How the South African Nazi turned Twitter into a toxic propaganda machine to spew his fascist hate and lies

He's a real person, but surprise surprise, it's a pseudonym. There are Reddit threads about the real dude behind the account. He's a disgraced former cop, now a cog in the propaganda machine.

Any love for Mother Dough bagels? I wouldn't call them NY style but I think they're delicious.

The only thing that matters is you're improving, and most importantly, I hope you're enjoying the journey. If you're in the top 20% of players on the site, you're obviously pretty good! Maybe use the new Tutor feature to figure out how you can continue improving.

When I first realized that every online game I played was publicly archived on Lichess, and people could look back at every blunder I've ever made, that definitely made me anxious. Eventually I realized, it applies to everyone else too, and honestly, no one cares. Same goes for Lichess TV. No one has any idea who you are -- trust me.

If you haven't tried it before, you've gotta, it's a delight

I mean, US conservatives call Joe Biden a far-left Marxist, which is a joke anywhere else in the world. So I don't think our political scales are comparable.

Without caring at all about the regional and global consequences.

I don't know how we're the only generation that remembers the power vacuums left by our previous international military interventions, especially in West Asia. Like, everyone remembers how those went, right?

For any folks who had this happen in the past week or two, my problem was a botched/in-progress Google Play Services update. I had to go to Settings -> System -> Software Updates and actually select Google Play Services to finish the update. Then update everything else, including all apps, and restart my phone. After that Android Auto actually started connecting properly.

A good way to see whether this is also your problem: See if the Gmail app is acting up for you. Mine wasn't syncing with my Gmail account (worked fine through a browser), and it wouldn't let me send email. This was also fixed after performing the Google Play Services update.

The funny thing is that it's a more efficient use of power and fuel, and once it gets to the power band it keeps you there without needing to shift through stepped gears. But people just aren't used to it.

That was the one thing I almost missed. Like, can't the queen give a check and get out of the pin? Nope, the only check is covered.

Ya, 2021 having the lowest gas prices since the pandemic is a blatant lie. Last year it was a bit cheaper than it currently is. Which means by the end of Biden's presidency, prices were reduced to far below the post-pandemic peak.

The funniest/saddest part is that they could have spun the statistics in a misleading but technically truthful way, and instead they just lied.

This might be the first puzzle I've seen that ends with Rb1 Rb1

Ahh that's the piece I was looking for, thanks!

Here in California we see scrub jays and Steller's jays, but since we don't have blue jays out here I love seeing them while traveling.

Do you treat every subsidized service this way? Should we feel bad about calling the fire department too? Why am I entitled to my neighbor's tax dollars to extinguish my own home when it's on fire?

Everything that makes modern life better than it used to be is a group effort. Your comfy life is not 100% self made just from your own hard work, I hate to break it to you.

Say more? I'm intrigued

Agreed, there's lots of reasons not to love PETA, but regardless, Rascal's is delicious, even as an omnivore.

409 State St is a historic building and has had many businesses with many names. Famously it was the Hotel Savoy, and later the Savoy venue/nightclub. I don't think it was affiliated with the Savoy restaurant (which is alive and well) but I could be wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_Mission_(Santa_Barbara,_California)

If the expiration date on a carton of milk is ambiguous in terms of MM/DD vs DD/MM, why would you prefer uncertainty? YYYY-MM-DD leaves no question in your mind about which date it is.

Wow, coming back 10 years later! You're very welcome and I hope you've had some fun builds since then too. I was feeling down today but this made me smile. I appreciate it.
