And without even trying to provide another explanation. Usually there is at least a “I misspoke, what I really meant to say was X”. This time, he is literally just saying what he said isn’t what he meant with no other alternative meaning attached. It’s hard to believe that isn’t what you meant when you can’t even come…

“The defense plans to prove that it was just an unfortunate accident that Potter mistook her gun for a taser.”

I never really got the allure of a smart thermostat. As long as it is it programable, they should really cover everything, shouldn’t it? With a smart one, you need to constantly be changing the thermostat for it to learn, but I find once I program mine I almost never make manual changes. 

“ you can upgrade them by adding new features like a , an , or a motion sensor.” - Me thinks somethings are missing here.

It did not. This is just pure hours watched. If you look at viewers per hour I believe Poki would still be the top woman on twitch. Amouranth streams like 10 hours a day on average which is how sure makes these numbers. She still usually has viewers in the thousands, but her average is lower than Pokis.

As a white man, I can say this is 100% accurate. I may realize how incredibly fucked up it is that the police are never going to look at me the same way they would someone of color, but that doesn’t change the fact that they will treat me better. Unfortunately, empathy is in short supply, so many people simply don’t…

It wouldn’t have just been a name change. It was basically disbanding the police department and building the public safety department in it’s place. Sure, it could end up exactly the same, but based on the proposal that would have been unlikely. The entire structure would have been changed and refocused.

So you read that and didn’t see the big glaring issue with it that shows they are against trans people? Look again. You notice there is no mention of trans people, only “males”. They are explicitly denying that trans women are women. They are saying that trans women do not exist, they are just “males”. If that is not…

It’s because the dialects are different enough between Latin America/Spain and Brazil/Portugal that they need two different versions. Sure, it is basically the same language, but think of the differences between American and British English. Sure, most of it translates well, but there are enough difference that 2…

The video in question showed a student with an airsoft gun saying he carries it to “Kill N-words.” Pero, who involved the Monroe County Sheriff Office, was alerted about the video on Friday. According to Rochester First, officials from the office announced on Sunday that the video is months old and there is no…

“The advent of slavery in America could not be taught as representing the true founding of the United States, but rather a “deviation” from American principles, according to the bill.”

So something that existed before the United States and was written into the constitution is somehow not a true “founding principal” but…

I would say passing a law that outlaws mentioning systemic racism in schools is about the best example of systemic racism I can think of.

If it is an educated guess, it isn’t a crapshoot. Yes, the flu shot is a prediction of what strains will be most popular every year and they may not be right. But even for other strains the flu shot still lessens the severity of the flu if someone gets another strain. Just because something is not guaranteed doesn’t…

The ones used in the US are mRNA vaccines. Other ones, specifically the Sinovac vaccine developed in China and used in varying places, are standard vaccines. The sinocav vaccines uses dead COVID virus in it, not mRNA.

Except once you allow them to kick someone off the team for speech away from school/activities, you open it up for nay speech. Do I want racist cheerleaders? Of course not. But if we allow them to kick someone off the team for racial slurs used away from school/cheerleading the door is open. As long as they can not be…

The bowl of ice idea won’t work. Sure, it will cool the air coming from the fan, but it takes more heat to make that ice, so the fridge will just run more and put more heat out than you are taking away.

I can uninstall it from my Pixel, so I think that is a manufacturer issue not a Google issue.

But timing makes a difference. I am willing to bet everyone has done something in the past that they regret. Did I say stupid and racist things when I was a teenager? Absolutely. Did I do it in my 20s? I’m sure I did. Does that mean I would do it now? Not a chance in hell. People do grow and change. If someone says…

Welcome to strawman arguing 101. Nowhere did she even imply people should be banned from twerking. She is very clear in saying the exact opposite “Of course, just because something is tied to a specific culture doesn’t mean you can’t do or enjoy it, but how you approach it shows your level of respect for the art form.”

Except science disagrees. If a trans woman is on hormone treatment it has been shown that the physical advantages disappear after a period of time. I’m not going to pretend to be an expert and say how long or anything like that, but the idea that a person will always have an advantage because they grew up as a male…
