Comment on Joe Biden decision surprised most US TV news networks: How CBS, MSNBC and more scrambled to cover bombshell in ~tv

People aren’t interested in Joe Biden’s boring brand of politics so, although they were pretending to care about his mental state and his health (which, by all accounts is fine but also still that of an 81 year old man), the media wants Trump for the sensationalism and stories that he brings to the table every day. It keeps people engaged and it keeps people tuning into their channels every day to find out what’s happening now.

I think, in general, I’m finding that whatever we’ve done for the last few years as a society has led to us becoming less thoughtful. The facade is everywhere and, once you see the cracks, it’s hard not to notice it everywhere.

You don’t just release the info you know the soonest, you do a comprehensive audit of the entire protection plan and who was responsible for what parts. Politicians are not the target audience of these investigations, that’s why they get summaries. They need to be in the know but that’s it. These reports are for people like the director to determine where the gaps were so they can be fixed for next time.
Our government is a dog and pony show and it’s getting a bit tiring.

Nothing gets resolved by this person resigning, the exact same teams still exist in the Secret Service, none of the deficiencies that led to the attempt are resolved, the local police who lapsed in their jobs are not held accountable, and we lose a ton of institutional knowledge and expertise…but a handful of people will feel better.
America maintains a facade of the highest degree but it is crumbling.

Every media outlet is drawing the wildest conclusions from the tiniest amount of info and it’s all to try and grab people’s attention for clicks and dollars. It’s exhausting getting boomeranged back and forth.

Comment on Framework Laptop 16, six months later in ~tech
dpkonofa Link ParentYes. The flaws and things they have to look past/gloss over to even get it to 6/10 are things that no normal consumer will ever accept in a laptop.

This will only sell to people who are techies that are ok with having to constantly fidget with pieces, plugging things in and out over and over again, and restarting here and there. That definitely makes it bad.

Comment on The New York Times is failing its readers badly on COVID in ~health

It’s their job to view it through the lens of “Disease Control” hence why they are the Center for Disease Control. It’s the federal administration’s job to take in data and assessments from all sources (disease control, health, economic, education, etc.) and make decisions based on those things. Unfortunately, the Trump admin took that info and then used the information in an attempt to garner political favor rather than making informed decisions which resulted in the disconnects you describe.

It’s similar to Marilu Henner, who also has the condition, in that she’s never been tested for it officially but has displayed it so obviously that there’s little doubt*. The fact that they also can only recall memories that they have experienced personally makes it distinct from other photographic memory conditions. It really makes their auto-biographies exceptionally rare in how vivid the recall is.
*Edit: Marilu has actually been officially diagnosed since initially coming out publicly about her condition.

I think you missed my point because the answer, in this context, is clearly #3. This isn’t a labor of love by people who desperately want to tell the complex story of the world of Skibidi Toilet. This is a cash grab by people who have no sense wanting to cash in on something that’s popular.
