You can't argue facts with the party of feelings. They claim to be strong but they're so terrified of losing their positions of power (socially, politically, etc.) that they have no choice but to deny the truth. They've turned the truth political. (The recent pathetic (predominantly social media) responses to the 60 minutes opening about his cabinet picks is an excellent example of this.)

Thanks. I think it was you I saw mentioning moving abroad; I hope that goes well for you and your family, too.

I just don't understand people. My partner's brother (also brown, also first gen) is a Trump-loving cop. I'm hoping we don't have to rely on him for anything but I'm also weirdly grateful that he's my partner's brother because you bet your ass I will make it his business if anything happens to my partner; I still have the tiniest hope that brother would go to bat for him.

"Papers, please."

I've told my visibly brown partner that he has to have his passport on him at all times because that's where we are, now. I'm hoping it will be enough.

The most unbelievable part of this is the magat having a crisis after learning (somehow, always for the first time) about Trump's Hitler-worship. Since it hasn't directly affected the magat yet, no way he's going to have the self awareness to freak out.

Man, in some ways, Wil looks exactly the same as he did when he first stepped onto the Enterprise. I want to be one of those people that ages so nicely, dammit.

Apparently there are some heathens who use water instead of milk. I'd say this is more like blood infiltrating your heart.

I've seen some folks say it could be a result of steroid abuse, and I didn't care enough to research whether it was true. If he did abuse steroids, his supremely shrunken raisins could help explain the cybertruck.

And not quite as perky. His chest bump is essentially in the middle of his torso. Makes me think of the 1990s polygonal Lara Croft every time I see it.

If anything, I fully expect this cemented him as the pick. If you have any respect for other people, you're a liability for them.

Doesn't surprise me at all that they're sweeping it under the rug.

The kids' menu is labeled "Penne for your Tots."

So glad that my fellow queer women haven't spilled the secret of our ceremony like these guys did.

Wait, shit. I've already said too much.

The article is okay but I'm struggling with the author's conflation of misanthropy and misandry. Both are mentioned, but only one applies. It could be that the author made a typo, but the tone of the article to me suggests otherwise.

Fixed my own typo.

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 ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
