I got this very welcome message today (shared with permission), and it's a big part of why I'm so public about what I've been through and am continuing to work on with depression.

Comforting lies are much more appealing to many people than complicated truths. That’s why revivalist preachers can get so rich peddling them. You’ve answered your own question quite perfectly here.
This is my final night following Nigel Farage around the country. He is being greeted like a revivalist preacher by large crowds. MPs who dismiss him and patronise are misguided. They have to ask: why is he selling out halls across the country? Many of them won't like the answer

Well, so far this is proving impossible, because part-way through the uninstallation it fails with a "file not found" error. What file isn't found? I have no idea, the logs (both dism and cbs) don't appear to actually say.

OK, *enabling* the already-enabled feature with dism, and then re-disabling it seems to have fixed this, now it's all disabled.

This is a consistent position and I wish more forced birthers had the honesty to adopt it
Pro-lifers have unintentionally sowed the seeds of injustice by exempting mothers who get abortions from prosecution. They, too, should face consequences. fdrl.st/czl
