@ocean One of each (at least).

Well, looks like using a cheesy clickbait headline to attract Facebook shares, really works. FML.

The Truth About Ferrite Beads Will Shock You https://northcoastsynthesis.com/news/the-truth-about-ferrite-beads-will-shock-you/

@lain You need an order from the US Marshal to get into heaven?

@tjmac Maybe "The truth about ferrite beads will shock you!". The point I'm planning to make is that the beads are actually useless and better omitted in the context that I'm writing about.

@tjmac Well, I hope it will get clicks, but I hope it'll also be perceived as a joke

leaning toward "You won't believe this one weird SDIY ferrite bead trick!"

What's the click-baitiest way to word a headline for an article about how to choose and apply ferrite beads?

@xj9 There is no public domain software without a public domain operating system to run it on, so your software is only semi-public.

@xahlee It's a developing story...

@xahlee (I mean "non-woke majority" there. Typo.)

@xahlee I think the best possible scenario would be if this incident drives the Liberal Party, and the "woke," away from each other - Trudeau realizes that courting the "woke" is a game he can never win, and stops trying so hard; they realize he will never be ideologically pure enough, and defect to further-Left parties (thereby losing their power within the Liberal Party); and the non-work majority gets political representation again. I don't know that this is very likely to happen, though.

@xahlee ...and Persian would count as "brown" too, for the people who use that kind of classification at all. I didn't know the costume was meant to be Alladin.

@xahlee I think you may be looking at it from a USA perspective, where racism is specifically seen as being about "black" and "white," no doubt partly because of the history involved. I don't think calling the photo "brownface" comes across as unusual to most Canadian newspaper readers, and "blackface" would read as just factually incorrect, though one or two newspapers *have* used that word. I've also heard "yellowface" and "redface" used in other cases.

@xahlee No, it means he was dressed as an Indian person ("brown") instead of an African-American person ("black").

@xahlee I think a really big part of it was simply that he wasn't Stephen Harper. Many Canadians would have voted for almost anybody to get the Harper Conservative Party out of power; they were anti-Harper, not pro-Trudeau. But things look a lot different in the current election: objection to Scheer, the new Conservative leader, is on Culture War grounds rather than the policy issues that were the reason for rejecting Harper, and that's an unwinnable game for Trudeau in the long run.

@shpuld @lain 実は、発音が「アニメ」です。
