I’m not a programmer; at best I script.

She also sang a song about getting the COVID vaccine iirc.

Ehh, too jingoistic for me. I don’t really like flag based outfits unless it’s something like the Olympics, but I also mostly dislike that too (not the athletes, but the organization and the damage it does to areas it’s held in).

I sometimes ask questions, and sometimes I’m forced to because the original answer somehow misinterpreted my query. I also do searches like you mentioned, but I don’t exclusively do one of the other.

He’s been on Alex Jones multiple times, though most times he’s been on to support some Christian things and not really listening to Jones’ talking points.

Eat your hamburgers, Apollo.

I had googled for it and saw people say they tried support and couldn’t get it, so I didn’t myself, but I guess I should have tried anyway.

Might be too late now. That was last summer ago. Good to know though.

RawTherapee. I had to pull it up again. I think DarkTable is the one that crashed on me. https://www.rawtherapee.com/

I found an open source replacement for Lightroom that finally worked (others I tried crashed loading my raws). While testing it, my subscription renewed (I can take criticism that I should have known and cancelled before renewal, but…) I then tried cancelling right after, but Adobe only gives a grace period on first purchase, not renewals. If subscription automatically charges, that money is gone.

Could it be a result of not liking other loud sounds? Loud music, concerts, loud crowded places, headphones played too loud etc all can damage your upper range hearing, and iirc many on the spectrum do not enjoy loud stumuli.

Also getting sick of seeing that obfuscating language: “office involved shooting” as if there was a shootout that involved officers and not officers being the only ones with guns and the only reason shooting ever happened.

Mostly kids who didn’t vote. Voters actively harming their own kids.

401ks are invested. People losing their retirement funds. I personally don’t have any because I had to use mine up last time I was between jobs for a year, but many innocent people who aren’t rich and voted against Trump are being hurt as well.

They’re the only store around here that had a certain flavor(cherry chocolate almond) of kind ice cream bar, but I haven’t been back in a long time anyway, nor do I intend to.

Edit: replied to wrong thread.

Either just coincidence, or I may have found a GAM listener in the wild.

I love raw onions on salad and some burgers/sandwiches. Usually red.

There are definitely some like that. The American system has a number of tricks to try to force people to do what they like as well though. Poverty, over policing of minorities, lack of social safety nets etc can cause people who grew up barely avoiding prison choosing military thinking the only choices they have are death or military, shoved at them when they’re too young to really know the world. Add education that specifically avoids or lies about what US actually does overseas, plus a bunch of jingoistic propaganda making being a soldier appear to be a respectable profession.

I grew up in a cult that avoided military so I never had those feelings myself, so I got to watch it from the outside, and even the pledge of allegiance every morning was weird jingoistic programming from early ages. It can be difficult to see past that at 17. I’m not saying they don’t deserve any punishment, but I do disagree with the idea that every single one wanted to kill people.
