Found my partner on Hinge as well, so it kind of per definition isn't useless. That being said, I don't think one should invest too much time and energy into it since online dating can be incredibly emotionally and mentally draining.

The "both sides" argument is one of the fascists' favorite ways to inspire voter apathy, maybe take a second to think about harm reduction instead of focusing only on your own moral superiority.

Also, I'm not American, I have never voted in a US election.

To remind people that their actions have consequences and that they need to take an active role in the democratic process if they want to preserve it.

It's the 250th birthday of the US Army, this was supposedly in planning already under Biden's administration. Trump is definitely taking the opportunity to make it about himself though.

Is no one else gonna do it? Alright, guess I'm it.

Steve Harvey: "We asked 100 people, what is the male reproductive organ?"

Contestant: "The penis"

SH: "A WUH... HUH??"

audience erupts into laughter

Steve Harvey grabs onto podium to support himself

laughter gets even louder

SH: O lordy...

one man goes into cardiac arrest and many others begin vomiting profusely from laughing too hard

SH: YOU PEOPLE NEED HELP

the Earth shatters and Satan rises from the underworld to claim unworthy souls

the universe begins rapidly closing in on itself

SH: (putting on a weary voice) Survey says...

the board shows 100 for "penis"

Harvey is able to get off one more shocked look before existence as we know it comes to an end

I can add that if you ever say something that you yourself think was stupid, it's often better to just own up to it than to play it off (within limits). Something like "That was a stupid thing for me to say, I'm sorry, you're just very beautiful and I'm a bit nervous" as an example.

I am offended by this.

It's obviously z = boobs.

C++ is unironically my favorite language, especially coding in python feels so ambiguous and you need to take care of so many special cases that just wouldn't even exist in C++.

I want to add that experimental reactors used for scientific research might never become net energy positive and that would be fine. Their purpose isn't to generate profit, it's to learn more about the physics, so it will be more valuable for them to be adaptable than efficient.

However, that doesn't mean that you can't take a configuration that has been shown to have potential and make a reactor that is more efficient than adaptable and use that to generate power for the electrical grid.

Basically, they have two different purposes.

From the Wikipedia page:

If untreated, symptoms may include loss of the ability to move one or both sides of the face, joint pains, severe headaches with neck stiffness or heart palpitations. Months to years later, repeated episodes of joint pain and swelling may occur. Occasionally, shooting pains or tingling in the arms and legs may develop. Despite appropriate treatment, about 10 to 20% of those affected develop joint pains, memory problems, and tiredness for at least six months.

The term "premium-feeling" does a lot of heavy lifting in that paragraph, one might almost say that it's a bit subjective.
