It's not at all like the T sound in Japanese followed by the S sound. The normal T sound in Japanese is pronounced by putting your tongue behind your top teeth and flicking your tongue down a bit. Tsu on the other hand starts with your tongue below your top teeth, and your cheeks pulled together a bit.

It's also nothing like the TS in Mats in english.

When the police show up to investigate your murder, and they ask "Is there anyone who would wish to harm your Husband/Wife?" and your spouse just turns over your entire database of your clients, you're the bad guy/girl.

No shit.

This is literally in the first paragraph of every economics textbook when they talk about tariffs.

I want her to hire an aide to monitor Johnson's bathroom activity, and then intentionally join him in the men's room every single time to make him uncomfortable by grunting away in a stall.

Malicious compliance is the best revenge for this bullshit.

Just to be clear, they had not actually started harvesting anything.

The nurses and doctors noticed as he was wheeled into the operating room and called it off, a bunch of them ended up in therapy over the situation.

Someone fucked up by declaring him brain dead clearly. He does however have significant brain damage from the drug overdose that initiated the whole situation.

This kind of bullshit needs a law to be honest.

Politicians should need direct approval before using copyright music in campaigns.

Just pointing out that Musk is an immigrant.

Born in South Africa, immigrated to Canada to avoid military service, then used Canadian citizenship to apply for and obtain US citizenship.

"no proof of an illicit deal"

The money IS the proof of the illicit deal, they gave him money when there was no legal or reasonable reason to give him money.

"We wanted to just give away money" isn't a legal reason for anyone who isn't recording for a you tube channel at this point.

Fun fact, costed is a word but has a slightly different meaning than the way you have used it.

Costed means to get the details on the cost of something complex. Like "I costed the three projects and the last one is cheapest"

You tried to use it as the past tense of cost, but the past tense of cost is also just cost.

In the United States, parody is protected by the First Amendment as a form of expression.

Screen manufacturers just did a similar thing with the jump from 1080p to 4k

The 1080 part of the original number referred to the number of pixels from top to bottom, 4k refers to left to right. 4k is actually only 2160 from top to bottom though (at the same aspect ratio).

So they quadrupled the number when it should have only doubled, and it was entirely a marketing thing.

The one thing even Americans who have health insurance don't realize about single payer healthcare systems, is that we don't worry about it.

We don't consider it when switching jobs, we don't think about it when we're sick, we don't worry about medical bills.... we just go to the doctor/hospital, and worry about getting better or dealing with the work implications of taking time off.

The weight for that piece simply doesn't rest on our shoulders or minds at all.

You've been tricked and brainwashed you into thinking what you have is normal, and it's disturbing how many of you think it's a reasonable way to continue.

In case anyone was wondering what happened at the grocery stores over the last couple days.

Somewhat clickbait title, it went from 80% to 89% of new unit starts for this one month period compared to last year.

Apartment units have been the majority of new units for more than a decade now.

More technical issues. The ferries are starting to become a real issue here on the island.
