This should be a joke but with the gullibility of his most devoted followers and how far computer generated images and video have come, this is a real possibility.

That looks like it.

That's likely exactly what it is.

I get what you are saying but keep in mind that he has been losing his ability to stay composed for awhile now and it seems to be gaining speed. He is sundowning as we watch. I doubt he will be mentally capable of campaigning in a few months. He literally just told the world that Biden took a shit in the oval office, just when you think he can't get more unhinged, he proves you wrong.

I'm not sure where to find it now but some clinical psychologists or psychiatrists (iirc) gave a pretty decent breakdown of how trump is breaking down mentally.

Be gone spammer

Because we have stopped teaching people anything in school. I learned critical thinking, civics, etc. Most people don't. Schools just push kids through because the funding isn't there and a lot of parents are assholes who don't want to raise their own kids nor teach them anything. They let the schools do it and the teachers don't have the time nor the resources to make up for shit parenting.

We need to stop infantilizing people. Yes, corporations are at fault but so are the people who fall for the bullshit. It's not Pepsi or McDonald's fault that people are overweight, it's their own fault and their parents and society for not teaching them what's what.

This shit is why I don't interact much on social media as a whole. It's full of jackasses who think that we should be basically living under a dictator because most people can't tie their own shoes without help. People can handle a lot more than you think but they have to be taught how.

I say the above as someone who questions how most people are walking and breathing at the same time. Generations have let future generations down and the masses keep getting dumber because we let them.

Okay, now I'm blocking you because you have no idea what words actually mean.

You have no idea which end is up, nor what you don't actually understand.

Have a nice life now.

You're infantilizing people. Instead of treating them like toddlers, maybe we should be educating people and teaching them some critical thinking skills.

You may know how the net works but you apparently can't read well because the last sentence of that comment is probably the most important.

Exactly. And you can't be surprised when a company that also runs a search engine and ad network stores that data for other purposes.

I rarely jump in on things like this because of the lack of understanding of how things actually work as well as the inevitable responses like from OP and someone else I just responded to.

To repeat for those who may not get it just yet. Private browsing on FF and incognito mode on chrome are specifically for use when you use a shared pc or someone else's system to check your email or whatever. It's always been designed to protect locally not from the greater web.

I don't remember ever seeing or hearing anything from Google about this mode hiding data from them.

You need to step back and actually read what I am saying. You need to also learn a lot more about how the internet works.

Again. Read my entire comment and then give it time to sink in.

Why doesn't this surprise me?

I think you misread me.

I never thought that these modes were protecting me from anything except those who shared the same pc. Apparently I am the only one who understands the way the internet works and that nothing you do or any software you run on your system can stop every website and server you interact with or that passes on your data packets to the next server from logging everything it can about you.

How do people think that sites like reddit cross check and correlate data from users to find those with multiple accounts that are attempting to evade bans? There is so much data that we don't even know we are creating.

I'm all for privacy and anonymity when and where it makes sense but it seems like people here have no idea what the difference between the two are and just how difficult it is and how much extra friction it brings to attempt to be completely anonymous and private via a system designed to connect people.

Am I the only one who never thought that incognito mode or the equivalent on FF was protecting me from anything other than anyone else who may use the same pc? I don't share my pc with anyone so I only use those modes when I think a website is acting up because of previously stored cookies, credentials or my various script blockers.

Oh, I'm aware of the origins of webos and palm. I still have an old palm pilot sitting around somewhere. One or both of the battery coils broke and I never got around to fixing it.

As for the TVs. I'm fairly certain that while LG os is based on webos, they made some modifications to it and maintain it, somewhat.

OP is talking about LG, afaik they roll their own os. Probably not enough demand for whoever is behind the app to make it available on that os

Probably because the app isn't available for the os the TV is running. Your best bet is to not buy a "smart" TV unless it's running android. If you happen to already have a "smart" TV, buy something like the shield and you can run all apps available for android without being stuck with the shitty os on whatever TV you have.

Can't find anything on Biden so go after his son. That's classy folks, keep it up. Keep licking trumps a-hole. This country has gone to shit and you are part of the cause.

Considering trump is a useful idiot for putin and others, it's useful idiots all the way down.

This goes in the (no shit sherlock) pile. Those of us who have been paying attention and saw the instant flip from red scare to licking putins asshole have known this for a good couple of decades now.

That doesn't answer the question. Where are you located on the planet? I've never seen it around here (NC USA) and I've never seen anyone talking about it online (before you) and I've never had anyone talk about it irl.
