No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why did they (Pirates) only want the poopdeck swabbed and not the whole deck?English

Or maybe it’s one of those Mandela Effect things and I’ve left my original universe.

23·1 month agoThat headline really should have kept the word “care” between “HIV” and “providers”.

According to Marine Corps data, 91.38% of women and 96.53% of men in combat arms who have taken the test since January have met or exceeded that threshold.
I had an indoor/outdoor cat when I was younger. One day I was curious where she went when she left the house so I tailed her. When she caught me, she was not happy. I was not where I was supposed to be so she walked back to the house, turning every few steps to yell at me and make sure I was following. I was clearly an indoor house human and not allowed outside.

politics @lemmy.world•‘What The Actual F**k…’: White House’s ‘Vindictive’ Attack On CNN Journalist Sparks FuryEnglish
31·3 months agoDisappointed that Huff Post made no effort to say what was the question was and is instead helping Trump to distract from the topic that made the President of the United States so uncomfortable that he launched into another of his infantile tantrums.
Having heard the exchange elsewhere, I gathered it was something about North Korea and Kim Jong-Un, but I could not make out the specifics.
I feel like the story should be “Trump desperately tries to avoids questions on relationship with North Korea”.
