Many people who are born go on to have children of their own. So a single pregnancy can lead to generations and generations of deaths!

It says "a leading cause", not "the leading cause". Depending on how long your list of leading causes is, anything could qualify.

I skimmed the source they linked, and it lists guns as the leading cause of death for ages 1-19. I did not see an overall list.

I would agree that a more carefully phrased sentence would have been better and less misleading.

That is irrelevant. If Trump's behavior would cause a regular schlub to be jailed, then he should be jailed, full stop. That's how the law is supposed to work.

It is a stretch when you're hearing from that person directly.

Don't worry, the same thing happened to Homer Simpson. Presumably, it could happen to anyone.

I pay for YouTube. I'm mildly optimistic that this won't make it into the paid version, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it does.

I've already had to cancel Amazon Prime after they made the base tier have ads, but continued to show ads after paying extra for ad-free.

Aluminum is the fifth most common element on Earth, and is naturally present in pretty large quantities in soil.

Are you sure you aren't confusing it with lead?

No, you see, it's only antisemitism when you oppose genocide.

If physics taught you that 1 = pi, you may want to retake some classes.

If you were as confused by this as I was:

Shortly after the vote, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said it would sue the FTC to block the rule

The US Chamber of Commerce is a right-wing lobbying group for businesses, unrelated to the US Department of Commerce which is an actual government agency.

No, sorry. Ethically, this technology can only be used for torture.
