Lol, what a ridiculous take. He'd have been locked up if he did that in a movie theater, let alone at the State of the Union address.

Maybe just accept it as shorthand for what it really means.

Some examples:

We say Kleenex instead of facial tissue, Band-Aid instead of bandage, I say that Siri butchered my "ducking" text again when I know autocorrect is technically separate.

We also say, "hang up on someone" when there is no such thing anymore

Hell, we say "cloud" when we really mean "someone's server farm"

Don't get me started on "software as a service" too ...a bullshit fancy name for a subscription website that actually has some utility.

Kinda glad I never liked her now. She was extremely shitty to some kids that came in talking about climate change to her and then she should've retired decades ago to make room for somebody younger and more progressive. I always viewed her as an extreme narcissist.

Same. Used it a few times in the months since the API stuff to research some obscure shit but I have no account there now.

The sad reality of the name of the newspaper being so true. This is Mississippi today. Not 400 years ago, or 60...today.

The dress was black and blue either way.

User name checks out. I scrolled all the way down to make sure I can say this and still be original in this particular instance only.

I've watched one of their videos before on why all of Israel rightfully belonged to the Jews and almost had to vomit that they deign to call themselves a university at all.

We never nuked the Nazis...But even if we did, are you saying that the Nazis being Nazis would've justified vaporizing every civilian man, woman, and child in a city or two?

Whether or not you'd say it was justified is a different beast altogether than having to be the one that made it possible in terms of responsibility.

Tangentially, many firing squads will have only one person have a real bullet(s) while the rest have blanks so that they don't all have to feel responsible for ending a life. Even that is setting justification aside.

Been saying it for a while, but his plan was to run it into the ground all along. Who is he buddy-buddy with in public? The Saudi's and the Russians, who both have an interest in seeing Twitter burn to the ground. He started by laying off people, not paying their bills, and making stupid brand decisions. This has been the plan all along and there's really no other logical explanation. 44 billion is nothing to the Saudis and Russian oligarchs if it takes away a key tool for organized dissent and the spread of western ideals.
