  • Rename football in America, Trump says, because soccer owns that title

    Jump

  • this is football, there is no question. We have to come up with another name for the other one.

    I suggest remaining American football to "rugby for pansies".

    Or maybe "handegg".

    On a side note, this seems like a great way for him to piss off a big chunk of his voter base.

  • Why do vehicle insurance premiums go up & down for seemingly no reason? Should I contact my insurance company to inquire?

    Jump

  • There are usually two factors that can cause auto insurance rates to change:

    1. Something happened to you personally that caused your rates to change. Like if you were in an accident (and especially if you were deemed at fault), or if you're vehicle changed in some way. There are other factors too, but those are probably the most common ones.
    2. Your zip code was reassessed and is now deemed to be more or less risky from an insurance perspective. This decision is separated from your personal actions, but it can still have an impact on your individual rates. And there's no really transparency on how or why the insurance company comes to a conclusion on this aspect. Which sucks.

    My guess is the second factor is thinking into play for you and your rates.

  • I think we're currently in the phase where it's rapidly undulating between both takes.

    Give it another week and it'll devolve into "what firing on shipwrecked people? What are you talking about? Lalalala, I can't hear you!"

  • Trump-themed burger joint that was raided by ICE has been replaced by new restaurant

    Jump

  • A pizza joint. But a more appropriate type of establishment would have been a face-themed restaurant for leopards.

    ETA: As in, Trump kinda forgot who he was, and that he should be irrationally hating on him.

  • TIL Bobby Dunbar was kidnapped, and returned to his parents... decades later DNA testing proved he was a different child

  • This was back in the era where 'children should be seen and not heard'. So the kid and his opinions weren't considered important, unfortunately.

  • Is Perplexity the first AI unicorn to fail?

    Jump

  • Strong agree on the lack of punctuation.

    Medium has become a bit of a cesspool for low-effort hot takes. Sometimes the articles make a great point but are not very well written (as is the case with this one). But more often than not they are a single, unfounded, absurd rage-bait argument that's been spun out into an article with the help of AI.
