what do they want from us
I swear a social studies teacher told us that most rivers tend to flow north to south. Young impressionable child I was, I of course filed it away as a long-term core memory -- right there next to PEMDAS, FOIL, and so on.
Then I mentioned it in college and got fucking embarrassed.
Yeah, outrageous headline, obvious hypocrisy. But if you read to the end, the article is basically in support of it:
But let’s get real: both sides of the political aisle are pointing fingers and making things worse. Trump and Vance have their supporters, while the Democrats are no strangers to throwing some fiery jabs themselves.
One side is spreading lies. The other side is calling bullshit -- but that's rude, so BoTh SiDeS aRe aT fAuLt.
It's like an Arrested Development gag. One Ohio Karen overheard her neighbor talking about getting her pussy ate and now we gotta close the entire US border.
The 19 words: "...because democracy basically meaningless..." (pause) "Government by the people, of the people, for the people... but the people are [fools]."
I'm inserting "fools" cuz I don't wanna use outdated insults.
That would be called vacation time vs sick time in my org, but there are definitely differences in when/how they're used.
Sick time is like, "I don't feel good today, I'm just not working today."
Vacation time is like, "I'm feeling pretty good today, I'd like to take a feel-good day. But I better schedule schedule it a couple weeks out, check with my manager, make sure there are no deadlines coming up, make sure someone else can cover for me," and so on.
This is... silly. But I do wonder how it works. Does it aggregate all responses and look for commonalities? Does it factor in the upvote/downvote counts? And, does it know how to discern genuine user input from astroturfed marketing copy in disguise?
