I suppose you’re right. They’d been shifting for a long time.

True, although I believe things only got so bad after the party elite had became isolated from their base, and the above is how they initially became isolated from them in the first place.

From what I remember, they repeatedly voted against anything left of what they considered centre in the primaries because they followed the theory that only centrists (or those as close to the other party as possible) win elections, by swaying swing voters in the middle. The other party had long abandoned the idea by this point however, because chasing what they considered centre often meant upsetting those finding themselves outside of that centre.

If the people voting in the primaries were more representative of those outside views, perhaps there could have been another outcome. However, not many of those people vote in primaries.

It’s good, I would have thought the same if I were to stumble on it now. Somebody must have provided an extremely quick downvote, because I hadn’t downvoted you

This comment section wasn’t so full or censored when I commented that, and I know the ones I saw before they were censored weren’t saying that.

I feel like you’ve built two straw-men and conflated them together. I haven’t seen anybody arguing either case on the left side of the meme in response to the images depicted (or similar) on the right side of the meme. People wanting to send weapons to Ukraine generally tend to also say it doesn’t have a Nazi problem (and may compare Russia with Nazis), and people wanting pacifism in Palestine also don’t like weapons and support sent to Israel.

I’m wondering if the cause and effect are the other way around, people that have trouble with noise (such as people with APD) might want noise cancelling headphones. The rise in cases of APD might indicate otherwise, but with the information provided, it sounds like it might be under-diagnosed anyway.

The first thing many people used to assume is that if you had any problems with listening, you might be somewhat deaf. APD and other difficulties listening definitely aren’t deafness, but I wonder if there is increased awareness of other reasons why someone might have difficulty understanding speech.

It’s nice to see someone who used to be so deep into the Adobe ecosystem was finally able to switch over. I hear that it used to be considered practically impossible unless you weren’t already in very deep. As a result, many people simply said they wouldn’t consider Linux unless Adobe products supported Linux.

The fact that he’s proven Adobe doesn’t have a stranglehold anymore gives me hope that we’ll be seeing more and more people migrating as software supporting Linux gets better.

Autism affects how senses are processed, and taste is a sense - some autistic people don’t want things that are strong or that vary a lot, preferring consistency instead.

With that being said, it’s not a universal thing, different people are affected differently.

While true, I would add that a big reason is that freight is prioritised by rail companies, causing large and frequent delays for passengers. Amtrak owns some of its own rail, mostly in the northeast, which is perhaps less-than-coincidentally the part of the US that has the most people taking trains.

I think people do think it should fail. Snap isn’t bad, but when people run a command, they expect it to do as asked, or fail. The fact it does something else breaks that intuition, as it’s doing what it thinks you will want instead.

With that being said, it’s not a big deal.
