TYL that “centrist” is short for “self-centered.”

It depends on the exact context, but:

“Trivial” usually means “not important.” For example, a person gets an echocardiogram and the cardiologist reports “trivial regurgitation,” it means the valve is leaking so little that it’s not worth worrying about.

“Naive” means not having experienced that thing. For example, in pain management, there is a distinction between “opioid naive” people, who have not previously had opioids, vs. “opioid tolerant” who have taken opioids long enough that the effects are lower on them. The tolerant group can take higher doses that might put the naive group at risk of death.

Is that JD Vance and his new couch?

The story gets less and less happy as it goes. Particularly the part where she insisted the embryo only go to a white Christian family.

Oh hell yeah. Start pumping them out after 70 years so they can collect Social Security from birth.

If she makes a plea deal in exchange for names she might name him. If he pardons her she won’t.

16 year olds working isn’t that unusual, though it depends on what exactly they had her doing at the spa. If it was stocking shelves, ok, but if it was giving “massages,” it gets creepy fast.

It is telling that his best friend sold a teen girl to be sex trafficked, and Trump was annoyed because he lost an employee and didn’t feel at all compelled to report the whole sex trafficking teens thing.

You can’t draw any conclusions from someone who’s lost to follow-up. This article suggesting the people lost to follow-up have higher regret rates is almost as bad as the original paper assuming that those recruited for the regret study represented the full number of regretters.

Trump is viewed favorably by 45% and unfavorably by 52%, while Republicans are viewed favorably by 43% and unfavorably by 54%.

That’s status quo for any Trump related poll. His supporters always push results in the 45-47% range.

So nothing’s changed with Trump, it’s literally just the Democrats who shit the bed.

Kids traumatized by school shootings express themselves via media that others find distasteful? Straight to jail.

Overabundance of guns makes the US the only major country in the world where school gun violence is a daily occurrence? “Thoughts and prayers…”

The heart was going “kethumpathumpadump,” the doctor put a finger up the guy’s butt, and then his heart reset to a normal “lub dub, lub dub.”

4 years after he’s safely out of office, at which point they’ll blame the Democrats.
