Original headline captured 3 hours ago:

"J.D. Vance Freaks Out Over the Slightest Pushback in V.P. Debate"
https://web.archive.org/web/20241002034127/https://newrepublic.com/post/186602/jd-vance-vp-debate-fact-check-migrants

How is anyone surprised a weird little freak, was freaking out on the debate stage‽

The are all great, but tawdry is fantastic!

Rolls of the tongue, and we all come across several tawdry things/people in a given day.

If I'm not mistaken, residents can vote in local elections in many places.

I hate that "feature" so much. For a while it has used the speed of other's phones for your ETA. As in, if everyone is doing 10-15 over the speed limit, you're expected to go with the flow.
I don't want a more accurate ETA. I want to arrive when it says I will if I follow all speed limits, and shave off a couple minutes if I am going faster than that.

I didn't go to the dentist for 4 years, moved & Covid & postponing making an appointment 50-100 times. I severely regret not going sooner.

Yes, technically it could have come from anyone.
So let's give the wannabe fascist republicans the benefit of the doubt, because that has historically been a very double plus good idea to do for authoritarians, and only good things will come from doing so...

Just guessing but "everyone is addicted to hookup culture" could come off a bit vaguely incel or the problem is everyone else, nothing wrong with me.
Personally I have several friends & family members, who met their significant other through one "hookup app" or another. Most of them are married and have children nowadays, and are seemingly in very loving and caring relationships.
Don't get me wrong, datings sucks or rather I sucked at it; on top of that the scene could be even worse than it used to be. But you know, Michael Jackson told us all to start by asking the man in the mirror, to make that change.

Doesn't even have to be the case. A 2min task done every (work)day, takes up a bit over 7 hours/year. After 2½ years it will be a benefit to have automated it!

Check if your TV is playing the surround track. Modern TVs are hell-bent on serving you the multi channel audio, regardless of it's being played through the built in stereo only speakers.
Surround is mixed for high dynamic, talking is 'talking volume' and loud shit is indeed loud. In contrast stereo is pretty much normalized, so you can here everything at moderate volume.

Very tough situation, wish I had something helpful to share, but any chance you can nudge them towards well sourced, largely promoting critical thinking, but also entertaining videos?

Likely some form of secure/encrypted phone. There are special versions of phones made, not available to the general public.
