"Elites" is about as useless a word as "woke" or "terrorist"; depending on who you ask, you will get wildly different (and often mutually exclusive) answers on what it means.

In my experience, the loudest conservatives I've met have all fallen into 2 categories:

Explicitly "fuck you I got mine" I can at least appreciate the honesty with these ones.

And "I haven't read a book since 12th grade, and now I struggle to read at a 2nd grade level." And that's just performing the act of reading. Actual comprehension and critical thinking are completely beyond them.

The religious types are part of the equation too, but my area isn't particularly religious, so I don't often come across those assholes.

Conservatives seem to have this weird belief that if they tried something and failed, then everything should be as if they never tried at all. Like, "attempted murder" just isn't a thing in their eyes.

Maybe it's just how their fragile egos handle not winning everything always.

This take would make more sense if it wasn't something he does every year.

That depends on the person, and what their job is. The company IT guy should be able to do things faster than I can (or else I wouldn't have called IT in the first place) and shortcuts are part of that. If it's my retired construction worker of a father, there's no way he was ever going to know the hundreds of windows keyboard shortcuts that the OS does a terrible job of letting anyone know that they actually exist.

Reread what I said.

A>B is a relative statement that gives no information on the absolute values of either. If I say that Miami's elevation is greater than New Orleans', that doesn't mean that I'm saying Miami's equal to the top of Mount Everest.

Was there ever any doubt?

But it does make it more difficult relative to the others, which is all that any unitless chart is ever saying.

A lot of those stereotypical problems have been non-issues for a long time. Last time I had to fuck around with wifi drivers was somewhere around 2012.

I'm also willing to bet that the blacksmith they are picturing looks very different from your average blacksmith.

It honestly blows my mind that yahoo is even a thing anymore. I can't think of the last time they got something right, yet they keep shuffling along.

People need to think less like medieval serfs, and more like 18th century Frenchmen.

Why can't they stay sitting?

To most people, it also implies wireless backhaul.

I'm still worried about how he's even going to accomplish that, seeing as he's also planning to deport the cheapest sources of agricultural labor.

Close enough.

It's not about the sense of freedom, it's about my severe case of "just one more chapter" addiction.

The second ER diagnosed her with sepsis and then sent her home

That right there should be criminal charges. Pregnancy staus is irrelevant at that point. Sepsis will kill you if untreated.

do what the right wing does

Maybe with just a little less cross burning, lynching, and religious extremism.

Yes. And Biden was chosen, which includes Harris being next up if Biden couldn't perform the duties of president for any reason. If Democrats didn't want the status quo, they should have chosen someone other than Biden.
