Mine is down, didn't notice until the news started coming out.

Glad to see some people with service, though I will be curious to see what cover story and excuses will be brought this time.

If power goes next, with no cellular communications during a national crisis?

Has nothing to do with "living except digitally", there are some serious ramifications that stretch beyond inconvenience.

U.S. Cellular too?

This is concerning for a lot of reasons, not least of all that so much communication is now limited to wired internet solutions, which means a huge vulnerability.

How does this happen nationwide? During a crisis, no less?

Well, nationwide cellular service outages for Verizon, ATT and T Mobile, just ahead of schedule.

Recognized quickly as a talented musician and rising fast, only to suddenly have it all end.

Levels was in fact greatness.

It's more that being educated doesn't make you intelligent or vice versa, but I would point people towards a very common cultural phenomenon that has taken the world by storm:

Fear of being wrong.

People do not want to be wrong, and so they will trend towards and often conform with the loudest (often mistaken for most numerous) voices for fear of being wrong, because if you're wrong then it means you screwed up and that's a difficult pill to swallow in the information era.

Sometimes it's not down to intelligence or education but a chip on one's shoulder.

It would be refreshing to at least see them be honest about abortion instead of pretending it is some hugely important issue for women's rights.

But they know they would lose allies who choose to remain willfully unaware of the truth.

It's still hilarious that we were able to completely co-opt that to the point where people think that fake news originated with Trump.

It definitely didn't, but it shows that people weren't paying attention then.

You don't seem to understand what I'm saying here.

I agree that the shorts are too short. Why do you go in-depth with talking about cheeks etc.?

You go in knowing from the jump this is a middle school girl, and you zero in and talk about "seeing cheeks".

This is why I upvoted Numina's post, but took issue with your presentation.

I agree that parents need to be more prescient and present about stuff like this, but the way you seemed to hyperfocus was offputting.

Yeah that sounds like a lie to justify higher costs, common from Californian politicians.

Could also be yeast from specific regions that people are or aren't allergic to I guess.

Who knows; it's clear that issues have been arising in recent decades that didn't seem to affect people in centuries or millennia prior.

It sure seems easier to run this exercise every year instead of letting the numbers pile up and doing all of it at once.

That may be a way to differentiate between the unwilling blackmailed and the people who happily went along.

Distinction of course only matters for God's judgement, I think, because the truly repentant would have outed themselves -- and everyone else -- long ago.
