I mean, she’s currently the vice president and supposedly the president and her have the same agenda. So, why don’t they just legalize it right now?

Because the power of the president is not absolute.

IIRC, Biden did this already happened. But most people in prison for weed are imprisoned under state law, not Federal, so he can’t do anything about them.

Every team makes mistakes. They definitely deserve the Constructors’ title.

But yeah, as a team I don’t think they’ve done enough to earn the Drivers’ title.

I almost preferred being a McLaren fan when they weren’t winning races. Too much disappointment when they have the potential to win titles.

There’s an episode of 30 Rock where Tina Fey’s character has to decide between chasing a man about to get on a flight and leaving a dish of dipping sauce for her sandwich, or eating said sandwich.

I would be inclined to agree with, “a hotdog on a bun is a sandwich.”

They can? My PS5 has been on the included vertical stand the entire time I’ve owned it, what risk am I ignoring?

I remember with the Xbox 360 the only issue was if you switched from vertical to horizontal or vice versa while the disc was being read.

Do you have a term like “hotdog” for a sausage of questionable origin in a bun? Or is it, like, sausageofquestionableorigininabun like other German compound words? 😁

A hotdog is not a sandwich.

If you serve bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a plate, you do not call that a sandwich.

But if you serve a hotdog without a bun, you still call it a hotdog.

QED.

I don’t know if there is a version of Poe’s law for Apple fanboys, but your comment makes me think there should be.

Roflmao

I don’t own a Mac Mini, and never will. I’m not trying to defend Apple.

But I’ll use my work laptop as an example. I have external monitors, so I never open the damn thing except on the rare occasions I need to use the power button. This happens infrequently enough that it gives me a pretty good notion of how often people need the actual power button on a modern computer.

If the button can be reached without turning over the device or even picking it up, as it sure appears, what’s the problem? Other than that it’s an Apple device and people love to hate on Apple devices.

How often do you need to actually turn it on? Won’t it sleep? Pretty much should only need to turn it on after moving the thing. You can restart from with in the OS if you need to.

Twitter did it before Reddit, IIRC. It was part of the conversation around API fees for Reddit.

As shameful as it may be, I’m reducing my stress by reminding myself that I, personally, will be fine regardless.

But I fear for many friends, loved ones, and strangers who may not fare as well.

Great race! Verstappen finally penalized! And Mexico City finally gets a Spanish-speaking winner!

”iPad adults” are especially stupid.

Does this mean a specific type of adult, or adults who use iPads? Cause…I consider myself pretty technically gifted, I’m a software developer, previously worked IT…and I love my iPad (for the things it’s good for).

Maybe if homework can be done by statistics, then it’s not worth doing.

Lots of homework can be done by computers in many ways. That’s not the point. Teachers don’t have students write papers to edify the teacher or to bring new insights into the world, they do it to teach students how to research, combine concepts, organize their thoughts, weed out misinformation, and generate new ideas from other concepts.

These are lessons worth learning regardless of whether ChatGPT can write a paper.

It is but no educated person qualifies themselves by that name as it means nothing.

People seek to label themselves in the most accurate category not the broadest one.

I’m not sure that’s true. If you ask someone what they do for a living and they say, “I’m a doctor,” you don’t say, “I doubt it. A real doctor would say, ‘I’m a cardiovascular surgeon,’ or ‘I’m a pediatrician.’” We adjust our labels for our audience.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find a biologist or a climatologist who might just say, “I’m a scientist” to a broad audience. Not that they couldn’t use the more accurate label, just that they don’t necessarily have to.

Scientist is the broader category though. If a square says “I’m a rectangle” they aren’t lying.

The way I handle this is to parse them differently. They mean the same thing, but “I couldn’t care less” is sincere and “I could care less” is sarcastic.

Sort of like, “I suppose it’s possible that I could care less about that” reduced to the phrase.

Because both phrases obviously communicate the same meaning, a lack of care, the issue for me isn’t in the understanding but in the parsing. So I had to come up with a way to parse it as sarcasm so it doesn’t bother me.

Like when someone says, “I’ll try and be there” my brain, mildly traumatized by really good English teachers in my youth, screams, “YOU’LL TRY TO BE THERE.” But lately I’ve been making an effort to interpret the “and <verb>” following “try” as an alternate form of the infinitive, since it’s so readily accepted and common in spoken English. We already construct other verbs that way anyway (eg. “I’ll go and do that”).

I…might have a touch of the ‘tism. It wouldn’t surprise me. 😅

lol I feel like I’m living in a different planet.

😂 Are you just now learning that people experience different things in life?

I don’t use a shoehorn, and I’ve finally embraced the Skechers Slip-Ins lifestyle and loving it, but shoehorns would definitely have made my life easier in some respects.
