Interesting statistic. I haven't tried the drug, so my response is due to the results I've read reported. I'm a bit surprised that it's as high as 1/4.

Contrary to the scaremongering we hear, the world is not full of terrorists. They exist, don't get me wrong, but the reason we're so afraid of them is that our fear of them is incredibly useful for people who want to control us.
And also, the ones who do exist aren't engineers. So a shooting, or a stabbing, that's pretty easy to figure out how to do. Derailing a train? That's physics. Physics is much harder than pointing a gun and pulling the trigger.
The most common side effect I've seen reported is nausea. Sometimes that can lead to vomiting, but it doesn't usually.

Nope, they killed it because it's adequate for word processing for a lot of non-technical people, but they wanted to nudge and nag people into paying them $100/yr for an Orifice 365 subscription. Got to keep milking the sheep.
It's there. You just have to turn the new crap off, and set
Or, better yet, just use the old Notepad.
Also, for those who need advanced features like tables and spell check, isn't Wordpad still a thing in 'doze 11?
No, it's not. It was removed in an update some time back, to push people into an Office subscription.
The eliminated Wordpad to push people into Office subscriptions. But they need Wordpad functions in something included with Windows.
