I swear I'm not making this up like a month ago my physical therapist asked me about the new cologne I'm wearing. I told him I didn't use any and he kind of persisted he was like no, it smells really good and I'm like I dunno dude. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure I'm not wearing cologne." I don't have a sense of smell since catching covid in 2020 so I had no clue. Then he was like "oh, I forgot I put a scented candle down over here, I didn't think it would be so strong when it's not lit". He clearly felt really awkward and I didn't want to laugh too much to make him feel worse but what the hell dude.

It is reported for the first time that federal prosecutors are looking into the mayor's dealings with five countries besides Turkey. The other countries are Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea and Uzbekistan.
Undoubtedly a dumb question, but what are these countries getting in exchange? I get that Israel is entrenched in our politics and has interest in maintaining that, but even for them there's got to be a reason they wouldn't just do this through AIPAC like every US politician.

Not hornyposting at all when I say I need to see the american pikachu-redesign tiger with huge breasts and all the other design proposals from the american staff. Those sketches are historical artifacts and someone needs to dig them up and put them in a museum.
That's great vocabulary I'm gonna start using that. I'm a little sick so I'm cisporting myself home today guys.
I gotta admit "Character Limit" is a pretty clever title for the subject at hand.
A huge hamster but please don't tell Weird Ed Edison.
I read this over and over and could not figure out the correct way to interpret it, but now that I've briefly glanced at this Mark Robinson drama this tweet is actually hilarious.
Are you confident there is a complete insignificant number of teamster members that have no racial biases at all? And that they all believe women as just as capable leaders?
I strongly suspect that a very high percentage of the members that would flip when their candidate turns out to be a woman and/or minority were already solidly in the Trump camp even when Biden was running. I really do not believe that 40% of the teamsters currently in favor of Trump preferred another option before the democratic candidate was changed to a minority woman.
Not identical, but I don't think I've encountered anyone IRL who thinks more highly of Biden than of Obama without loathing Biden.

After using auto-translate five minutes ago, I am now very upset about the English translation of the yo-kai "Flash T. Cash"
(hexbear.net)
Yo-Kai Watch 3 post!
I'm trying to milk the remaining week out of one of my favorite games before Nintendo shuts down all the 3DS online stuff and I won't get to battle online anymore. The decent English-language sites for this game went down a while ago, so I tried using google auto-translate on the Japanese one.
This stood out to me because the English translators called this guy "Flash T. Cash" and I'm in shock at how much better his name is when just using google autotranslate: link
He's one of the 'Merican yo-kai, who comes from the faraway country of BBQ. (It's possible that the Japanese name for that nation doesn't translate to BBQ either.)
But in the week before the all-important caucuses, Scott Wagner, the recently installed head of the super PAC, was doing something that aides found puzzling: He was literally doing a puzzle.
In the headquarters of Never Back Down in West Des Moines, Iowa, Wagner was, according to some of his staff, spending a significant amount of time in the precious final few days constructing a peaceful 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle of a landscape.
In a photo taken on Jan. 9, shared with NBC News by a Never Back Down team member, others in the room were hunched over their laptops.
“Staffers are putting their dedication and devotion to electing Gov. DeSantis and they come in and the CEO, the chairman of the organization, is sitting there working on a puzzle for hours,” said a Never Back Down staffer who was there.
Another Never Back Down staffer also said Wagner worked on it for “hours” in the week before Iowa.
In a comment to NBC News, Wagner noted that the “office puzzle” was “there when we arrived” and “became a sense of pride for the entire team and everyone chipped in a few minutes a piece to get it done.”

I found this here and have verified the accuracy by copy-pasting into google translate myself.
My question is, is this discrepancy due directly to an intentional decision to translate differently, or is it because google translate has been trained on news articles that have been manually translated for English-speaking audiences?
(To be clear, both paragraphs should involve one person kicking another in the nuts, unless I'm missing something.)

Needing to use "The Le Epic prefix" is absolutely not necessary because it's too much investment into regularly acknowledging and sharing an opinion on the dumb idea when you can just call it twitter like most people still do and be done with it. If you need to think of that as resistance, you still can! The guy really seems like the type to be more peeved about people ignoring his ideas than denouncing them.
You don't need to respond to an instance of someone referring to the platform as "x" with a statement on how you feel about it, you can just call it twitter when you yourself talk about it. Whether it's because you actually don't care or because you want to be the change and all that, either way it will make your life a little easier.
