  • I think the reason (some) people haven’t noticed is the same reason family members don’t notice until it gets really bad.

    Yes, and something else also: when somebody is a “colorful” character like Trump, it becomes even harder to distinguish what is somebody’s normal behavior from the effects of the dementia.

    My Dad was somewhat eccentric and neither my Mom, my siblings or I realized there was something seriously wrong with him for a long time: we just assumed he was being weird like he always was, until he become erratic enough, and most importantly violent - which he had never been - that we brought him to the doctor, who showed us the MRI: he was in an advanced state of FT dementia, but we just didn’t see it. And then with hindsight, it all became clear all of the sudden.

    Speaking of Google: has anybody noticed how unbearably slow Google sites are lately?

    I almost never use Google search anymore. But I hit it the other day because I couldn’t find some really obscure kernel error message, and the damn thing froze Firefox. And it did so repeatedly and consistently after restarting the browser, until I killed almost all Google scripts in uBO.

    The same “experience” can be felt on any Google site, like Map.
