Sorry, if you sell your project to a data collection firm you have already lost the plot anyways. These companies care only about one thing, and it's not "making a quality app".

Was this meme part of a contest to see how destroyed you can make a meme by JPEG compression artifacts? I've seen clearer images looking through a windshield smeared in vaseline on a cloudy day.

That AI is going to be copying a lot of "I put on my robe and wizard hat"

Looks like Sleepy Don has done it again. What happened to better economy on Day 1? Is he going to say the days so far don't count? Let's hear some more excuses about how Biden made the job so hard you can't improve things by 1%. You only need to make excuses for a little less than 4 years now.

You know what might have been a clue? The past!

  • March 2017: Proposed $5.8 billion (18%) cut to NIH funding, targeting cancer research indirectly.
  • February 2018: Proposed eliminating the John S. McCain Childhood Cancer Foundation.
  • June 2019: Revoked the Clean Power Plan, weakening air pollution controls linked to lung cancer prevention.
  • 2018: Delayed asbestos bans under the Toxic Substances Control Act, linked to cancer risks.
  • 2017-2019: Repeated attempts to repeal the ACA, threatening free cancer screenings like mammograms.
  • February 2020: Proposed $3 billion cut to NIH in the 2021 budget, while increasing defense spending.
  • July 2019: Reversed proposed bans on flavored e-cigarettes, undermining tobacco-use prevention.

If people are surprised, it's because they aren't paying attention, or they just think Trump is BASED until the ramifications show up at their doorstep.

Clickbait alert!! The actual quote was: "Delay, deny, depose. You people are next,". She's not in trouble for the delay, deny, depose... she's in trouble for the second bit (which is a threat).

Look, I have SIX perfectly fine dildos, all in their individual velvet pouches. My grandma even gives me a knowing wink when she sees them on my nightstand (she's very with-it, my grandma). But the minute I walk into Walmart and snag NUMBER SEVEN - BAM! 💥 The world implodes. Little Timmy starts twerking in the cereal aisle, the self-checkout beeps incessantly with unholy vibrations, and a rogue bag of gummy worms spontaneously transforms into a life-size silicone replica of the Lone Star State... it's CHAOS, I tell ya! This clearly-reasonable six-dildo limit is PROTECTING our precious Texas innocence. Seven just unleashes the primal urges, and nobody wants that, especially not while picking out a new can of Copenhagen. 🤠

This is one of the reasons I hate talking in abstracts. I hear people talking about landslides, but what does that mean numerically? If there was a vote with a pool of 10 people and a candidate got 6 of those is that a landslide? Is 9/10 a landslide?

Some people talk "landslide" but without knowing what that means, it makes it hard to have a conversation.

I don't care what Rick Desantis says. It's my right as an American to enjoy Soylent Green.

Before starting a war, ask yourself what victory would look like. It appears here that the goal is wiping Gaza entirely and anything short of that will be construed as a loss.

This is going to make Republicans seethe and will remind them of the mail-in ballots. I'm sure there will be talk of fakery, no matter who collected the data.

Trump ahead: of course! Biden ahead: FAKE NEWS

In the year 2057, human civilization had made significant strides in technological advancements that transformed their way of living. Computers were no longer just machines but extensions of one's mind, and programming languages became a fundamental part of society. A prominent figure within this world was Vincent, a passionate programmer who swore by his beloved text editor Vi.

Meanwhile, in another galaxy far away, an advanced alien race called Zorblaxx, discovered Earth during a cosmic journey. With their keen interest in studying intelligent life forms, they intercepted a data stream containing the source code for Emacs. They immediately fell in love with its simplicity and user-friendliness. From that point onwards, the entire Zorblaxx race began using it as their primary tool for coding.

The first contact between humans and Zorblaxx occurred when a spaceship piloted by a group of fearless astronauts encountered a fleet of alien vessels. The initial meeting was cordial, and both species shared their knowledge of the cosmos. However, when humans revealed they used Vi, the Zorblaxx responded with disdain. They claimed that the Vi editor lacked the basic functionality that Emacs provided.

This dispute grew beyond petty differences over software preference. Debates erupted amongst developers worldwide. Some advocated for Vi's efficiency while others preached the power of Emacs. Passions ran high, turning what could have been a friendly argument into a worldwide conflict.

Political leaders took notice and saw an opportunity to rally support for their respective countries. With the rise of nationalistic sentiments, humanity split into two factions: Team Vi and Team Emacs. Nations aligned themselves, and soon war broke out.

As the violence escalated, Vincent knew there had to be another way. He realized that both sides had something valuable to offer one another, and that a healthy collaboration would lead to better results. He developed a new text editor called Vim, combining the best features of both Vi and Emacs.

With Vim demonstrating the benefits of unity, both human factions united, joining forces against the invading Zorblaxx. In this unforeseen twist, the two races found themselves fighting side by side, bonding through their love for programming and shared vision for progress.

The battle raged on for months, but in the end, humanity emerged victorious. Faced with a common enemy, they learned to embrace diversity and to see past their differences. The same spirit was adopted by the Zorblaxx race, leading them to adopt Vim as their primary editor. A new era of peace and cooperation began between the two civilizations, now connected by technology and their mutual passion for programming.
