Oh, absolutely. I was just surprised they said anything at all about it.

OPM finally acknowledged it's possible they might not get the funding to do this from Congress and then tried to compare it to getting furloughed. The mental gymnastics were Olympic level.

Every single election, the League of Women Voters puts out responses to their surveys about candidates' relevant viewpoints and platform. Every single election I have to remind people it even exists. It's the easiest way to filter out candidates. Do their viewpoints align with mine? Did they even bother to respond to the survey?

Takes like 5-10 minutes easily. There's simply no excuse.

I just can't imagine why people think it's a Nazi salute...oh wait,

Judy Woodruff was forced to publicly apologize because Trump and Bibi said they didn't talk about delaying it, but I still think she was right:

I mean, I'd trust unnamed sources over these two guys any day.

I don't know about culture glorifying it or it being a huge percentage of people, but it's a real problem. Just one example: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/10132391/Riot-after-Chinese-teachers-try-to-stop-pupils-cheating.html

The list missed the disappointment that was Age of Empires Online. Because who doesn't love microtransactions and live service in their RTS? Apparently it's still playable on a fan server.

Yep!

This is pretty cool. I just saw an article about a D&D-themed pinball machine that's being made and immediately my mind jumped to wondering just how difficult it is to maintain these things. It'd be fun to own one but I have no idea how many other businesses are out there like this one.

It's definitely dumb, but it has been around for a very very long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_sexual_practices

Bonus gross points for the Age of Partners section.

I think he'd probably prefer the phrase "Amerika über alles" instead, based on his reading preferences.

I wish this AI generated image would go megaviral

I'm still convinced the turning point was when Microsoft deprecated Skype for Business and merged the devs from that team with the ones working on Teams. My tinfoil hat theory is they brought their garbage Lync code with them and pulled seniority to somehow jam it into the new codebase.

Felony aggravated assault, apparently.

Is he? He was pretty hyped about how well Ukraine did in the early days of the conflict, actively tweeting about all the insane stuff that was going on. I think he was criticized for maybe speaking a little too openly about stuff that wasn't exactly public knowledge, but he didn't seem like a Russian asset from that perspective.

I would have just pegged him as another war hawk that probably uses an alt account on NCD. Maybe I missed something.

Is there a football culture that isn't? I just usually hear about bananas being thrown at black players and chants that they go home or other stuff like that.

If there's a football culture out there that doesn't regularly descend into horrible hooliganism, I'd like to know which one it is so I can pretend to know about them when people ask me if I like the sport.

Those mass deportations are going to take a lot of money and time.

They'll probably end up turning their massive holding facilities into work camps, maybe hang signs up with catchy slogans like "Trabajo te hace libre" or "El trabajo libera" and forbid any unfriendly reporters from seeing how the sausage is made.

This makes me wonder if people keep saying they were more prosperous under Trump because he "signed" the goddamn stimulus checks with his huge sharpie signature. It's something I thought surely people wouldn't be that stupid to fall for, but maybe I was wrong.

This got me curious whether the milk would be any different and, if I'm reading this study correctly, there's practically no difference in content
