No. It isn't. Being funny or surprising doesn't make an article oniony. The Onion isn't any kind of humour, it's specifically satire. A nottheonion article is one that appears to be satire, but isn't. There is no illusory subtext to this article, so it isn't oniony.
This is the curse of every nottheonion. The general public (or you might say, regular joes) are incapable of discerning what is oniony and it always turns into Chuck Shepherd's News Of The Weird. https://shepherdexpress.com/puzzles/news-of-the-weird
Is this true?? I suspect something closer to the way the KGB was "dismantled" and then re-assembled around the entire government.
Not that trans hate/hysteria isn't a very real thing, but in addition to being its own thing, it also serves as a cover for gay hate. Because it's briefly become socially unacceptable to go after homosexuals. But they still fucking hate them. So "trans" becomes a sort of proxy or dog whistle. Sure as fuck, gay marriage is going to be an issue before the end of the year.
In the early 80s I used to have fantasies about having a foster ~~robot~~ android that my family was teaching how to be a person. Oh the amusing mix-ups we got into! We could just do that. Train on experiential reality instead of on the dim cultural reflection of reality.
Edit: "robot" means "slave"
Jesus. Okay. So when you say, "being short sighted", you don't literally mean the geometry of their eyes is myopic. You mean it figuratively. Exactly like the person you are correcting clearly means it figuratively when they say "short-term memory".
Weird that they removed the reference to ESP32, one of the most common and widely known microcontrollers, from the headline.

It's kind of awesome for everyone if you don't piss off your trading partners. It happens in the first place because it's better for everyone involved! It's a consensual arrangement that parties only engage in because it is in their interests.
