    How is anyone surprised a weird little freak, was freaking out on the debate stage‽

  • What's an obsolete or incredibly obscure word you think people should know?
  • The are all great, but tawdry is fantastic!

    Rolls of the tongue, and we all come across several tawdry things/people in a given day.

  • Alabama illegally purged voters too close to election, Justice Department says
  • If I'm not mistaken, residents can vote in local elections in many places.

  • Is Google Maps getting worse?
  • I hate that "feature" so much. For a while it has used the speed of other's phones for your ETA. As in, if everyone is doing 10-15 over the speed limit, you're expected to go with the flow.
    I don't want a more accurate ETA. I want to arrive when it says I will if I follow all speed limits, and shave off a couple minutes if I am going faster than that.

  • I've been procrastinating calling the doctor for a week now...
  • I didn't go to the dentist for 4 years, moved & Covid & postponing making an appointment 50-100 times. I severely regret not going sooner.

  • MAGA is straight up losing it after Taylor Swift’s Harris endorsement
  • Yes, technically it could have come from anyone.
    So let's give the wannabe fascist republicans the benefit of the doubt, because that has historically been a very double plus good idea to do for authoritarians, and only good things will come from doing so...

  • Almost 1 in 4 millennials and Gen Z-ers say they won't have kids due to finances
  • Just guessing but "everyone is addicted to hookup culture" could come off a bit vaguely incel or the problem is everyone else, nothing wrong with me.
    Personally I have several friends & family members, who met their significant other through one "hookup app" or another. Most of them are married and have children nowadays, and are seemingly in very loving and caring relationships.
    Don't get me wrong, datings sucks or rather I sucked at it; on top of that the scene could be even worse than it used to be. But you know, Michael Jackson told us all to start by asking the man in the mirror, to make that change.

  • Automation be like
  • Doesn't even have to be the case. A 2min task done every (work)day, takes up a bit over 7 hours/year. After 2½ years it will be a benefit to have automated it!

  • Who ever thought it sounded good this way? I think it's because headphones weren't widely used back then.
  • Check if your TV is playing the surround track. Modern TVs are hell-bent on serving you the multi channel audio, regardless of it's being played through the built in stereo only speakers.
    Surround is mixed for high dynamic, talking is 'talking volume' and loud shit is indeed loud. In contrast stereo is pretty much normalized, so you can here everything at moderate volume.

  • Parent to Moderate YouTube
  • Very tough situation, wish I had something helpful to share, but any chance you can nudge them towards well sourced, largely promoting critical thinking, but also entertaining videos?

  • Trump ridiculed after accusing Kamala Harris of mistreating Mike Pence
  • Likely some form of secure/encrypted phone. There are special versions of phones made, not available to the general public.

  • grindr mutual aid
  • Yes, but even if you don't have one, everyone will have several dozen things which can turn a flathead screw/bolt with a bit of willpower.

  • Michigan AG Dares Supreme Court to Overturn Same-Sex Marriage Ruling: ‘Pry This Wedding Band From My Cold, Dead, Gay Hand’
  • Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. Frank Wilhoit

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Well, the top 25 wealth hoarding dragons paid 13.6 billion in federal income taxes in a span of 5 years. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trove-of-never-before-seen-records-reveal-how-the-wealthiest-avoid-income-tax
    So you were likely only very mildly exaggerating that claim.
    And before some class traitorboot-licker squeaks up about * the article looks at wealth which isn't taxed, only income is taxed.* 1 that wasn't the point & 2 you don't need income when you have that kind of assets. But they built their wealth by massively benefiting from the society they pay so very little back to.

  • They called an "emergency meeting" this week to solve the mystery
  • No, they were (presumably instructed to be) really weird about orders, after they changed the menu. There's a subway at work, I go 1-2/week, had been the same staff for long over a year when it happened. I asked for some chicken sub with a different cheese than the one on the menu, or something to that effect; was told I needed to get the 'build your own' to substitute.
    After that silly nonsense, I realized you could do whatever customizations you want when ordering in the app +use coupon codes repeatedly.

  • The Republicans were right! There was Election Fraud!!!
  • whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you"

  • The Republicans were right! There was Election Fraud!!!
  • Every accusation is a confession

  • Financial responsibility
  • That would make a lot of sense ...until we're reminded that USA is a kleptocracy, masquerading under a thick coating of we the people, freedom!™, liberty and justice for alla select group of people. Then it becomes clear the obvious and only solution, is for the government to pump a couple billions into Boeing.

  • CNN Will Buck Tradition and Put Commercial Breaks in Biden-Trump Presidential Debate
  • What democracy? The will of US citizens have practically no factor in which laws pass, big money on the other hand...

    That being said, congressmen & president are somewhat democratically elected - and voting is thrice as influential if you're in a low population state!.
    So you can influence if big money A's laws get passed, or big money C's (big money B gets their way regardless).
