White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt is insist-lying that “no classified material was sent to the thread.” You know, except for the classified material that the National Security Council confirmed was sent to the thread, of course.

Have tney even once said “thank you” to the republiQans?!

OoooooooOOOHHH SNAP! Demanded answers!!

Y’all, I’m feeling a statement coming on that’s “very concerned”!!

Texas, you say

How odd!

It kind of is, in that whenever there’s a thread about features we’d like to see, people mention we’d like to see the replies from the people we haven’t blocked in a sub-thread started by people we have blocked.

But other than that, yeah just the way it is for now.

Well the former is the reason “half” doesn’t work as well. Trillion, Quintillion, Zillion, it has less impact.

Wrong.

Ah yes the Being Eaten By A Crocodile Competition

“How a Texas town defies the US Constitution”

Pesticides and climate destruction?

Waiting for the next headline to have “Experts suggest” this.

Journalism is just on fire lately isn’t it.

“Experts warn touching open flame to gasoline may be flammable”

Certain conditions apply.

Also they suck. Like, in general.

No, enshittified search engines are only catalogging those because they’re in the AI bed with them.

Your Favorite Forum still rules.

It can be done, but it’s a pain in th ass and it varies by vendor, model, and version (and region). Whether it breaks any functionality is dependent on those things although usually not. If it breaks something it’s usually like the ability to change volume over bluetooth and stuff like that vs - y’know the screen not working or something.

I think it’s the opposite. We’re all used to “a billion” now, even thought we can’t really concieve of it the way we can, say $100. But a trillion is just space money. Just make it a gazillion.

500 Billion has real competitive traction - people are billionaires, this is more than them, etc. A trillion is something you have nanoparticles of, something very small.

No, “half” sounds like half. 500 of something sounds like more than half of something. (Yes, trillion > billion, we’re not debating the actual facts - which are the same either way - just the way it’s perceived in a headline)

Half of dinners. 500 meals. Half a car. 500 auto parts. Half of all dealerships. 500 independent dealers. etc.
