I’m going to be living overseas for family reasons for the next several years. I’m starting to wonder if I’ll even have a country to come back to.

Yeah, I remember what he was like in the 80s. While I still wouldn’t call it mentally sharp, there does seem to have been a decline recently. Moreover, saying he isn’t as sharp as he once was doesn’t necessarily imply that he was all that sharp before. Perhaps I took a bit of a cheap shot.

Imagine thinking that Trump was once mentally sharp.

Cool how about you and all your followers go wander around in the desert for 40 years.

A thousand times as much RAM as my 2nd computer.

This is the kind of stuff you see on a Netflix series and think, "OK they've really jumped the shark this time."

I know a guy like that too. Okay, it’s me. I have to ask the doctor to let me be lying down when I get a shot. But at least it’s not as embarrassing as passing out in the little chair and have a 115 lb. nurse trying to hold me up before I hit the floor. That has happened more than once.

Good thing they were keeping tabs on him.

I think they’re making decisions based on who takes them on the fanciest yacht trip.

Honestly my first thought was snow shed but when I saw the nature bridge comments I was like oh derp yah that’s it. The slope isn’t steep enough to warrant a snow shed.

Yah and cold fusion is right around the corner.

They honestly never bothered me too much but I have to say if they ever succeed in defeating the ad blockers it will be hard to go back now that I've seen this side.

Honestly, I never bothered to install an ad blocker before today. I just figured ads were tolerable. This move by YouTube got me to switch to firefox and install ublock origin and oh my is it glorious. I can wait 5 seconds for my video to start since I am used to ads anyway.

If these fears are new you haven’t been paying attention.

I want him to get the help that he needs. Not because I sympathize with him to any degree (I don’t). But because I want him to stop ruining everything.

I don’t think there will be much damage. It’s not as though this were some huge surprise. The only people left on X agree with him or don’t care enough to mildly adjust their habits. I saw that IBM “paused” their ads, but I’d bet a nickel they will resume them once this blows over. They know what Xitter is. All the corporations know and don’t care. This very article on the NYT website has a button to share it on Twitter.

I wish them both complete success in this endeavor.

Can they speed it up a bit?

Ah, the old “Why are you hitting yourself?” defense.

Well. He is.
