(There are 2 Gs in the word "gigantic")

Obviously it's pronounced the same as the the "g" in "gigantic"

Wow. The argument against trans women in sports is already unscientific enough. Why is chess even split into gendered categories? This just makes zero sense.

The incumbent president always runs.

Not always. Yes, usually, but definitely not always. See, for example, in the last 100 years:

  • Johnson in 1968 (he knew he had no chance against RFK and had alienated a lot of the base with the escalation of the war in Vietnam)

  • Truman in 1952 (low polling because of the war in Korea and other domestic issues)

  • Coolidge in 1928 ("The Presidential office takes a heavy toll of those who occupy it and those who are dear to them. While we should not refuse to spend and be spent in the service of our country, it is hazardous to attempt what we feel is beyond our strength to accomplish.")

Granted, all three of these men served more than one full term in office because they each had taken over after the previous president had died, but each had the ability to run for an additional term and chose not to. Anyway, it is no more true that the incumbent president always runs than it is true that the VP always runs for the presidency at the conclusion of that term.

What other orientation could he possibly put it in? The dude rolled a nat 20. If he can't get it to fit after a roll like that, then there's really no hope.

I'm upvoting, not because I agree, but because this is probably the least popular opinion on this thread, and I commend you for taking such a stance.

I think this is the best explanation I've ever seen to the reapond to the vertical video complaint. Thank you!

Just to be clear, examples from outside the UK are ok?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think they are both good examples. Cruz is the example I specifically think of, but that doesn't make good bad!

 

Would it be possible, in the formatting bar below the text boxes, to have a button that will automatically create a link to an instance or communities? (And usernames now that I think about it?) I keep forgetting and having to look up the exact formatting for each of them. Thank you!

Because a coo sticks.

 

Sonic's complaint form has the "go back" and "submit" buttons reversed from typical so people accidentally delete their complaint and have to decide whether to fill the form out again or just forget it.
