net favorability is (depending on pollster) either Strongly Approve - Strongly Disapprove, or (Strongly Approve + Approve) - (Strongly Disapprove + Disapprove)


So it'd make sense for a more niche like Paul to have a high net favorability, because more people would reply "don't know" and thus not make it in to the equation.

Unfortunately even Raphael Lemkin, after coining the term, quickly pivoted to including cultural cleansing or race-based eviction as "genocide".


God forbid we have a word for the uniquely evil act of cēdō-ing a genus!

Christmas trees came about in the 1500s in the Baltics and are decidedly Lutheran in origin. The notion that Christmas is merely a rebranded pagan holiday (Yule or Saturnalia) is anti-Christian propaganda.


Other than Santa Claus*, Reindeer, and Snowflakes, all major Christmas symbols are directly Christian (decorated Christmas trees, Angels, Star of Bethlehem)


*(and even then Saint Nicholas, is obviously, a link to Christianity)

There are legal mechanisms for him to remain POTUS until his death assuming he can win the vote.




By "legal mechanisms", do you mean holding a Amendment Convention to repeal the 22nd Amendment? How on earth would he secure 3/4 of state legislatures and/or state conventions? Seems like an unserious concern to me.

leftists think Democrats are right-wing! To them, anybody who accepts market capitalism is right-wing. They live in such bubbles they think the center should be Eugene Debs.

if it's an overstatement, it's certainly less of an overstatement than the original comment stating we were the preeminent power. Britain and France were superpowers, we were not. We were economically very powerful and a regional power in the Americas and Pacific islands, yes.

The US has been ‘the’ preeminent power since at least 1880




economically, perhaps. but our armed forces (and hence ability to project power) was comically bad until rearmament in the late 30s

it was a hands-off model once initiated, what are you talking about? Yes his punditry (like every other left-of-center media person) was awfully miscalibrated during the primary. but the model only rated Trump higher at the last moment because a combination of factors led to a sizable poll bump in the final two weeks prior to the election

The 10/7 attacks were called "Operation al-Aqsa Flood" by Hamas.

Eh, I agree with /u/gattsuru. "Flood Brooklyn" is an odd turn of phrase unless you're trying to evoke "Operation al-Aqsa Flood"

Italian/Iberian fascism, sure. But Nazi fascism? They were merely being pragmatic about Christianity. Goering, Goebbels, and Himmler hated Christianity. Hitler was more wavering, but Christianity 100% would've been made verboten in a hypothetical Thousand Year Reich eventually.

why on earth do you think she "deserves" to be a Senator. How has she distinguished herself in any way other than the AUMF vote.


Plus she is bizarrely pro-Castro, a liability for the party

Policy TL;DR: Moderators are stupid racists, who have been flagging too many GPT-like posts from Africa and Pakistan. So stop.




There should be a name for the logical response to this phenomenon


If your posts are poorly written and vapid enough to be mistaken for GPT, your posts were never valuable to begin with.


(a la if your essay assignment is so cliche and uncreative that a GPT written essay can get an A, it was never a good assignment to begin with)

Iphone does not have a file system. There's no simple way for apps to share files.




The file sharesheet (allowing transfer between apps but not saving) was introduced in iOS 8 (2014). A bona fide File system was introduced in iOS 11 (2017).


I agree they were a bit late to the party, but only by a couple years. A file system would not have added any functionality until iOS 4 or so (2010)--the earlier versions were too limited (as were iOS's competitors at that time, to be fair).
