Grandma still votes now though.

I don’t blame them for not understanding 40 years ago, but I do blame them for not understanding now. Older generations still contain the majority of climate deniers and other heel draggers, and their votes make a big difference.

I mean yeah you’re not wrong, but physical media doesn’t last forever either. Vinyl is pretty good, but pretty much every form of digital storage will slowly waste away without some dedicated upkeep effort. Unless you’re really willing to put in some serious effort maintaining a personal digital archive it kind of is just better to treat everything as a lease.

The only thing that really worries me are stuff like family photos and videos, and other important digital documents. Yeah I can print some of them, and I should do that more, but on the other hand they’re probably safer from destruction with Google than they are in my house. Both would be best though.

Thanks! Yeah I got a Logitech vertical mouse a while back and it was a game changer.

Or you could try reading what was actually said properly, rather than making up something different that wasn’t said by anyone except you.

Coming up with something even more inefficient isn’t a win.

Then you missed the whole point.

I think him in a courtroom will be different, perhaps startlingly so. He won’t be able to just say whatever he wants, he’ll have to actually try to make a logical coherent case. Which, being impossible for him personally, means that I think we will not hear much from him. His legal team will do most of the talking, if he has any brains at all.

On the other hand I kind of feel like if a house can be female and a car can be male then there can’t really be much argument against using whatever gender any human prefers for themselves.
