I can’t imagine feeling comfortable saying something like this, especially on fucking tv

Well feigned ignorance can totally be a strength, but actual ignorance is only worth your luck or others’ protective instinct

I’m honestly not sure how that would apply to infant adoptions. It’s my understanding that if the adoption occurs early enough, the adoptive parents will be listed on the birth certificate. It certainly feels like a child adopted in infancy by citizens should be just as eligible for the presidency as a child naturally born to citizens, but I’d also have a hard time drawing a line age-wise after which that would no longer apply and I do see a reason to bar children adopted at 17 from the presidency. My niece was adopted at three years old and she does remember her biological mother, but she’s absolutely my sister and brother in law’s daughter, in terms of her personality, culture, and values. That’s only a data point of one and I’d like more, but I don’t know how easy that would be to track for other adopted children.

I like tequila with a pickleback, which is the way less classy version of this.

Well that’s a fucking problem. What if Russia, India, and the US turn against the rest of the world? I don’t know if other NATO countries and other countries with competitive militaries can do it alone. China is going to have to take a stand one way or the other. I hope they make the right decision, but I don’t know if they will.

Ehh, they scored more than half of those points within six minutes, and six out of seven within the first half hour. They stopped trying to score after halftime and dampened their post-goal celebrations. It seemed like they really weren’t trying to rub it in, but Brazil was just not being competitive.

Feel bad for their children, not the Yale educated lawyer who chose to marry him.

I’m tall, blue eyed, fluent in German, and I married a German, so racists always consider me “one of the good ones”(until they actually talk to me). It was still absolutely night and day to go with my husband. It’s probably worth buying a friend lunch.

I worry they’ll be trillionaires and everyone else will be the millionaires, carting our wheelbarrows full of useless dollars around

If you haven’t already, try bringing a German with you to the ausländerbehörde. It’s wild how much politer and more attentive they are

I left after I saw how we handled covid. I have friends who started looking in November of 2016 and family who did in January of 2001. We didn’t start the fire.

My cat’s cool until they try to take her temperature, which she hates. She always looks at me like I’ve betrayed her and I can’t blame her, it’s a pretty invasive thing that I can’t exactly explain to her. She just knows that I brought her somewhere and tried to calm her down before someone put something in her ass.

I’ve got such a crush on Brian blessed.

Equipping cops with cameras gets cops in prison, not the people cops are terrorizing, that’s the difference.

It does look weirdly ai though. I’m not saying it’s fake, because frankly, I don’t think there’s an ai yet that can create that much sensible text, and the details on his hand and arm are true to life (based on that thumbnail, he should probably take a multivitamin).

Anyone know what’s so off-looking about the handwriting though? I figure it’s a weird angle and that’s why the text fades towards the right side of the page, but it’s a very strange picture all around. Maybe things just get funky when you take pictures at that level of zoom.

That’s smaller than I print for notes and I can see just well enough to legally drive without issues (plus unlike trump, I actually know how to)

That’s €376.10, not nearly enough imo.

I felt nuts spending €1000 on mine.

It’s a way higher number than that. Women, GSM, anyone not white, Muslims, disabled people, elderly people, children, students, immigrants, non-fluent English speakers, and of course, anyone outspoken against the regime.

Text is never 100% black, but rastered.

Does “rastered” mean the image is mapped onto a very fine grid and each square is given a 0-100 value for intensity of ink? I looked it up, and it seemed like the squares are given a binary value, but this is nowhere near my wheelhouse and I’m honestly not sure I understood the Wikipedia page, let alone the references
