Yep. Last time I heard this joke, it was about a Jewish owner and an antisemite buying the drinks. And I think you're spot on with #3.

Ah, there's the issue. He never does anything in good faith.

Except maybe kiss himself in the mirror, not sure.

Except for the fact that I can't stand him and don't want to look at him ever, I really like this. I'm having some weird cognitive dissonance because it's both really satisfying for my brain when I look at it but also disgusting.

What? Nooooooooo! SU is one of my comfort shows.

Yeah, agreed. I don't have a viable solution (I wish I controlled my various government representatives, but alas!), but even perfect solutions would be ruined by people. People are why we can't have nice things. :(

(Really hoping this doesn't post multiple times. Seems I'm having some internet issues.)

This isn't really a gotcha question. The answer is yes.

I have no issues with my politicians protecting people from being bombed. I'd love it if we'd also protect Ukraine with such vigor.

What I do have a problem with is when they provide the weaponry needed to commit genocidal actions and effectively encourage said usage by refusing to apply any sort of oversight.

Protecting Israel, or any other country from violence should be considered a good thing. Causing violence to Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, wherever, should not.

I definitely know this one, but want to give others a chance, so I'm just going to say:

Only I may dance.

I honestly can't tell when things like this are actual quotes from him or just people making fun of him. It's absurd that he has so much power.

And also Walz doesn't need to be wasting all of his allotted time fact checking an admitted liar. Not a ton of actual "News" in this article, but several of the referenced comments were funny/made good points like that.

Hi all,

I have backups turned off everywhere I can find the ability to do so on my pixel 8 pro, but am regularly (multiple times per week) getting notifications that my Google storage is almost full. Lo and behold, every time I check drive, I suddenly have a backup that I have to delete, again and again. Does anyone have any tips? It's really making me regret getting a Google phone, since I don't need my phone connected to my email.

Thanks in advance! :)

What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a "good egg," meaning they're a nice person. Or, if it's raining heavily, I might say "it's raining cats and dogs."

I'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
