Funny how trans people never have religious rights in these discussions. Or how they refer to “trans ideology” rather than trans religious or philosophical beliefs. If I were to opine on my beliefs of the soul/spirit, I would say I was created with a female spirit in a male body. If I have any religious belief, then it is a religious worldview where such a thing is possible. Yet trans people never seem to have their religious rights acknowledged.
Hell, a business or industry run primarily by men in their fifties and older can be referred to as “a boys club.”
I know, use the worst of all options, “lawyeress.” /s
There are obviously still contacts where the distinction is important.
I think “fight wagon” is probably a better descriptor than simply “tank.”
Although, it’s funny in a way. At least in American English, we don’t really use the word “wagon” much anymore. And when we do, we’re usually referring to something like this:
So the idea of one of those bristling with guns is quite humorous.
My favorite incidents of bungled auto transcription:
First, on a a voicemail, the caller said, “this is _____ over at Rice’s pharmacy.” The transcription read, “this is _____, overt racist pharmacy.”
I mean, I suppose if the pharmacy is racist, at least they’re overt about it so people can avoid the place.
Second, I have some lecture videos on YouTube, and in one course we used a text by Hibbeler. A few times in the video I will say something like, “this is problem so an so from the Hibbeler text.” The captions have me referring to “the Hitler text.”
Apparently I was referencing Mein Kampf while teaching undergraduate mechanics, for some reason.
Why is my ass always itching?
Because you don’t wash it, you dumbass.
Exactly. So if we want to be pedants, earth or Earth would be fine here. Even if he’s in a building, that building is still on the soil. Even if he’s flying in an airplane, that airplane is supported by air, which it itself supported by earth. The only way you can’t be “on earth” is if you’re in space and/or in freefall. And Musk is too much of a coward to climb aboard one of his own rockets.
A 7 month old did that? Bullshit.
But they’re shit even for that. Part of tracking Social Security benefits is tracking taxes paid to Social Security. Unlike other forms of ID, like credit cards, SSNs have no check digits or other means of error prevention. Take a valid SSN. Change on of the digits. That new number is also a valid SSN. Any random 9-digit number can be a valid SSN.
What this means is that all it takes to screw up any form with an SSN on it is to have illegible handwriting on a single one of the digits. You make a single easy error on an employment form, and now your SS taxes are registered under the wrong number.
I’m also skeptical of the Social Security Bureau’s stance on insisting it wasn’t intended as a broad identifier. OF COURSE it was going to be used as an identifier! It’s the only single ID number that the federal government gives out to everyone. OF COURSE it’s going to be used for that. Such a number is of such obvious and great utility that of course it was going to be used for broader purposes. If you create something of such obvious utility, you have an obligation to make sure it’s made well.
It also really strains credulity when Social Security has an entire system dedicated to allowing third parties to verify SSNs. It’s literally called The Social Security Verification Service.
If the Social Security Administration really didn’t want SSNs being used for purposes other than Social Security, then they could have easily prevented them for being used for such purposes. Think about how your SSN works with your bank. You apply for a bank account. They ask you your SSN. You tell them. But how do they know that this information is accurate? Your bank contacts Social Security! The bank has a form you sign that gives permission for them to as the Social Security Bureau to confirm your SSN. And the Social Security office happily obliges.
The Social Security Administration doesn’t just tolerate the use of SSNs for third party uses. It actively facilitates such third party uses of SSNs.
You missed an option.
What makes you think the cafe still has bins inside? The OP here is claiming the bins were removed from the cafe/picnic area.
How do you know that? You’re not OP.
Read the fucking post for fucks sake. It’s right fucking there.
The sign says the bins were removed. The post headline says the bins were removed from the cafe area. This is a cafe at a visitor center at a forest.
Before you go insulting the reading comprehension of others, try working on your own.
I think that’s the problem. I interpret it as the cafe removed their bins.
The problem isn’t that a park removed their trash cans. The problem is that a cafe removed their trash cans.
If you operate a business that sells things in paper plates and wrappers, you certainly have a moral responsibility to have waste receptacles to collect those waste products.
The problem isn’t that a park lacks trash cans. The problem is that a cafe removed their trash bins.
Anyone still on X at this point is a Nazi collaborator.
I choose to imagine they both have equal kinetic energy.
The language of scientific literature is not the same as the language of everyday use. There’s a reason grad programs have entire courses dedicated to scientific communication.
