  1. given the state of things, I plan to ignore it.
  2. 100%. The goal is to make it as difficult as possible for someone to get vaccines. And costs will go up for them as insurance companies will use this as loopholes to not cover them since after all, they're now not necessary for most.
  3. I was receiving a message to update my iPhone all day yesterday so I relented. I think my IT dept set up a policy that we needed to upgrade so the phone kept trying and trying. So far I'm mainly meh about ios26. I don't mind the new look as I like something changing every so often. And after watching a few videos on the improvements, many won't work on my older iPhone due to lack of apple intelligence.
  4. Teachers have a right to their personal opinions but they should exercise caution when posting anything online. Districts have often been ruled by a small minority of parents/citizen who clutch their pearls at anything. We're not that far removed when a divorced, female teacher would be run out of a small town for being a disgrace and setting a bad example for the girls. Much less if they're posting opinions online that some in the community would disagree. I imagine there are busybodies in school districts that follow as many teachers as possible in an attempt to catch them posting anything scandalous, including going back in the teacher's history of social posts. Their goal is to find anything that would allow them to kick out a teacher.
  5. Or just ask your doctor's office for a covid vaccine shot. The doctor can sign off on it without you claiming to have a condition that you don't.
  6. I'm quick to apply minor updates but not so with major ones like iOS 26. I will look to wait for 26.1 which most likely is within a week or 2 if not sooner.
  7. saying an outrageous comment and then quietly apologizing days later, is the best path for them. Most who agree with him, with either not hear the apology or they will brush it off that of course he had to "apologize" to shut up his bosses.
  8. Any opinions about ESPN Unlimited? I was away from home the last few Saturdays so I hadn't had to figure out how to watch more college games yet.
  9. 99.99% (or more) of Americans think this was a horrible situation and should not occur. But people are still allowed to have negative opinions about what Kirk said without that being a celebration of his death.
  10. I dislike Fuentes and his views but he's spot on that Kirk effectively had a cocktail party trick when it came to debating emotional college kids who lacked extreme details on a subject. Kirk had certain facts and arguments memorized and he effectively forced the most questioners down the argument tracks that he had previously crafted. Kirk would frequently interrupt people to get them on the track he wanted. And he would shut most people down if he started to lose control of the conversation. And in today's video clip economy, it's a very effective debating technique. And he was very good at it. I imagine that he also used this technique in conversations with leaders like Trump. I'm sure he would read the room, but he would be able to take Trump to a conclusion that Kirk wanted.
  11. Happy to eat crow if I'm wrong but did Kirk ever comment on the fact that we learned that the Kerr County emergency response director was asleep and sick when people were dying from the flood in his county? Another fact is that the director is a white man. Can you just imagine how Kirk would have treated this news if the director was a minority, female or even transgender?
  12. the NFL is very much about virtue signaling with patriotism. Was there also a moment of silence at the UT game? I would think Belmont would want to avoid the controversy mainly in terms of some students booing.
  13. At this point, I don't think we will ever know the political leanings of the shooter/murderer. If his world is more about memes and phrases for the lulz, he could very well make comments that show him to be on the other side of his true feelings. Applying logic to a few comments here or there or looking at the scribblings on the shell casings, is not the same as reading the Unabomber manifesto in 1995. And both side will claim a false flag op if anything comes out contradicting their desire of the shooter's beliefs.
  14. His effort is a great analogy for his overall career. He starts off to accomplish something, when we all know his motivations are clearly just to help himself, and then he makes a mess of it. I wouldn't be surprised that this was the first time he's held a paint roller in his hands.
  15. Yes his actions and bringing attention to this will create 10 more copy cats. Not that Cruz won’t be internally happy about it. He wants that.
