Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

$|>>> Onlyfans! <<<|$

  • Reversible by the parent, I admit that was pretty unclear. Cartlidge damage like that will eventually close in many cases, but it can take years if it's been left long enough. However the good news is that the surgery to correct it is incredibly minimal, so if you're ever looking for that...!

  • I still see that pretty frequently, but I think part of the reduction in frequency is that the community of transcribers has dwindled.

  • I mean... Zero?

    But fuck that would be pretty sweet.

  • Yeah, no idea why Active is still the default.

  • Maybe take a deep breath here:

    First, I've never claimed the federal government and the state governments aren't distinct groups, hence the quote from wikipedia that expressly outlines that concept. So I'm just going to ignore everything you said in support of that, since... I agree.

    Second, and please correct me if I'm wrong, it seems like you're honestly trying to make a case that state governments are not a part of the US government, based on a semantic argument that the specific term "the US government" refers exclusively to the US federal government. That seems... like you're going to need a whole lot more to support that position if that's the case. Again, I've never argued that they are a part of the federal government, just that they are a part of the governmental system of the united states and thereby the government of the US.

    If this is indeed just about the specific language used instead of, say, the concepts in a discussion about people being unfamiliar with a topic thus getting the specifics wrong, then I do not care even slightly enough to keep arguing about this.

  • To quote wikipedia:

    In the United States, state governments are institutional units exercising functions of government within the country’s federal system, alongside the federal government.

    The idea that state governments, or county governments, aren't aspects of the US government is pretty absurd. They aren't part of the federal system, sure, but they are part of the government of the united states.

    also gonna need a real big citation for this claim:

    The US government refers specifically to the federal government.

    People might sometimes use it to mean that, but the words themselves refer to the government of the united states, of which state governments are a big part.

    ... Honestly, are you american? Because one or the other of us has an excellent point about national identities and their role in understanding the US government, and I'm leaning towards your interpretation right now.

  • Eeh, people from europe fail to understand the distinction between state and federal government in the US all the time - because why should they know, despite the nuance both systems at their heart are aspects of the US government. Broadly the same deal as the distinction between council and central government in the UK (assuming the express isn't making stuff up again)

  • An ear piercing is fully reversible, though. Still shouldn't be done to an infant, but it's very much not two equivalent actions.

  • Yeah, even in my so-shitty-sometimes-cows-wandered-in highschool we learned about this (and a whole lot more about Russian-american cooperation post space race.)

  • I honestly cannot tell if this is satire, but if it is A+ job

  • I really fail to see how that's relevant to the source being a satire news site.

  • Shame it's on apple, but neat! Thanks for telling me.

  • I'm sorry, I don't know what you're referencing :(

  • Both the US and Russia have spent my entire life cooperating on the most ambitious space endeavor the planet has (the ISS), why are we trying to create some kind of ideological wedge between the two countries on the one issue we seem to agree on? Don't we have enough of those?

  • I hate to point this out, but it's 2026.

    Everything else is great though.

  • First: You are not immune to propaganda.

    Second: I never said this was propaganda. I even went so far as to clarify that this wasn't propaganda. This is just blatant and unabashed satirical misinformation.

    Third: My whole point is that if otherwise reasonable people like you fall for this, which could not possibly be easier to verify is from a literal fake news outlet (I timed it, it took me 5 seconds), I seriously doubt they will be more robust in the face of actual propaganda.

    Fourth: My words are fine, why are you pivoting to insulting me to try and draw this out?

  • She's pretty pro-trump, but to my eye the distinction between if she's courting trump because she just wants the influence he'll bring or if she genuinely believes in his insanity it seems like the same result to me - she's willing to treat with a murdering pedophile wannabe tyrant for power, that's pretty damning on it's own.

  • Nah totally, I read it as a similar sentiment to "What's the point in doing anything". If that was off the mark I apologize. I just meant that we all cope in our own ways, even if some of them are somewhat windmill-tilting-y

  • Actual propaganda frequently is true, this is misleading in that it is not actually reporting news, just guessing something is true doesn't make it true, I didn't recognize the poster I went and looked it up trying to find a source and discovered it was posted by a very open satire site, and this seems like a really stupid thing for you to be trying to start a fight over.
