I think the more egregious part is that all of the networks covered Trump's press conference, then failed to cover Harris' speech. Giving air time to one candidate and not the other is not balanced reporting. It is giving free publicity to one candidate over the other. They went to Trump's house on short notice rather than cover Harris' public speech with plenty of notice.

Ah, "buy" was a typo but it wasn't meant to be "boy". I know better than that. It was meant to be "guy".

Yeah, I've worked retail too and I don't think I would have done this, even if I did have another task to complete.

This cashier's lane light was on. They smiled at me, came to help, scanned my items, and let me pay. Then, rather than scanning the man's six items, they put up their closed sign and walked away without saying a word while leaving their lane light on. It felt hostile and rude.

Thank you, I appreciate it. It's honestly weighing on me that I didn't say something. I guess the best that I can do is to do better next time something similar happens.

Thank you. You don't think that speaking up would be more embarrassing for the man that what already happened? I feel terrible that I didn't act more appropriately in the moment, but I was too shocked to think of a good response to the situation.

I like this. This is the mentality I plan to take with me in case of future situations. I feel terrible that I wasn't present enough to act appropriately in the moment.

You look at the keyboard when you place your hands?

I go through a cheap Logitech keyboard just about once every three years. I replace them when a a couple of keys stop working or when the nubs wear off of the center keys and can no longer blindly find where my hands go.

It was the Mastcom-Z camera on Perseverance.

She's a bad ass for just having the guts to go out there like that. Good for her! I'd be mortified to try that...

What an understatement. "Cruel and dangerous" barely scratches the surface of how abominable Israel's "war" in Gaza has been. Genocide deserves to be labeled a lot more strongly than "cruel and dangerous". Calling this "cruel and dangerous" belittles the atrocities and only serves to aid Israel.

Thank you, this is really helpful!

Thank you, I'll look into options.

When you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?

If he won't debate, they should put together a "debate" where they take in-context Trump quotes, show them on a screen, then let Kamala respond to them. Let her rip apart his awful rhetoric and lack of policies and if he doesn't show up to defend himself, that's his problem.

I'm most interested in why the Pentagon did this. It seems like an weird thing to do. It also seems like, whatever upsides might have been there, the downsides of blowback if the scheme was caught almost certianky outweigh the upsides.

I don't even see how his reaction was a "typical authoritarian response". I think there are only a few reasonable responses after being shot. Defiance is a pretty reasonable response. Anger, fear, running away, and mental breakdown are all also reasonable responses.

I detest Trump, but his immediate reaction actually seemed like the best reaction that a presidential candidate could have. I don't think it was planned and I do think that his reaction was genuine. I think it's very hard to have a calculated response in a situation like that.

Maybe if Trump talked about anything of substance he wouldn't be in the position of having wasted a shit load of money. Slandering Biden while also saying he was unfit to run was a risk. The real fraud is Trump taking money from gullable supporters then turning around to use it to sprew lies at the same gullable people.

They get some, maybe most, of their info from NOAA, yes. I'm honestly not sure what AccuWeather's plan would be if NOAA were to be killed. They seem to have one given that they're one of the groups behind the push to privatize NOAA's work.
