Not sure why everybody needs a copy of my, I mean, somebody's porn passport.

There is no Leftist party active in Congress.

So, when you read/hear some USA politician being called "on the left" it should be taken as literally as possible. They are literally standing just to the left of whatever they are being compared to.

So a person who says, "Hey, shouldn't we all have healthcare that you don't have to pay out of pocket for?" is to the left of "If you can't pay, just die." and will be considered "left". Even if the person wanting everybody to get healthcare is fully on board with "The Global War On Terrorism."

Its probably best to view somebody's opinion/action on an individual issue as being labeled "left" and not the person themself. Even when a person in the USA is describing somebody else in the USA as "of the left."

This was wild to watch.

I haven't seen this movie in so long that I need to watch it again.

Yeah... who woulda thunk it, not building things to code causes problems down the line? Not my in-laws that's for sure!

Well that sounds about right... sighs

Not that I have any links to share but any sources that explain how to properly use some more specialized tools/equipment, when they should be used, when they shouldn't be used could fall under the category of "working safely."

As an example:

I found that the little "non contact electrical current" tester pen that I bought recently and have been trying to use to do home repairs has some caveats about when it will give a false negative. I had skimmed dozens of "how-to's" and only a few of them mentioned that using this tool to check electrical outlets won't work if the outlets aren't properly grounded (I live in a shitty shitty house, a chunk of the problems wind up being things not done properly). And I think the same thing might apply to checking Romex cables but I haven't spent the time to try to find out for sure.

Cool!

So you're telling me that what I understand from reading the article is incorrect? Because my comment was based completely on what I read from the article.

Maybe my comment was poorly constructed. From reading the article, should my takeaway have been that the current use of the reference to the Yihetuan by the online trolls seems to be purely reactionary and not historical?

You and your correct predictions... smdh

Axelrod predicted that Biden wouldn’t be inclined to leave the race, noting that “this is a guy with a lot of pride ... who believes in himself.”

Just pulling another Ruth Bader Ginsburg and making it all about themselves, Democratic party stay winning.

There has been a wave of online Chinese ultranationalism directed at Japan in recent years amid rising tensions between the two countries, especially over Tokyo’s support for Taiwan and territorial disputes in the East China Sea.

Some posts urged Chinese to “go against the Japanese and eliminate traitors” while calling to establish a “modern-day Yihetuan”, it said in a statement on Saturday night.

Yihetuan, also known as the “Boxers” from the martial arts they practised, were a Chinese nationalist secret society during the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) that supported imperial power and resisted Westernisation. Their slogan was “Support the Qing, destroy the foreigners”. The movement later led to the failed 1899-1901 Boxer Rebellion against Western and Japanese powers in northern China.

A right wing nationalist movement of the past that supported a monarchy being referenced by a small number of online trolls doing asshole things. Definitely not to be confused with general opinions of the greater Chinese population.

The measures were in line with the response from Beijing. In a commentary on Friday evening, Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily said that “Chinese people have the same standards on right and wrong”.

Probably an unnecessary use of the word "mouthpiece." At least for this situation, there's no need to give the negative connotation to the target audience of English native readers.
