I suppose, yes. The library is turning drug infested and into a sex den. The comma is replacing all the words "and into a." Which is essentially what you wrote. I guess i was trying to point out they were two separate situations and that drug infested is not describing the sex den. I was also trying to establish that commas can replace words and phrases. Although the example I gave above only replaced one word, it would make sense they would replace other words, as well, to shorten the headline.

I guess there are actual headline specific grammatical rules that are followed. While not a comprehensive list, some of these rules include leaving out auxiliary and some joining verbs, articles, conjunctions, etc, and replacing some words with various punctuation. Apparently, the list goes on.

I think they're presenting it as two separate problems. Drug infested is not describing the sex den. It is drug infested. It is a sex den.

Edit: Here's a good explanation: "A comma performs another kind of abbreviation in a headline, connecting two ideas without a linking word or phrase (often and)

Also, depending on what you move, make sure to take into account areas with drought, and future rain and heat patterns. Climate change is only going to get worse. Make sure you have a secure water supply to work with.

Well, shit.

Now that you put it that way.

OK, but you can attach a piece of tape to a coin and use just 1 coin to power the entire load. Unless it has one of those load all the coins into a tray at the same time and push them in mechanisms. Which, in that case, fuck coins.

Pretty sure my local bank has been doing this for a few years now. I thought I was losing it, but apparently it's a thing.

Only thing that pisses me off (besides the obvious fact that its my bank doing this, and i dont want ads) is that I get ads for the same stuff I just bought. If your supposed to be some all knowing awesome algorithm that understands me better than I understand myself, send me ads for stuff I might actually want, but haven't bought yet. Not, literally, the same thing I bought two days ago, and have no need for, for at least another month. Idiots.

At first, I thought it was a painting. Everything is warped and blurred just a little bit. Almost impressionist like.

I didn't see this till I got to the bottom. Started to get worried.

Idk, maybe they get all the analytics, like someone else mentioned.

I just know there are "ads" on government websites I've seen that don't necessarily follow the traditional concept of what we've come to know as advertisements, but are adverstments none the less. How they're set up, and what function they serve beyond directing people to a different place, is beyond me.

Maybe I should have phrased it differently... Adverstments aren't always from sketchy companies stealing your info, sometimes they're from sketchy governments too...
