Yeah but you’re arguing that to someone who already said they did buy. You can make that point but you’re directing at the person you’re responding to, who has already said they own a house. You are going to strain your shoulder.

Interest rates in the states are higher than they were five years ago, which means borrowing money to pay those inflated salaries is more expensive.

Apparently they didn’t. Top executives are both pissed at Bob Iger and scrambling to figure out how to right the ship.

Blanche is a man, the person who said “they were shouting” is a woman, this was a dialogue, not a monologue.

Yeah, they should probably make that defined in a law.

I started getting this after I got diagnosed with diabetes, because I started eating way less junk food, so my salt intake went down. My blood pressure is usually on the low end now. It’s annoying, and I’ve talked to my doctor about it but she mostly said to drink more water.

You can do timed mutes of keywords, though the times aren’t as customizable as some people might like.

We’re on Metric time already, the base unit of measure for time in the Metric system is the second. This is decimal time.

It’s more likely that Connecticut comes alphabetically after Colorado in the list of state names and the number of data sets it used for training that were lists of states were probably abover the average, so the model has a higher statistical weight for putting connecticut after colorado if someone asks about a list of states

It’s funny seeing the list and knowing connecticut is only there because it’s alphabetically after colorado (in fact all four listed appear in that order alphabetically) because they probably scraped so many lists of states that the alphabetical order is the statistically most probable response in their corpus when any state name is listed.

You could always hire a lawyer of your own and sue the company directly. That’s what someone did to have it become a class action lawsuit. The person who brought the original suit gets a big payout, and the people who did not generally get a much smaller piece of the pie.

Every 100 years but not every 400 years! Isn’t it fun?

Small correction, it’s every fourth year except every hundreth year except every 400th year. I’m assuming the misconception comes from the last time it was a 100th also being a 1000th (2000) but the next time a leap year will end in 00 is 2400

I don’t blame those who didn’t vote for Kamala for her stance on Israel, I get it. I’m just tired of people who didn’t vote specifically against Trump then act really surprised that the Democrats are putting up an anemic defense of our rights, because in theory they should have expected it, given how they voted. Asking why Democrats aren’t stopping fascism when you ostensibly did not support them because you felt they would not do enough to stop fascism should be readily apparent.

I am not using “you” here as in you, piefood, just as a general you

I mean, “neatly lost” here is a disingenuous phrase for “won”. The 2020 election wasn’t even particularly close either, in terms of the Electoral College, which is unfortunately the only part that really.

I agree with you otherwise, so sorry for the pedantry. Dems should have definitely learned from the midterms, and they should have learned Biden was too old for a second term even before he announced he’d run again.

I’d say I hope they learn from 2024 but I doubt it.

“Literal” has been used metaphorically for emphasis by better writers than you, centuries before you were born. Shut up.

I got laid off about five and a half years ago, at the start of Covid. The meeting was with my manager and his boss (who I was also friendly with). I got a meeting invite and asked if we could push it back an hour so I could drive my wife to work, they said sure. I told my wife on the drive that I was getting laid off. Sure enough, I was. They paid me five weeks severance and gave me resources to file for unemployment. It was due to Covid causing a huge drop in money coming in, which was understandable. Honestly, I didn’t like my job, I had already hired a company to rewrite my resumé. So it worked out. At least my boss and his boss had the spine to do it personally. I’ll always give them credit for that.

I mean, Montana has lakes and lakes have beaches…

There is a difference between talking about sex and gender and something being sexual. If a shopkeeper mentions his husband, I can extrapolate that he’s at least bi, but that doesn’t mean the game is sexual.
