  • If I had to guess, it's primarily to make people feel safer, security theater type stuff. I'm usually against that sort of thing, but you want people to feel it's safe to vote, so if you gotta do some silly stuff, so be it. Plus it's not like having narcan on hand is literally ever a bad thing.

  • Seriously, I don't think I've seen this kind of blatant "PAY ATTENTION TO ME I'M QUIRKY" behavior since AIM.

  • Will it change the mind of the hardcore MAGA base? Absolutely not. Will it make a large number of people switch from Trump to Harris? Probably not. It could, however, make some of the more reluctant Trump voters simply say fuck it and stay home.

  • I don't think that's the most likely outcome, but I could definitely see it happening and actively am hoping for it.

  • To be completely fair, this is the sort of thing he's done for forever now. A significant portion of his wealth comes from simply licensing the Trump name

  • You mean to tell me liberals sided with fascists over conceding literally anything to the left? Well I never!

  • Shampoo bottle label, obviously.

  • I'm sure this varies a lot from district to district, but the districts that I have teacher friends in, they've been using Chromebooks almost exclusively for the better part of a decade now

  • The most common explanation I've seen, and imo it makes sense, is that things mostly just work now. Even XP required a helluva lot more troubleshooting and messing with stuff to make it work than today. So you not only have a bunch of people that have no troubleshooting experience, a large portion don't even know how to properly search for things.

    On the flip side, you have a lot more people doing insanely impressive stuff at a lot younger ages because if you have the drive to do it, there's more material to learn than ever out there.

  • Not a single US city was ever attacked by an enemy nation.

    This is definitely an um ackushally, but the Brits did burn the capitol.

  • There's a difference between recognizing that defending democracy is absolutely the #1 thing to be talking about and doing that and entirely going "blah blah" at basic human rights

  • I'm sure the likely CTE doesn't help

  • Frankly, that shouldn't be limited to women. That's abhorrent behavior, and frankly it speaks volumes about each and every one of his voters.

  • Got an invite to the playtest from a friend recently.

    I should not have accepted it. This game is going to consume my soul

  • I'm shocked that the guy that very clearly doesn't see women as human thinks they won't remember all the awful shit he's done to make their lives worse.

  • Hey now, he's not Felon Drink Bleach. He's Felon Inject Bleach. Very different!
