  • Can't answer for anybody else, but from what admittedly limited information I'm aware of there are many reasons I'd not want to move to India - Modi, pollution so bad in places you can hardly see through it at times, rampant huliganism hooliganism, sexism, mobs severely beating/killing people (most not even nearly for "justifiable" causes), high unemployment, castes, people still openly using public streets for restrooms, etc. Doesn't seem like it's any better than the Ununited States of America.

  • They'll find some way to blame Dems for anything that becomes too unpopular, and their base will willingly buy into it to avoid responsibility - until something bites them personally. It'll take far too long for it to affect enough of them personally to save the rest of us with some semblance of rationality, though.

  • Depends upon how extreme the differences are. Arnold Schwarzenegger - who's a moderate Republican (thankfully supporting Harris) - was married to Maria Shriver from the infamously Democrat-heavy Kennedy family for well over a quarter century. Bill Clinton's (in)famous campaign adviser, James Carville, had been married to a well known Republican counterpart (Mary Matalin) since the early '90s.

  • If it helps, this Gen Xer (i.e. "me") is offsetting their remaining parent's vote. We were told growing up how decent we should be, yet when we actually took that to heart and did that our parents went off the reservation and lost their minds. There are a LOT of fractured families thanks to Trump & Faux Snuz, and I hope we can make the future worth all the trouble they've caused.

  • It'll never count if you don't even give it a chance. There have been a good number of examples where winners were determined by just a few hundred votes out of millions. There's no harm in trying to support the future you want, so even if you don't think it'll matter go vote anyway - you never know...

  • Official "support" just means the biggest size they tested. The current SDXC standard has supported up to 2TB since the standard was released. Any device supporting SDXC should work just fine with a 2TB card even if they don't specify it as officially supported (assuming they didn't deliberately nerf their driver for some unfathomable reason).

  • You can change your situation all you like, but it's not going to change who you are (especially as this big brother world enabled by technology makes it virtually impossible to escape your past). If you've reached a point where you have virtually nothing left to motivate you to move forward (especially if it has been that way for a long time), then the significant effort it would take to try to save you is unlikely to be worth it (never mind finding anyone who would actually care enough to devote themselves to such a task) - particularly with an outcome that is FAR from certain to be a positive one.

    Some people just reach a point of being basically devoid of hope, and therefore pretty much dead inside.

    Don't ask me how I know.
