Wow, I'm starting to think the military might be a net negative on this earth.

I was definitely confused. I am a comp sci student, but I was also an Amazon driver for a very short while and that meaning didn't occur to me.

I just checked wikipedia. Finland's murder rate is 0.982 per 100k. Europe as a whole is 2.1 per 100k. US is 5.763 per 100k. So we are over 5 times as likely to be killed. Who would have guessed that rampant inequality paired with having more guns than people was a bad idea.

Republicans went hard on the conspiracy crowd for support. QAnon, antivax etc. /r/conspiracy became a conservative propaganda group. A lot of the diehard Trump people are very invested in this narrative.

It's going to be difficult for the party to say, "oh yea, that thing we've been feeding into for years, please stop immediately" and have people listen. Some are going to go along, but a lot won't. It's become their identity.

I am thinking about that issue with Copilot and SharePoint where Copilot would answer queries about other users emails and schedules.

So he declared fentanyl from Canada a National Emergency to give himself an excuse to use emergency powers, and is now trying to stop the government from doing anything to combat the actual harm of fentanyl.

He's so fucking transparent, but most Americans read below the seventh grade level so it doesn't matter.

I usually just export my shopping list to either PDF or html and email it to myself so I have it on my phone. I use pen and paper for things I want to change on the go.

If you are just going to verify the info, why not just find out yourself and save yourself some time?

Depends where you are. Most in the US pronounce them the same, but they are all distinct in Philly for example. But we pronounce "berry" and "bury" the same.

Maybe he's referencing when Tucker Carlson was upset that they made the green M&M less sexy, y'know because of The Woke
