No... those are two different things with two different meanings...

Interesting! Do you have a citation? That photo could have been taken anywhere, there’s nothing identifying in it.

This is what I mean: if I don’t speak your language, you refuse to understand me. This is an actual problem with policing speech- you’ve mistaken me for a Trump supporter. And you put on your Trump-hating glasses and couldn’t see any further. I bet the anger felt good, when you were writing. You thought you’d found a…

Fact check:

I just wanted to add some perspective. I think this phrase runs right through some politispeech.

I mean, this just plays into the same right-wing “false flag” conspiracy theories that belong on 4Chan. No need to go there and invent what could turn out to be not true.

I live near Malibu. The worst I’ve seen most frequently is somebody driving a very expensive car (read: Bentley, Maserati, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, you get the idea) down the center double-yellow’ed “turning lane” of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) while traffic is at a standstill. It’s basically thumbing their…

Ah so more succinctly: DoorDash’s setup means what they call “tips” aren’t actually what the rest of us call “tips,” yes? A tip would be on top of the wage, but there is no tip or wage in their system. So all of our conventional ideas about how much to tip (what’s a fair percentage) and how much their wage should be…

I’ve seen this a few times and (in a testament to the convolution going on here) I’m still confused as to what, exactly, is the problem.

“But had this dropped magnet been filmed with one of those fancy bullet-time camera rigs that made The Matrix’s fight scenes so compelling, we would clearly see those curved magnetic lines wrapping all the way around the magnet as it bounced.”

I understand your reaction. I understand, in this tribal atmosphere, a response like this feels inevitable, feels like righteous indignation. I am just disappointed that, unlike Michelle Obama, this piece goes low instead of high.

Climate change. We really have to go over this again?

And is Mueller actually black? In the video, Mueller looks like Dwayne Johnson if The Rock started reading more and working out less. What righteous black man refers to himself as a “man of color,” even if his color could only be replicated by buying a 64-pack box of Crayola crayons, melting down a raw sienna and…

As many have pointed out, government not being involved in the news business is extremely important to prevent corruption in that process. You can call it propaganda, freedom of the press, whatever, it doesn’t matter, it’s just a bad idea.

“The Keystone Pipeline (not the XL) experienced a drop in pressure Thursday that caused the oil leak”

It’s more like saying “the closest city is Vancouver” when you’re in Portland. Which is either not true, or a sick burn on Seattle.

I prefer Obviosman. 😈

Ah but you had to know this was coming: The closest star to us is the sun, so yes, we’ve known for awhile now that it has an elaborate planetary system around it.

“News outlets like the Wall Street Journal have no issue with things like the Muslim ban.”

Oooo... That’s definitely not correct. Wyzant is a really bad reference.
