Algebra came easy to me. I came to realize even in elementary school we were doing algebra even if they didn't use that name. Simple arithmetic like 2 + 5 = ? Is algebra if you think of the ? As X.

Then it's 2 + ? = 7.

After that, at least to me, it's order of operations and just moving things around.

That's the "new math"? That's just how I always have done it. I've kicked ass at math because things were a logical progression and order of operations. I could always transform something down to simpler to calculate pieces.

It's put me at odds with some managers, until I got high enough where it became a target and I could determine the path to get there.

I hated managers who wouldn't tell me the why, because I'd inevitably hit something that doesn't line up with my training and I'd have to apply the why's to determine what to do.

I hate how the media doesn't call out anything this regime does as what it is. They softball everything.

And I somewhat get that news articles should be facts with no editorializing. But this stuff is the political weaponization of the DOJ. It's not an opinion, it's a fact at this point.

I don't hate him, I don't know him.

I hate what he does. I hate what he says. I hate who he associates with. I hate his voice. I hate his face. I hate everything about him.

I will celebrate with so much champagne when he dies.

They still call them "monsters" and "criminals" as if those are proven facts.

We know they are purposefully dehumanizing these people.

I unironically love it.

Good. I also wonder what it means for sun entering the building. Will it decrease the need to AC use in the summer?

I am of the firm stance that ghost police cars should never exist. If you need to be undercover to do a thing, then have a plain car.

But ghost cars are literally there to hide for "normal" everyday enforcement. And that type of police work should not involve hiding.

My mentality that has helped (before I worked in retail and dealt with hundreds if not thousands of people a day) was realizing that they will probably think about me just as much as I think about them in a few hours. Which is not at all.

There is a little nihilism of "nothing in this conversation matter" mixed with I learned I kind of like people. The vast majority of people are nice.

The previous standard for studying the 2020 election merely said, “Examine issues related to the election of 2020 and its outcome.” The new version is more expansive: “Identify discrepancies in 2020 elections results by looking at graphs and other information, including the sudden halting of ballot-counting in select cities in key battleground states, the security risks of mail-in balloting, sudden batch dumps, an unforeseen record number of voters, and the unprecedented contradiction of ‘bellwether county’ trends.”

"Identify discrepancies" is very leading implying that they did exist.

Then everything that follows imply they happened, it lends credence by being discussed even if they didn't happen.
