You could try turning on Do Not Disturb for all numbers, all the time. The calls and texts will technically still happen but you won’t be notified of them. You may be able to avoid voicemails if you never set it up. You’ll see all your texts if you ever open the app although you may be able to disable or remove it. (YMMV based on your particular phone.)

Are you saying that two of the most powerful financial institutions in the world would bribe the politician who does what the billionires want and has explicitly requested bribes in the past? Surely you’re not serious.

Serious answer? Just wait 4 years. Rename it to Project 2029 or 2033 or 2037, as often as needed. That’s the really exhausting part. Now that they have this plan, we have to defeat it every time. The figurehead is not as important as the plan. They’ll be another candidate willing to become a dictator, I’m sure.

It may just be a difference in use case. I don’t use navigation apps for my daily and local trips. I use navigation when I’m going to be driving hundreds of miles to a new location and don’t already know how to get there.

If your primary goal is finding out how to get from A to B and not caring about the very fastest way to get from A to B right now, then you don’t need traffic data.

Just because “I have money but I am not happy” is a true statement, that does not mean that “if you have money, you will not be happy” is a true statement.

Ooh, yes ape daddy! Pound my monkussy!

Tupoah Country Tribune is a satirical site. The picture you linked is about halfway down this article:

Know Your Meme says the firing is a false rumor. I don’t even know that she works at a preschool… because I have not and will not research that… because I am lazy.

If you have to cross 8 lanes of traffic to end up behind someone, I don’t know of that still counts as “in passing”.

I do not understand what is happening here. I do not understand why you are spending your time like this. I don’t know why there seems to be a few users dedicated to downvoting people.adding context to a sensational - if true - headline. I don’t think I’m going to succeed at this, but I have some free time so I’ll try one more time. Here’s a hypothetical:

Say there was many who went crazy and stabbed 30 people at the mall. Half of the victims are white and half are black. This is inline with the racial demographics in the area where the population is about a 50/50 mix of white and black people. A headline is written that reads “Man Stabs 15 Black People”.

Now, this headline is completely accurate and truthful. The crazy guy totally stabbed 15 black people. However, they also stabbed 15 white people. Only including part of the data in the headline gives the impression that the man was only stabbing black people. He totally wasn’t and that totally isn’t what the headline says, but it is what it implies.

The author of the headline could have and should have said that the Bible did not include the entire constitution or that it left out most of the amendments (including those ending (most) slavery and allowing women to vote). They could have but they didn’t. People choose words intentionally. In this case, they chose words that made people believe that only those two amendments were left out. Any user could read the article and find the whole truth there. Outrage drives engagement, though, and engagement sells ads. I get why the author made the choice they did. It was not factually wrong and it probably achieved their goal of greater engagement. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t misleading.

Here’s some bits from Merriam-Webster. Mislead: : to lead in a wrong direction or into a mistaken action or belief often by deliberate deceit : to lead astray : give a wrong impression

Also, if the intent was to include only the amendments that Republicans like, I would have expected at least the 11th to be there.

There’s a better discussion over there. Trump is dumb. This version of the Bible is dumb. The headline is not wrong but is (probably intentionally) misleading.

I think the joke is that the props department needed a collection of medals and one of them is just a combadge painted a different color. Maybe they ran out of ideas, maybe it was easy, maybe they assumed nobody would notice. Star Trek needed a lot of props that looked alien or futuristic but sometimes it’s just a hair dryer with a curvy pipe glued on the outside and spray painted black.

You mean I have to grind in order to progress the main mission? That’s not new.

So I can finally make progress on my video game backlog?
