Nah. Then they’d just be embarrassed they had been pushing a book with such a woke lefty agenda. Some might even learn that they can throw away most of that commie stuff in the later parts of the book, and just keep the juicy bits they liked in the first half about how men are in charge, and slavery is okay so long as you follows some rules. Oh, except Revelations. That part rocks, let’s keep that. In fact… Let’s make it happen. That would be so sick.

Shit, I’d do that job for minimum wage, if only to see Musk fired.

I somehow don’t think we’ll find a site that breaks down every purchase the government has made, let alone one that specifically detects and highlights corruption.

So I guess the official budgets are the best I can do to helpfully answer the question. Sorry.

Sure, but that quote calls it a “virus” but the headline says “fungus”.

Just did a quick search, “interactive chart of us state and federal budgets”.

Found this government site for federal budgets: https://www.cbo.gov/interactives

For instance, here’s a page with charts for the 2023 federal budget: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/59727

I would hope similar sites exist for most, if not all, of the states.

Imagine how hard it would be to resist wording things in the Imperative just… Accidentally.

You get frustrated, yell “Shut up!” at someone in passing, and that person is now mute unless you realize your mistake and undo it.

Horrible article title, obviously written to be misleading clickbait.

They didn’t delete the pension fund.

They deleted the Google Cloud account running the management of said fund.

It was inaccessible for a week, but has been fixed.

Big fuck up, and big news. But on the level of “hurts Alphabet stock and panics people for a week” not “bankrupts countless people, maybe crushing a whole nation’s economy.”

Might subcategorize, like “Frankensteinian irony.”

Debt strike!

Debt strike!

Debt strike!

Confidence? Not so much. But it’s less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.

In short, my thought process goes like this:

• Approaching women can make them uncomfortable.
• I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
• Therefore, I don’t approach women.

I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that’s a shit show unless you’re in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I’ve been single 10+ years.

I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

What else do people expect you to comment? Like…

Neat.

Or…

Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

?

What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details… seems fair to me.

Currently somewhere around 10 years single.

I struggle with social cues, anxiety, etc.

It’s lonely.

Golly! Three whole data points?! Now we are cooking with gas!

You picked two random days, compared their active user counts, and concluded that it must indicate a continuous trend.

Yesterday, it was 60°F out. Today it’s 30°F out. Clearly, by next week, everyone in my town will be dead by freezing.

Experts struggle with statistics. Laymen, doubly so.

EDIT:

Also, that’s only a difference of 7%, so it’s not even that drastic.

EDIT2:

Also also, what does any of this have to do with your post being removed? What was the post? Did the mod/admin give you a reason for removal?

Which explains why it was standard procedure for presidents to put their money in a blind trust. And why Trump didn’t.

The population of NYC is 8 million, and they had fewer than 1M votes for mayor? That, like, 12.5%.

Even if you limit it to just citizen population, I found that number to be 6-7 million. Thats still only a 14-16% voter turnout.

The fuck?

Yes! I’ve said for a while that any public statement by a politician should be treated as being “under oath”, punishable as perjury as applicable.

I had never heard that before, and that now my truth. It makes so much sense.

The previous conviction was overturned on a procedural issue, like a mistrial. He wasn’t pardoned or found not guilty, so it isn’t double jeopardy. It’s just a “redo” to make sure another jury would still convict without the procedural issue.

the [worst] Democrat [is] better than the best Republican

That’s generally true, but not in the hypothetical. I’d honestly vote for Mitt Romney before I’d vote for hypothetical Democrat-Ticket Trump.
