Oh it’s a term linked to that industry…
…It’s tangentially related to the porn industry, but primarily, it is also the actual medical terminology many are probably more familiar with, so still wouldn’t be a great idea even in that context. (You get a pass if English is not your first language, otherwise, it should be fairly common knowledge.)
True. Was playing Arkham Knight the other day and thought this nine year old game looked better than at least half of current gen games.
The number of unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2022 (11.0 million, and the most recent year we have complete data for) was still below the peak of 12.2 million in 2007.
Now, migrant encounters (i.e., at the border) are at their highest levels in recorded U.S. history (249,735), but still not far removed from the previous peak in 2000 (220,063).
The fluctuations over time may have less to do with whatever border security/immigration policy an administration has in place at a particular time, and more to do with how other countries are performing relative to us (i.e., when things are shitty in other countries, we receive more immigrants, and vice versa). And like others in this thread have mentioned, any strain on the economy unauthorized immigrants exert is a drop in the bucket compared with other factors.
So, no, there is not a sudden “ridiculously high” wave of immigration recently. It is fear mongering and you are buying into it. This is also not to say unauthorized immigration isn’t an issue at all; it clearly has been trending upwards considerably since 2017. It is an issue, just not the behemoth that the GOP is making it out to be, and most certainly not the primary (or even secondary) cause for our economic woes.
Not OP, but I would definitely pay for premium if they offered a lower cost version that was only ad-free YouTube. But I won’t pay when they justify the higher cost with forced bundling of other services I am not interested in and have no use for, e.g., YouTube Music.
I love trying to out-logic AI chat. I know it’s probably impossible, but still fun. Haven’t got it to do anything against its programming yet, but I can consistently get it to give me the “this chat is over” equivalent line after a handful of exchanges.
Don’t they all essentially require internet access to be ‘smart’? I have a LGTV (with WebOS, an app store, etc.) that I basically treat as ‘dumb’ by leaving it disconnected from our network.
The Mist is also where I first saw him, he did an excellent job in that role.

Is there a term for humor that is ruined by terrible grammar and diction?
