Wondered what “apron” meant in this context…

The airport apron, apron, flight line, or ramp is the area of an airport where aircraft are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled, boarded, or maintained.

US be like, “we’re making sci-fi stuff too!” but they mean just like the dystopian parts of sci-fi, none of the cool stuff.

I had thought about seeing that last time it toured my city, didn’t know about it’s reputation

Ooooof

I mean, not terribly surprising…

If a man dates a “crazy” woman, he moves on.

If a woman dates a crazy man, she dies

Honest reporting looks like propaganda if the only news one is used to reading has been filtered through the fourteen layers of the American empire’s propagandic method.

Ahhhh I highly doubt they’ll admit to a mistake, they’ll likely simply not acknowledge it at all but if they do acknowledge that they’re stepping in their own shit they’ll spin it as some kind of grand strategy to “determine which portions of the fat they trimmed were truly useless”.

I can handwrite cyphered text as fast as I can write ordinarily. Never have practiced reading the cyphered text though so reading notes that I took in cypher is a pain in the ass…

“emissions are still increasing… thanks to China.” I understood China led the world in renewable energy development, their total emissions are still increasing despite that?

all your hands?

I thought it defined gender based on the reproductive cell one’s body produces, e.g. the producer of the larger cell is female, the smaller is male.

Which introduces it’s own problem because a lot of people don’t generate reproductive cells. So we now have quite a lot of genderless persons around us everyday in Trump’s America.

Is this legitimate?

Because this rocks

If, at the time of this measurement, there was still half the peak US traffic then that’s still 16m Americans slightly less naive. If that number continues to decline by ~half every week, we still have (imagining) two million Americans who are less likely to support a president who decides to add Cuba back to the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism.

This isn’t a windfall, but it is not insignificant.

Musk tried to defend his flagrant Nazi pageantry by pointing himself out as a Zionist. Wasn’t literally Hitler a supporter of the creation of Israel (a Jewish state)?

Over this past year of Israel’s full-throated genocide in Palestine, I’ve been surprised to not see it pointed out that (to my understanding) Zionism was a platform of the Nazi party.

Am I wrong? Was Zionism not so explicitly supported by the Nazi party?

Your link is to a liveblog containing a continually increasing stack of articles, I’m not sure which you intended to point at?

Ohhhhhhh! I have a friend named Miranda and once I was around a Spanish-speaking friend of hers and when this woman would pronounce Miranda’s name, I would hear “me-landa”

But that’s what you’re talking about! The “r” sounds have a little tap to the roof of the mouth… Okay, I’m experimenting with this, I had never noticed before how close the “n” sound was to the “l” sound…

Thank you!

A cursory check that I’m too busy to give my full attention indicates that, maybe(?) the motive of the Gunpowder Treason was to improve religious freedom?

Neat

Goddamn, was my brain ever this smooth??
