EOs are not laws and can only direct the federal government's actions. The President has no authority to unilaterally control a company, except for scenarios where it is interacting with the federal government. Just like the "two genders" EO, it only applies to the federal government. States and companies can continue to support non-binary and other options for sex and gender identity.

Exactly. Don't judge a person by the blood writing on the walls!

Need some preem braindances, choom.

I assume CBS is doing back story spotlights on each of the 90 hostages Israel is supposed to release?

Yes, to the tune of 10s or maybe a couple 100s of millions of dollars. But now Saudi Arabia can come in and buy a billion worth of the coin as a direct donation to trump with zero oversight. This is open corruption on a scale we simply haven't seen before.

This joke comes with more documentation than most packages.

What about the central american Trans American Inter National Territories? You'll find it just above the B.A.L.L.S.

Having attraction preferences doesn't mean you're lustful.

I set up LastPass for my parents but they refuse to use it. My mom got locked out of her Facebook account and can't regain access because she doesn't know the password, doesn't know the email it was registered with, and her phone died so she can't prove any prior access. Too bad so sad. Still won't use LastPass.

Deleting body cam footage should result in an automatic guilty plea to anything the victim is accusing. The only reason to destroy evidence is because your crime is worse than being punished for its destruction.

And yet my android phone is able to detect what song is playing 24x7 without being a noticeable drain on the battery or using extra data. Doesn't seem far fetched to be able to do keyword spotting under the same constraints.

Here's one example of a company getting caught: https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/us/next-time-you-talk-on-your-phone-be-careful-facebook-and-google-are-listening-to-your-conversations/articleshow/113071827.cms

He has a video from a while back where he gets into how he does A/B testing with titles and thumbnails. TL;DR click bait titles and thumbnails work.

West Coast is best coast! People are generally a lot more chill than east coast. If you're of a particular age, just consider Tupac vs. Biggie. Their personalities sum it up nicely.

Work-wise, business in the US will already be underway when you get to work, and starts dying down after your lunch. If you interact with people on the east coast, mornings are busier and afternoons are much quieter.

West Coast is generally more racially/ethnically diverse, depending on where you're comparing. It's also a lot more liberally aligned. Conservativism hits differently too. There's less evangelical "Jesus is my personality" types and more "get off my property and leave me alone" conservatives. It's how legal weed was passed in CO first; conservatives joined in on the yes vote because what you do in your own home isn't the government's business.

The weather is generally better, IMO. It's drier and sunnier year-round, except for the PNW region. That means less vegetation though. The dense deciduous forests of the south/east have their own appeal, and you just won't get that out west. The land is a lot more open and sparse.

Just click the link, it's the first thing on the page. Yes, the cop body slammed him face first into the asphalt for absolutely no reason.

Right, you gave up. Implying that you did hold the opinion that there should be a special word for anti-jewish, and likely still do hold that position, but the meaning of the word has changed from your desired definition. I'm asking why you did, and maybe still do, believe anti-jewish should have its own unique word in the first place.

ETA: I'm asking legitimately. I've never understood why anti-jewish hate is so much more special than anti-muslim, anti-black, or any other sort of bigotry. I understand the persecution of Jews throughout history, but I also understand the persecution of Muslims, black people, etc. throughout history.

Why do you require your own special word that's exclusive to one particular religion? Why not just use bigot like every other situation?

That sounds plausible. My understanding of one of the key differences between autists and allists is that the autistic brain processes info from the ground up, which is to say that all the details are collected and the interpretation of the data is done by considering the sum of those details. A non-neurodivergent brain pre-summarizes and you get the gist of the data without seeing all the details. This is what makes autistic folks so good at processing large amounts of detail, and so bad/slow at interpretation of social situations.

From what I've read, understanding of ADHD is trending towards being seen as similar to autism as it largely boils down to very similar information processing differences.

The fed has nothing to do with that. He's being charged by the state of NY. TIL they added on a few federal charges.
