Dude, if you think this is bad, I can only hope for your sake that you don't ever stumble into Bing's news aggregator... Literally every. single. article. that has anything to say regarding man-made climate change that doesn't shoot sunbeams and happy straight up your asshole somehow ends up with a good 3 or 4:1 downvote to upvote ratio within minutes of posting. It's fucking disgusting, tbh.

The comments on these articles are also generally all some variation of one of the following: Someone questioning how Biden is making money off of this (🙃); Accusations of malfeasance or corruption on the part of scientists and/or science itself; "Nuh uh, cuz God didn't say so" as a rebuttal to climate data; "It's being done on purpose by the sun/libs/terrorists/Biden/Santa Claus"; "There wasn't any extreme weather when TRUMP was president"; "It's all a hoax to take your guns, somehow"; or, my two personal favorites, "The planet goes through these cycles naturally and nothing humans could do is capable of altering the climate" which is almost always followed shortly by "We'll have the technology to fix it by the time it gets really bad in 50-100 years, even though it's not going to ever get that bad because it's a hoax perpetuated by the libs and scientists to make money by selling.... Something, probably"

What the fuck is "tosh"?

Only the ones their friend(s) own, though. Gotta steal from the poor to give to the rich somehow, after all. And - added bonus - no more worrying about children being taught pesky things like the blacks are people too, that being gay isn't an affront to God, or the downright silliness of anthropogenic climate change.

My friend, one does not live in such a place, one merely exists.

So, I recently attempted to use this cheap little bluetooth keyboard/trackpad combo that I have in conjunction with Liftoff and encountered an issue rendering it essentially unusable. Unfortunately, I don't have any other BT input devices to test with to check if it's just some sort of wonkiness between this particular one and Liftoff, but I did try it with another device and other apps on the same phone without issue, so I'm reasonably sure it's not a hardware problem at least.

At any rate, the issue I'm seeing manifests when you have a textbox selected in Liftoff and attempt to input text via a bluetooth keyboard - Every keystroke appears to try to close the on-screen keyboard, which the Liftoff app apparently isn't cool at all with, as it immediately tries to reopen it again. This causes the screen to bounce up and down like crazy, which could still be workable (assuming a sufficient level of confidence in your typistry) if it didn't also cause things to bog down and lose the odd character here and there, as well.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Or perhaps have a fix even? Cuz I've kinda reached the bounds of my troubleshooting expertise as far as bluetooth and bluetooth accessories are concerned and I'm out of ideas.

I haaaate this shit, and have since I was a kid. I actually recently had a discussion with my gf (both of us in our 30s) along these lines, though I more specifically asked her if she could think of a scene in any media in which the story just absolutely could not move forward without one of those stupid, bawdy, explicit sex scenes, and neither of us could think of one.

Because they can afford to buy legislators and we can't

Well, to be fair, she isn't guilty of manslaughter; I completely agree with that...

50 Cent's success as a business man suddenly starts making a lot more sense, eh?

Well, it survived all 11 years of my tenure so...
