  • According to Robert Duncan McNeal, Larcarno gave the impression of being a good guy who made a mistake when in reality deep down he was a bad guy, whereas Paris was the other way around.

  • You're so intent on defending your underlying point that you don't seem to realize that your underlying point is not in fact the point here. It's your technique, or lack thereof, in making your point that is being criticized.

  • Thank you for your submission, but we already have an excellent example.

  • They look like they're posing for their album cover.

  • Because it's not intended to be persuasive. The point is to make the speaker feel good, and look good in the eyes of those that already agree. It's fundamentally selfish, self serving, and dishonest.

  • "One cannot reign innocently... Every king is a rebel and a usurper."

  • It was an earlier time!

  • This sort of empty rhetoric is what OP is talking about.

  • The Verge reported that CEO Sundar Pichai defended the layoffs and claimed that workers sometimes reach out to express gratitude for the cuts. “And I just want to clarify that, through these changes, people feel it on the ground and sometimes people write back and say, ‘Thank you for simplifying.’ Sometimes we have a complicated, duplicative structure,” he said, per the Verge.

    Chalmers: People send thank you's for lay offs?

    Pichai: Yes.

    Chalmers: May I see one?

    Pichai: No.

  • McConnell, now nearing his 82nd birthday, is determined to fund the Ukrainian war effort, a push his allies have depicted as legacy-defining.

  • In making the announcement on the Tony Kinnett show, livestreamed on YouTube, Rokita stated that investigators would pore over submissions and post any they believed to be credible onto a publicly viewable database.

  • As if US history began in 1945. /s

    We've been deeper in debt, less literate, less equal, less patriotic, and the political system has been more broken. None of items the article brings up are actually new or unprecedented.

  • This popped up over the weekend on my work PC. It was an emergency and I absolutely needed to get to my desktop ASAP.

    Nope. Full screen advertisement for Windows 11 demanding my immediate and undivided attention. Blocking all other functions, commands, and inputs. I must interact with this ad or else I cannot use my computer.

    Fuck. That.

    I am never installing Windows 11. I am never buying another Microsoft operating system. Specifically because of this sort of heavy-handed dark patterned bullshit. Not to mention the fact that Windows 10 is dog shit.

  • It was never about the border. It was never about Ukraine aid. It's about hurting Americans in hopes that they'll blame Biden.
