Exactly my thought. For the same reason they've been arresting people at the border trying to enter the US instead of just turning them away, I expect they'll arrest anyone they seem "illegal" trying to exit the country: The prison industrial complex.

They're going to get rich off of imprisoning people and forcing them into slave labor and internment camps.

Yep. Biden will go down as the second worst president in US history because he paved the way for the worst. It's a shame, since he did some good things while in office, but you can't just shake off the shit from the bottom of your shoe when you dove into it face-first.

I would also accept painfully and televised.

Please protect your elbows while you're putting us in our place. I recommend elbow pads:

He's one of the few people I genuinely wish would get so depressed they off themselves. Preferably soon.

plastic surgery, veneers, and injectables like Botox and fillers

That sounds an awful lot like gender-affirming care. Guess they aren't real women/men.

/s (except for the fact that I don't think they're even really human anymore, but that has nothing to do with the care they received and everything to do with the shit they spew)

You must not be American; we can only do one thing at a time.

Unless it's just ruining everything; we count that as one thing, even if it's not.

I meant vosotros, yes, thank you! Sorry, it's been over two decades since I was in Spanish class; I mixed vos and vosotros up.

If you'd only said it three times, you would've summoned him. So close!

Literally the second sentence of the article body. 😮‍💨

Maybe it's because I'm from California, but we learned Mexico-Spanish. The books included Spain-Spanish (i.e. vos conjugations), but my teachers never included it in our lessons.

Hi all,

I have backups turned off everywhere I can find the ability to do so on my pixel 8 pro, but am regularly (multiple times per week) getting notifications that my Google storage is almost full. Lo and behold, every time I check drive, I suddenly have a backup that I have to delete, again and again. Does anyone have any tips? It's really making me regret getting a Google phone, since I don't need my phone connected to my email.

Thanks in advance! :)

 

What are some (non-English) idioms, and what do they mean (both literally and in context)? Odd ones, your favorite ones - any and all are welcome. :)

For example, in English I might call someone a "good egg," meaning they're a nice person. Or, if it's raining heavily, I might say "it's raining cats and dogs."

 

I'm upgrading because my phone is losing (lost?) support. I use a OnePlus 7 Pro and love it and wouldn't bother upgrading otherwise. I'd appreciate some recommendations of android phones you like, please.

Thank you in advance! (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)
