It's chilly in January - Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas and Louisiana beg for federal money. Texas may or may not turn into a pumpkin.

Try to train a human comedian to make jokes without ever allowing him to hear another comedian's jokes, never watching a movie, never reading a book or magazine, never watching a TV show. I expect the jokes would be pretty weak.

I haven't used C since 1995, but in my recollection, they're needed so that the compiler can do type-checking (to the extent possible) in other files that use the function.

Wasn't it like, last week that Republicans were screaming that we were grinding up toddlers to make stem cells?

Child dies after accidentally being shot in the chest at a target practice area

Haus @kbin.social 2y ago

You know, whenever a kid gets accidentally shot, I think of all the other 359x359 directions the bullet could have gone and wonder how many millions of stray shots are flying around.

I was trying to think of one. Lech Walesa came to mind, but it's doubtful. There was a Romanian president maybe 20 years ago that was a merchant ship officer, who often get f/l qualified (I did), but iirc, he flamed out.

'What’s happening is not organic': Why the right thinks Taylor Swift is a government PsyOp designed to swing the 2024 election

It's like they're swift-boating her.

The term swiftboating (also swift-boating or swift boating) is a pejorative American neologism used to describe an unfair or untrue political attack. The term is derived from the name of the organization "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" (SBVT, later the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth) because of their widely publicized—and later discredited—political smear campaign[1][2][3][4][5] against 2004 U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry.[6][1][7][8] Since the 2004 election, the term has come to commonly refer to a political attack that is dishonest, personal, and unfair.[9][10]

Same content as Lemmy and better UI. Been here (and the startrek.website lemmy) since reddit imploded, and spend way more time in kbin than any other fediverse service.
