Is it? I mean, 100 years ago you might all be reading different things, with either a record on or possibly the radio. Why is it terrible that now you’re all… reading different things together in one room?

Boris literally just made up stories about the horrors of the EU when he was a journalist in Brussels:

He definitely helped set the stage for Brexit.

Which is why the Supreme Court is hearing the case. Two wealthy industries fighting out who gets to extract the most wealth.

It’s about respect for the reader or listener. Using correct language eases the burden of deciphering what you are trying to say by using consistent forms. Otherwise it take extra effort for them to unscramble your words and figure out your meaning.

And yes, of course someone can figure out that when you say “me and Mike” you almost certainly mean to say “Mike and I”. But you’re making it harder for them by not bothering to learn or use the correct form.

I joined the Democratic party in 2016 just so that I could vote for Bernie in the primaries. Oh well.

I kind of don’t like this. People are not worth more or less. We should be just as outraged at shooting a homeless immigrant on their way to an appointment for a sex date with a Grindr hookup as with your hypothetical father of 3 on the way home from work.

This is true. In Holland we have laws and regulations about this. My wife’s job is enforcing this, although most of the work is designing places to minimize problems (don’t build homes right next to highways, or under flight paths, or next to industry), as well as dealing with cafe owners who let their customers talk in front of the bars smoking at 02:00. 😄

This is the way.

I thought the same thing. In the Netherlands it’s not allowed to have realistic looking toy weapons. I basically think that’s a good thing.

I highly recommend the Alt Right playbook:

Is that a problem? Is there a special reason these should be replaced?

Yeah but your Linux partition is a freak and will do whatever you want. You can even ask it to dress up like Windows or macOS is you want for some reason… it doesn’t care!

That’s a good new-ish law for California! I doubt people in most other states are similarly protected.

I think disqualified.

I was curious too, did a web search, and found this:

I have literally never seen one that’s clear about this.

I shouldn’t feed the troll, but…

Why are vertical videos bad?

This was my first thought. I guess if you’re replacing a coal plant it’s not completely terrible, but be prepared to turn it off in 10 or 20 years.

My dad was a veterinarian for 30 years and always recommended dry cat food. He doesn’t have a cat any more, and I doubt that he has kept up with the latest research, so it’s possible this is outdated.
