I’d bet it actually simplifies as least as many things as it breaks. Basically all computers already keep track of time as a count of seconds since a UTC epoch anyway, and then do timezone conversions on top of that.

This is not it. What an abhorrent and sadistic take.

Here’s a handy tip for the future: if you find yourself writing a sentence that goes “I really hope […] poor people […] suffer greatly”, maybe reconsider posting it.

I can guarantee you that is not the argument that anyone not voting for Harris because of Gaza was using.

I am pretty sure Ubuntu is still far and away the most popular desktop distro. For servers I would have guessed it was something like RedHat/CentOS or possibly Debian.

I think it’s correct as-is. Inserting a “were” would make that clause read as independent. With how the sentence is currently structured, that doesn’t work.

That’s not to say you couldn’t have

The tracks are now unruley [sic] and wild—the people once tied to them were killed in crosswalks by giant trucks

if you want, but the comma needs to change to something like a dash or a semicolon. With a comma (i.e., as a subordinate clause), “were” doesn’t make sense.

WebPlotDigitizer! It’s a great tool.

Yes, because now you’ve added the critical qualifier “who have ever been on the ballot”. Without that, it doesn’t hold.

No black woman has ever won the election or lost the election, because the set of black women who have ever been on the ballot before is empty.

Not really, since in most (all?) U.S. presidential elections to date there has not been a black woman on the ballot. I think there’s an important semantic difference between losing and not winning. The equal but opposite statement to the OP would be that a black woman has never won the election, which is true.

That’s what the meme is saying too

Are crepes not a food?

I haven’t heard this before. Why do you say that?
