Turning it over does nothing particularly special other than looking at the image upside down. There’s no second image. If you turned the image upside down you got got for trusting OP.

You play your game bro, you play your meta ass cheap way!

I once won a RPS tournament with 100 people by throwing nothing but paper, and making sure to tell each opponent that’s what i was going to do. I’m convinced people think paper is somehow weaker than rock or scissors and that’s why it’s effective. That and the mind game of telling them what I’ll be throwing. But even when the others that lost to me affirmed that I wasn’t lying people thought I was lying.

DeSantis rocked by Black Republican revolt over slavery comments

Several told POLITICO they fear the issue will play into Democrats’ characterization of Republicans as favoring a whitewashing of American history.

lmao. calling it a 'characterization' like it's not true

Many Black Republicans find themselves in a quandary: on the one hand having to push back on perceptions that slavery has positive attributes, but also fighting the perception that if they voice criticism, it leads to questions of whether they are sufficiently conservative.

Harrison Fields, Donalds’ spokesperson, captured this in a tweet. “If you condemn CRT & refuse to support BLM, black Republicans are called a coon, sellouts, & Uncle Clarence. If you vocalize minor distaste with a sentence in a curriculum that lauds skills developed by slaves during slavery, black Republicans are called Democrats and frauds,” he said.

i don't understand how they can understand this but not the fact that their political affiliation is a cult.

Over 230 people get puzzling neurological disorder in Peru; emergency declared

The cases are widely distributed throughout the country, with 20 of the country's 24 governmental regions (departments) reporting at least one case. Seven departments have reported high numbers—including Lima, at the central coast, to Piura and Lambayeque in the far north, and Cusco, which is southeast of Lima. But no other countries in the Americas report an uptick in GBS cases.

The cause of the outbreak is puzzling—even though this isn't Peru's first alarming GBS outbreak. In 2019, the country reported an unprecedented surge of nearly 700 cases between May and July, bringing the total to over 900. Before that, a large GBS outbreak was considered between 30 to 50 cases.

Seems like this might be a sanitation issue? Especially if it’s a repeating issue like they describe.

Not sure why you were downvoted, but this is always how I saw it. Jenny wasn’t the terrible person she’s so often been made out to be, she was deeply broken and dealing with massive trauma, of course she’s going to act irrationally.

She’s an amazing character with so much depth that most people just reduce to ‘that selfish bitch’. It irks me.

There’s also the fact that remote start, while shorter range, has existed on key fobs for like 20 years. My ex wife’s 2022 Hyundai has remote start, but only through the app, while my 2013 Focus has it on the key fob.

That’s honestly the only feature that’s bundled in those subscriptions that I really want, though the alarm notification is a nice to have.

I gotta say, this is a very different from what I’m used to comment section. I really expected to come in and see a huge amount of anti-Mac sentiment but instead just see a bunch of troubleshooting. Granted OP didn’t ask for help and was clearly hoping to just shit on MacBooks (I’ve never had this problem with any of mine btw, this looks like a bug or fringe case) but folks just wanna be helpful and OP is all mAcS aMiRiTe?
