Here’s a little protip: When any journalistic establishment pens an open request for information, they’re not looking for proof; they’re looking for validation.

Yes. Xe is.

Wow, just because you dig Katie, doesn’t mean you ought to rip off her style.

This isn’t the vaccine debate, there’s no herd immunity argument here to keep people in line, this is simply me, as a consumer, making a conscious decision on what I put into my body, and wanting to have labeling that helps me make those decisions.

Something the military learned a long time ago was that you don’t have to see eye-to-eye with a person, in order to trust them, and you have to have trust to accomplish a goal. That’s why all of basic is about conditioning you to see nothing but the goal, regardless of your peers’ faults. They meld you into a cog,…

For what it’s worth: Fuck these people.

I care very much about “punctuation inside quotes” because, for the most part, it doesn’t make any sense.
Once I found out that it was a rule developed so that typesetters would stop breaking their punctuation keys, I have joined in with the lot that disregards the nonsensical usages of punctuation inside of quotes.

Doggy Doggy what now?!

I commend the dude, wholeheartedly on his attempt, but he should be fucking ashamed of himself for not following through.

Sure sure. I tell you what, you take a look at the volume of data, and the resources that would be required to do what you propose, write up a cost analysis draft, and publish it. Then we can go over how impossible it is to do what you’re claiming to do.

As soon as I got the aviator jacket, I rocked it and the cowboy hat for most* of the game. Gave Mario a real “Indiana Jones” vibe, that I felt was appropriate.

Well, no accounting for tired, but that still doesn’t make much sense. A low bar that is nonsensical is not one to overcome, right?

It...doesn’t seem like...did you mean to reply to me? This doesn’t seem directed towards me, at least in part.

Need to see the BTS on this. Those aerial shots were awesome, and while they’re pretty trivial drone shots, that’s both an expensive and time-consuming thing to get right.

I think the only relevance here is whether you think altruism has any weight in ethics.

This is, frankly, insane. Sniffing out misinformation is one of the hardest cognitive processes for HUMANS to do; humans, who are pattern recognition and relational asset machines.
Why in the world would you think this is a low bar for computers to handle? They’re just boolean operators, man.

and I’m not at all above saying that some of the liberal bent is a little ridiculous

However, if I drop the “ingratiating” schtick, all you’re likely to be left with is an unrepetantly navel-gazing blowhard—who’s quite capable of being something of an asshole when the mood strikes. I try to temper my egotism with a bit of kindness, though it doesn’t always work.

Yeah, but the outliers from that “nearly all” you cite are the writing classes that teach you TECHNICAL writing.
Now, I wonder what kind of writing a consortium whose goal is to set standards needs...?

I don’t want to go to parties where obscure and useful words are treated with disdain. I love learning new words and phrases and, in my circle, we all have a good cheer when someone whips out a nice locution or colloquialism. I still can’t get Bernie’s judicious use of “demagoguery” out of my head, in spite of how…
