    This is a bit like mark rutte calling Trump “daddy”. It’s completely inconsequential in actual reality but still feels so entirely wrong. And I don’t even know who should be most embarrassed, the bootlickers or Trump for being transparently narcissistic that everyone realizes bootlicking works

    This is not inconsequential at all, it's literally a bribe

          Not sure if you know this but I find it fun to know so I’m going to share.

          In English when deciding whether to use a or an you should look at the start of the following word and if it starts with a vowel sound then use an else use a.

          Examples:

          • An apple
          • An hour (note doesn’t start with a vowel but sounds like a vowel)
          • A goat
          • A criminal offence

          An hour

          Note, this can differ by region. For example, "an historic ..." is common in the UK, whereas it would be "a historic ..." in the US due to accent differences.

                        Oh yes, let me protest this thing that just happened by throwing my Android-OS phone that I bought years ago away. That'll show 'em.

                        You're just as disingenuous and stupid as the morons on the right who smashed their Keurigs.

                        FYI, my next phone will probably be a Linux phone anyway and I hardly use YouTube at all these days, and when I do it's with AdBlockers on, and I never gave a cent to them for premium, so I cost them money to use their platform if anything. If PeerTube or some other non-Google video hosting service could go mainstream, I'd use that in a heartbeat. I've de-Googled my life as much as I could reasonably be expected to, and this was before their CEO kissed the ring. So fuck off with your judgemental attitude.

                          No, I mean brass: "figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness." (DEFINED)

                          Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as "self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way"). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!

                            Didn’t you watch the video? They turned a gold bar into a “stand.” Truly revolutionary, Tim apple.

                              The same loophole exists almost anywhere: "its a gift to white house or trumps library"

                              A gold bar gifted to an institution would still count as corruption in most sane jurisdictions. Sure those loopholes exist, but we tend to disguise them as investments or charity.

                                  Tim Apple is gay... I'm not aware of any reports of Epstein trafficking boys, but it would not be at all surprising.

                                  To be completely honest, I had forgotten. His sexuality really makes no difference to me. It's just sad to see so many folks sucking up to Trump.

                                  And no I wouldn't be surprised, while true Epstein didn't traffick boys, I would be surprised if he didn't have some connections to that.
                                  Again nothing on Tim's preference for male or female or whatever he likes...but god it seems rich folks can't help but be into horrible things.

                                          Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.

                                          But Apple cares about children. They were the first to run CSAM scans on their cloud storage and devices.
