The number is 10k per day.

I did the math a few years ago because I couldn't find anyone else who had published it. This is rough and IANAM (mathmagicman).

Every single day 8,000 boomers and above die, and 12,000 people turn 18 and those numbers are actually accelerating. If you use existing data to estimate conservative/liberal and likely voters within those groups it works out to a delta of 10,000 per day on a national scale. That's 5,000 votes switching every single day. That might not seem like alot. Because it really isn't. Out of 155 million votes cast, 10,000 is .006 percent. But here's the thing. It's cumulative. And it just doesn't stop. It is relentless. it's 300k a month, 3.6 million per year. And that pace is accelerating. Between 2020 and 2024 it's a 15 million vote difference. By 2028 it's 30 million. It used to be that people age into conservatism. But that is not happening with millennials. The demographics are changing, and changing quickly. The most conservative group in the country is dying. While the most liberal group is rising.

We just have to hold on to democracy for a few more years. This will all be behind us. Another 10k today.

Not Donkey Doug! He's my boy! I don't think of him as my boy, I think of him as my boy! Yeah, but it's more like... "That's my son right there, son." But not, like, "son-son", but, like, "my boy". But not, like...

Same. Although it wasn't easy.

I don't know why "amp;" appeared. I didn't write it and it is not necessary. It's just the and symbol. Followed by t=__s

On YouTube, adding "&t=37s" starts the video at 37 seconds. It is pretty useful.

That is the full extent of my coding knowledge.

Arizona Ice Tea. 99 cents a can for 20 years.

Cost Co. Hotdog and a drink is still 1.50.

So....what you're saying is....trust the fungus?

Not yet.

That kind of language shift is stupid. Changing words because you don't like the connotation is just denying reality. The connotation comes from what the word means. It's not the word itself. Homeless has horrible connotation because of what it is describing. If you change the word, eventually it will gain the same baggage.

Homeless is the perfect example of this because that was the new soft word. It replaced vagrant or bum.

This is sublime.

It will be the EU. For exactly this kind of shit.

43. I want to punch that guy for throwing everything away because he thinks he's older than us.

His SAVE program for Student Loans is fucking incredible. It dropped a crippling payment down to $32 a month. He may be old, but that has really helped me. I support him completely.

Tap. Tap. It's not working.

Ted Lasso got boring after the first season because they made everyone happy and bubbly. It worked so much better when Ted was the lone optimist.

Ahhh. Then yes. Remote works the same. Change the default launcher to FLauncher and it automatically maps it to the home button.

Xbox. That's fine right?

Yeah. It still makes me angry. A few hit piece reviews from people that didn't play the game, and were just making things up, scared Sony so they canceled the sequel.

But the game is so good and the story is so fantastic that there are serious talks about a movie. Primarily due to the success of Last of Us. If that happens a sequel is possible, maybe even probable.

Sony is the easiest to change all the settings. Samsung is the worst.

I have no idea what a reddit controller is.
