That is a US versus UK difference! In UK English it is simply a synonym for a program or policy, whereas in US English it implies something negative, often underhanded!

For instance:

🇺🇸 The scammers were running a scheme to trick people.

🇺🇸 Some consider cryptocurrency to be a scheme where one sells, leaving others holding the bag.

🇬🇧 Paying into the national pension scheme ensures you’ll receive a payment upon retirement.

🇬🇧 The company has introduced a new scheme allowing employees to work from home.

Not that this justifies the response of the US, but the phrasing is ambiguous. Wonder if they mean this in the sense of, they had booked accommodations for some but not the entire of their trip, or if they mean, they had booked none at all so their entire trip was open.

Still doing everything they can to lose. Nice.

Bold of you to assume that has any correlation. He’ll still throw his own sycophants under the bus.

Sorry if a dumb question but what is a “tradwife”? (Not a native speaker)

Wow, I just looked him up on Wikipedia and you’re right. It’s way more than just producing a sitcom episode. Dude is legit on a crusade.

Well, that’s what I mean by “not really”, as opposed to “not at all”. It’s a single as placement - searching in the App Store. One result. No user data. That’s it.

They used to have a real advertising business but shut it down some years ago, it was called iAd.

Although the overwhelming majority of American wine comes from the three deep blue west coast states, so probably not these farmers in particular.

Apple doesn’t really have an advertising business. You can criticize them for many things, but it’s hard to fault them for a market they don’t operate in.

I would be interested to hear trans’ users opinions on whether they view themselves and/or prefer to be treated as literally the same as the other biological gender, or something different.

E.g., male-to-female trans folks, do you hold that there is only one kind of woman and you are no different from those born as women?

Or do you think that transgender people have a fundamentally different experience, and thus trans women are a little different category of women?

I don’t mean any offense by the question, I’d really just like to know how people see themselves.
