Not the person you were talking too, but I think where you're losing people is that no one else is looking at his face and thinking "measles"...there is a picture in the article and that's not what measles looks like...at all. In any way. Your continued insistence that it "might be contagious" when no reasonable person would come to that conclusion really makes it look like your trying to use an excuse to be uncomfortable with the guy for daring to be in public.

Also stop trying to equate this with coughing. No one whose made it to adulthood thinks this guy has any sort of contagious pox, that not what they look like and it doesn't take a doctor to know that.

Isn't it actually a precision driving technique to break with your left foot? Or isnthat just something I accidentally made up in my head?

That's not even a swastika it's a 45. It just really feels like it's a swastika when you see the fanta fascist.

A lot of people would consider that good...not worse. Like the UK has a cap on the amount of money and time that some campaigns can be. That allows candidates who aren't flooded with money to have more of a chance at actually being elected. It helps make the formation of a two party system run by the Koch brothers less likely...

This says non-tipped work, which is unusual even in the US.

I think he's giving them away. The big sign in back says "free sign saturday". He probably thinks all his neighbors will want one of the damn things.

I understood it as the defense attorneys of the other 50 men being charged. They don't all have the same attorney.

I had a partner once who sat straight up in bed and announced, "Somesone else is in here." They then promptly fell back asleep...me, not so much...

Most of Gen Zs slang makes sense and you can easily figure it out from context. It even sounds better than older slang in conversation. Skibidi is an exception. W.T.F is that supposed to mean? Is it a verb? An adjective? Both? It sounds dumb and seems to mean nothing...

Nanowrimo is already in flames because of last years 'groomer mod' scandal. Why would they choose now to weigh in on such a controversial topic rather than working on filling all the staff vacancies, rebuilding trust in their community, and developing new volunteers to replace all the ones they fired and ghosted? All they've got to do here is keep their mouths shut and rebuild the damn organization and they can't even do that...

So similar stuff has happened throughout history with the coming of more advanced technology. There use to be entire rooms of secretaries in order to do clerical work that has been replaced by Microsoft Office Suite. Their replacement by technology did not cause a total collapse of society so I don't see why this would?

It might make the world worse and drive down the standard of living for many but a total upheaval? If humans made it through the industrial age we'll likely make it through the second technology age too. We won't be unscathed but mankind survived the invention of the computer which was probably equally (or maybe more) disruptive.

It's only in the past few years that "two or more" races became an option on most demographic forms. Even into the early 2000s most demographic forms only let you pick one category so you had to make a choice. The 2024 number may more accurately account for mixed race people but there is no way that 80s number does at all.

Source: was a confused mixed child asking adults which I should pick on official forms and just got shoulder shrugs and hand waving from them.
