There's so many stories of Republicans being awful in this election cycle, somehow I missed this one.

So what's going on here?

This might also be an ELI5 too.

Reuters - Government websites go dark as vulnerabilities in programming language

I'm a Silicon Valley native though I don't work in tech. Others here may also want more info on the tech side of things. As for me~

What I understand: It's bad, and everything uses PHP.

What else I want to know: What's "everything"? Will it affect things I'm using? Google drive? Gmail / Yahoo Mail? Firefox / Chrome browsers? Salesforce? discord? Windows? reddit??

Thanks!

I read that they had a password with just the number 4 but I dont understand it really.

Also, is this related to the PHP issue?

It started with this tweet and I'm seeing it QRTed a lot. Did something happen recently?

He’s that Cinder Fall vs Mecha Sonic guy what did he do as someone who doesn’t know what happened to him after he got banned from the r/DeathBattleMatchups Subreddit?

I am a sports fan (baseball, soccer, hockey) but not american football. I know that Jalen Hurts is out for the season due to blood clots but also there's some controversy and confusion about the team making him play, or not doing what they should have done.

Seeing stuff like this - https://www.instagram.com/p/DerlxEKlcBE/

can anyone explain the situation clearly from a medical POV as well as what the team did and what they should have done? Thanks!

I enjoy mathematics, but I hate AI, and I hate the fact they stole most of the work from actual humans. And I also do not know much about the Navier-Stokes problem. I just want to know if it has been checked by mathematicians to make sure it contains no mistake.

Been hearing more and more about EA in the past six months and I finally looked into it a little and…this seems like an incredibly mundane idea? Basically applying a utilitarian lens to things like philanthropic interventions and the direction of public investment? I think there’s a lot that is wrong about this idea, but it seems neither new nor interesting nor especially deep. So why is it seemingly an axis along which Keyboard Warriors and Big Brain Pundits and Politics Weirdos are loudly polarizing themselves?

So recently, I've suddenly got videos/memes of the Troublemakers from Team Umizoomi in my FYP, & I started wondering, "How the fuck did these guys just suddenly start trending?". Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/h0FOq7DNjg8

I keep seeing these on YouTube lately, and I don't know the origin of how all of these started. Thanks in advance.

IMF October outlook predicted that Indonesia would grow at 5.1%. However, its stock market subsequently crashed amid widespread news of an impending economic collapse.

When I checked the currency exchange rate, it appeared to not be trading

So I haven’t been paying much attention to the recent situation other than the having the general knowledge that a tragic accident has occurred involving a man killed while riding one of the Goliath rides at the Georgia park. This morning I logged onto Instagram to see and update from Canada’s wonderland (another six flags park) saying 2 of their rides would be temporarily closed. I was confused because I don’t know much about the situation so I’m not sure what led to the ride failure on Goliath and what makes it similar to the rides at wonderland other than the fact that I think they’re both manufactured by B&M so if anyone has some more information on what exactly we know so far it would be much appreciated.

Edit: I also am aware of the six flags and cedar fair merger.

It seems like two to five times a day I get his with something like this:

A mixture of games that were originally for the Ps5 or games remakes that now run in a web browser. Some questions I’m hoping to get answered:

Are the web browser games and emulator recomps related?

Has anyone tried the web browser games?

How the hell are they even running in a browser? Where is the horsepower coming from? I may be aging myself but I remember web games having pretty low ceiling for what they could technologically achieve and impractical versus a dedicated game engine. I must be missing something but it seems odd to be able to run AAA games out of chrome or Firefox.

I see the description here but it just leads to more questions... they even got rid of a singer after she got pregnant. If this were any other place of employment, that could potentially lead to a lawsuit.

But this particular quote struck me: "Nightwish seems to have a recorded habit of booting their female vocalists due to interpersonal conflicts."

I'm of the old adage that if you smell sh*t everywhere you go, check your own shoes.

So what gives here? Anyone have the tea?

Edit: LMAOOOOO these answers have me dying thank you guys I get it now 😭😭 Reddit humour wins today

Original post:

There are lots of bots on Instagram who steal peoples’ comments word for word basically and get more likes than the original commenter. Whenever this happens, people always reply to the bot with the same “I wish I were high on potenuse” gif (example). I understand the maths joke (and think it’s funny) but like why specifically this gif in response to bots?

I know she had a rough start with her first briefing, but I also heard she’d only just started and had barely any time to prepare. Given past press secretaries’ varying performances and strange or controversial behaviors, was that really enough for her to be canned so fast?

Not from the US so not sure if im using Rep. right. Anyway, why is she being investigated to the point that punishment includes stripping her citizenship?

Watched YT short (I watch yt shorts pls don't flame me) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DBUBsL9-aqo and apparently Cary is high on marijuana (which I know about) and Micheal is in some big trouble. What did Micheal Huang do?

I saw a livestream today where people are destroying property and whatnot. Apparently this is part of some student protest or something? Is it related to the protests in France?

Here's some screenshots 1 2 3

First, is this actually real or is this an AI mockup?

Second, why on Earth would somebody think that this was something that you would ever actually use? Not many freeways being built like Hot Wheels sets in America.

I'm unfamiliar with the Narnia series (never read the books, only saw the first movie when I was a kid) and the trailer for the latest film dropped a little while ago. I thought it looked sick, but apparently a lot of people hate it or think it's gonna suck. On the YouTube trailer, people are comparing it to Guardians of the Galaxy, or an LSD trip or claiming that the "soul of C.S. Lewis" was taken out of it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDJ-ini7fF0).

What am I missing? Is this because of book readers being disappointed in the direction the film is going? What sort of changes are they actually upset about? Or is it just an overblown response to the art style?

I very much don't want to google it. A guy got killed by a tiger, but somehow it's right-wing coded? Or is that just a reference to public execution? Ugh sorry, I hate all of this, but...what?

(Link is to the zoo but not the video, because, no really, that sucks and I do not want to google it.)

I was on Instagram and it seems like some people are pretty upset about a joke he made in a set or podcast. What was it?
