The whole point of everything they’re doing is to create an uneducated population of easily manipulated fodder. Of course people are forgetting. This effort has been running for 20-30 years (or longer) at this point, and it’s working.

This, right here, is the highest quality “Shower Thought” I’ve ever encountered. You win!
And you don’t give others credit for understanding this, and making their own layered joke? 👍
How much commission did the giant Cheeto get for this art using an image of his favorite beans?
I’m too lazy to find it right now, but there was a fascinating article from the 90’s I remember reading with a breakdown of the perspective that Through the Looking Glass was a take-down of a lot of the cutting edge mathematical theories being explored in his time.
Technically it started as late as 2020, and as early as 2014.
Watch out Mexico. These avocado toasts don’t grow on trees, ya’know.
I’m still waiting for how this trade war is a good thing. Should we be celebrating this “win?”
Nothing gives me confidence in someone’s tech plans quite like untimely leaks on development platforms.

“It’s an original Justin Case. Like Vera Wang, but just in case.”
Maybe if he wore a sign saying, “I am a bought-and-paid-for Russian agent,” two or three Republicans might object? I mean, we all know his base won’t care.

The proof of that fact can be found in things like the Pepys diary. Dude was stoked about his cool watch, and his dalliance with an actress.
The major problem with this kind of pattern is you’re looking to establish edge-case boundaries, rather than the most broadly applicable standard. The attempt to document and "solve for every case just leads to overly complicated and disingenuous discussions. Our fascination and obsession with “accuracy and precision” as applied to human behavior is one that breaks down very quickly unless you’re attempting to be hyper-rational, at which point, any rules assigned to human behavior break down.
In short, “use your best judgement.”
Note: I think that we have passed the golden moment where “human judgement” had any kind of value. There was a long time where we (all humanity) were stumbling in the dark, and we have now stepped back into that cave. But for a brief, shining moment, the percentage of people who had critical reasoning skills was growing, and it was majestic.
Put your cart back when you’re done shopping.
