Dems know exactly how they could get a massive landslide in the midterms, and are choosing not to do it.

One thing I don’t think has got enough attention is the fact that it does a fetch from Truth Social as well, which means Trump personally gets at least some indirect data on the app’s users on a server that isn’t even slightly controlled or contracted by the government.

Either they’re all ironic [] or none of them are ironic Textbook false dichotomy, and not how I read it at all. Setup->Punchline is the most basic joke format in existence.

yes but actually no. There’s a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the “map pocket” that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That’s assuming the cord hasn’t fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during the accident, of course. The owner’s manual section on “how to open the door if there’s no power” spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps. (incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, “To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V”… it’s like they’re trying to be shit.)

A significant part of Jesus’ teachings is “don’t claim to speak on behalf of God”. Whoever made this meme is a blasphemer.

Presumably at their request, or at least their approval, since it doesn’t seem to be a thing in any other country. Most products in the US are imported, don’t pass the buck.

It’s extremely unhealthy for a free society, to have too much power imbalance between the ruling classes and the people.

I also thought this was a joke until I read the comments. Pistachios have always been pistachio coloured in the rest of the world. There’s something very American about drowning a perfectly healthy natural product in brightly coloured dye.

I don’t expect you to know who that model is because I didn’t know either, but what I did do was skim the comments first before posting a giant tirade and getting wooshed… ;)

Surely if it’s full of missing women’s driving licenses it’s not a sock drawer, it’s a missing women’s driving licenses drawer. Is the sort of reply I’d post if it were reddit.

One thing I find crazy is that at least half of all monitors today are the same res as CRTs from a quarter century ago. I had a $250 no-name brand CRT that handled 1600x1200 quite beautifully in the 1990s.

Never met her but there’s a chance she might genuinely not have known. My grandparents and great-grandparents thought a lot of family stuff was worth something but they never actually got it professionally valued. One thing that really stuck out was an ornate silver tea set that looked really nice, was in great condition, was a complete set, hallmarked, turned out to be worth fuck all because nobody actually wants silver tea sets in the 21st century, but they were a big thing a hundred years ago so there’s millions of them out there flooding the market. There was also a minor hoo-hah over inheritance of the family piano, which then turned out to be a mass-produced budget model that was no longer physically able to be tuned to concert pitch without risk of damage. Turns out budget pianos don’t become antique, they just become old and you have to pay someone to take it away.

In certain Austroasiatic languages, your wrists and ankles are your hand-necks and foot-necks.

LibreOffice is as good as Word. Which sadly means there are still no really good document editors out there.

I’m not actually sure. I’ve always answered it at face value, but I’m not a native speaker. I’ve probably been committing a faux pas, like disagreeing with a British person when they say “lovely weather today”.

The Chinese for “how do you do” translates as “have you eaten yet?”

“This technology is so useful we’re going to force it on you every way we can think of”

And they still haven’t figured out how to stop Netflix from crashing 15 minutes into every other show I watch. First year I had it no problems. Then one day about two years ago, bam, unwatchable.

I should save this comments section for when I need examples of why social media should be banned. A ton of people being dicks to each other over whether they use a honey dripper or a teaspoon.

Meanwhile in the UK pedestrian deaths are down despite the number of miles walked increasing. gov.uk/…/reported-road-casualties-in-great-britai…

A lot of races in Star Wars are dodgy stereotypes. Watto was so bad I think people just blanked it out.

For a moment I thought he was having a rare moment of clarity, but no, he was having a common moment of corruption
