To the guy on X asking about Trump's gait, that's a clear sign of frontotemporal dementia. Don't take my word for it, please, have a search for yourself. That's not my take. It's the take a a great many doctors who have talked about this online.

Temper is another sign of dementia. Ex-gf worked the midnight shift at a home for elders with dementia, Alzheimer's and the like. Not all, but most could get angry, if not violent, at the drop of a pin.

This speculation of him having had a stroke (maybe a tiny one?) and Alzheimer's fits neatly under a diagnoses of dementia. Again, do not believe me on this, look for yourself.

Ever used hydrocolloid bandaids? They are the best! Yeah, they're more expensive, and as usual, Band-Aid brand is by far the best. I've used them in the field dozens of times.

Would not use them on puncture wounds and they seal the bacteria in quite nicely. But for surface wounds they're antibacterial and a bandaid all in one.

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until Trump's death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post.

I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realm of Greenland. I pledge my life and honor to Trumps's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

I cannot begin to picture how hard arresting Kelly would fucking backfire. That man is going to fuck around and become a major politician off the back of this bullshit.

Used to laugh about the left stabbing themselves in the dick at every turn, but the conservatives have outpaced them by a mile. And Bannon has thrown all his chips in the pot! 😂

It's so bad the GOP is finally imploding as I predicted in 2016. They're like rats bailing out a sinking ship. The cult leader is dying, clearly, in front of our eyes, physically, and more obviously, mentally. They have to get off this tiger's back and leave space and time to say, "Well, Trump was never really my guy. Uh, he was just a transition to... bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Same goes for the MAGA stormtroopers.

That's not the wishful thinking I see on here daily. (Everyone is ditching Windows for Linux!) You can find 100 timely stories like this:

I hate to be cliche on the subject, but the more I see in the world, the more I honestly wonder if these guys aren't seriously lacking.

He isn't in prison because Trump pardoned him.

No, it's not. It's perfectly normal human behavior.

Lemmy: I'm neurodivergent in 16 different kind of ways which makes me whacky and special and unique!

No, you're not. You're normal. How so very disappointing for you.

LOL, same at my last job! Any tips on updating LinkedIn or job hunting?

I had a gf who lived in a camper in an RV park. She could afford a touch of botox a couple of times a year. She was 50 and looked 40, if not younger. You would have never guessed she did that.

How would you know if you can't discern the cases that look natural?

Welcome to lemmy where every question is 100% or 0%. AI will augment many professions leading to a lower need for such people.

But this isn't shit the base cares about, let alone even knows about. Fox News can hardly crow that Trump is bringing back segregation.

Sounds like a Project 2025 goal more so than appeasing MAGA.

 
 

Feeling it's a dumb question because my brain isn't parsing exactly how this is supposed to work.

Anyone in the UK want to give it a spin?

 

"Why are you striking today dad?"

"No idea, but the plumbers are on strike so the electricians are joining them."

 
 

You say "apple" to me and I'm #1, glossy skin, insides, all that

And how in the hell does one navigate life, or enjoy a book, if they're not a #1?! Reading a book is like watching a movie. I subconsciously assign actor's faces to characters and watch as the book rolls on.

Yet #5's are not handicapped in the slightest. They're so "normal" that mankind is just now figuring out we're far apart on this thing. Fucking weird.

EDIT: Showed this to my wife and she was somewhat mystified as to what I was asking. Pretty sure she's a 5. I get frustrated as hell when I ask her to describe a thing and she's clueless. "Did the radiator hose pop off, or is it torn and cracked?" "I don't know!"

EDIT2: The first Star Wars book after the movie came out was Splinter in the Mind's Eye. I feel like I got that title. What's it mean to you?

 
 
 

Can't be havin' with this.

 

My mechanic sold it to me through some cousin he barely knows. Guy was fixing it for his nephew after the last hurricane chunked some trees through it, gave up. For $3,500, PERFECT!

Ugly as hell*, no worries anyone will try the door handles for goodies. "Meh. This guy's poor." Mechanically? Solid as granite.

Pro tip: Went for new plugs and wires to Advanced Auto, $145. Nope. Amazon, $46. Rear pads? AutoZone: $48. Amazon: $18 for Bendix pads (which reviewers outside of Amazon like?)

Anyway, it's my own, personal YT-1300 light freighter. "Don't worry. She'll hold together… Hear me, baby? Hold together."

* Funny pic. That was the end of a record snowstorm, in NW Florida. My town got the all-time high score at 10"! See what happens when global warming beats the polar vortex into loops? Yeah.
