She ran the worst campaign you could run with the billion dollars and initial support she was gifted.

Biden's was worse

It's still Kamala's fault she lost, but she wasn't as bad as it could have been.

It's basically negligible tho.

Like I recently busted out Logitech mouse/keyboard combo with a dongle. They say for maybe five years and I've been using them for months now and the batteries are still what was in them.

I think that if people are randomly sending that shit to people they don't know, all it means is they have mental health issues...

I'm not sure what else people would think about it, it's obviously schizophrenic ramblings

So they blocked new accounts from Israel and Palestine, and the headline just mentions Israel?

Sounds about normal...

She asked me twice whether I thought her stories sounded crazy, so she was clearly somewhat aware of her condition.

Not necessarily.

It's very likely everyone in her life were telling her it's all in her head, she gets mad and says she's not crazy...

Then calls random repair people, tells them the story. And asks "am I crazy" because most businesses would never say that to a client. She was looking for validation, the same way people go fishing for compliments saying stuff like "I'm so bad at my job, I don't know how you all put up with me". Even if it's true and they're dead weight, most people will be polite and reassure them.

I just didn’t know how to deal with someone like that

Tell them that they should relay their concerns to a medical professional if they're concerned.

If they're seriously doubting their delusions, they'll go get help and thank you for the advice.

More likely they'll realize you're not giving them what they want, get mad, and often blame you for being involved in the conspiracy.

But there's a chance they actually get help.

Any kind of acceptance of their beliefs, no matter how tentative, reinforces it and drives them further into the delusion. Depending on how involved her family is, she might have called them immediately, and after cussing them out said even the plumber agrees she's not crazy.

Yeah, OP has made this post and one other comment...

They could have posted anything else and been the change they wanted, now they'll get notifications from people talking about the one thing they dislike enough to make a post?

I'll never understand the logic behind that shit, the last post was 13 hours ago, just make a different post instead of one complaining about every other posts.

It's the same thing Brazil did.

He's rich enough that he's kind of a parent corporation by himself, so:

X was previously accused of violating the Digital Services Act (DSA), which could result in fines of up to 6 percent of total worldwide annual turnover. That fine would be levied on the "provider" of X, which could be defined to include other Musk-led firms.

But yeah, American law has been limited so the buck stops at the company which declares bankruptcy and the money starts a new company.

Not everyone else system is as shitty

Deja Vu is just an error with how we save memories.

It skips working memory, short term memory, and goes straight into long term memory so everything we experience feels like we're remembering it, but no matter how hard you try you can't remember the future.

During certain recreational activities, it can last long enough to realize what's happening. Normally you just get a brief moment of it till shit gets straightened out.

And it's mostly all in one place...

I never realized how valuable that data was

Yeah, but that's the same as someone writing on a bathroom stall at this point.

I'm curious if this was some kind of DDOS, or if someone was trying to use it to train AI and was pulling everything to make a local copy

About the only way to ensure you're not training AI on bots, is to use "old internet" when bots were more obvious
