Thanks, I'd never heard that term before and was very confused

Jesus, I had to go into the article to figure out what you were talking about and it's so pathetic.

But investigators later concluded Greene had staged the attack, alleging she paid a body modification artist earlier to make it look like she was injured. Officers also found zip ties in Greene’s vehicle similar to those used on her, and the co-conspirator’s phone had been used two days earlier to search “zip ties near me."

That's the entire point of voting in a two party system

You're correct. It's super annoying when articles take quotes out of context to create a narrative. You get into a debate with someone else, reference the article, then look dumb when they point out that's not what was actually implied.

Here's his exact quote:

“All we want is voter ID, you go to a grocery store, you have to give ID, you go to a gas station, you give ID, but for voting, they want no voter ID. It’s only for one reason, and it’s because they cheat. We would pass that in 15 minutes,” Trump ranted, seeming to slur his words at times. “If you don’t get it, you’ll never pass that. You’ll never talk about mail-in ballots. Mail-in ballots make it automatically corrupt.”

It's pretty clear he's talking about having to use your ID when required at grocery stores and gas stations, i.e. to buy tobacco and alcohol.

Yes you can interpret it as him saying that he's going to require an id to buy groceries and gas but that requires a ton of mental gymnastics. Trump doesn't need fake narratives to sound like a fascist, there's plenty of actual examples to pick from, but this ain't it. The fact that he's trying to get rid of mail in voting is already insane enough

I had no idea until I read Katy's comment, it's a game changer

Holy crap that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!

I did this as well but the other accounts get ads because the premium only applies to my first account. Terrible user experience and Google go hand in hand

It really is wild how a company can be so massive yet unable to do basic UI. I got a notification that someone replied to a YouTube comment I made so I clicked the notification and it opened up YouTube's landing page. I tried to find notifications and couldn't so instead I tried to find a page that has my comment history.

I had to look it up and apparently you can't even find it on YouTube, you have to go to a separate website, my activity.google.com.

I wish there was a feature like this on YouTube. I'd love a profile for watching educational videos, a profile for feeding me cool videos when I'm high, and a profile for when my kids want to watch stuff. I'm tired of vibing and listening to music videos only to get hit with a language learning podcast or Disney songs.

It's insane that they have an incognito mode that still serves up ads even though I have premium.

TL;DW: keep listening to Japanese media for a couple of hours a day. Watch anime in Japanese with no subs, listen to Japanese podcasts or audiobooks in Japanese while you're working or doing something else, etc. Try to find something you know a bit about because it will help keep you engaged and help with context.

There's a chapter about tolerating ambiguity which means they in the beginning you won't understand anything and it will be very frustrating but you need to accept it and keep feeding your brain Japanese inputs. You'll learn the sentence structure and vocabulary as well as learning pronunciation, this is basically how babies learn. You're brain is really good at pattern recognition so just give it enough inputs and eventually it will start to click

Start doing Anki cards which will supplement all the inputs. Don't go overboard, just learn the alphabets and then some common vocab and keep listening to other media. After about a year, start reading and writing a lot. Read manga, read books, and start writing notes and stuff in Japanese.

That's basically it. You can use study materials if you want but feeding your brain more inputs is key. In addition to being really effective it has the benefit of being way more fun than studying grammar and whatnot

That sounds like complete damage control lies. Why would the AI think the chef had finished prepping the sauce just because there was heavy usage??
