Don’t ignore things like chair and desk height. Using the mouse your arm and shoulder wants to be relaxed. Not having to be supported by your muscles because you’re lifting your arm.

Don’t wait to see. Just lead.

Are you talking about the same device? Op is talking about a Chromecast, not an android TV.

The government forced twitter (as was) and meta to push government lines during COVID, silencing and expelling all other voices. That was well received by many.

Is it the total ban of the platform that takes it over the line?

I find it interesting that people here appear to be valuing the “free speech” aspects of tiktok, but Meta has been hounded this week for the change in its moderation this week leaving it much more up to the community and less autocratic.

Hydrocarbons. Carbohydrates are in bread, pasta and potatoes.

He’s not scared of NATO. It’s in his way to rebuilding the Russian empire. He’s legacy building and he wants to be Peter the Great.

I don’t think there’s a previous period to compare it to. The US has gone through isolationist periods before (eg 1930s) but never dictatorship.

Neither are perfect organisations but both are trying to help people in desperate situations.

My sound is always that of a cynic.

I think I would have preferred to just manifest as a being of energy that could take corporal form at will.

Would have been a lot easier on my mum.

The last decade has brought a lot of clarity to me on this. People follow the herd and are tribal. If a movement gains enough momentum, most people will go along with it even if it’s “against their principles”. There are very few people that will stand up in front of an advancing hoard and say “Stop! This is wrong.”

I suspect Nazi Germany was the same. Most people will have accepted what was happening as the price of an easy life, and it wasn’t until it was too late that they realised what had happened.
