Dudes will look at this and say, "hell yeah"
  • I use an app that's set up to show previews of posts; I saw the stick as I was dragging my finger to scroll.

    I also may or may not be under the influence. :)

  • My heart legitimately sped up when I finally scrolled far enough to see what makes this stick so exciting. That is a quality playing stick.

    Women in China get phone calls from government workers asking: 'Are you pregnant now?'
  • The survey would target women of child-bearing age, between the ages of 15 and 49

    A fifteen year old girl is not a "woman," she is a child. All of this is appalling but that line stood out in particular to me.

    Cognitive Decline? Trump Goes on Weird Tangent Explaining Water
  • Hey, hey, since we have sharknados, it's important to specify what kind of hurricane we have. Could've been a furricane - much more damaging to Trump and his ilk.

    Elon Musk Says Trump Will Bring 'Temporary Hardship' For Americans
  • Well, it won't be hardship anymore when we're all dead, so there's that light at the end of the tunnel.

    Or is that just a self-driving Tesla about to hit me?

    Judge Cannon refuses to recuse self from case of man accused of trying to shoot Trump
  • Not sure if you're joking, so wanted to clarify, just in case - It's not that I "saw the light"; I was never in the dark and am not a conspiracy theorist. My initial comment was meant to not be taken seriously.

    Judge Cannon refuses to recuse self from case of man accused of trying to shoot Trump
  • Cannon has shown herself to be inept enough in her position before; I could see her 'accidentally' messing up and needing a mistrial.

    Or could take it even crazier and have him go to prison and quietly squirrel him away somewhere under a new name. (Even better if he were to "die" in some method where his remains wouldn't be pristine so as to make it easier to falsify its identity.)

    Ugh. Typing that made me feel like I'm making arguments to treat this seriously; feels gross. I don't understand how people can genuinely believe conspiracy theories; if you pull at any one of the loose threads, the whole theory falls apart. My 5% has decreased. 😂

  • (Don't take this seriously. Or do; I'm not sure it would make a difference in all the insanity in the world.)

    The conspiracy theorist in me says he'll disappear into the woodwork and, effectively, go free because it was a false flag.

    My 'reasoning':

    • Trump wasn't in the guy's line of sight.

    • The guy didn't shoot.

    • When it happened, wasn't Trump having some struggles with his publicity? I forget the details, but I wanna say he wasn't getting as much attention at the time.

    • Trump didn't get much lasting attention from the first attempt, and it certainly didn't cause the country to rally against around him. Why not stage a second one to gain sympathy?

    Again, I'm only maybe 5% serious here but, if the other side gets to have their insane conspiracies, I think it's okay for me to have this one.

    Edit to correct me using the opposite word I meant.

    Washington Post cancellations hit 250,000 – 10% of subscribers
  • You are missing literally all of the context. WaPo has endorsed in every presidential election since 1988. Suddenly, weeks before an incredibly contentious election, and right around the time Bezos-owned businesses met with Trump, this Bezos-owned publication decides to "return" to its "roots" (after three and a half decades). Even if it's not actually sinister (debatable, but we may never know), the appearance of impropriety is a serious issue and damages WaPo's credibility.

    Stay numb
  • It's a good thing I'm a Pink Floyd fan because I am comfortably numb.

    Or is that the dissociation talking so I can get through the next week, at least? Eh, six of one, half dozen of the other.

    Why Is This Election Even Close?
  • What's terrible is that it's the right hand that keeps covering us with shit while those of us on the left hand try desperately to get the soap. Not enough soap for all the shit. :(

    With a week to go, Harris, Trump trade insults.
  • There's no "trading" of insults and the article didn't even provide any examples of insults Harris may have made. Sure had plenty from Trump, though.

    This type of reporting drives me insane and it's always these news sites that don't allow comments to point out their obvious bias.

    Dear Americans, how do you go back to normal after such an election campaign?
  • Unfortunately, when "politics" equals "whether certain people deserve basic human rights," it's not a minor issue. I don't keep company with people who think I'm subhuman.

    Want to buy jewlery as a gift for the girlfriend, I know nothing about jewlery, where to start?
  • Seconding everything here, but emphasizing point 2. Some folks have metal allergies or sensitivities - nickel is a common one, for example.

    Surgical steel is usually safe, but still best to confirm she doesn't have any particular sensitivities.

  • Hi all,

    I have backups turned off everywhere I can find the ability to do so on my pixel 8 pro, but am regularly (multiple times per week) getting notifications that my Google storage is almost full. Lo and behold, every time I check drive, I suddenly have a backup that I have to delete, again and again. Does anyone have any tips? It's really making me regret getting a Google phone, since I don't need my phone connected to my email.

    Thanks in advance! :)

    What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

    For example, in English I might call someone a "good egg," meaning they're a nice person. Or, if it's raining heavily, I might say "it's raining cats and dogs."

    I'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

    Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
