Side note: dang, you can do what now? I wonder how people have me labeled...

I really do wonder if the first thought to cross my mind after witnessing the beginning of an irl avengers-level threat will be "wellp at least I don't have to go into work".

Sphygmomanometer

I'm just guessing here, but I imagine it's for "marketing purposes". People sometimes (perhaps often) move around without changing their phone number, so area code alone wouldn't be enough to pinpoint where you live.

Knowing where you live probably helps with micro-targeting ads.

I'd say those aren't my pronouns, but how would you know whether or not to believe me?

Not gonna lie... the headline got me to finally get around to donating.

Vance’s mother was able to buy private insurance through the Affordable Care Act’s insurance marketplace, run by Ohio, after overcoming substance abuse, becoming financially stable, and earning too much to stay on Medicaid.

The warriors of the resistance to the AI-pocalypse will wear red sneakers and wisecrack like it's 1994.

FEMA has a webpage for catalogging and responding to rumors about the hurricane response, though I don't see any as extreme as the ones mentioned in this thread: https://www.fema.gov/disaster/recover/rumor/hurricane-rumor-response

I'm skeptical of how much this will help after seeing how misinformation spread during COVID, but at least they're trying.

Red Bull commercials confused me so much in my younger years. Obviously it can't make you fly, so what does it do?

Even into my adult years, I've found myself avoiding energy drinks, not just because they usually taste awful, but also because they trigger this subconscious feeling that they're trying to scam me.

Ah yes, that thing that sites mention on those annoying popups before making us sign away our privacy anyway.

Just logged in, just found it, just opted out. Thanks for the heads-up OP.

But fucking fuck. Can we put a stop to this? Legally? We could call it sometime like... The National Opt-out Policy Elimination (NOPE) Act or something.

I guess cuz it sounds enough like the much more common saying "as the crow flies".

I have also never heard it used to describe direction, only distance.

That's an oof and a half right there.

I hate to post because I have loved and trusted Wikipedia for years, but the fact that there are folks out there who equally trust what AI tools generate just baffles me.

Dang. It's like he's using an asset to lessen the impact of a legal penalty. If only there were some form of legal penalty that were equally impactful on all people regardless of how well-resourced they were.

Wasn't this man fined a gazillion dollars? How is he still able to say things and have me hear about them?

Get a load of this!! Get a load of this!!
