  • Vivaldi has some amazing features that I wish other browsers would catch up on. Unfortunately it's really buggy. Crashes with no recourse to recover your tabs. That's a deal breaker and I dealt with that a fair number of times. Then I decided I'd use their workspaces feature to try and avoid losing all my tabs. Great plan, worked until all my fucking workspaces got deleted too. For every good feature Vivaldi has, it has several game breaking bugs.

  • did you know they're not starting a discussion of etymology, but about the actual administration's response to the disease? Here's Biden's quote from that articles btw "but the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so, I think it’s changing.”

  • the original poster is arguing about the administrations response to the pandemic being at best, poorly managed, choosing the stock market over human lives. The dipshit who said "well technically a pandemix isn't an epidemic" charged in and tried to chagne the conversation to one of fucking etymology. That's not the point at all. They're not pissed because of etymology, they're pissed because the administration could have done A LOT more but CHOSE not to, because stock market

  • I'm not even remotely arguing about the semantics of epidemiology, I'm arguing that it's heartless to argue pedantic shit like that when it's clearly still affecting people and still needs to be taken seriously, which the original poster is pointing out, and correctly so, that it's not. The administration pushed for business as usual, choosing the stock market over peoples' health. And you're over here injecting that "well technically the word pandemic comes from the greek word pan. NO, that's not what's being discussed here at all

  • Biden also wins around the same against Trump

    Okay. What's your point? Does it have anything to do with the discussion around the population of americans that want progressive policy?

    When Bernie was a threat, Nate Silver and lots of liberals were saying shit like they'd vote for trump over bernie, or just simply not vote if bernie was the nominee. They'll side with fascists against if they think progressive will threaten their power

  • did you even read the article you linked? kind garbage is "well ackshyually, it's endemic so the pandemic is over!" that doesn't mean that covid isn't a real threat. That's the stupidest fucking argument you could have possibly made. Know what else is endemic? AIDS. Hepatitis. Malaria. Tuberculosis. Fucking Polio. Changing status from pandemic to epidemic doesn't magically make it affect less people. It's really heartless tbh

  • It was nearly unanimous amongst the polls. Nate Silver is an absolute moron lol. Not that him being an idiot directly means his polling is trash. This guy made one prediction correctly, got famous for it, and now think he's fucking nastrodamus, spewing the dumbest assed takes. he's the definition of the saying "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds"

  • The way people vote and the policies people actually want enacted are very different. If you're talking specifically about how people vote, there's a lot you can infer as to why they vote the way they do, but if we're talking about actual policy - if people voted for policies instead of politicians, the vast majority of americans are very progressive. This is the point I was disagreeing with the commenter on.

    The polls bear it out time and time again - people want progressive policy, but are afraid to vote for progressive politicians, and hedge their bets on the "safe" candidate.
