Every article I see talking about people who are living on the streets calls them something like "unsheltered persons" or "people experiencing homelessness" or "unhoused individuals" or something equally awkward like "persons who are temporarily without residence" instead of simply "homeless," as if its somehow offensive to say someone is "homeless" now. Why? How and when did this become something we aren't supposed to say, and how is saying someone is homeless offensive? All of the other terms sound weird and unnatural. I genuinely don't understand, there is no ill intent here, I just don't see how that word is particularly egregious or disrespectful to anyone. Please help me understand. Here is an article for an example of what I'm talking about.

I know it's related to this PHP vulnerability fallout, and the memes are hilarious, but what does 4 have to do with it?

I've been seeing these three names all over social media lately, with people claiming they're aliens or reptilian beings disguised as humans. From what I've seen, people have been comparing photos and videos of them and making memes about their appearances.

Here's an article discussing the trend: https://www.thejournal.ie/internet-diaries-trump-alien-lizards-white-house-susan-dell-7194165-Oct2026/

Honestly, I find the whole theory pretty ridiculous. Having unusual facial expressions or looking different in a photo isn't evidence that someone is an alien. I understand that some people are joking, but it's strange how quickly a few pictures can turn into a full-blown conspiracy theory.

What's the actual context behind this trend? Was there a specific post or video that started it, or did it develop gradually as people began comparing the three?

I keep seeing things about this person but I have no clue who they are. The sub says I need to include a link and this post is what made me ask this question. https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddychicanery/comments/1xcma0w/elizabeth_holmes_is_a_breaking_bad_fan/

I keep seeing references to something about the number 4 being cryptographically secure, anyone familiar with what they are talking about?

Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/ofcom-4chan-online-safety-act-fine-b3012189.html That's the latest information I could find anyway.

My understanding is: online safety act (OSA) happens in July, 4chan refuses to comply as they aren't a UK business and sue UK's regulator OFCOM. US court throws out the lawsuit but also won't help OFCOM collect the £500,000 in fines OFCOM wants from 4chan.

Apparently the next step is to ISP block 4chan? How likely is that? I use 4chan for purely the video game boards; it's fun to talk shit about games with others. How likely am I to "lose" that?

Image posted to the political humor sub: image. The title said that this was related to a Ramaswamy ad.

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

So what's going on here?

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?

This might also be an ELI5 too.

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!

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?

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

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.

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!

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?

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.

The Ethiopia Prime Minister won a Nobel Peace Price and now there's a full scale war.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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 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?

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?
