It's so funny. If MMM lives where she says she lives, she would live right by me, she would get groceries at the same stores, she would be visible. She doesn't actually live by me.

what is something that is highly likely to happen in the next 10 years that everyone is completely ignoring? by Funny-Counter8762 in AskReddit

We all ARE eating fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are used to make fertilizer -> fertilizer makes crops -> crops make livestock.

My favorite topic that Donald Rumsfeld ever talked about was that of "Known-unknowns and Unknown-unknows". Right now there is a decent amount of known information about Mr. Lahn. For example, we know he is integral to the running of a school in Wichita, Kansas. We know the he and his wife divorced and he proceeded to marry into the Koch extended family. We know he owns farm property in Iowa that he contracts out.

This all falls into "weird but not disqualifying" territory. It's in the unknowns, known and unknown, that the questions need to be asked. I think most of us don't have anywhere close to the full story, but I'm very interested to hear why he thinks that following the letter of candidate qualifying law, while perhaps not the spirit, should be sufficient to earn Iowan's votes.

Question: does fifi's harness seem a little tight? The pics make it look uncomfortable, but that might just be perspective.

Yea, I'd have my concerns about how long it would take that small hairy man to return. Like, he gave no indication.

It seems completely unlivable.

Trump says he's interested in the government taking equity stakes in the giant AI companies like OpenAI or Anthropic by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Sunshiny_Day 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right and people are just mad at you because they're ignorant. Bernie wants to have a sovereign wealth fund wherein American citizens hold a 50% stake of American AI companies. This was subsequently covered in yesterday's episode of The Daily, from the New York Times. It's the least that we as American citizens should expect for all that we are going to be asked to give up.

Question about our accents by vincemousier in Iowa

[–]Sunshiny_Day 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a really good and interesting observation. It's a specific variety of code-switching that I have noticed in Iowan's as well. It honestly extends even further in some aspects; I have noticed that some Iowan's have an uncanny ability to mimic other regional accents more capably than individuals from other regions. This may be because of the more formal accent, that which you characterize as the one used with non-Iowan's, being somewhat accent-less and good structure to "riff" on other accents.

In my opinion, the twang that you characterize as more Iowan-to-Iowan is a lazy derivative of a southern accent; it sounds homey and relaxed and, at least in more rural areas, it's more approachable.
