Fuck the Murdoch dynasty, all of them. Knowing that people I care about have spent decades watching a 4-hour evening infomercial for fascism is brutal.

Labour movements also need people in the streets. Movements fail when they don't embrace diversity of tactics.

People used to rage about the content of television being ideological.

Now we know that its ideological nature is mostly structural, not presentation: you, sitting, watching, passive, and most definitely not marching in the streets!

Generate action, not alpha waves.

Upvote just for the excellent title pun.

Quick, someone get this person a Malibu on mags!

The zillions of W123 Mercedes from that period that are still running to this day are an exception to that rule, arguably one of the best vehicle designs ever produced.

Yeah, should have clarified, meth can cause narcissistic behaviour, not hate. Other substances, no. All the alcoholics and heroin etc. addicts that I know or am related to or have worked with, were not fundamentally changed in character or even personality by the addiction. But chronic meth use, yeah. Big difference.

I guess you have never watched a family member descend into meth abuse then.

Permanent personality changes such that trust is pointless, redemption is merely a faint hope, all motivations are underlaid with a new narcissistic set of delusions and denials.

Since I have watched this happen to three family members of distinct lineage and personality types, all of whom were pleasant and acceptably kind beforehand, my small sample size is nevertheless very convincing.

Putin's nightmare about Gaddafi. Benito Mussolini displayed in the street. Ceaușescu's last moment on video.

Team Luigi needs more branding.

A lot of Windows users moving to macOS leave apps running due to just clicking on the red button to close the window.

Check to make sure you don't have an app running that is keeping the computer active, even in the background.

e.g. some data syncing apps, navigation device connections, wake-on-lan enabled with an active network-reliant app running

Use Activity Monitor in the /applications/utilities folder to explore all the stuff running.

My experience as well. Other hosting providers as well though. WP is the big target. I haven't recommended it for a decade.
