“Considers” ≠ “Counts”

“Tom counts a yellow Corvette among his three sportscars” would be a perfectly natural statement in an article where Corvette ownership is relevant. In this article, parenthood of a transgender child is relevant.

By “illegal,” do you mean the player is not allowed to choose the race for their character? Or do you mean the race is outlawed within the setting, i.e. Orcs would have no legal protections and are persecuted by the law?

Yes, architect is betting much worse

“Spicy” isn’t a taste, it’s just a mildly painful chemical irritation. Spicy substances can hurt many sensitive body parts, including the mouth, nose, eyes, anus, and genitals. It’s nothing to do with tastebuds, more to do with thin unprotected membranes in your body being sensitive to chemicals such as capsaicin or allyl isothiocyanate.

Huh. I’d never heard of jenkem before.

I do remember Myron in Fallout 2 explaining the discovery and production of Jet, though. Gross stuff.

tl;dr

The central bank adjusts interest rates and other aspects of monetary policy in order to meet economic goals. However, there’s always a lag between any adjustment to monetary policy and the desired effect on the economy.

Unemployment and inflation are inversely correlated. The more people that are employed, the faster prices rise, and vice versa.

Right now the Fed is trying to fight out-of-control inflation rates. The methods required to do so will inevitably lead to higher unemployment, and due to the aforementioned lag, there will be a short period of time in which we see higher unemployment and inflation, before we see the desired effect of lowering the inflation rate.

To note, the author expects an unemployment rate of 0.3% above target and describes it as “minor” stagflation.

hmm

Readers added context

The edited video, released by Zelenskyy’s office, gives the impression that Graham made those two remarks uninterrupted and sequentially, when they were actually clipped from different parts of the conversation.

This appears to be the article they were referring to in the video.

Thank you for sharing that article, I wasn’t aware. I need to read some more and re-evaluate my perspective of the current Pope.

Influencer, apparently

Pope Francis abolished the rule of pontifical secrecy that had protected accused child abusers from criminal investigation and has a history of promoting acceptance and inclusion for trans and gay people within the Church.

I don’t agree with organized religion in general, and the Roman Catholic Church is particularly problematic. But as far as popes go, I believe Francis is a good one.

The full article is absolutely heartbreaking to read. I hope the Yang family finds peace and healing.

A constant problem with autotldr is that it uses pronouns which refer to someone who hasn’t been mentioned yet in the abridged article. It makes it look like Biden “has encouraged a growing and well-organized conservative backlash” when that makes no sense. In the original article, “He” actually refers to Donald Trump, but autotldr skipped over the sentence that introduced Trump’s involvement. Similarly, “That finding” does not refer to the major survey mentioned in the previous sentence.

Honestly I hate this bot and I downvote it every time I see it. This sort of thing is easy to catch when it says something wildly out of character like this. But the same thing happens all the time in ways that are not-so-easy to spot, and wildly misleading to readers. And the pronoun thing is one tiny example. This bot might as well be selecting sentences at random, for all the important context it omits.

Just read the original article or skip it. Please don’t rely on a program that butchers the original article for the sake of making it shorter. This is the kind of thing that makes us lazy and vulnerable to misinformation.

Crackers are crisp and brittle by definition. “Floppy Cracker” is an oxymoron (and potentially a good name for a garage band?).

Most participants in this debate are far too preoccupied with the shape or structure of the sandwich, to the point of neglecting what a sandwich is all about. It’s simple. A sandwich is when you use bread as a handheld base for prepared foods that would otherwise be too messy to eat with your fingers. A tortilla is a flat bread, ergo handheld burritos and soft tacos are sandwiches.

“Then why isn’t pizza an open-faced sandwich?” Because pizza has a crust, not bread. When you take raw dough and bake it along with its toppings or fillings, it may be a pie or a pastry or a pizza or a casserole or some other category I don’t care to quibble over. It’s not a sandwich.

Obviously there are many sub-categories of sandwiches. A dish isn’t necessarily excluded from being a sandwich just because it’s also another type of food.

Well it’s a good thing we’re not talking about a human child, we’re talking about a body of text consisting of several distinct documents that were introduced over a span of more than two centuries. Context is tricky, I know.

I just want to point out that the 11th Amendment isn’t included either; just the first 10, according to the article. The original Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It makes the dividing line seem a little less arbitrary that way.

I agree with the points you’ve made, though.

The fact that the sales description lists the Bill of Rights separately from the US Constitution logically implies that “The US Constitution” isn’t meant to include its amendments in the context of the book’s contents.

The writer of the headline wants us to assume that Trump cherry-picked the 13th and 19th amendments to be excluded, when that’s obviously not the case. The 11th through 27th Amendments were all left out.

The only “cherry picking” being done is by the writer of the headline. This Bible doesn’t include Amendments 11 - 27 (everything that came after the Bill of Rights). It’s not advertised to contain those amendments, either. It contains the original Constitution of the United States and it contains the Bill of Rights. The fact that the book description lists the Bill of Rights separately from the US Constitution logically implies that “US Constitution” doesn’t include its amendments in the context of the book’s contents.

The headline suggests that two very specific amendments were omitted in such a way to evoke outrage and paint Trump in a bad light.

I despise Donald Trump and would rather see him in prison than in the White House again, but propaganda is propaganda.
