I think with Crunchyroll as a paid service, people were just disappointed before in the mediocre subs they were getting. To find out it's not even done by people paid to do the translation is just another slap in the face.

Now, a good translation is much more than rote drudge work. It requires understanding of nuance and cultural differences. There are different schools of thought in how literal or interpretive the translation should be. It's very much an art form and should be respected as such.

Every time I read it, I just see it like the momentary pauses that President Obama made in his speeches. Makes it a little more interesting.

A lot of the more popular ones, okcupid included, all got bought up by Match Group and almost immediately started trending anti-consumer in their updates or removal of features. They want you paying, they don't give a shit about success.

The problem with calling it a lie is it indicates an intent to deceive. Regardless of how true that is, it probably opens them up to lawsuits (or they'd be afraid of that happening). They could probably get away with calling them falsehoods but I'm not sure what the difference would really be between that and the way they already wrote things.

I always think of the song from Portlandia whenever someone brings up the 90s: https://youtu.be/U4hShMEk1Ew

Although, from what I've heard, tech bros migrated from the Bay Area to Portland and have radically changed its culture for the worse.

There are still a couple satellites operated by Canada and the EU that provide hurricane data to the US...until something fucks that up too, I guess.

Lead might also be the lead of our time again, if the reports about lead being in disposable vape pens are true.

I mean, yeah, kinda. They wrote it in an attempt at having language that doesn't influence the respondent, but you've got the idea. It's more about the respondent's opinion, not necessarily the reality of a president bound by laws.

It's a topic that has been discussed in the news elsewhere, usually with the quote from Andrew Jackson, "John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"

The people who said no would probably love for Trump to have a similar quote.

Except that isn't how the question was worded...

As you may know, a number of Trump administration actions have been challenged in the United States federal court. If a federal court rules that a Trump administration action is illegal, do you think the administration:

Has to follow the court's ruling and stop its action. (81)

Doesn't have to follow the court's ruling and can continue its action. (19)

I bolded some words for emphasis here, the question is not whether he should but whether they think he has to. Important difference.

The person doing the spraying knows it's just a water pistol. The person being sprayed has just been exposed to an unknown liquid by an unknown person. Considering this is also how acid attacks work, it's not really that cool of a thing to do to people.

It took me a while to find, but stuff like this research from Yale, reviving organs and brain function long after the point of death, makes it apparent that what it means to die is just as complex a question as what makes us us.

Tbh I'm a little surprised he didn't say it was 88%
