You're on the bus, in a seat, but if the bus driver finishes the day and left his hat behind, his hat is in the bus on a seat. Active/private/static vs passive/public/transitory. You're generally in buildings but on vehicles, unless that vehicle is both private and enclosed. It's not much more complicated than in[side] vs on [top of]; just keep in mind that it's predicated on whether or not the encapsulatory nature of the object is necessary to its identity. For instance, you could also ride on a flat parade float without walls or roof, and putting a box on it to make it a bus doesn't change that, so it remains 'on'.

See? Pixel devices are nothing but a trip to the lemon grove, but people with debilitating chronic ass pain tearfully refuse to accept that they wasted their money on GETBRAND. I take those downvotes as an unofficial census confirming how many people don't know ball.

People who use stock ROMs choose to suffer, just like people who choose to buy a Pixel that will either come unglued, push components through the display, or just constantly overheat.

If Gavin Newsom is the source for the claim that Gavin Newsom didn't know the Guard was going to be mobilized and did not want to allow it to happen, the most charitable interpretation I'll commit to is that we don't know the truth. The dude has two faces.

I try not to be a grammar Nazi, but at this point, the next time I hear someone confuse "in" and "on", or use "floor" when they mean "ground", I hope they stub their toe so hard the entire nail gets ripped out.

State policy ≠ party platform
The United States was going to bomb civilians either way, protest voters ensured it will be worse.

Also that's not how this meme works, are you 90?

There are a lot of mental gymnastics involved in making "if you kill this sapient orchid monster, you will get back the two people it ate" into a moral quandry when it was actually the only moral choice Janeway had; I will brook no disagreement.

People like that, who almost universally profess Christian faith, should be attentive to the words of the early Church fathers on the intrinsically corrupting nature of wealth:

"The rich are in possession of the goods of the poor, even if they have acquired them honestly or inherited them legally."
— John Chrysostom

"You are not making a gift of your possession to the poor person. You are handing over to him what is his."
— Ambrose of Milan

"The property of the wealthy holds them in chains [...] which shackle their courage and choke their faith and hamper their judgment and throttle their souls. They think of themselves as owners, whereas it is they rather who are owned: enslaved as they are to their own property, they are not the masters of their money but its slaves."
—Cyprian

And for a direct Bible passage, it's hard to be more succinct than James.
