see what you mean, and I hope you're right.

Thanks for explaining! That's very encouraging.

I see your point, but it still feels like press bait to me. Is there any way what gets released can be verified to be authentic? I have seen one or two MAGA supporters speaking out over it, but I have serious doubts they won't return after a trivial capitulation like this. What I'd love to see is engagement from people who didn't vote, I want to see protest crowds getting bigger. I understand your frustration, but I think it's valid to try to absorb the other news as well.

I guess it doesn't really need to be something worse -- they have full control over the narrative, and the WH clearly won't actually release anything meaningful, so keeping it in the news is a huge attention magnet with practically no downside. Maybe an extra week of all other news getting buried is worth it. Maybe it's a favor to that CEO who got caught cheating at a Coldplay concert. I get the impression that when he does something weirdly out-of-character it's a misdirection, so I'll look at page two of the news for awhile.

Distraction from something worse, probably.

Sounds like a globe made of hands

Yeah! Where's my Dvorak mobile tactile keyboard?

I think I see your point, you're saying what I'm calling "bloat" isn't necessarily useless, right? Sure, but that still kind of supports my point -- they include software/features by default that aren't necessary and should be opt-in instead of opt-out regardless of how easy it is to set up. That's the dictionary definition of bloatware, and they have a lot of it. I'm not trying to say it's a terrible OS, but it is definitely bloated.

The whole point of LTSC is reduced bloat and increased stability for enterprise customers -- doesn't the existence of a bloat-free version tell you all you need to know? They don't seem to have an issue selling enterprise software, but the users on the home versions definitely suffer from bloat and choices they never asked for.

Did you mean to paste a source link for that quote?

Slight correction -- it's The Satanic Temple, not at all to be confused with the Church of Satan.

Adds a new meaning to "Moist" Cr1TiKaL for me
