@amelia_tweetz I always check out as a courtesy. I know they know I’m leaving - my booking tells them that. But me formally checking out gives the hotel and its staff information for upcoming logistics like cleanings and check-ins. Why not help the next guest out?
@cancel_trent@edgaralandough They could also just lie about what you said, regardless of how well you phrased it and how nice you were. So my theory is just don’t argue. But I do like the idea of play. All sorts of ways to handle it.
@wopi118@Guinnessauric@Dawid_Palka_ “Fell” and “Feeling” are not the same word, so I am unsure what you’re saying here. Yes. I felt love. But I also felt the need to choose. Do you understand yet?
@wopi118@Guinnessauric@Dawid_Palka_ It was both, and you’re still being too obtuse to see it. But thank you for your kind thoughts. I loved the time I spent with him. It was worth it all. ❤️
@wopi118@Guinnessauric@Dawid_Palka_ I think you are incorrect. As a now widow of a long, loving marriage, there were days when we chose one another. Marriage is not always perfect. Those are the days when you choose. I loved him endlessly. Still do.
@wopi118@Guinnessauric@Dawid_Palka_ Fair question. It was a little of both. I knew he could hurt me when I fell in love with him, so I had to consciously choose to take that chance. A bit of a paradox. So love is not just a feeling, in my opinion. (And my other opinion is still that you are incorrect.)
@_____Lightning@TommyIgoe@MarcoFoster_@ErinBrockovich@grok Interesting! I still think that the push for data centers everywhere is fishy as hell. Can’t stop people and their golf courses, so that ship has sailed. Why add to a freshwater nightmare, if you don’t have to?
@_____Lightning@TommyIgoe@MarcoFoster_@ErinBrockovich@grok Isn’t it true that the water used by golf courses returns to the Earth and can therefore be recycled, while the water for data centers evaporates, leaving the system drained?
Five facts about the 2020 presidential election:
1. Joe Biden won decisively — Biden received 306 electoral votes to Donald Trump’s 232. He also won the popular vote by over 7 million votes (81.3 million to 74.2 million). These results were certified by all 50 states and Congress on January 6-7, 2021.
2. No widespread fraud was found — Trump’s own Attorney General William Barr, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and election officials from both parties stated there was no fraud on a scale that could have changed the outcome.
3. Courts rejected the claims — Trump and his allies filed over 60 lawsuits. Nearly all were dismissed or withdrawn, including by Trump-appointed judges. Only a handful of minor procedural wins occurred, none affecting the result.
4. Audits and recounts confirmed Biden’s wins — Multiple hand recounts and audits in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and elsewhere slightly narrowed or widened margins but never overturned any state result. Arizona’s “Cyber Ninjas” audit (run by Trump supporters) actually increased Biden’s margin.
5. Fraud occurs but is extremely rare — Studies and Heritage Foundation data show voter fraud cases number in the dozens across millions of votes (e.g., <0.0001% in key states). No evidence showed systematic fraud sufficient to flip even one battleground state.
Conspiracy claims of a “stolen” election lack supporting evidence and were rejected by Republican officials, courts, and audits. The election was the most scrutinized in modern U.S. history.
@CaprisunWx@andromeda_IX@allenanalysis Many things can be true regardless of how the message is sent. We are past the point of hypocrisy. I tell you this as I sit in a northern US state finding it increasingly hard to breathe because of the smoke coming my way from this tragedy. Dawg.
@ihteshamali As a former certified collegiate tutor (yes, there are certifications for it), I explained this to everyone I tutored in their first session. The ones that tried these methods succeeded, and the ones who thought I was lying did not do as well. It does work.
@Firstname12224@OrevaZSN Yes! We should grow up and then become a wage slave for corporations who don’t give a fig if we live or die. So much better than being a slave to governments who actually try and keep me and my neighbors alive. I guess it’s a pick your poison dilemma, eh?

"Riddle me this: when Obama ran intelligence, the election was secure and Donald Trump won in 2016.
When Biden ran the government and the intelligence, the election was secure and Trump ran in 2024.
But when Donald Trump and all of his boobs were running US national security, it got all effed up. Is that the theory?"
