  1. I don't think she thought she was negotiating anything.

  2. If John Sparkman, George McGovern, and John Kerry didn't get indicted for violating it, I think it's just unenforceable law for anyone.

It's not even capitalism but just society in general. Good people typically look at what it takes to lead and want nothing for it. To strive to be in charge of things you have to have a certain arrogance and to succeed you have to be ruthless enough as well.

1 John 2:18 uses it both as a proper noun and as a generic noun, and nowadays "Antichrist" is more a colloquial name for the first beast of Revelation 13 even if that's not directly what the text clearly calls him.

Regardless, I agree Trump is very anti-Christ. Hard to read 1 John 4 and not see almost the opposite of him.

Which ballots are those? You think RFK has any chance of flipping California?? (Or New York for that matter?)

It was literally called "The Last Supper On A Stage On The Seine".

People want to claim the drag performance was making fun of “The Last Supper”

By their own statements, that was their actual intention though.

He's always been the leader. This is just a change in titles to eliminate the vacant lower position.

So, exactly what you get from Amazon?

The CHIPS plants just started being built a few months ago. This is bad for the employees and short-term investors, but long-term Intel will be fine and the plants will be a net positive to the country.

The stock is down 30% so far, so I think you may not understand investors very well haha

I mean, it just comes down to entertainment ability. Some podcasts like Spitballers can talk about random stupid stuff and make it hilarious. Some podcasts just try that and…don't quite pull it off.

This nonsense is about one step away from affecting Invidious too.

 

TL;DR: An Amazon driver wearing mishears an innocuous automated smart door bell response, tells Amazon that homeowner is racist, and Amazon incorrectly bans him from all Amazon products and services.

 

Possibly a stupid question, but how do I add functionality to the back button in Android without reimplementing the back button entirely nowadays?

Prior to last year, I would just call onBackPressed() and then simply override it:

override fun onBackPressed() {
	super.onBackPressed()

	doMyStuff()
}

It looks like this is now deprecated, and it's recommended to use OnBackPressedCallback objects. It's simple enough to replace onBackPressed() with onBackPressedDispatcher.onBackPressed(), but I can't figure out how to recreate the override.

I can replace the functionality easy enough:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
	super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
	…
	onBackPressedDispatcher.addCallback(this, object : OnBackPressedCallback(true) {
		doMyStuff()
	})
}

However, this replaces all back button behavior. It doesn't just add to it, despite the function name. I still want the back button to go back, but don't want to have to try to reinvent the wheel. Is there some equivalent to super.onBackPressed() with this new API or another way to achieve this?

 
 

On the other hand, apparently the Italians loved him:

In Ferrazzano, the village which De Niro's great grandparents left in search of the US dream in the late 19th century, most of its 3,280 residents are among his greatest fans and are adamant that he should be formally made an Italian. He does not officially qualify for a passport because neither his parents nor his grandparents were Italian born.

De Niro was born in New York in 1943, and has never visited the village.

Every August for eight years, the village's now wealthy population of lawyers, doctors and office workers, most of who commute to work in the nearby town of Campobasso, has turned out for a week long festival of De Niro films.

 

The Big Mac index started as a joke, but became a somewhat respectable—if still highly informal—way of measuring Purchasing Power Parity. Argentina took advantage of this by making it really cheap but hiding it so no one would order it, artificially improving the country's score.

 

Hence why they're called tread-"mills"—they were used to power mills to pump water or grind grain.
