Just coming across this thread now I looked at the screencap and assumed it was being posted because another sockpuppet got outed.
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.
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.
It's the username created for the specific purpose of creating this post that gets me here. You gotta respect this person that named themselves "roommateirrational" for seeking sincere opinions on whether their roommate is being hysterical.
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.
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.
Can confirm, I know a woman in person and she definitely wouldn't get flashlights.
I don't think I get this joke at all but also I really like this joke and maybe it would be less amusing if I did understand it.
Somehow this album still hasn't really clicked with me beyond the first couple minutes of this one song. There's like a point where you switch from "I enjoy this" to "I understand this" and for whatever reason I made that leap for all of their first six albums (through Deliverance) and then nothing afterwards. MAYH and Blackwater Park are spectacular and "Deliverance" is one of the best metal songs of all time.
I don't know how meaningful the question really is
It's funny how my first thought is to quip that it's meaningful in that fascists might consider rebranding as communists, then I remember that "national socialism" is an actual thing that arguably had some historical significance.
Aramark’s three-year, $145 million contract...
The state fined Aramark $200,000
That will teach them to stop serving human beings maggot-infested food!
I am absolutely astonished. How does a person even make this connection? I cannot for the life of me imagine being able to come up with this from watching the debate.
I fell for it and this time I don't know if I'm supposed to be embarrassed because I somehow can't even tell if the parody is meant to be obvious or subtle.
Someone please help me articulate why this is somehow the funniest thing I have seen all day.
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.)
>Oxman, for her part, wasn’t sure what to make of her husband’s chivalrous tweeting, which had drawn even more attention to the allegations. (Through Ackman’s spokesperson, she declined to comment for this story.) Ackman wrote on X that the pressure from the Business Insider stories “could have literally killed her” and that he had seen others commit suicide in similar circumstances. “She was in a pretty dark place,” Ackman told me, adding that he tried to nudge her toward finding a silver lining: “I’m like, ‘Look, you didn’t do anything wrong; we’ll get this fixed,’ and ‘Actually, the more negative press, the -better. Once we turn this around, it’ll be good for your company.’” He wasn’t sure the pitch had landed —
wait for it...
>“There were times when she said, ‘Please don’t tweet anymore’” — but he defended himself by pointing to memes online suggesting he had become a hero to wives everywhere. “There’s a meme going around that apparently I’m causing a lot of marriages to have trouble,” Ackman said. “Like this one where a husband emails his wife, ‘Honey, I did the dishes.’ And she’s like, ‘Big fucking deal. Did you see what Ackman’s doing for his wife?’”
From this nymag.com article.
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.)
On Israeli efforts to minimize civilian casualties, NSC's John Kirby says: "We have seen some indications that there are there are efforts being applied in certain scenarios to try to minimize, but I don't want to overstate that."

Bet everyone who was getting all worked up over the bombing campaign feels pretty silly right now.

> The captain was responding to a robbery inside the Crenshaw Mall which took place on April 15th, 2017, the department reports, during which time Lozano and fellow former Officer Eric Mitchell were parked in their squad car less than 200 yards away, playing Pokémon GO. Court documents reveal that the officers then drove away from the scene of the robbery in pursuit of Snorlax and Togetic.
> “There was a Larvitar earlier, when we first got out,” one officer can be heard to say while parked in the new footage, and later, “It’s nice to have more Pokéballs, and the potions.”
