  1. Although my post is four years old the answer is the same. I make everything how I like it to look with my browser, with my Windlight, with my graphics settings. Rarely any post processing. All but the oldest items are kept displayed in my four region store. Anyone is free to decide if they like how something looks on their browser and computer with their windlight. I don’t try to be all things to everyone.
  2. I was in awe of Nonna’s clothing but especially her furniture. Her Louis XV things just astonished me. She is still around, and once in a while buys something from me, which is very exciting!
  3. The most disturbing thing about recent history is discovering how many of one’s acquaintances/ friends / family members one always thought were smart and enlightened but turn out to be neither.
  4. All LL has to do to reduce spam keywords by half is to reduce the size of the keyword field. Removing creator names from product name search would go farther. I don’t get what is so hard, but after years of suggesting these things I have to assume something about it must be devastatingly difficult.
  5. No one has to “look for solutions”. Read the signs posted everywhere about masking etc.
  6. Nursing home deaths plummeted when they got the vaccine (they were first).
  7. The same people who helped us reach 400k unnecessary covid deaths are now working to ensure the pandemic is unending. 40% of Republicans say they will not take the vaccine, presumably the same ones who refuse to mask.
  8. It never was a tradeoff, one or the other. It was always about getting the virus under control SO we could save both lives AND the economy. Instead Trump et al pushed opening businesses — FORCING super spreader meat packing plants to open without effective safety measures — at the expense of lives. To further accelerate reaching herd immunity, they ridiculed and still ridicule masking and social distancing, and went around knowingly hosting or supporting every kind of super spreading event. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/09/politics/coronavirus-trump-woodward-timeline/
  9. I am hearing discussion about eventually bringing charges against the worlds most dangerous spreader of lies. He and his spreaders such as those in this forum cost hundreds of thousands of lives, including medical personnel risking their lives.
  10. Natural selection means that variants that transmit more efficiently will become dominant, given time. More effective transmission means more infections and potential deaths. We are in a desperate race to get enough people on the planet vaccinated before variants can become dominant. Also, although current variants appear to be thwarted by current vaccines, it is likely if we don’t take action that future variants will require and endless cycle of updated vaccines.
  11. I see LL is still providing a platform for the spread of dangerous misinformation. You would think the loss of 400k lives due to misinformation would be enough but nope.
  12. You are not well informed. If you care: Do a search of “Trump pandemic response timeline.”
  13. Call the Midwife. It is so schmaltzy. Lots of cloying music and saccharin voiceover. So annoying that it manipulates me to get choked up every single episode. Galling!
  14. I was laughing at my misspelling, but will will send a list of where I stand on various issues so everyone will know how to take opposite ones. For now, I will just say I am against overthrowing Democracy. And White Supremacy.
  15. No doubt there are people who base their positions on other peoples’ forum arguments. But BLM?? People poured into the streets, not just for a day, but day after day. Not just in America, but worldwide. In Paris, in London — they chanted George Floyd’s name. Yet people formed their opinion of the movement based on how much they liked forum members? If so, their opinions are not worth much, and trivialize BLM. An aside: About how radical this march was: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/03/us/george-floyd-protests-crowd-size.html This world map is absolutely mind blowing: https://www.creosotemaps.com/blm2020/
  16. It seems to me to imply “If you say things I don’t like, you are hurting the BLM movement.” Same with “We have voted and most people here don’t like you, so if you support BLM we will be against it.” The very idea that there are people who base their approach to the most profound, transformative movement we have had since the 60s on forum posts is to me ludicrous.
  17. How am I supposed to know anything about you but what you post? Which is that you appeared to use BLM as some kind of threat. Which had already been done once with the assertion that BLM marches made people angry,
  18. You must be thinking of those people who “got angry” at the BLM marches, mentioned elsewhere in this thread, and possibly right in this forum. Let me explain something: Black lives matter no matter what you think. It’s not up for debate. It’s not dependent on forum posts. THEY MATTER.
  19. True. But no point in trying to enlighten people who have made a choice to believe sources of “alternative facts”. They are delusional and utterly without remorse or shame. Also, anyone can Google to see that BLM marchers, masked and outdoors, didn’t cause a spike in covid. That is a fact.
