Yeah we're far from perfect, but for better or worse we would be the smallest culture shock (it would kinda feel like moving to a new state).

"Must be at least this tall to ride"

Small correction: Bounce rate going UP is what you're trying to achieve

Oh, okay fair enough. I meant in this comment section in particular.

I don't see any comments from progressives arguing that this is a good thing or that Democrats shouldn't have effective fundraising.

The logic being that there is ~$0.82 USD per KG of fuel cost that has to be accounted for

You only talk like that when you know you're being overheard (and maybe plan to leak it too)

I'm learning a new language right now and I find myself reflecting more and more about the strengths and weaknesses of English.

English is really good at a lot of things including humour and poetry. But it transforms overtime depending on region, culture, demographics, economics, marketing, and politics... which makes miscommunication happen ALL THE TIME.

I say this because you're both right, and it's frustrating because it limits our ability to have a meaningful conversation.

I hope it popularizes the idea of algorithmic control.

They are! https://imdb.com/news/ni64745287/

Canada (Ontario) here. Was taught explicitly to say "point three two"

Any chance he got all the data and access that he actually wanted, so now he's good?

I want mixed-member plurality (MMP)

Cornstarch!

Me too. Invested in my setup last year :(

I'm still glad they wrote the piece.

Thank you! Been looking for it and glad to hear it's in the works.

I think it could be more tactical than simply not using the correct word. Trump has been a grifter his whole life; selling people things and not delivering on them...entering into contracts and not honoring his side of the agreement.

Being a grifter is a pervasive and consistent theme in his life, so when he accuses others of grifting, it indirectly softens those same accusations when levied at him.

"Grift" not grit. Trump is bad-faith arguing that these public broadcasters offer no value and are just stealing from the public.

In reality this administration just doesn't like them because journalism and facts fly in the face of their misinformation, disinformation, and political propaganda/spin.

Every time we come up with a technical term to describe people with medical impairments to their intelligence, people begin using it as an insult.

I guess here's hoping "intellectually disabled" doesn't catch on (hopefully too wordy).
