Reply to comment by Takina_sOldPairTM in Billboards advise on how to get abortion pills in US states where procedure is banned | Abortion by BigClitMcphee
I’m genuinely scared when I see this perspective about ‘outside actors’ being responsible for the GOP’s penchant for fascism. It’s a way to rationalize (self-delude) that there isn’t actually a faction of Americans who have these values.
It’s not Russia, it’s not the CCP. The rise of Christofascism is homegrown.

You’ve been duped into believing the bullshit that Republican politics/‘values’ are actually meant to benefit “potential humans.” It would be amusing if it weren’t so tragic.
They don’t want people to have bodily autonomy. Women are the easy target for the GOP because there are already biases against women politically, socially, and culturally.

I think the National Parks is the only one I’d consider a real plus. And maybe the food. I couldn’t care less about sports.

That is a good pick.
I’ve said it in other discussions, but I feel like I’ve seen someone that would be perfect for BG. That was before I saw TG:M. I think Glen Powell would be a really good casting choice. But I still feel like there’s another actor that I’m associating very strongly with my concept of BG.

Doesn’t seem like it. The article mentions:
> The Federal Communications Commission, which polices use of the sound to protect its integrity, now wants to fine the organization $504,000 – just as it did for Hollywood action film Olympus Has Fallen ($1.9 million, 2014) right down to Jimmy Kimmel Live ($395,000, 2019).

Is it an actual foreign accent? Or that person’s idea of a foreign accent?

Yup, I am pretty certain they want the dataset so they can train an AI on records tied to known illegal activities (or just suspected nefarious behavior) and let it loose on the rest of the records.

Reply to comment by opiate_lifer in TIL Korea has soy sauce older than USA by SmashScrapeFlip
I don’t think so. He still has a limited vocabulary, ‘dodges’ a very pointed question (avoids details, gives pretty much a canned response), and uses the idiom “holding in abeyance” improperly.
I would guess that he had it on his word of the day calendar, or it’s a term that he’s heard but doesn’t really know how to apply it.

Reply to comment by InfiniteJestV in TIL Aluminium Christmas trees dropped in popularity after being negatively portrayed in A Charlie Brown Christmas by castironcake
Aluminium follows the naming format of a lot of other post-transition metals.
We have Gallium, Germanium, Cadmium, Indium, etc. not Gallum, Germanum, Cadmum, Indum, etc.
Also, it was a British chemist who is credited as the person who named it. And it was originally proposed as alumium, which was criticized by other chemists from other countries who thought it should be named for the oxide alumina from which the metal would be isolated.
Anyway, it was also that same British chemist who used the spelling aluminum in a chemistry textbook.
