Wat? It’s called a colloquialism. It’s a way to describe something I know you know without needing to spell it out.

You’re basically asserting that anything described using an analogy must inherit all the traits of anything else that analogy is used for, which is just silly. It’s a classic composition/division fallacy.

Yeah, my state just enacted a “bell-to-bell” ban on cell phones in schools for my kids. I absolutely support a ban on phones in class (so long as the school is providing necessary tech to educate with) but banning between class just ignores that phones are an important part of how kids socialize and ripping it away cold-turkey can’t be healthy.

Edit: also, I gave my kids phones primarily so they could contact me in an emergency, and I am very much not ok with the state telling me they can’t have the phone in their backpack.

Also the whole incredible adaptable camouflage thing.

Edit: I’d probably be an Orca (the asshole of the sea) or a peregrine falcon. One gets to glide through the ocean, the other soar through the air. Both sound rad.

I

I agree that it’s not much of an argument.

I loathe and despise using percentages like this.

500% sounds super scary, but is meaningless without providing the baseline. If there was only one instance before and now there’s 5 it isn’t a significant increase but 500% sure sounds scary.

This is a very republican method of argument.

Edit: now tell them to go “do your own research”

Touché

First time seeing it for me. Maybe we don’t need to be the post police.

The condition, known as alpha-gal syndrome

Knee-jerk reaction: oh come on, a condition where you can’t eat red meat is called alpha gal syndrome. Fucking toxic masculinity at its finest.

After two minutes of research, from a different site:

Alpha-gal is a molecule (galactose-α-1,3-galactose) that is naturally produced in the bodies of most mammals but not in people. It is also found in the saliva (spit) of some ticks.

Oh. Well. I retract my previous indignation, but maintain that it is a very funny coincidence.

Oh, wait! I know this one!!

No, it isn’t.

That’s exactly why Robert is hesitating. He doesn’t want to make a statement. He just wants an electric, durable, practical truck.

Ok, so this is just a marketing fluff article right? Because the cyber truck is very well documented to only be one of the three things listed there.
