How could this have ever been predicted, though? My flabbers are gasted.

Not saying I approve, but this is probably the least awful thing I've heard about him. I couldn't be less surprised his name would slow up there.

What does shock me is how the GOP manages to field such a deep bench of absolutely terrible people. Every single one of them is more vile than the last.

I know people that were assaulted by their parents, or those protected by their parents. This is tragic. It guts me to think about it.

The main benefit of AI search is to strip away all the bullshit advertising and SEO spam page garbage that makes regular Google such an unreliable mess. Step two of AI search is to find a way to get AI to spit out advertising making it just as unreliable and spammy as regular Google.

Just take your fucking billions of dollars and stop trying to make everything shittier, Google.

Hot and Active feeds pull in a lot of things that are up to 2 days old, but by 12-24 hours at the most, nearly all conversation is done. It's not nearly as rewarding to interact with posts on those feeds when so few people are even looking at them.

If everyone saw the same feeds, that might be something because maybe the conversation would continue, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case due to federation.

I've been trying to explain to my less enlightened family for years that requiring a trans man to use the women's bathroom only makes it easier for men to just walk in since having a beard and a dad bod no longer means you have to use the men's room.

These laws just don't make any sense and can only make whatever they are afraid of (men hearing their wives and daughters tinkle, apparently) worse.

I think it's not too late. We have lots of time before the election. I think anyone who can make peace in the Middle East, even if it's just walking things back to a previous stalemate, has a hell of a foreign policy win.

That being said, a reset to where things were before does little for the Palestinian people as regards the original cause of this violence, and I wonder whether they will be largely forgotten or if they will continue to be important to American politics the way Ukraine has.

I think you're right, but I think the angle is female solo athletes must put themselves in danger in order to train with the same freedom of their male counterparts.

In a memo to the Seattle police department on Wednesday, the King county prosecutor’s office noted that Dave had on his emergency lights, that other pedestrians reported hearing his siren, and that Kandula appeared to try to run across the intersection after seeing his vehicle approaching. She might also have been wearing wireless earbuds that could have diminished her hearing

It's possible this was her fault, but there are an awful lot of caveats in there. This looks like a kitchen sink of possible excuses. But also, we should have definitive answers to those questions before deciding not to prosecute, shouldn't we?

"He might not have been at fault."

"Oh! Case closed."

So, he's going to pardon Antifa and the FBI deep state? All his followers must be pissed. Oh they knew all along that was bullshit and are thrilled to do away with the rule of law? And that's a page right from the fascism playbook? Weird. No one could've predicted this.

I fucking hate it. I tip, and I tend to to generously because I'm comfortable in life and I know many are not, and I know tips are going to stay in the local economy. But more and more I'm finding these automatic tip selections popping up for people doing nothing more than ringing up my transaction. This isn't tipping, this is harassing us to donate to their underpaid employee charity.

Those kids exhibited poise and bravery that the cops didn't and couldn't even comprehend. To no avail. I don't know how much more can be said about this incident that hasn't already been, but I wish a pox on every one of those useless officers. I wish upon them the most horrible things that can't even be spoken of. What a way for kids to learn that adults, even the most trusted ones, can be stupid and disappointing.

I don't spend very much time on hate, but I'll make an exception for them.
