As far as I’m concerned, he can die however he likes. As long as it’s soon.

Ugh… verb tense disagreement in that headline. Sloppy. Yuk.

Should read: After its reputation goes up in flames, Humane warns users its charging case may, too

Irregular verbs like “go” can be tricky. For 5th-graders…

The 80th anniversary of D-Day isn’t an “annual thing”. Biden was invited, just as Trump was in 2018 for the 75th anniversary. Edit: Trump’s visit was in 2018 was supposed to honor US Marines who died in WWI (where Biden also visited during this trip). Trump skipped the ceremony and then shit-talked the US Marines, referring to them as “losers.”

Biden showed up-- and managed not to disparage thousands of war heroes at the same time, unlike Trump.

oops, my mistake. Trump was supposed to visit the same WWI cemetery in 2018 to honor fallen US Marines for the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI. I got this confused with Biden visiting the same WWI cemetery on a trip to honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day, a WWII battle.

fixed.

when i see this *crap, all i can think of is:

Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.

edit: spelling, lol

Tu quoque

Tu quoque (/tjuːˈkwoʊkwiː/;[1] Latin for ‘you also’) is a discussion technique that intends to discredit the opponent’s argument by attacking the opponent’s own personal behavior and actions as being inconsistent with their argument, so that the opponent is hypocritical. This specious reasoning is a special type of ad hominem attack. The Oxford English Dictionary cites John Cooke’s 1614 stage play The Cittie Gallant as the earliest known use of the term in the English language.[1]
