The Biden administration is shifting language used by the government

At the Department of Homeland Security, the phrase “illegal alien” is being replaced with “noncitizen.” The Interior Department now makes sure that mentions of its stakeholders include “Tribal” people (with a capital “T” as preferred by Native Americans, it said). The most unpopular two words in the Trump lexicon — “climate change” — are once again appearing on government websites and in documents; officials at the Environmental Protection Agency have even begun??on Twitter.

?

And across the government, L.G.B.T.Q. references are popping up everywhere. Visitors to the White House website are now??when they fill out a contact form: she/her, he/him or they/them.

?

It is all part of a concerted effort by the Biden administration to rebrand the government after four years of President Donald J. Trump, in part by stripping away the language and imagery that represented his anti-immigration, anti-science and anti-gay rights policies and replacing them with words and pictures that are more inclusive and better match the current president’s sensibilities.

Again, you seem to misunderstand your own thought process.? You said the following:??

B2: "The Texas snow storm may have been a test of a geo warfare weapon."

I looked it up and found that this idea, specifically tied to the Texas snow storm, is rooted in a conspiracy theory.? The issue is not whether cloud seeding is real.?The issue is that you are supposing that the Texas storm may have been a "test of a geo warfare weapon."? ?From where do you get your information?? This isn't a belief rooted in reality, I'm sorry to say.??

You and Willard are alike in that you both like to throw out propaganda that belies common sense, spreads disinformation, and serves no valid purpose.? I'm not sure he believes the propaganda he spews.? You, OTOH present as a true blue conspiracy theorist.? I find this very funny, as you seem to be able to logic out computer systems, but can't seem to apply logic to your assumptions or to what you read and listen to.??

This is the statement I was responding to:??

B2: "More and more people aren't falling for the vax propaganda."

EM: I wondered if it was backed up by any data, so I checked the CDC website first.? And, there, I find out the following:?

From September to December 2020, intent to receive COVID-19 vaccination increased from 39.4% to 49.1% among adults and across all priority groups, and nonintent decreased from 38.1% to 32.1%.?

So, when you say "more and more people..." What are you talking about?? The data shows that intent to receive the vaccine is increasing, not decreasing.? What people?? The CDC has identified groups of people that are most prevalent within the non-intent crowd.? I thought you might fall into one of those groups, which is why I asked.? Just curious.??

Re: "Most of the population reached herd immunity back in June?"? That is a completely nonsensical sentence.? Check on the definition of herd immunity maybe???

Get over what?? ?

Re: For Willy: A moving experience

 

And if first you don't succeed try, try again.? Success using another ploy so now I can use the bigger new drive.? The simple solution was to clone the old drive entering not by partition to the new one then delete the data partition and clone that partition to a larger one on the new drive.? However I may just format the new drive again and repartition it to what I actually wanted and make sure the MBR table is up front (that's what didn't work with the first try and what the second try did).
