I'll give it a shot. I have always been a big fan of swipe to text. But lately the autocorrect options have been shit anyway. I don't know if its Google to blame or if its Motorola that has too small of a side bezel causing my palms to create a fake swipe.

I feel like in the current climate of attitudes towards the super wealthy, they're taking steps to insulate themselves from "the commoners" like us.

Yes I know it's been that way forever; gated communities, etc... heck, even castles if you go back far enough.

But this new private jet thing seems like now even moderately wealthy people, those who would have likely in the past just flown first class, are trying to insulate themselves from a growing mob.

This is likely an unconscious throwback to his youth.

I grew up on an acreage that still had older phone lines. And long distance used to be super spotty at times. Speaking louder used to be literally necessary to get past the static and interference in long distance calls.

It's amazing how far communications have come even since the 80s when I was a kid.

Cool. Thanks! TIL.

The VAST majority of them won't get off their fat-ass any more than they did on J6.

Yes, the J6 crowd wasn't small by any means, but they weren't an "army" in any sense of the word, they were a mob of stupid and violent people.

Civil war requires planning, and most Maga followers aren't capable of anything more complex than ranting on social media.

I love that quote. We need more Sagan's and fewer Rogans.

The more important question to me is why the hell the church of alien mumbo-jumbo has a cross on top of it....

This presumes that Reddit is populated by so-called experts answering questions and posting in those subs.

But the vast overwhelming truth is that most people pretending to be experts are just regurgitating the answers they heard from another reddit post, and so on, and so on.

You might as well just train your AI on the "confidently incorrect" sub and call it a day.

Beetlejuice and Big Fish. Big Fish is low key one of his best works that for some reason doesn't seem to be remembered much.

OBS does this extremely well. It would be the one I would go to.

Pop Rocks, mouth, coca cola.

That was immediately my first thought as well.
