  • Trump refuses to criticize Laura Loomer amid concerns from Republican allies about her influence

  • It's not like it's some grand accomplishment. Having sex with a lunatic that worships you is about the lowest bar possible.

    It's also one the stupidest possible things to do, so that's why people think it's likely.

  • 'It just exploded': Woman who sparked Trump's migrant pet-eating hoax comes forward

    Jump

  • Its worst than the qoute. She posted a story her neighbor told her about her daughter's friend's cat. So the source of the story was 3 layers of people removed from her.

    When the news reached out to the neighbor, she said that it was an acquaintance of a friend, so even less reliable.

    So yes, wholley racist, even as she claims it wasn't. She was pissed at legal migrants moving into her community, and spread racist rumors about them to feed that anger.

    They also have k8 frontend called Harvestor. It can run VMs directly, which is nice.

  • Navy officer lost job for secretly installing internet on warship to check social media

  • It's not a tradition, it's the correct nomenclature. The article I posted isn't talking about history, it's talking about how rate/rank works in the Navy.

    Your link has to do with ratings, I.e. jobs. That is a distinct thing from rate, i.e paygrade. It refers to enlisted by ratings and paygrade, never rank.

    As to military ID, they use a generic format that has "rank" and "grade" listed. This format is used for all US armed forces, enlisted and officers, and as such is a generic catch all since all other branches of the military use rank for enlisted. For uniformity sake, the card omits the Navy's odd quirk.

  • Youre mistaken. A "rate" is where you are on the E1 - E9 paygrade scale. A "rating" is your assigned job, what you get after A school. A Fireman has a rate of E-1/3. He does not have a rating because he hasn't been to A school. You can also "strike" for a rating by testing into it, but thats rarer.

    There is more history about this confusing system here Note that this is from a .mil site specifically about Navy history. The article is from 2019.

    The United States Navy's enlisted rank and rate system is unique among the armed services. The first point of divergence is the term "rate," used in the Navy rather than the more-familiar term "rank," which is reserved for naval officers and warrant officers. The second unique aspect of Navy enlisted rates is the inextricable linkage of rates, which represent a Sailor's pay grade, and ratings, which denote an occupational specialty. For example, where a notional Sergeant Smith may have a military occupational specialty (MOS) of infantryman in the Army, he would simply be designated Sergeant Smith, both in conversation and on official documents. A Sailor of equivalent rank/rate with a rating of boatswain's mate would be Boatswain's Mate Second Class Jones. Thus, the Navy combines rates and ratings in Sailors' titles.

    To complicate matters further, the Navy considers Sailors in the E-1 to E-3 pay grades "nonrated," meaning they do not yet hold a rating.

  • Enlisted only have rates, not ranks. It's a weird navy thing. Enlisted also have "ratings" which is your job, I.e aviation tech, boatswan, etc.

    Youre also talking about firemen/seamen/constructionmen/etc. These roles are e-1 to e-3 and have a rate, but not a rating.

    In my experience, no one knows the rank/rate distinction and everyone just refers to rank. It's not something they explain well.

  • I mean, Alf. Its fitted well, and he's really putting his hips to work in it.

    ET has some real whimsy going on with the clashing styles, but they are just not selling it like Alf is.

    Alf is wearing it. It is wearing ET.

  • He said his source was "a man on TV."

    Not even social media. He saw "a man" on the "tv" say it, so it must be true. Did he specify what man? No. What TV show? No.

    The moderators had comments from Springfield officials, and he had a nebulous TV man.

    That's just false, not even baseless.

  • GSA says 337K Taylor Swift referrals have come to vote.gov

    Jump

  • I think her fans are probally not happy about that, but it was pretty small part of the overall post. I read that as more her responding to the misinformation about her than a direct "they wronged me, get them!" She certainly isn't happy about AI fakes though, and not just from the Trump campaign. Musk also allowed Twitter to host a viral wave of fake porn of her a bit ago before it got a lot of outrage in the media, so this may also be a clap back about how irresponsible the GOP side of aisle is being with AI.

    I'd expect her fans to have a stronger inclination to overall agree with supporting reproductive rights and the various other points she championed over a sense of retribution, but it may play a part.

  • Nope. At no point did she ask her fans to "vote to defend me."

    She expressed her political opinions, and extolled them to express their own several times, then dropped a link about registering to vote.

    She basically said "I believe this and will be voting for Harris. You should think about what you believe, and then vote for that. Here is how you register to vote."

    Pretty chill and reasonable, honestly.

  • That was 2022, when she used the vote.org link, which is a charity that registers people to vote. Yesterday, she used vote.gov, which is a government service that redirects people to their local state registration services.

    OPs headline is the same as the article from this year, and is accurate as it lists referrals, which is what vote.gov does.

  • GSA says 337K Taylor Swift referrals have come to vote.gov

  • Vote.gov is aware of the traffic. It redirects you to your state website to actually register. Those websites would only see traffic from vote.gov, not anything from a tracking URL.

    Vote.gov uses custom links to see what is effective in getting people to register to vote so they can continue doing that, as that's their mandate.

    As a note, this is 10x as many people signing up same day then in 2022 when she directed people to vote.org

  • No problem mate. Text can be a bit opaque at times, but it's still a joy to be able to talk to so many people about so many things.
