I just fucking love little bites of information shared in meme form out of context. Really gives a good enough picture for judgement, right?

Here's the article that probably prompted this: https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/07/21/barack-obama-gay-college-professor/

If you read it through, the message is just a bit different from the sentence in this image.

This is a man who didn't believe Lesotho was a real country. Odds are someone suggested this place and he thought it was a "wink wink nudge nudge" way of saying they're going to disappear these people.

Ok, then what are these screens on my pixel 6 pro?

I do not have the Gemini app itself installed, but there's some functionality of it right there.

Check again. If you've got a pixel, you might have to go into your apps and use the search function to find it. It installs and hides itself as of some recent update.

I think with Crunchyroll as a paid service, people were just disappointed before in the mediocre subs they were getting. To find out it's not even done by people paid to do the translation is just another slap in the face.

Now, a good translation is much more than rote drudge work. It requires understanding of nuance and cultural differences. There are different schools of thought in how literal or interpretive the translation should be. It's very much an art form and should be respected as such.

Every time I read it, I just see it like the momentary pauses that President Obama made in his speeches. Makes it a little more interesting.

A lot of the more popular ones, okcupid included, all got bought up by Match Group and almost immediately started trending anti-consumer in their updates or removal of features. They want you paying, they don't give a shit about success.

The problem with calling it a lie is it indicates an intent to deceive. Regardless of how true that is, it probably opens them up to lawsuits (or they'd be afraid of that happening). They could probably get away with calling them falsehoods but I'm not sure what the difference would really be between that and the way they already wrote things.

I always think of the song from Portlandia whenever someone brings up the 90s: https://youtu.be/U4hShMEk1Ew

Although, from what I've heard, tech bros migrated from the Bay Area to Portland and have radically changed its culture for the worse.

There are still a couple satellites operated by Canada and the EU that provide hurricane data to the US...until something fucks that up too, I guess.

Lead might also be the lead of our time again, if the reports about lead being in disposable vape pens are true.

I mean, yeah, kinda. They wrote it in an attempt at having language that doesn't influence the respondent, but you've got the idea. It's more about the respondent's opinion, not necessarily the reality of a president bound by laws.

It's a topic that has been discussed in the news elsewhere, usually with the quote from Andrew Jackson, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"

The people who said no would probably love for Trump to have a similar quote.
