Woman used as an adjective like this sounds so wrong to me (probably because it isn't an adjective). If you wouldn't say man voter, man driver, men reporters, etc., then why would you say woman voter, women drivers, woman reporter? Just because some people use 'female' in a way that you object to shouldn't make all uses of it objectionable. Do you want a world in which we can say 'male patients', but have to say 'woman and girl patients' instead of female patients? Why??

After decades of journalists attaching the suffix "gate" to anything even remotely scandalous, I was disappointed that I never heard anyone embrace the full stupidity of this practice by referring to this story as "Oceangate-gate"

Trump has been overcharging the secret service for years. Why wouldn't efforts to limit his grifting be in place?

Oh, yeah, his home life is a bit rough. Everett's wife was pretty big on domestic violence, at least over the course of the years of the comic that I have seen. Typically, Everett would make some remark that offended her, then BAM!

She was at least as violent as Maggie was with Jiggs in Bringing Up Father, and her self-righteousness made it all the worse

The engine uses a design called full-flow staged combustion, where both the engine’s fuel and oxidizer — liquified natural gas and liquid oxygen, respectively — go through separate preburners before going into the main combustion chamber.

Wait, is this the article that has been gnawing at Martha Alito (Martha-Ann Alito, wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito) for almost two decades?

Be a shame if, amongst other things, links to this article kept popping up everytime anyone did an internet search on her

And, frankly, the country doesn’t want to have to go through prosecuting a former president.

Yes, we do. We really, really do.

I use Jerboa in list view, which gives me a nice, compact presentation of a number of posts on my phone screen. This is great, except now the list is full of left-right scrolling text whenever a community name is too long to display in the allotted space. This is very distracting, and I would love to turn off this scrolling

I looked through the settings, but I don't see a way to turn this off, or a way to simply not display the community name at all (not my preference, but I'd take it over the scrolling)

Can anyone help? My post listings look like they are on a web page from 1998

Edit: Now I see that the scrolling is also applied to long user names as well, and is used in areas other than post listings. This seems to have just started with the latest release. I really hope this can be turned off in settings. It feels like geo-cities in here

So, wait a minute. This kid makes a private joke among friends, and his message is intercepted by security services and obviously taken out of context (in that they failed to realize he was privately joking among friends).

Seems to me that the security forces should eat the cost of this. This is the price you pay for spying on everyone and overreacting.

The kid didn't say this publicly
