I did this while it was a pilot program. Extremely easy and the fastest processing I’ve ever had on a passport renewal.

Ah, that makes sense. Didn’t see it because it was a crosspost and my client (Voyager) left that out of the description.

The source for the bot’s info is Media Bias Fact Check, which is separate from Ground News. The admins added the Ground News link because users wanted additional sources and mentioned that one I believe.

I think the bigger question is why it bothered with Internet Archive, since that wasn’t mentioned in the original post, or did I miss something?

Interesting take. I look at it as less “anti-medieval” and more anti-government. Gygax was a libertarian and it grew out of wargaming. Gygax just wanted a world where he could fight dragons and didn’t bother to do the world building of an economic or political system. I think this was more out of disinterest in the topics rather than as a political stance.

“Please do not link to this draft as it is unfinished and the URL will change upon publication.”

This is still in draft, unfinished, and they specifically asked people not link to it yet. Probably better to wait until the report is final

Odd then that they’re using Rule 5 bans on people like me who never posted to their community

Ah, this explains it! Saw I was banned from a community that I’d never posted in and evidently one of the mods is a wanker. Mystery solved :)

FTA:

The hearing aid feature is currently making its way through the FDA and other regulatory bodies.

They’re not just winging it and pretending it’s good enough

Username …doesn’t check out

I mean, kinda yeah?

Why does that sound like the voice of experience?

From the article I linked with the item in the context of other finds at the same site…

Evidently it really was probably a cucumber? http://artisticlicenseorwhyitrustnoone.blogspot.com/2022/11/bullshit-memes-8-ancient-egyptian.html?m=1

tl;dr - was found with other model food, probably meant to sustain someone in the afterlife

I’ve had FIOS for more than a decade. Service has been pretty much close to flawless. YMMV

For various reasons, I’ve gone to political rallies for a good portion of my life. They can be really fun or incredibly boring. There’s a sense of community you get at a concert or church service, and at the good ones, it can be quite a charge to be sharing the moment with others. At the bad ones, it can seem shrill or too amped or on the opposite side being dull as dishwater.

tl;dr - basically like a school pep rally for adults, but without the drawback of being required

Or people without any media literacy are more likely to vote for conservatives…

Not really sure your premise holds. I mean, sure a bunch of tradwives and their husbands might get upset when a woman declines to have kids, but in general I don’t think most people care. I’ve got kids but most of my friends don’t and I can’t imagine anyone caring one way or another.

“it says in KAOS he’s only in one episode”

Define “it” in this phrase, because he’s in every episode?

That’s because the President can’t ban it if they wanted to. From this very article:

While there are several ways Harris, if elected president, could halt fracking on federal lands using executive power, she wouldn’t be able to unilaterally ban it on private land. Under a 2005 law, the Environmental Protection Agency has almost no regulatory power over fracking. Changing that would require an act of Congress.
