With 5G melting our brain, it's hard to imagine someone can still stay oblivious to what's going on around them. But they do. Whether they choose to disconnect themselves or not, there are people who live off the grid and seriously fall behind the world. To us strangers, the most interesting part of their detachment is probably its end. The sudden mind blow that sweeps across their entire perception of reality.

Damn. I wish there was somewhere she and people in a similar situation (like that former prisoner, for example) could ask for help

They had to bring his former commanding officer over to convince him the war was over. He did not believe people when they told him. He thought it was American tricks.

Poor guy :( They should keep prisoners informed at least about basic things in the outside world so they can prepare them. This is so infuriating

People liked Bernie, but then he said Hillary was cool, people didn't like the sound of Hillary, so they voted Trump, and we ended up with a clown that turned out to be actual Hitler. Russia was doing something or rather at the time.

I was in first grade when trump became president and honestly, I had no idea why people were sad I was like: why we sad?! I am still confused on why people were crying and sad but hey! I got a little reason why near the end of his election and when Biden won. trump is so selfish i'd say U^U

My brother and I just looked at each other and shook our heads in disappointment when we heard the news. We kind of expected him to win. Please never make the same huge mistake, people. Trump stank, stinks, and will always stink.

I remember coming in with a happy expression while one of my teachers told us we weren’t allowed to talk about the election. She looked depressed. She was one of those teachers who picked on kids she decided not to like, myself included. She would call out students if they got questions wrong on a quiz or criticize the acting of some students even when they were doing the best they could with whatever they had to memorize (Theater class, and not every script she gave us was one that could be memorized in mere minutes). So, to see her depressed gave me a Joker-like grin.

to cherie aline sydney, it isn't biden that said "Because you talk about a certain power of the telephone and the calls where they would call and say, no, we don't want to do that," that said "When it was all completed, FEMA -- everybody was there, doctors -- we ended up getting doctors, they said we can't man it. I said, so we'll man it -- and woman it, and that's what we did." There are literally thousands more examples. Those two were just from one speech, and I had to do homework so I didn't finish reading the transcript. So please tell me, who is the babbling idiot?

I never laughed so hard in my life watching the news with all those poor little waifs in college crying and sobbing on each other's shoulders. Apparently the college was going to make "crying closets" for them. I mean - really? (this from a non-American).

Dumb, Trump might be a jerk, but he did more good than most presidents. He brought so many jobs to Americans. One Biden's first day in office he eliminates thousands of American jobs. Biggest mistake ever America!!

Thats hilarious shows how brainwashed people really are. Its no wonder the people in charge think we are walking mindless sacks of meat. Its all a dog and pony show trump and Hillary probably were having drinks together and laughing about how snowballed the majority of people are. Wake up people they are not your friends and they don't want what is best for you

Someone posted asking if he was assassinated but got downvoted and removed their comment. Not everyone is familiar with US politics from the 1970’s, so others may have a similar question. Richard Nixon was not assassinated but resigned due to withholding information about individuals who were stealing political information from the other party. He knew he would likely be impeached, so he resigned instead. His name has come up frequently in the last four years as many drew a parallel between him and the 45th US President and the difference in how they handled similar charges. If this is interesting, check out information on Nixon and the Watergate scandal, but hopefully I saved some people from having to do a Google search.

I remember I was at a meeting when 9/11 happened. I'm an English teacher in Europe, and this happened in literally my first month of teaching at a school with primarily Muslim kids. Let's just say that the first two weeks were mostly talking. The kids were incredibly scared that they'd be blamed ...

There are still a lot of people who believe that this attack was staged by BLM, Anti-fa and the democrats in a joined effort to give Trump a bad reputation. Which is ridiculous, Trump already had a bad reputation.

Not really a "LOL". They should have informed him before he left. The shock of it could send him spiraling back into whatever he was in rehab for.

Alphabet Soupy: not implausible at all. My mom didn't get out and she doesn't see/talk to anyone. For that matter, neither do I. We have no cable or satellite and use only streaming services. Sometimes news is a couple of weeks old before we finally get it.
