I think a lot of people also forget that there was a gamut of immune response to Covid… It ranged from no issues at all to dropping dead within a few weeks. At what point did the low oxygenation in those made just ill enough from Covid to end up with breating problems, also get a touch of mental decline from that as well?

I know a lot of people that seemed much quicker on the uptake and had more mental acuity before Covid… and historically I’d be the first one to take the position that I don’t know shit and usually have my head up my ass. Now, I’m the one that seems to have my shit together when so many no longer do.

WTF?

Dementia.

Everyone thinks it means all of the sudden you stand in the corner mumbling at the walls and wearing your underpants above your clothes… but it starts oftentimes years ahead of diagnosis with irrational, defiant, rash decisions that are put down to stubbornness and age.

Also, Trump IS terrified of ending up like his father, so in keeping with what he learned from Roy Cohn, it’s about keeping everyone around him off-balance so they can’t tell if it’s really mental impairment, or some “5D chess” move he’s making.

Ultimately, he probably at this point, doesn’t know himself. Part malignant narcissist, part desperate terror, part dementia and part self-delusiuon.

Apparently not.

Finding Lemmy.zip and then finding the old layout that I can easily navigate and jumping in w/o missing a beat after getting sniped by a bot on reddit.

I love this place, it’s actually friendly and that is such a breah of fresh air.

Getting to all of one’s content is the rub. You can’t delete more than a years’ worth of comments. Reddit locked all the older posts and threads down once the IPO dropped, so they could privatize it and sell it for AI training. Last October, I got permabanned after 14 years there, and could only delete my comments that went back as October 2024.

Weirdly enough, someone (or a bot doing some training?) randomly responded to an ancient (over 7 years ago) comment I made and it popped up in my Reddit mailbox… Shouldn’t be able to get replies as content that old is usually archived and static. But not this. Hmmm. I of course deleted it and worked my way though as many of the threads under that post to find any other comments I may have made, but I could not get to any other content that was as old.

I still maintain a few logins to swing through and check for any more of my content coming up… Going to get as much of it gone as I can. I’m patient.

Hmmm…

I wonder if it would be possible for a lawsuit to open up Reddit to banned users who still have their accounts who also want to delete their content. All I could get at was the prior years worth of comments I made, but the earlier 14 years worth is still there, but unreachable.

If I can’t play the game anymore, I would like to take my ball and bat back before I leave, thankyouverymuch.
