It's good to have this reminder, but this is nothing new.

My friends, relatives, coworkers and I have been getting these for years.
People need to apply thinking skills when faced with spam. After all, when would you ever have given USPS your cell phone number and permission to text you, and if the address on the parcel is wrong, how would they ever match your address record with that cell phone number?

Funny how for me, the only trust tarnsihed by false claims of voter fraud...

...is my trust of the person making the false claims of voter fraud.

But then, I have critical reasoning skills and know how to use them, AND, my ethics prevent me from making false claims that I don't really believe, claims that function as a distracting charade while I pursue power, money, control and retribution.

How would the cult members behave, as individuals, if he personally accounted that...

...he was going to murder THEM?

Not in an indirect way, like denying COVID was spreading like wildfire, or vaccinations are deadly, but telling them to their face that they are evil and must be eradicated? Would they resist, “oh no, sir, you’re wrong!” Or would they happily jump into their graves because the orange pistule is god?

There used to be one page. Accessed from a tab at the top of every page,

that led to a page that listed ALL forums. If I didn’t see the one I was looking for among the groups they were filed under, I could do a “find” with my web browser. I haven’t yet located any page on DU4 that lists ALL forums. Such a thing would be very helpful, I think.

Hmmm....I did a search for “forums” and found this page:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forums&mode=show_all
Which does list all forums but not in a user-friendly format, especially on a phone. And I still can’t find any link that leads to that page or a pretty version of it.

Gorgeous photo, and beautiful land below! You found a particularly spectacular location.

Thank you for sharing. Whereabouts on the Rim is this? As you very likely know (but for the benefit of those who don't), it's a very long escarpment, running at least a couple hundred miles from west of Sedona, eastward into the Gila Range of western New Mexico.

It could also have something to do with greater human population on the planet,

crowded into places that are more easily habitable, such as river valleys and flood plains.

Could also have to do with increasing fraction of the population living in terrible poverty.

If there's torrential rainfall in a place no one lives, or lives downstream from, we don't care so much.
