That's good. My first instinct would've been that what's in toothpaste is plenty.

For one it's not a full, real backup strategy. That's supposed to include multiple tiers.

Also it's instantly synced, so if I bonk my stuff locally, it could be bonked over there and history might not be able to save me depending on the situation.

And I guess if Dropbox dies my data dies.

Some people take their data seriously enough to worry about that kind of stuff. I don't.

Expectations.

People don't expect a country that's supposed to be a close ally to do actual pure evil.

Russia has always been in a different category. It's oscillated between being an outright enemy and being a distant, somewhat-ally the West is suspicious of. Either way, Putin was never someone you trust.

When someone betrays your expectations, you have a stronger emotional response.

When you feel like your country is actually helping with evil acts, that's another layer of emotional response.

But if someone you feel like you can't do anything about and has always been bad anyway is being evil, again... Well it's a bit of a "no shit, Sherlock" moment. Doesn't spark anger in quite the same way.

Weren't people a bit more positive about monarchy back when Elizabeth II was alive? I feel like she had a sort of mystique that made her feel more legit for some reason.

I like to annoy my IT friends by saying my backup strategy is chucking what little important data I have in my free Dropbox account.

It's not even that important; I don't care!

Once i completely forgot the salt in my bread. It was disgustingly bland; like, I couldn't believe a teaspoon of salt would have such a massive effect.

But I actually salvaged it by putting salt on every slice of toast I made with that loaf.

It worked out okay!

What does debloating entail exactly?

What the hell. I've never seen such an issue. Microsoft is so considerate; they provide us with cool little surprises like that from time to time. ♥️

I like my pizza with lots of sauce, way more vegetables than crust, and cheese is actually optional.

I don't care what the purists think. I like what I like and it's valid.

I really don't think their version was minimizing anything. Just less specific.

I think I may have always mispronounced one or both of these then.

Man, English pronunciation, I swear.
