Yep. This all feels like a major psyop in which the media wants Trump elected

The thumb cluster also helps A LOT, but I have to pinkie stretch for the {}, [], and () keys which aggeavates my RSI - So who knows! Maybe I'll end up ditching QWERTY

So far, typing on the keyboard is good, but my forearms are still a bit strained. I suspect the pain I feel isn't reinjury, but just minor leftover pain from TheReallyAwfulTypingDay. Frequent switches between standing and sitting has helped, and of course the heating pad.

Day 1 with my fancy keyboard! I haven't done a lot of typing yet, but so far my RSI hasn't been too aggravated. I also have my heating pad here, which has kept pain levels down. Today's 5-hr study jam will really put this keyboard to the test - will report back later!

It's really such a shame he got so much criticism, and I really hope the social pushback doesn't snuff his light. As adults, we have a tendency say "don't do this" and while people "mean well" it's far more important to cultivate and not dim a young person's light

I'm getting a lot of inspiration from James Scholz's videos.

I know he's not for everyone, but his story and passion is so inspiring:

I’m glad the Chevron case is being discussed more in plain language because it simply lacks self explanation and familiarity a la Roe v Wade.

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

Place a lot of the blame for these obviously bullshit tech company press releases being breathlessly repeated as fact in major media on this: journalism has been utterly GUTTED in the last 20 years, and there are *very* few reporters with technical expertise who can fact check these claims left

It's clear from the debate but it really should be said aloud, for all my gripes about how Biden is handling Gaza, the Palestinians are *really* fucked if Trump is elected. The man called Biden a "Palestinian" as an insult lol.

Yes: Look for CPC mouthwash and use a neti pot or neilmed bottle. Even if you don’t care about yourself, preventing yourself from becoming a vector means you won’t kill and disable others, particularly children who don’t have the wherewithal to “choose” to avoid repeated infection.

And no amount of facts will change their minds - They want to be mad at anyone and everyone except the people responsible. They see themselves in Capitalist Daddy, when in reality they have much more in common with the masses they so despise.

One of the saddest parts about encountering racism on Twitter - Capitalists have been pitting laborers against each other since America's birth and the same people fall for it every time.
