  • Obviously it's pronounced the same as the the "g" in "gigantic"

  • World chess federation bars transgender women from competing in women's events
  • Wow. The argument against trans women in sports is already unscientific enough. Why is chess even split into gendered categories? This just makes zero sense.

  • Dem Rep Dean Phillips of Minnesota calls on Biden to "Pass the Torch" to another presidential candidate
  • The incumbent president always runs.

    Not always. Yes, usually, but definitely not always. See, for example, in the last 100 years:

    • Johnson in 1968 (he knew he had no chance against RFK and had alienated a lot of the base with the escalation of the war in Vietnam)

    • Truman in 1952 (low polling because of the war in Korea and other domestic issues)

    • Coolidge in 1928 ("The Presidential office takes a heavy toll of those who occupy it and those who are dear to them. While we should not refuse to spend and be spent in the service of our country, it is hazardous to attempt what we feel is beyond our strength to accomplish.")

    Granted, all three of these men served more than one full term in office because they each had taken over after the previous president had died, but each had the ability to run for an additional term and chose not to. Anyway, it is no more true that the incumbent president always runs than it is true that the VP always runs for the presidency at the conclusion of that term.

  • Fucking bummer dude. My new d20 doesn't fit in my dice case.
  • What other orientation could he possibly put it in? The dude rolled a nat 20. If he can't get it to fit after a roll like that, then there's really no hope.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
  • I'm upvoting, not because I agree, but because this is probably the least popular opinion on this thread, and I commend you for taking such a stance.

  • I think they are both good examples. Cruz is the example I specifically think of, but that doesn't make good bad!

    Is there a list of instances that support free speech?
  • I'm unsure what your point is. Are you talking about social media companies, or are you talking about the government? Because free speech is about censorship from the government, not private corporations

  • DeSantis is still standing by Florida’s revisionist Black history
  • ... that just looks like you're spelling racist wrong lol

  • Trump says he won't sign loyalty pledge required for first GOP debate
  • We all know they're in Mississippi, but there are chapters in some good states, too.

  • That photo of Ted Cruz phonebanking for Trump after Trump straight up insulted Cruz's wife? That one photo was all I needed to know about the direction things were headed in for the Republicans.

  • [Feature Request] buttons to turn names of instances and communities into links

    Would it be possible, in the formatting bar below the text boxes, to have a button that will automatically create a link to an instance or communities? (And usernames now that I think about it?) I keep forgetting and having to look up the exact formatting for each of them. Thank you!

    apnews.com North Dakota university leaders fear 'catastrophic implications' of Minnesota's new free tuition plan

    North Dakota higher education officials are deeply worried about losing students and revenue in 2024 when neighboring Minnesota makes tuition free for thousands of its residents at public colleges and universities.

    North Dakota university leaders fear 'catastrophic implications' of Minnesota's new free tuition plan

    I mean... you oppose free higher education and then are surprised that kids flee your state for a nearby state that provides free higher education?

    reversed "submit" and "go back" buttons

    Sonic's complaint form has the "go back" and "submit" buttons reversed from typical so people accidentally delete their complaint and have to decide whether to fill the form out again or just forget it.
