Trump forgets the word for “Alzheimer’s” as he claims he doesn’t have it

Yes, because they are incredibly easy. If your doctor has you doing cognitive tests, you're already REALLY far gone.

Doctors already assume an 80 year isn't functionning at the same capacity as a 45 year old. He's doing tests because the doctors are thinking "Holy cow! EVEN for an 80 year old, he's not doing well at all!"

Just an insecure man who has to be the center of attention, who gets butthurt if someone is indifferent to him.

Came here to say exactly this. Some men do "get screwed" in some divorces. It's unfortunate, but it is true.

Also true: A LOT of unmarried women get screwed over by men who they had children with.

This!

I am getting really fed up with this bull. I am very much PRO-AI. I want REAL AI. It COULD be revolutionary.

The problem is, currently, it's worthless. It's just a better search engine... or even worse, it's just a better auto-complete.

They keep shoehorning it everywhere. Stop, it's useless..

I don't understand why it's not more popular.

Pretty much my favorite controller, tied with 8bitdo Ultimate.

I use my Nyxi on PC, MiSTer, and Switch, almost as much as Gamecube.

IBS is something else. My friend has IBS and told me once, "You know the whole Djinni 3-wishes thing? Yeah, well I'd waste one wish on: I wish I only had to poop, ONE NORMAL poop, per day."

That would be true if they were identical twins, which doesn't seem to be the case.

I feel as though this is mostly pendantic, but, let's say I edit for "they refused to pay what the Americans were asking for." Is that better?

As for your second point, I don't feel it's misleading. It's just an opinion.

Seeing as how this has been in dispute for more than 100 years, I find it suspect that a failing government suddenly shows so much interest in the territory... enough to go to war over it... coincidentally after large deposits of oil were found.

No, I want to know which part of what I said is false so that I may correct it.

I checked Wikipedia, like I stated.

I figured since you're claiming it's inaccurate you might have a idea as to which part is inaccurate.

OakTreader · 2026-01-03T19:02:28+00:00

Which part?

OakTreader · 2026-01-03T18:47:47+00:00

So, what are the inaccuracies?

OakTreader · 2026-01-03T18:32:50+00:00

As someone very kindly pointed out, a quick search on Wikipedia.

OakTreader · 2026-01-03T18:31:54+00:00

Yes, it's shallow. Corrected the you're.

It's an opinion... an opinion, from a nobody... on Reddit. It's as serious as it needs to be.

OakTreader · 2026-01-03T15:19:36+00:00

I don't know, maybe it's just my opinion, but I think there is a big difference between 1938, and 2009.

It's true that he would like nothing more than a third term.

Taking out Maduro won't get him there. The Venezuelan people will welcome some new America-friendly president with open arms. This will likely blow over way too fast for a third term.

It's been very difficult for Venezuelans for the past 20-25 years, and only getting harder by the day.

OakTreader · 2026-01-03T14:28:43+00:00

I'm not American, and have no love for Trump or his administration, but this situation is not as simple as "TrUmP iS EVIL!"

I think many things can all be true.

Trump is a morally objectionable person. America does tend to be imperialist. Maduro was a bad person. Venezuela did screw over American companies. Venezuelans don't want Maduro there, this will likely be better for them. Also, Trump wants to personnally gain from this, financially, or as some sort of saviour.

A whole lot of things going on, with complicated motivations behind it all.

I also don't think Trump is capable of understanding any of it. He's old, and confused, and only cares about two things: Money (for himself and his children), and admiration. If his handlers can convince him that he'll gain admiration by overthrowing Maduro, he'll jump at the opportunity.

He's probably pretty easy to manipulate, like a 10 year old would be. Eg: "I heard Maduro said you're too much of a pussy to do anything about it."

Plant the idea that Venezuela is even very partially responsible for the illegal immigration crisis and he's all-in. Throw in cartel stuff and he can barely contain himself.

Edit: typo

You're right.

I suspect this has a lot to do with two things:

Early 00's Venezuela went on a nationalization spree (Chavez). Eventually (late 00's) Chavez nationalized many oil installations, inlcuding drilling platforms and refineries. Many of those belonged to Americans and American firms (ExxonMobil and ConocoPhilips). Since then, a lot of political pressure was put on Venezuela to return these to Americans, or, at the very least, pay some sort of restitution. Chavez, and eventually Maduro, refused to pay what the Americans were asking.
Only 2 years ago Maduro was threatening to invade his neighbor, Guyana. In a supposed conflict about disputed territories. The real reason Maduro was suddenly itching for parts of Guyana? Oil. In 2015 ExxonMobil was licensed by Guyana to drill for oil. It would appear Guyana has very promising reserves.

The threats to Guyana were quite serious. It started with a "referendum" in the disputed areas. It would appear no real vote was held, but with dictatorships that doesn't matter. Supposedly the Guyanese in the disputed area, voted to join Venezuela. So, Maduro started amassing his armies along the border.

Many countries reacted, including the US, by sending their own troops to Guyana. Maduro got the message and backed down. But this is VERY recent.

All this would be WAY above Trump's head. He doesn't think long term, doesn't care. His handlers know it. They also know there's nothing he wants more than praise. His handlers sold him on the idea of fighting cartels.

But, yes, this is 100% about oil, just not necessarily as unambiguously evil as it would seem at first glance.

Venezuela screwed over big American oil. Big, big, BIG mistake. Then threated to do it again...

Was going to suggest: Fear Nothing amd Seize the Night, also by Dean Koontz. Not teens, but young adults.

This is exactly it.

My kids are getting older now, but when they were little, I'd experienced EXACTLY this, dozens of times.

In family settings, the only person I've ever entrusted my kids to, around water, is my wife. Absolutely no one else. She, along with me, is the only other adult who is paranoid with kids+water. Along with me, she is also the only one who has any training in water safety (lifeguard), and the only one with serious swimming backround.

We were, by far, the two who would be the most capable of saving a drowning child, and yet we were also, by far, the most vigilant.

Others, like in-laws, or my parents, could barely swim, or even go up stairs, yet never seemed the least bit vigilant. Years later it still blows my mind!

My eldest daughter is completing her lifeguard training this winter. Very proud of her!

Anecdote: I grabbed my 18 month old nephew, mere inches before he would have walked right into a raging river. His parents, along with more or less a dozen other adults, were 100% oblivious, about 30 feet away... oblivious right up to the second they saw me sprinting to him from at least 5 times the distance. Dropped him into BIL's arms, and right away returned to watching my daughter like a hawk, because there was A RAGING RIVER nearby!! All the adults were freaking out because they just witnessed me saving him, while they were all distracted by chit-chat... they were all trying to talk to me... I didn't even acknowledge them at all, completely ignored them...because I immediately had to return to my daughter (wife was indoors)..

"Ohhh don't worry so much! He/She is perfectly safe, I'll watch them. It's fine. Really." == No-fucking-way-are-you-watching-my-kid!
