  • If dying over and over again is what's making you angry, turn on God Mode. The story is amazing. Without God Mode, I would have thrown it on the heap of games started that never hooked me. It was worth setting aside my pride to see a beautiful, intriguing set of stories and relationships unfold.

  • Veganism. I don't have any problems with most vegans. Most go through a phase of trying to convert you, but the ones I know and associate with have come out the other side. We all know that these positions would make the world a better place. I don't think I have the will to do it. Might be wrong though.

  • So Descartes coined the term specifically as a dig because he didn't see any geometric possibilty to the concept. The concept seems to have roots going back to ancient Egypt, but the modern inquiry goes to the Renaissance. I think Gauss wanted to call them laterals.

  • Did anyone bother to read this article?

    1. No one is calling to cancel him
    2. Dyer explicitly says an epochal thinker
    3. Dyer then says he was apart of his time
    4. And the last third of the article is quotes from other academic all like "That groks." Or "matches what I researched in this corner."
  • Oh wow! That's messed up. I grabbed the characters from the wiki and just assumed it was the pinyin for those characters. Why would they make it up? All of those phonomes are pinyin. Couldn't they just use some other characters like 巴辛塞.

  • Basingse is the pinyin transliteration of the simplified Chinese characters 永固城. 城 is se. 永固城 means Great Impenetrable City. Sah, I don't think, is a pinyin transliteration.

  • The first two columns is what percentage each party receive for that particular demographic. The third column is the percentage that demographic made up of the total votes.

    So the each rows first two columns should add the 100%. The final column should add to 100%.

  • I appreciate that you ran the numbers.

    When I ran the number I had a few other takeaways worth noting.

    • Harris received about 8.6% less than Biden nationally.
    • In the swing states, Harris out performed him four of them (GA +2.9%, NV +.1%, NC +.2%, WI +2.3%)
    • In the remaining three the percentage loss was less than the national (AZ -5.7%, MI -2.9%, and PA -2.6%)
    • Trump increased turnout in the seven swing states relative to 2020 (the lowest was in NC +4.0% and the highest was NV +12.0%)

    Looking at the numbers this way, you see that Trump was able to turnout the vote more than Harris in the seven swing states. What were they doing right? Who were these people?

    In NC, you see a lot of split ticket votes. These are people who voted for Trump for President, but then voted for the Democratic governor. In MI, AZ, WI, and NV you see a split tickets electing Democratic Senators.

    Swing voters and independents, like you mentioned in your first message, aren't as prominent as self-reporting polling suggests. But low-propensity voters have no loyalty. They may vote, they may not, they may vote Republican or Democrat. They are the true vibe voter. And in the seven swing states, they matter. In a dystopic way, all our fates lie with about 10-15% of the voting population who could take it to leave it.

    Finally, as for those who stay home... We have a consistent 1/3 of the voting eligible population who don't vote. Some of these people just haven't reached any meaningful political consciousness. They are young or unhoused or just don't think the system can change. But then there's a portion of that 1/3 that vote one cycle and not the next. This makes a portion of that 1/3 dynamic. But they just don't feel that their vote counts. That last one could change if we change the system. But we only change the system when we are in crisis. And then we only change the system enough to get out of crisis.
