Doesn't instagram claim messages are e2e encrypted? How can this work without them having access to all messages?

Retarded also has a pre-existing use, for "slowed down". it's used a lot in engineering, chemistry, even sometimes art.

For instance the mechanism that regulates the shutter speed on a mechanical camera is called a retarder.

Queer to mean "weird or odd" dates from the 16th century, it didn't come to refer to homosexuality until the 19th century, so to me although it would sound dated the original meaning still has precedence.

It's similar to gay/gaily used in it's original meaning in a lot of ways.

I think you may be confusing borderline and bipolar.

That looks really, bad, doctors of all people should know that evidence is everything in medicine.

That seems a little odd, although bipolar doesn't require a manic episode, only hypo-manic.

the instance I found only supports 50

This was my issue with it. If you're uploading FLACs you use that up quickly.

Obviously giving everyone 100s of GiBs is a big ask for anyone hosting such a service, I understand that.

To me, Corbyn's problem was being too nice. When the party needed an old fashioned Stalinist purge of Blairites he made the arch Blairite his Brexit secretary.

When Blair purged socialists from the party he rejected calls for Corbyn to be expelled, because he didn't consider him a threat, you should always learn from your opponents' mistakes.

The c-suite of the MPAA is surprisingly... diverse https://www.motionpictures.org/who-we-are/our-people/

The only colour the bourgeoisie care about is green.

The article doesn't address this directly but:

the company first had to re-formulate the ingredients to ensure the products met federal guidelines.

The introduction of Lunchables in schools came amid proposed changes to school food guidelines by the USDA, which oversees the federally assisted school meal program. The proposed changes aimed to reduce added sugars and sodium levels in school-provided lunches.

Doesn't that imply a lot of the current options are even worse than the kiddy charcuterie?

I'm guessing a lot of these problems come from the comically low amount paid for each school meal?
