I was really really surprised when Trump didn't immediately call the election "stolen". I figured that it might have been because he's so narcissistic that he didn't care because it wasn't an election for him specifically.

But, with all the military mobilisation I'm thinking along the same lines as you: what're they up to? Obviously a coup, but how and when?

    I use forwardmail which initially just offered forwarding, but then added POP3 and IMAP4.

    I also have a public GPG key so that quite a few email senders will automatically encrypt it before transmission.

    Both solve a different problem that proton/tuta do though.

    I hope you've been (and are) able to deal with that trauma in a healthy way.

    Come to think of it, I'm not sure I wish that on anyone, no matter who they are.

    He's possibly barely suffered a consequence in his entire life, so probably even the thought of there being any consequences is terrifying (enough) to him.

    Had a parent (in full denial about a possible ADHD adjacent diagnosis) excuse their child's actions (defiantly running away from their carer and across a road) as "their brain must have been tired".

    FFS you are your brain*, the rest is just transport.

    * I argue that your brain is just the substrate you run on and there can be several of you running there.

    I like to explain the difference like this:

    If you earned one million dollars a year (after tax, all expenses, etc) and spent none of it how long would it take you to earn a billion dollars? A thousand years.

    If Musk gave away a million dollars a day, how long would it take him to give away a trillion dollars? Three thousand years.

    Then point out that's assuming they don't make any more money during that time.
