Can anybody help me understand this? I can't make it be 196 or anything. I'm at a loss.

Serious answer? Just wait 4 years. Rename it to Project 2029 or 2033 or 2037, as often as needed. That's the really exhausting part. Now that they have this plan, we have to defeat it every time. The figurehead is not as important as the plan. They'll be another candidate willing to become a dictator, I'm sure.

I was doing some napkin math for how many femtoseconds there are between each frame and how that compares to Planck time but this response does a better job capturing how cool this is.

If your primary goal is finding out how to get from A to B and not caring about the very fastest way to get from A to B right now, then you don't need traffic data.

I feel like Trish and Boris are really punching above their weight class in that list...

Are you saying that two of the most powerful financial institutions in the world would bribe the politician who does what the billionires want and has explicitly requested bribes in the past? Surely you're not serious.

This is usually a good point. However, from my reading of just the snippet and some quotes others posted (and without reading the article myself because I am lazy), it may be that they are prohobiting the inclusion of preferred pronouns. If that's accurate, then it means they are refining their bigotry to be more precise.

I searched for the quote to find it because I, too, was curious. This is from I Saw the TV Glow, a 2024 film.

Know Your Meme says the firing is a false rumor. I don't even know that she works at a preschool... because I have not and will not research that... because I am lazy.

According to Snopes and PolitiFact, you were looking at a fabricated list of Trump's victims and settlements to make legal issues go away. I have very little doubt victims exist but this list of names and dollars is not based on fact.

Yes, but also: Everything the government does costs money because someone has to make sure it's being done. This stupid SAVE thing would have cost money to enforce and, therefore, it could be argued that it is related to the budget. That's not a a very good argument, but it's enough to slow down the process while they argue over it.

If you have to cross 8 lanes of traffic to end up behind someone, I don't know of that still counts as "in passing".

Just because "I have money but I am not happy" is a true statement, that does not mean that "if you have money, you will not be happy" is a true statement.

I do not understand what is happening here. I do not understand why you are spending your time like this. I don't know why there seems to be a few users dedicated to downvoting people.adding context to a sensational - if true - headline. I don't think I'm going to succeed at this, but I have some free time so I'll try one more time. Here's a hypothetical:

Say there was many who went crazy and stabbed 30 people at the mall. Half of the victims are white and half are black. This is inline with the racial demographics in the area where the population is about a 50/50 mix of white and black people. A headline is written that reads "Man Stabs 15 Black People".

Now, this headline is completely accurate and truthful. The crazy guy totally stabbed 15 black people. However, they also stabbed 15 white people. Only including part of the data in the headline gives the impression that the man was only stabbing black people. He totally wasn't and that totally isn't what the headline says, but it is what it implies.

The author of the headline could have and should have said that the Bible did not include the entire constitution or that it left out most of the amendments (including those ending (most) slavery and allowing women to vote). They could have but they didn't. People choose words intentionally. In this case, they chose words that made people believe that only those two amendments were left out. Any user could read the article and find the whole truth there. Outrage drives engagement, though, and engagement sells ads. I get why the author made the choice they did. It was not factually wrong and it probably achieved their goal of greater engagement. That doesn't mean it wasn't misleading.

Here's some bits from Merriam-Webster. Mislead: : to lead in a wrong direction or into a mistaken action or belief often by deliberate deceit : to lead astray : give a wrong impression

Also, if the intent was to include only the amendments that Republicans like, I would have expected at least the 11th to be there.

What I would really like is to be able sign on to my windows account and then log into steam as me without typing in another password BUT the kids can't log into steam and then switch to my account because they don't have my password and they're not signed in to Windows as me.

Tupoah Country Tribune is a satirical site. The picture you linked is about halfway down this article:

It may just be a difference in use case. I don't use navigation apps for my daily and local trips. I use navigation when I'm going to be driving hundreds of miles to a new location and don't already know how to get there.

There's a better discussion over there. Trump is dumb. This version of the Bible is dumb. The headline is not wrong but is (probably intentionally) misleading.
