In the hypothetical provided, where someone intentionally misrepresents themselves in order to qualify for a service from a business that they otherwise would not have? For the express purpose of easier access to victims?

Not a lawyer but I'd certainly think so.

I mean, sure, any system can be abused, but it's a lot easier to prove intent when you now have to commit fraud to get in the situation to begin with.

Damn, I'm glad we have you around to unilaterally decide that (and who knew that problems could only ever have one cause?)

Trying to read assembly is the closest I've ever gotten to actual black magic

Absolutely, try to get the user that already demonstrated an uncertainty with how their body works, to trust the bullshit engine that can't understand when it is mashing counterfactual things together in the output. Definitely a chill solution with zero negligence or potential to harm.

I understand the desire to be helpful, but if you don't actually know anything about a topic, don't contribute.

You exaggerate, but there are some limits to how much energy the body can use in a day.

You're right, I'm a member of the general public who has never heard the term before.
So I have

• the general understanding that a "board" is usually a group of individuals with some sort of authority.
• An unknown adjectival noun "vision". And
• the present tense verb "outlaws"

The headline could have replaced "vision board" with the word "proposals" used in the first sentence of the article and been more clear. But I feel like the choice may have been a deliberate one to drive clicks. (outlaws - propose it should be outlawed)

If it's supposed to be this sort of hokey motivational poster, is this really a common term now? Maybe I am too old.

Edit: Very interesting. This term has a definite trend in January (New Year's resolutions?) but the trend only seems to have kicked off around 2011. https://i.imgur.com/SQDyfSS.png

Old confirmed! There are dozens of us!

'"vision board" outlaws' is pretty unambiguously saying the board is doing the outlawing.
They didn't say "wants to outlaw" or "would outlaw"

Title suck, it's not happening right now but rather what Republicans are gearing up for.

The far-right wish list is part of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, laying out policy positions for the next Republican president, and led by a cadre of former Trump administration officials.

The guts it must take to fight against this bullshit in real time... mad respect.

This dates me somewhat, but trials maps in UT2004 helped me develop a lot of precision and fast fingers.

It was a multiplayer FPS, but it had cool mobility like double-tap dodges, double jumps, wallkicks, and crouch jumps. And they could be combined in many ways, so there were platforming levels of varying levels of difficulty. Diagonal dodge-doublejump with a wallkick at the very end to get onto a platform that's like 4 inches square, type of thing.

fuck yeah, pepsi and kraft singles

Random person here with ...complicated feelings about Elite

Elite: Dangerous is a pretty dang good spaceship flight simulator, and it's an incredible experience even just for the exploration and sound design, but I do want to gently warn you that most of the meat and bones of the combat and engineering isn't well-balanced or is grindy.

that said some of the most serene and otherworldly experiences of my life were when I stayed up late, space mining or sightseeing in VR and with a HOTAS. And there is a racing community of people who gear out really fast and nimble ships and do canyon runs and stunt flights. But again, pretty high barrier of entry to doing that cool stuff, because you have to progress engineering which is grindy, and that's on top of the game's controls being detailed enough that it might take you a week to get your space legs.

If literacy standards have sunk so low that that's elitism, these are troubling times indeed.

It's eight syllables, but I think most minds would chunk it out as three or four units of short term memory ("papa", "kanga", "horo" or even "horohoro") which isn't too unreasonable to me compared to some more ...western sounding? place names.

(Though I am not the person you were responding to nor do I have experience with Maori. Just sharing my take)
