Maybe it’s like a dog whistle and only the dogs can taste the true flavor!

Llamas intensifying

I just saw a revised death toll in Gaza. Lots of people have been downplaying this. This is only one example.

MAGA is a perfect example. On a national stage even! Hey, where’s that Pence guy?

Yeah. Why go through all the effort to cover up the true nature of your actions if your beliefs and views are so much more balanced. While the speech here may be more absolutist, I think other people who don’t factor in these untruths or use them to make their points have much to add to the conversation. It’s just talking points.

No doubt. Same, but your comment made me double check. It was good reading anyway!

I think that blurb is referencing the Doomsday Clock:

the Clock is a metaphor, not a prediction, for threats to humanity from unchecked scientific and technological advances. That is, the time on the Clock is not to be interpreted as actual time. A hypothetical global catastrophe is represented by midnight on the Clock, with the Bulletin’s opinion on how close the world is to one represented by a certain number of minutes or seconds to midnight, which is then assessed in January of each year.

To me, I’ve always associated the PDA with devices w/o the phone capability, pre-smartphones. Those existed. Looked similar to modern smartphones, just bulkier and with less capability. That’s been the distinction for me.

Frankly, the only other word for (cell)phone or mobile has been smartphone. I don’t think we have a better word for them yet (pocket computer just doesn’t grab you).

Which one?

Yeah, I’m about to pick my shit up and move. World on fire.

Maybe put some pants on first

Thank you for your response!

Haha

What is going on with the onlookers?! Why are they there?

Add a stretchy string to that stick, with a poofy thing or feather on the end of it, preferably with a little bell on it too, and that cat is gonna love/destroy that thing so fast!!

Pull my finger 💨

I was searching for something that. Cool! I think the old Scrappy Doo character came to mind first!
