Why does bi-weekly mean "every two weeks?" This has always bothered me because intuitively it should mean "twice a week."
It means both. Welcome to English.

Republican senator renews push to make daylight savings permanent
Omg, please for the love of everything, get rid of the time change.
I don't care which way they pick, just get rid of it. It's absolutely useless.

What is this even trying to say? Are they stealing? Are they cheating on a diet? Like, it's be your best, not be perfect at everything. Some days your best is just what it is and some days that's something else.
There's not enough context in this.

/r/AskReddit Comments Per Day, Graphed
Reply in thread
Well, I started just playing more my game backlog on Steam and finding other things to do that wasn't scrolling the interwebs most of the time. I come here, sure, but no where near as much as I did on reddit, and I don't comment here nearly as much as I did there either.

Ah yes, let's start belittling people so that the working class continues to infight. Thank you for your contributions to the rich.

How have they been verifying mailed in tax forms with no pictures for decades?
Seems like it unnecessarily disenfranchises the poor and the elderly. You have to have access to equipment that can record you and the tech savvy to be able to use it.

US men are dying much earlier than women, as death 'gender gap' widens: Study
Reply in thread
Nah, the older men I know either won't go to a doctor because they didn't need them when they were younger, are scared of them, can man up through whatever pain they have, whatever. These are folks with Medicare, so at least access to doctors. These are all married men with kids. They don't go until they're literally forced to and by then, it's already too late and they just die.

Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet
Reply in thread
Do you trust every one-sided story to be entirely accurate of all details?
And what does trust have to do with it? Can we use Ethernet here? If the person says no, would you just walk around the building until you found a port and plugged in?

Nobody says it anymore
I think someone took a dad joke too seriously.

Robert E. Lee statue being melted down; bronze to be re-used for new more inclusive art
Reply in thread
Why? They're a dime a dozen and were put up in the 1900s largely due to the Daughters of the Confederacy and to reinforce Jim Crow laws.
They aren't really worth preserving. A picture can be taken to explain how awful these things are.

Why didn't you tell this librarian that you'd asked another librarian and they said it was okay to plug in? Why was none of this included in the original post?

It's rooted in white supremacy and anti-Semitism. They are the ones breaking the social contract.

What is a nutritious, filling, and easy to eat breakfast for really early in the morning?
Oatmeal. You can customize it to what you need and your tastes. It just needs liquid for the oats and whatever additions you want to do. I use chia seeds and flax seeds for protein & fiber, and add frozen fruit and vanilla soy milk. Microwave and enjoy.
Peanut butter, dried fruit, honey, fresh fruit, etc. are all good choices

How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?
You just take your shoes off at the door and put them back on when you leave.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Sort of. Netscape released the program's source code and Firefox used that as a base, but it wasn't like they took Netscape and just changed the name to Firefox like your comment implies. They were competing browsers for a while.

Where are the good political songs?
Well, NPR did an entire article of 20 protest songs that came out in 2020. Looks like they might have made a Spotify playlist of them at one point too.
Here are 30 protest albums that came out in the first half of 2022
Here are 50 protest songs from 2023.
These are just results from pretty simple Google searches. 'protest songs year'.

'They Want To Be The Gatekeepers': Car Dealers Are Stopping Customers From Buying EVs
Reply in thread
I disagree. If you work at a dealership, you should know everything there is to know about the cars your dealership stocks. I'll give leeway to trade-ins from other car makers, but if you work at a Chevy dealer and you can't tell me about Chevys, you're a bad salesman and you're not going to make commissions.

You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick?

You and I pronounce 'quay' very differently.
