How horrible that people have to support a platform just to cross check on the blathering of a dementia patient.

Not to mock dementia patients at all, it is a horrible thing to have to go through, but literally the same thing one might have to do to keep track of an elderly relative to make sure they aren’t signing over the title to their house or sending their monthly income to Nigeria.

I literally broke an accidental streak of not logging into x for like a year to make sure the last three ‘screenshots’ of trump weren’t real, including this one. Seriously though, was the ‘praise Allah’ one real or not? I honestly can’t tell for sure if it’s satire or just something one of his handlers deleted.

God i hope the fact that they refuse to call this a war ruins his plan of election interference where he claims we can’t have elections ‘as normal’ because ‘we’re in the middle of a war’. Wartime act to insist on weapons production? Nope, not at war!

You know what? Now it’s even holier. Everyone who thinks it’s important gets an all expense paid trip to the suddenly ‘super effective at getting you to heaven quicker’ land.

You know what kind of person doesn’t have to tell people they are intelligent?

Yeah, i think we probably agree on most things in that direction. My view is that early on they failed to focus on the glaring, obvious issues and instead used the ridiculousness of him as candidate as click-bait for views, and then later continued to focus on and fall for every misdirection he and his cloud of followers dropped, both intentionally and unintentionally. In my view they ended up hiding all the legitimate issues in a smokescreen of click-bait and likely doomed us to either Armageddon or who knows how long a period of cleanup or simply slow decline.

This ‘his kid is going to avoid the draft’ angle, when not only has a draft not been brought up, but also that he simply falls into the range of ‘all tall kids that would be exempt’ is just the latest is a series of stories obviously relying on a false start just to get people riled up if they read just the headline.

Not even close, there are so many things to vilify and mock him for, this is more like diluting the pool.

If someone does 10 shitty things, you don’t make up 100 other weaker accusations that can be easily dismissed or disproven. Its like someone kills 10 people and someone starts making up dumb little lies about them shoplifting and tripping old ladies and kicking 100 puppies instead of just the one they actually kicked. If a lot of what you’re hearing about the guy is a bunch of lies and half truths, it’s a whole lot easier for him to convince you that the ‘killing 10 people’ is just a bunch of exaggerations too.

The outrage might be a little over the top, but the sentiment is valid. Click baity shit like this is why no one pays attention to the actual outages going on.

If people are constantly seeing articles like ‘Trump didn’t say he would rule out pushing toddlers into wood chippers to combat climate change’ and the article goes on to talk about how he was asked about what he had for breakfast, then outrage is a little hard to keep up. I actually think that’s the worst/best tactic trump has used… Keep the outage going so steadily that people are worn out when the real stuff is out in the headlines.

Indeed

Damn scientists and their fancy equipment, my tape measure will barely get down to the 0.8(14) fm range

Right, it would be started basically exactly the opposite. Certainly not a statement followed by an if block.

Those would all start with the if, followed by two conditions, not a statement and then an if. There would be a condition to evaluate, followed by then/else?

Maybe it’s just worse when written. The period at the end of the sentence makes it hard to see how it could be misunderstood.

To your point though, not sure if I’m aware of any programming language that would continue a statement with a following if block. Far more likely that it would fail due to lack of an element to apply the 6 to rather than having a pointer to the previous object, or he would try getting what ever the literal version of a 6 would be, or maybe some slang version.

That does make sense, but seems like if that was a component of the situation it might have been mentioned, but it references him going in to finish watching the game in the living room. Sounds a whole lot more like a drinking thing and less likely to be about ‘what’ he was pissed off about.

Head first, but the line up to the top has a really good view.

Well, can you imagine being given a million dollars and someone coming along and saying ‘oh, sorry, you didn’t withdraw that in time and now it’s no longer there, and you owe use a $100 transaction fee’. That would really suck, wouldn’t it?

Now imagine that happening 10 times a day, and you can start to imagine how horrible some of these billionaires feel every day!

Of course to make it more realistic, your job wouldn’t require you to actually ever come into the office or do anything, they would occasionally double or triple your salary based on the stock market, and instead of it being a million dollars, it would be a dollar or so every once in awhile and you wouldn’t know what the transaction fee was because it is effectively less than a rounding error on your current balance. Also banks will loan you money and just write it off if you don’t pay it back with no impact to your credit score.

Once again, wtf does this have to do with an ‘NFL game’ that deserves space in the title? He was drinking in one place and brought that into a family shared space and didn’t like being confronted about it. Based on the rest of the article it could have been a cooking show or Bluey for all the difference it seemed to make. It’s not like there was some detail about the football game that passed him off so bad he decided to shoot two people, so why the hell is that part of the title aside from click bait?

Not sure if you’re being intentional obtuse, but the point is that some things are more important than protecting members of your own in group that don’t deserve protecting, even if it harms the group short term.

No doubt there are considerations to have it happen far enough ahead of the mid-terms so they can recover if it does implicate them, but doesn’t the fact that Democrats are willing to push for releasing the document and Trump is pushing to hide them tell you a while lot about what’s really likely in there?

Ha, that would make sense, but nope, the answer was ‘anything’. Animal husbandry or underwater basket weaving? Didn’t matter, just had to stapled to the letters BA.

Except for ‘genius’. A PhD meant you will likely be extremely well ‘informed’ about a specific topic in a very narrow field. So well informed that you will be able to come up with ‘something’ worth saying even to others that are well informed in that same field. It’s a pretty low bar with an extremely high motivation/focus/effort requirement.

I think it’s similar to a job we were hiring for that was essentially cold calling companies too sell licenses for Microsoft. To apply you were required to have a BA. A BA in what, you might ask? Well that didn’t even make it onto the form we used. It was just a checkbox. It was literally a gauge to see if you’d been able to stick through a program like that.
