Tariffs that don't exclusively impact red states, I guess?

Yeah, and bathroom suggests that there are baths or places for bathing.

Water closet really is the right thing to call it!

Yup. I use whatever feels best, which is usually American words, British spelling (except for the -ze instead of -se for words that end in a "z" sound).

Also, there are our own Canadianisms, like "washroom".

200,000,000 KRW is something like $200,000, to give some context to others.

This isn't using the meme effectively.

"Nobody wants to work anymore for you" would've been closer

"innit" isn't a unit of measurement, but if it were, a 19-week old fetus would probably be a few centinnits long

I think a professional headline would usually just lack the comma there. Headlines typically have weird phrasing (due to their terseness), but they're generally still grammatically sound.

I think "HackerNews owner hacked" would be a headline, rather than "HackerNews owner, hacked".

"Have I Been Pwned owner pwned" seems to be on par with "Headline English" to me

It feels awkward to me. I don't think it's grammatically correct. To me, it doesn't add any clarity, especially when the comma could've been the word "got" or something, lol

Not necessarily. If someone is genuinely socially liberal, they won't like politicians that dehumanize minority groups. They won't necessarily want to pay to protect them, but they'd generally be in favour of laws to protect them, etc.

I am not fiscally conservative, but I've met people like this. Pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion, probably even pro-churches-paying-taxes.

But cutting funding to education to lower taxes? Sure. Anti-public transit (unless they're smart and know that public transit can be more efficient). Anti-international spending. Stuff like that.

But I live in Canada, where we actually do have a "Centre-ish" party that's generally fiscally conservative to an extent, but socially liberal. And our right-wing party isn't quite as big on the dehumanizing aspect. Banning abortion isn't really on the table, and banning gay marriage is generally an unpopular opinion for even the right-wing political leaders.

Why is there a comma in the, title?

Yeah,.there are plenty of instances where I'm adding a new URL for a password because the app and the website are too different from each other, or the app changes its login paths...

Or heck, sometimes it's close enough, and with my password manager on my phone, I don't have it auto fill -- I have it auto-suggest. So "Probably a match" and "Exact match" have the same path to entry.

...did you think there were perfect people in the White House before this? Or at any point in your life? Haha

(Maybe as a child would that make sense...)

Only just today?

Depending on the age, they do it on purpose. Sometimes it's because they are just figuring out social situations -- doing X to person Y results in action Z.

You can find videos of babies pretending to be stuck and crying to get attention. When "unstuck" and not given attention, they stop crying, get themselves fake-stuck again and start crying again. They want the attention and coddling that they got the last time they were legitimately stuck.

I'm sure some babies know they're faking it.

When you have maybe 40 exclusive games after close to 5 years, then of course you want to see what third parties have to offer! Lol

They should have them, and they should be near zero. And we should do something about it

What do you mean by "trolling"? It's not like that's a word that has a consistently agreed-upon definition.

See, with the pandemic, fighting it hurt profits and the status quo.

This is saying it helps profits, and ignoring it will hurt the status quo.

There's hope!

I don't like paying taxes to fund public services, but I don't care what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms

Should I write those cheques to the poor now, sir?
