His response, and I’m not joking, when all of his arguments against gay marriage were defeated in that debate, was, “well, I still don’t like it.”

- Comment on Just like in the movies. 1 day ago:
That’s definitely not Mexico in American movies. They never show any of Mexico’s grand architecture and vibrant communities. Only the slums.
- Comment on Why is it called linux phone? 2 days ago:
Android uses a Linux kernel, but most people don’t consider it “Linux”.
A “Linux Phone” is a more traditional Linux distribution made to work on a phone, usually with GNU tools, and a GTK or QT based UI.

It’s on a 65” 4K tv.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 6 days ago:
I have one almost exactly like the one you posted. Same processor, same brand.
It’s fine. It can do 1080 on most games. BG3 runs at 40fps at 1080. My wife uses it mostly, and she doesn’t mind.
One big annoyance I have with it is it’s got terrible Bluetooth connection. The controller needs to be within ten feet to have a reliable connection.
All in all, I would say it’s worth it if your needs are a good fit.

Yes, every time I’ve ever heard someone use metric to describe distances of >999km, they keep using kilometers.
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 1 week ago:
I’m always disappointed that megameter isn’t a common word. People will say “one thousand kilometers” instead of just “one megameter”.

No, it’s definitely liquid. I just asked my dad, brother, uncle, grandpa, and (male) friend.

Light and regular. There is also heavy. How much they can absorb.

If you don’t know, this doesn’t stand for left and right. It stands for liquid and regular.

I injured my back at 23, and have been using a cane off and on since then. I don’t understand this meme.

7 would be really useful for those games where you have to find the ball under the cup. You can instantly tell if you’re being swindled, and always win.

I think half of those people wouldn’t know what a browser is.

There are three browsers in that image. There are two additional skins for one of the browsers.

- Comment on how good are you at lying during job interviews? 3 weeks ago:
Here’s the worst kept secret in any industry: lying during your interview usually doesn’t have any consequences. It’s not illegal, unless you’re committing fraud, which has a pretty high bar (like falsifying official documents, or signing an affirmation that what you said is true).
The most likely consequence is that you’ll have lied about something you can do, and they’ll find out about it when you can’t do it.
Now, lying and stretching the truth are also not exactly the same thing.
Take this example:
“Why do you want to work here?”
The actual truth: “I want money and you pay well.”
The stretched truth: “I value your company’s commitment to being an industry leader in the field, and would like to be a part of a team with that kind of mission.”
The hiring committee will absolutely eat up the second statement. It’s not exactly the whole truth, but it’s not really a lie either.
Or here’s another one:
“Why did you leave your last position?”
The actual truth: “I was fired for hitting on a coworker.” (Please don’t do this.)
The stretched truth: “I decided to look for another position when it became clear the company’s opportunities weren’t something I could see advancing my career. I feel like this company can offer me opportunities that would much better align with my career goals.” (You know, having a job.)
Basically, you can stretch the truth to make yourself look good without flat out lying.
If it’s important to you to be honest, which it should be as that’s noble, then lying should be off the table. But your competition will probably be lying, so stretching the truth might be the best option.
Personally, I don’t lie during job interviews, but I won’t be completely honest, because I want to look my best.

Why would you need to update the app? It should all run on their servers. This is indicative of poor app design.
