      Frontotemporal dementia symptoms

      Physical issues

      • May develop a stooped or forward-leaning posture.
      • Reduced trunk flexibility and difficulty maintaining proper alignment are commonly observed.

      Behavioral and Personality Changes

      • Increasingly inappropriate social behavior such as rudeness or impulsivity.
      • Loss of empathy and inability to read social signals, often seeming cold or selfish.
      • Poor judgment, loss of inhibition, and impulsive actions, including compulsive behaviors (e.g., tapping, clapping).
      • Loss of drive or motivation, withdrawal from activities, and lack of interest (apathy) that can resemble depression but without sadness.
      • Repetitive or ritualistic behaviors, such as walking the same route or humming.
      • Changes in eating habits, such as overeating, eating sweet foods, or compulsively putting things in the mouth.
      • Decline in personal hygiene and neglect of self-care.

      Language and Communication Problems

      • Increasing difficulty using and understanding spoken or written language.
      • Loss of vocabulary, trouble naming objects, and forgetting word meanings.
      • Hesitant or telegraphic speech (using very simple sentences).
      • Getting words out of order or repeating phrases.[nhs]
      • Eventually, some may lose the ability to speak (mutism).

      Any of this sound familiar…

    I rotated the photo so that the runway in the background is aligned with the horizon. Also filled in the resulting gaps to not lose too much of the original photo. Looks like it was tilted on purpose. The rotated image is much less dramatic but also boring. I guess sometimes you don’t need AI to manipulate people.

    Edit: I don’t get why people think it’s necessary to resort to stupid little tricks like these. This is just dumb

      Bit does he do it? Like the center of gravity must be shifted via a massive belt that has lead weights towards the butt side. Otherwise how can most of his body be leaning forward like that?

        Do this experiment. Click on the image and then zoon into it such that you can scroll left and right. Then scroll to hide each person past the end of your screen. You will see that for everyone, their face and belly disappear the moment their shoes disappear. Except for his most respectful excellence. But I guess that’s the trick. Most of the mass is on the shoes. Its only some that’s leaning forward.

        OK back to other things.

      What’s with both of their shoes? Newsom looks like he has no toes and his shoes taper to nothing. Trump looks like he’s wearing construction boots with a heel lift.

        Newsoms shoes are in the shadow, so that’s not anything. Donald j Trump, the child rapist, has lifts in his shoes to make himself taller, and to hide how much of a fat fuck he is.

    I like this strategy, because in order to try to defend Taco, Taco or one of his dimwit supporters will say that of course Taco knew that, tacitly admitting Taco was lying.

    It also reminds everyone that has fallen asleep that Taco was responsible for the terrorism of J6.

    The problem is that while trump may not know what he’s talking about, his followers will believe him anyway. So it’s important to loudly and repeatedly point these things out.

    Of course the media should but won’t do it, so it’s good that Newsom is calling attention to it, but even then he has to be aggressive and sensationalist about it for the media to report what he says. It’s a role he has taken on, possibly detrimental to his career (or maybe not–we’ll see) but it’s a role that someone with influence like his needs to play so I’m glad he’s stepping up.

    Does this not destroy his argument or betray his own lies.

    Either:

    A. His assertion is that the FBI under Biden’s direction or agents into the crowd to indie violence. This is demonstrably false since Biden did not control the FBI and therefore could not have done this. He could have said agents but he chose to lie that it was the FBI, and in doing so, crippled his own argument.

    Or

    B: There were agents in the crowds tasked with inciting violence. These agents must have been working under Trumps direction as it was his FBI. Therefore he is telling on himself. This time the lie is under whose orders the agents were acting.

    I believe there were no agents there. Just a bunch of sycophants who revere trump so much they would be willing to root in jail for him and that their cause is so righteous that overruling democracy is fine.

    Why do we have old fuckers running anything? Clearly, in the past few presidencies now aside from Obama, we’ve watched old-as-fuck presidents practically decay in office. And they aren’t getting better.

    Who is next in 2028? Some 92 year old?

      in the last election, the Democrats ran a woman of multicultural descent of relative youth.

      Unfortunately, the “Don’t vote because Israel, something something” was widely amplified and resulted in almost catastrophic damage to the strategic societal goals that the very same people that might be influenced by such a message would hope to achieve.

        I voted for Kamala Harris and encouraged others to do as well, and even I think it’s naive to blame leftists and pro-Palestine advocates for the Democrats’ loss in 2024. The Democratic establishment campaign was basically just, “We’re not as horrible as the other guy”. That was plainly not enough to excite people to vote. It worked in 2020 at the start of a global pandemic, but it was not going to work again. People stayed home not because they internalized some message from chronically online leftists, but because Democrats failed to give them a reason to take time off work and stand in line.

        It’s in the data. Across four battleground states, over 900,000 registered Democratic voters stayed home compared to 2020; Trump only won those states by 500,000. If you look at analyses of the data (Cooperative Election Study, Pew Research Center, Catalist), many of them conclude that it’s because the Democrats failed to provide a real plan to improve the lives of their own voter base, especially in economically disadvantaged, nonwhite communities. It’s not even a question of the plan being too progressive or not enough—there was just no clear plan.

        In contrast, look at Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral primary campaign in New York City where they saw the highest voter turnout in history. Early voting more than doubled compared to 2021. His campaign was grounded in actually solving problems for everyday people, especially with regard to affordability, and it worked. Establishment Democrats who are in the pockets of billionaires are so terrified of this that they are pouring their money and endorsements into a guy who resigned in disgrace following sexual harassment allegations, instead of the guy who won the primary. What ever happened to “vote blue, no matter who?”

        If the Democrats want to actually win elections, they need to deliver a plan to the American people that shows they can follow through on making life materially better for everyone, not just their billionaire and corporate donors. Otherwise, they just seem like controlled opposition and no one will care to show up at the polls.

        Nyet, these were concerns of many peoples who support the Palestine. They had no support from others despite wild suggestion of the internet commenters. Candidate Harris also was not good supporter of working class against the capitalist owners.

          yes, they are valid concerns, but being encouraged to sit it out because the non–fascist party isn’t a perfect mirror of your moral ideals, Is the worst choice.

          Who of the viable candidates best represents the working class, Palestine, sustainability – that’s who you choose, otherwise the needle moves opposite of all your goals.

          Throwing away your vote because of a checklist of many possible moral ideals Is a behavior pattern that is being propagated to steer moral people away from electoral participation. The results are obvious.

      With changes in biotech, who knows? I don’t think age is the issue, by the way. Taco could be 35 for all I GAF. I sure hope that one day biotech makes 92 year olds in politics an everyday thing…

          He’s also a child rapist and a convicted felon for running a fraud scheme, you forgot to mention that while you were tripping over your single remaining shred of decency to fellate the fascist filth.
