Making assumptions about the way other people feel or think is unproductive and unnecessary. Maybe you want them to be mad, to fight back, but you're just some words on a screen right now, so it only comes off as being an asshole.

You're equating reading to writing, which are distinct enough skill sets that they deserve separate conversations. I think this is less a matter of willpower and more about actual capability.

I get so caught up in making sure my meaning can't possibly be misinterpreted that I get lost on my way to the point. I guess I don't want to be a cherry-picked example of somebody being stupid on the Internet.

It's fine, just make whatever rules you want! I'm sure we'll still have the power to stop you when we're tired of your tantrum!

The reason the pilot ejected is unknown to the publication, not the military.
Also, it looks like the entire article is based on a boilerplate tweet informing the public that an investigation is underway, everybody's safe, and if you have information please contact them.
If you want to write a click-bait article based on no information, this is how you do it.

Have you looked at big-ass computer monitors? They probably have a lot of things you don't want, but I've yet to see a smart one. Maybe a cheap one would fit the bill?

Is he being shamed for his sexuality or his hypocrisy? I would have thought that being in the gay porn industry would give you a different perspective on things.

Going to have to disagree with you there. I've gotten plenty of use out of chat GPT in multiple scenarios. I find it difficult to imagine what exactly you think is useless about it because it seems so indispensable to me at this point.

Is the economy an outside force or is it controlled in some way? If it's uncontrollable, does that mean that there's no way to insulate ourselves from its effects? Not as individuals, but as a society. And if it's controlled, is there a way to control it in such a way as to benefit more people?

I suppose I'm coming from a mindset of "billionaires should not exist," so take it with a grain of salt when I say I agree that it's entirely possible to do everything "correctly" to improve your station in life and only do worse regardless of what the economy is doing. Further, I think that outcome is not only desirable for the shockingly few people who directly and indirectly benefit from it, but that it is the natural outcome of such a system to begin with.

I think so. I get the same sort of articles pushed on me in my news feed, like "How this 20 year old's side hustle allowed her to buy a house with cash!" It feels sometimes like a narrative being pushed by media conglomerates to keep people hopeful or to sway public opinion, but I assume the actual answer is that those articles generate a reliable number of clicks and therefore revenue.

So yeah, it's infuriating to consider that people are being manipulated like that, but in most cases it doesn't really affect me, so my fury stays at a mild level.

It sounds like you think this shouldn't be here, but do you think it's not worth talking about or that we should all be more than mildly infuriated?

What's the justification? That the numbers are coming from Gaza officials?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand how that makes it useless. I get the feeling that you just want to feel smug, so if it makes you feel better go ahead, I guess.

For clarity's sake, the original intent behind copyright was definitely to protect authors and thereby foster creativity, but corporations like Disney have lobbied very successfully over the years to prevent original works from becoming public domain.

Meanwhile, in classic fashion, those same companies have taken public domain works and turned them into ludicrously successful IPs!

I argue that this is a positive aspect of capitalism that our governments have unduly suppressed in favor of corporate sponsors (further solidified by an increasing legal allowance of such sponsorships), and that we should return to a more reasonable timeframe for full exclusivity.

In general I think emojis add nonverbal context clues to conversations and in my experience are a valuable tool for conveying information quickly. I'm seeing them used in all but the most formal of cases in a work environment and I don't think that particular train is going to be stopping anytime soon.

Aw come on, leave Florida out of it! At least our national embarrassment voluntarily stepped down from his presidential campaign, that's got to count for something, right?

Then we can finally find out what he's been trying to say!

"Rough what, boy? Rough what!?"

Hell, Fable flashback!

You and me both. Come on, we don't need these bad drivers bringing us down!

PILLS HERE

But as you just demonstrated, the generalized term should be used when specifics aren't available.

Ah, I see now, my bad

The only way I see it as being negative is to look at it like the "yeah, okay" Jennifer Lawrence meme.

Is it cardinal or orthogonal?
