Are you suggesting that they jump off the bridge?

I haven’t seen any obvious astroturfing yet, but your last paragraph really did have the vibe of a smoothly transitioned paid promotion. Not saying it was, but even the comments that you haven’t fully bought into it made it feel even more like one of the more honest paid promotions.

The enshitification continues.

“Then they came for the influencers, and I said nothing…”

lol, yet another dipshit lawyer caught using ChatGPT because he’s either too lazy or stupid to double check the results.

It’s do sad that “conservatives hiding any facts that effect the believability of their racist narrative” is what they actually mean by “politically neutral.”

That pink nose is the cutest.

It seems the guy I was replying to hasn’t.

You’re right that they aren’t paid enough to care, but despite that, there are always power hungry dipshits who entirely misinterpret the rules and take enforcement way too far.

That thumbnail icon made me go back and check chrome’s incognito to make sure it isn’t actually Walter White (real one doesn’t even have facial hair).

I’d hope they’d at least be in stalls so that I can only see the feet of the dudes getting sucked off on either side of me.

This. Like ten years ago, when Samsungs had swappable batteries, they were super proud of it. They would advertise it as a feature that Apple doesn’t have.

When I was at a festival, Samsung had an activation where you could tweet at them with your phone model and location and they would send someone with a full battery to trade you for yours. It was an amazing free service that I used so many times, and every time, the jealousy on the faces of all the iPhone people was palpable. Then one year, they quietly removed the swappability from their new phones.

Swappable batteries are such a huge feature that most people don’t even know that they want.

Spoiler alert: they spill the glass everywhere.

*Some of Wikipedia’s editors.

If it were all of them, then the main wiki entry for acronym would not be allowed to stay the way it is. The main article I linked even speaks to the fact that some users of “initialism” think that it is separate from acronyms, so there is definitely still some significant debate. And to add to it, I looked up the words in the three most popular dictionaries:

• Oxford dictionary lists both initialisms and pronounceable abbreviations as two separate definitions of acronym, so according to them, all initialisms are a form of acronym, matching my inclusivity.
• Cambridge dictionary has acronym and initialism listed as unconnected entities with separate definitions that do not mention one another, so there is no confirmation of inclusivity either way there.
• Merriam-Webster dictionary defines initialism as any first letter abbreviation, acknowledges the debate, and claims that initialism is the older word, but it also says that pronounceable initialisms are commonly referred to as acronyms, so their definition more lines up better to your inclusivity rather than mine.

So it seems like possibly one or both of us is right or neither of us is. Isn’t the ambiguity of the English language fun?

Slow clap

If I walk around, then human see me. This way more sneaky, what could go wrong?

You’d probably be surprised to learn how little some famous people make.

Elon has nothing to do with meta banning him though.

The ole “You can’t quit, you’re fired!” trick. Works every time.
