So many visitors to India are all like " I don't want to do touristy things I want to experience life as a local" and then claim they're bored when they have to just stay indoors all day to avoid the sun and catch up with ppl at the park in the evening to insult the prime minister
People who feel bad at being called tourists are without doubt the most tedious people on earth to get stuck next to on a plane and it isn't close to close
Tourists are an interesting group in that they consistently deny what we all know they are. I can’t think of anything that screams tourist more than reducing each experience down to charm bracelet size and wearing it around. If tourism is your thing, just embrace it!

This is almost unreal incompetence.

Here's how this area of inquiry was discussed in Monday's opinion.

In short, this is the afterthought, the ~it couldn't be this, could it?~ moment in the opinion: "If this procedure did not take place, then the Court is in uncharted legal territory ..."

You either resign in disgrace, or you live long enough to see yourself become Rudy Giuliani.

If you go and talk to the Black people directly you're just taking the bread right out of the mouths of the family of that former Obama staffer. He's not going to be able to afford a new podcast mic.

I'm sure there are other factors in the history, but there's a lot pointing solely to Kevin O'Leary as the main reason the educational games market died in the early 2000s. theoutline.com/post/6293/re...

There's been a lot of misinformation and wishful thinking out there about how Dems might counter new GOP gerrymanders, so we just published a special report explaining how *every* single blue state (and a few purple ones) could respond.

We've left no stone unturned. Read our piece below.

But can an LLM suggest a stupid neoliberal shock therapy plan to combat debt in developing nations that will only make things worse?
Have the consulting firms finally figured out that a LLM can in fact replace their core product offering: 22-year-olds with Ivy League degrees who don’t know anything other than how to make PowerPoints?

Every day brings a dozen new illegal and unconstitutional executive branch moves that could and should be stopped by the courts, and/or investigated in congressional hearings, and/or reversed by Congressional legislative action.

If you had a sense that kicking people off of Medicaid would be bad for their health, that is only scratching the surface of how bad Trump's policies will be for public health in America.
