Very helpful, thank you!

Ahh that's interesting, so the issue is as much having a conveniently shifting position as it is a further-right-than-progressives static position. Thanks a ton, that helps me understand a lot!

Gotcha, so it means fake leftists almost? Does it imply someone is even further right than a current "centrist"? Or more like, "the center is right wing at this point, and so much so that even the Dems who are just left of center are still on the right [but therefore less than centrists still]"? This is not meant to be obstinate, your response was just very helpful and I want to bracket in on where folks consider liberals to be on the political spectrum so I can understand/use it properly.

 

For the longest time, "liberal" seemed like it basically just meant "Democrat" the same way "conservative" has/had been used to mean "Republican." Now, it seems like it means "bad Democrat" and is even worse than being MAGA the way many seem to use it. Where did its use as an insult within the [relative] political left come from, and what does it specifically accuse/identify someone of/as?

We've all snuck something home from the office here and there

Communism (or Marxism more specifically)

The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and should have been "the Fr*nch 🤢."

How much energy does it take to go at it lol? I could jerk it 5 times and my wife could still turn me on like crazy 20 minutes later. It's not finite like a budget haha, we'll both be just as into it as ever, I'll just last a little longer for having helped myself lol.

Totally. Every next safety measure from airbags to seatbelts are about adding extra inches, rarely even full feet, and they are shockingly effective.

Largely true, but it's crazy what the difference of just a few feet of slowing down does (rather than zero feet of abrupt stopping) to acceleration forces. The crumple zone on a car only has to be 3 feet long to turn a 60mph crash from a fatality to a horrific injury.

Wow that's interesting, cuz I share zero trust with the NSA, too.

That goose is so fly they call his feathers "up" instead of "down"

Dang, really thought that'd work...

 

This has been going on since I joined months ago, so I don't think it's a recent update thing.

Anyway, if I click on a post of a news article or something, and then within that article click to a second (and third or fourth etc.) page for more information, when I then click the "back" button on my Android, it returns me all the way back to the app rather than to my previous page online. I'd love if it worked like in a standard browser and just brought me back one page rather than closing the browser window.
