Tylenol is interesting - it’s a psychoactive drug. It reduces your brain’s ability to experience pain, or even understand the possibility of pain, rather than reducing the amount of pain you’re feeling. That means different people’s brain chemistry will result in very different results with Tylenol.

Studies were done that show people are slightly more likely to take risks when they’re on Tylenol. Wild stuff.

Ostensibly it’s to protect things like credit card information. In reality it’s to make sure Microsoft has more control over your computer than you do.

This is why I use Open-Shell. Ever since MS decided that the entire program list should be in a tiny little scroll window I’ve been giving it the middle finger.

The main difference is that it requires TPM 2.0, which allows applications to run in a fully encrypted mode and prevent user tampering.

Once you put a cork in the neck of the bottle, it is no longer a disc and can contain other objects.

I’m honestly not sure that Trump’s death would have been the best thing for the world.

Hear me out.

If Trump were assassinated, he would have become a martyr - and it would have been easy to paint the Left as the culprits, thus obliterating any chance of winning the upcoming election, and more. But it wouldn’t have been Trump who won the presidency - it would have been someone more capable and more subtle.

Trump is laying such waste to the government that he’s quickly turning people against him - and his vanity and incompetence are undermining his own party’s efforts to secure their power. As long as we survive the current attacks on democracy - which is, admittedly, a big if - then he may have utterly destroyed the power base for the GOP for a long time to come. A destruction that wouldn’t have happened if someone with their sanity intact had landed the office.

We’re going to suffer in the meantime, but at least we have a chance to turn it around - a chance that may not have happened if Trump had eaten that bullet.

Part of this is likely to be because with how stupidly car-focused the infrastructure is, revoking someone’s license to drive is essentially revoking someone’s right to autonomy.
