I wish I remembered where I read it so I could attribute it, but I saw someone describe Trump not as a liar but as a bullshitter. It's not that he lies. It's that he has no regard, one way or another, for whether what he is saying is a lie or not. He simply has a thought and recites it. It's so effortless for him to lie because, from his perspective, it's the same as telling the truth. If this is true, the pattern you've identified could be merely chance based on the probability that any random thought a person has is more likely to be wrong than right when they are incapable of learning new information.
I got my first PC in the mid 90s. 1st task was to take it apart, but after that, I first learned about the internet through friends, and we had a few computers at school in the library or the BASIC programming classrooms. My primary uses were the Blizzard chat rooms and playing OC starcraft with my friends (though we'd usually just get together at someone's house and LAN for that.) I had AOL for a while, but couldn't really afford it and neither could my parent. There was a thing called netZero I used for quite a while...it was free dial-up internet that displayed an ad banner on your desktop, but it wasn't very intrusive, especially if you had a crazy high resolution (crazy high at the time being > 480x768). My primary uses were picking 2-3 mp3s to download overnight while I slept so nobody would pick up the phone and disconnect the internet, sharing dangerous and stupid amounts of personal info to basically anyone on IRC that asked (a/s/l anyone?), playing around with kitchy little hacker tools (one of my favorites allowed you to attach a malicious executable to your picture you'd send to people that would allow to do goofy shit like open their cd rom or flip their screen upside down). My mom's only complaint about the internet was when she couldn't use the phone (so I mostly browsed late at night). It was harder to find things, and there wasn't much content...what was out there was just text since even images took 10s of seconds to download sometimes. Security and parental controls (beyond fear mongering) were practically non-existant and even when someone's parents were competent enough to try and lock it down, most of the pare tal controls could be overridden with the local admin account, which we all knew the passwords to because we had install the stuff our parents wanted on the computer anyway.
Good question, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Animals don't taste the same way we do. For example, cats don't have the receptors for tasting sweet things...so they can barely detect sweetness at all.
Dogs only have 25% as many taste buds as humans, so most things have a very mutes taste for them. Plus, every dog I've ever had absolutely LOVED cat shit covered in kitty litter, so I never put much faith in their sense of taste.
Yeah, they'll have flavors they like more or less, just like us, but even we can't trust our sense of taste as a metric for nutrition...if we could, we'd all be addicted to brocolli and spinach instead of processes foods and sugar.
I don't know, to be honest. I think they taste better, but I know it could be purely psychological... They're my chickens, after all. I do think the shells are sturdier (not sure if it's thickness or composition) when they have more bugs to eat. I don't know about any claims regarding nutritional differences, but the eggs themselves do have some noticeable and measurable differences.
100%. If you break a store egg and a farm egg next to each other, especially in the spring when the chickens start having access to insects again, the farm egg is almost cartoonishly orange next to the store egg.
Even unrealistic depictions of children in a sexual context is considered CSAM.
In the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court has defined child pornography as material that "visually depicts sexual conduct by children below a specified age"
I've been a poll worker for several years now in the midwest... The number of times I hear women here asking their husband to remind them who they're supposed to vote for is... disheartening.
"Weird" feels like it'd only an insult if you're obsessed with conformity or you believe there should be in (normal) and out (weird) groups that dictate how you're allowed to exist in society.
Makes the word a pretty good litmus test, too. If you tell someone they're kinda weird, and they're that upset about it... maybe a red flag?
It's like running away from a bear... you don't have to outrun the bear, just the other people running from the bear. If someone wants your identity, they're probably gonna get it if they're determined enough. The way these hacks usually work, though, is you just buy a chunk of the data, maybe 10k records. Then, they use automated tools to try and open accounts under those ID records. If it fails, no biggie, they just move on to the next record.

I didn't feel like I was doing it justice, so I found the sauce...from fucking 2015. https://newrepublic.com/article/124803/donald-trump-not-liar
