Tone is nearly always a bullshit argument used to dismiss the content of what’s said without addressing it.

Good communicators don’t worry about it too much because there are lots of reasons someone can take a certain tone - for example if they’re tired or stressed! So they just make sure they understand what the person is conveying without worrying about how it’s conveyed.

Someone who focuses much on tone is likely a poor communicator themselves, or frequently just trying to be manipulative.

While sedation is also accurate, I suspect you meant sedition.

This is Iran. The mini-bombs were in Lebanon.

This is the third group of people Israel is trying to kill in their apparent attempt to start World War III

Is that a pool of blood?

When you inflate a balloon with your breath is it more bouyant?

That is exactly the difference between weight and mass. And yes, that would be weightless and objects like balloons have negative weight until they reach an altitude where they’re neutrally bouyant and then are weightless.

Weight is defined as a force and has a direction. That’s what causes the movement. If the weight didn’t change there would be no movement.

Apparently it’s not just an American thing, but maybe other countries have more sense not to do it anymore.

They’re usually in “high end” restaurants in big cities like Las Vegas. The ones I recall usually have the sinks somewhat separated from the stalls with a partition or turn, but they’re not wholly separate rooms. The motivations are probably more needing money, access to a fancy place, and being an extrovert than perversion - more windshield wiper gig than peeping Tom.

I think it’s a combination of a holdover from another time that maybe was useful when they had an expanded role - they probably actually used to keep the bathroom clean, and some guys will shine shoes etc. - and tip-based service jobs they gave to poor people. I think they do get an hourly rate, but it’s probably below minimum wage for the same reasons waiting tables is.

Bathroom attendants - since people got all the high value stuff.

I don’t mean people that clean the bathroom etc.

I mean the guy that stands at the sink and makes awkward small talk before handing you a towel you could have got yourself and expects a tip.

EDIT: Y’all I’m pretty sure no one’s having sex or shooting up in the bathroom at the fucking Eiffel Tower restaurant in Las Vegas … Coke - probably. I don’t know where anyone else has seen a bathroom attendant, but every place I’ve seen one at I’ve been wearing a suit…

Outdoors are generally not protected by right to privacy, even if on private property.

Someone standing in their own front lawn can be recorded with both video and audio without their consent.

This is what makes it legal to record police.

The problem isn’t just that it will be thrown out in court, it’s that it itself is illegal.

Which doesn’t necessarily mean don’t do it but you’re limited in how you can reveal how you know things are being stolen etc.

Math is hard…

Most countries don’t have more than one shooting a day.

They’ll probably be this take on Gaston.

No you leave it on in the shower.

I’d say it also needs to be entirely optional and be opt-in only. Any service, program, whatever needs to work fully for anyone who doesn’t allow their data to be sold or released with extremely few exceptions.

Russia and the US are involved because the other half of the UNs purpose is to keep them both from nuking shit.

Better solution.

Data are owned by the generator. Only they can sell it etc…

This also solves the privacy problem of law enforcement agencies applying warrants to phone companies etc. for access to your data, which has been an end-run around 4th Amendment rights for decades.

By “recovered” the cops unironically mean the opposite of recovered - as in a non-police person has taken the knife.

I can’t tell from just this article if I should lean more to standard cop butchering of language or intentional deception.

EDIT: Or not? I found another article that says they retracted that statement about recovering the knife - that it was the wrong knife. That definitely doesn’t make me less suspicious…

Someone fucked these up badly and there’s no way to tell from this how.

Are the numbers swapped between candidates but the sizes correct? Are the sizes swapped between candidates and the numbers correct?

As an aside, this is why serious data people don’t use pie charts. They’re terrible for lots of reasons, one being it’s very hard to compare areas instead of lengths, like a bar chart, as demonstrated by how many people didn’t notice these were so bad at first.

If you see data presented in a pie chart you should immediately be suspicious that it’s dishonest or incompetent.

None of that is to take away that voting for third parties this election is a terrible move - just saying this chart is useless.

My Thai girlfriend says penis size doesn’t matter, but I still wish hers wasn’t bigger than mine.
