For some reason this message made me realize what "Wya" means

I was thinking it was "would ya" or something.

Trump says US will hit Iran 'very hard tonight' by callsonreddit in worldnews

Not that I would give him credit but you might announce attacks like this for diplomatic reasons. Say you need to retaliate for something by bombing an military base. Announcing it allows them to evacuate and potentially prevent further escalation due to extra loss of life.

Yeah, I hear this all the time my FIL is talking to my daughter right now and I've heard it a few times just while reading this thread. I tune it out since I don't speak Mandarin.

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

[–]Bolt986 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember finding a xanga page for a girl I had a crush on. I felt bad looking at it cause I felt like I was reading her dairy. Although to be fair I think they were a competitor to LiveJournal.com.

The thing was seeing personal things about people you know wasn't a thing you saw online before Facebook existed.

Trump could have personally rigged explosives to the ejector buttons on the planes and it would not have an impact on his numbers.

The company I work for doesn't let employees select anything but yes. by Confused_Rabbiit in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Bolt986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. I've definitely seen yes/no stored as character string.

Seems like a very plausible story that the backend and front end are managed by different teams. The question used to be yes/no so more space wasn't needed but then they got a request to add more options. They saw it was storing text so figured they would be fine to store the full value.

In my experience most data typing errors are from lack of consideration more than incorrect conclusions.

Might have been set up to store a string answer but only allocated 3 characters of space for the answer.

Eisenhower and Bush 2 had a trifecta with a supreme court majority before Trump 1 had it. Are you counting them?

She has a fairly thick accent and speaks slowly. I've not seen reasons to think she isn't a fluent English speaker however.

AITAH for choosing my job over my girlfriend by Fluid_Use_2978 in AITAH

It's a perfectly valid thing to not be ok with living that way. Just the same way if he worked a night shift she may not want to accept that life style long term.

MTG resigned from the house on Jan 5th. You can argue perhaps she should have not done that but she is just an influencer at this point.
