Because most people have their phone on vibrate 100% of the time. I had a OnePlus and my slider got stuck. Couldn't change the setting for 2 years but as it was stuck in vibrate, it didn't matter anyway.
Hm.. let's see, we let in Hungary, there's a strong push against messenger encryption, and we kill a lot of people at our outer border. Yep, we're great.
He's not doing genocide, depending on your viewpoint he might not be doing enough to stop it up to abetting genocide but he's not Netanyahu. Stick to the facts and don't pretend Israel doesn't have agency.
A bar chart for this kind of data makes no sense to me as the bar doesn't really represent anything. A scatter plot is a good choice and adding a connection line for readability is imo not so bad. It should however be inverted going up to 1 and not down to 0.
I'm not American and I did vote for the green party in my country where it makes sense because our voting system is not as shitty as yours. It doesn't make sense in the US though especially with Project 2025 looming over everything.
I think you misunderstood democracy. You can vote for whoever you want, until Trump abolishes democracy that is, but you can still be ridiculed for your decision.
But there's something very good about these articles: MAGAts like strength or what they think strength is and articles talking about humiliation are not helpful for Trump.
The article is pretty well done and shows exactly why this discussion is moot. There's simply no merit to the accusation, plain and simple.
If an accusation comes from Russia and only from Russia, it's part of their misinformation warfare. That's not ad-hominem, that's paying some fucking attention.
Same way as they would for the ID, They don't. That's not a common problem. Only people in the same household could possibly access the paperwork and as there are only 250-ish people voting at the same polling station, risk is high that someone voting twice with paperwork of a family member would immediately be found. That there are enough cases of this to sway election results is highly unlikely.
voting several times
Check list. Everyone that is registered at that polling station is ticked off on the list.
IDs are not routinely checked when voting in Germany at least. But there's no voter registration necessary because everyone is registered with their municipality and automatically gets their voting paperwork sent home. You just need that paperwork to vote, no ID. I wouldn't change that setup because giving poll workers ways to refuse voters is not a good thing.
Btw. I've never had to wait in line for more than a minute to vote. Voting booths are usually in walking distance (might be different in very rural areas) and each accommodates maybe 250 people for the day.
Also, there are polling stations in prison. The right to vote can't be taken away.
he said it's the biggest mistake of his life - I sure fucking hope so. This is an empty statement, of course it is.
and he has to bear the consequences - that's what grinds my gears. No, he doesn't bear the consequences, his victim does. I would like for him just once to acknowledge that there is an actual victim here and it's not him. He destroyed her life. Even that carefully crafted PR statement you posted here only ominously mentioned "those involved". He doesn't mention her, his organization doesn't mention her. He calls it a misstep and a mistake, he doesn't call it what it is, child rape.
If he were truly reformed, he would acknowledge what kind of pain his continuous presence in the public eye inflicts on his victim and others like her and would actually bear the consequences - step down on his own.
I'm not gonna waste my time. Any definition I would provide you would dismiss as "western propaganda" anyway.
