  • A really minor grazing could draw blood as seemed to happen at the first attempt, but heal within several days, which explains all the evidence I've seen.

    Dramatically exaggerating a minor wound to maximize the benefit to him seems exactly what Trump would do in that situation.

  • Or even if they showed up outside of an electoral context. The green party has some local elected officials in a few places across the country, none of them very close to me so it's hard to inform an impression of them.

    But it doesn't seem like, at least outside of those few folks, that the green party is very interested in any aspects of politics besides running in elections. If Jill Stein was criticizing Biden or Harris for the last four years, trying to get them to move to the left, or organizing groups of people to accomplish anything other than voting every 4 years... Her rhetoric points towards making real systemic change, but her actions suggest someone only invested in being a presidential candidate within the status quo. And the green party keeps nominating her for some reason. That doesn't seem like what a serious party or candidate would do, or should be doing.

  • Encouraging assassinations of the current elected president and VP should really earn him the chance to see the inside of a jail cell. Even for a few days while they question him. I think that would be good for everyone involved.

  • Even the most skilled money saver in the world, when their income is barely above their necessary life expenses, will fail to save much. Savings is a luxury only the rich can afford much of.

    But you're right, putting money into the hands of people living paycheck to paycheck, or barely able to save is great for the economy as well as those people personally. Even if they save 10% and spend 90%, it's tremendously more beneficial than that money going to a wealthy multimillionaire who won't even notice saving it. For everyone except the multimillionaire, who really isn't negatively impacted.

  • I don't think it's being used as "lie" here, so much as "and I'm not just saying that, I really mean it". Rhetoric being used like speech in the sense that it's something that can be true or false vs something necessarily false

  • Yeah don't listen to Dave Ramsey. I remember hearing him speak on TV as a kid and something just felt off about him, but not quite as bad as Suze Orman.

    I don't think he's a scammer, and some of the stuff he says is perfectly sensible and useful, but he (a boomer) also gives advice that isn't how he got rich, to millennials and co, who will never ever get rich following it. Structurally that makes him pretty out of touch, and suggests anyone who listens to him should do so critically.

    That's putting aside that he's also kind of just telling people to do capitalism harder, and everything that comes with that.

  • Harris winning Texas is a very unlikely event, as much as I'd like to see it. I'd be happy if exit polling is ~Trump +1, and they can't call the state before midnight. A narrow Trump victory would still change the national conversation around Texas significantly

  • That's true, bigots will always offer a road deeper into their beliefs, and you can't stop them. But I think here the road out is a bit more visible than usual. It feels like a seed of doubt could be planted in some heads, which is something.

  • All because the school was afraid of some trans girl, who statistically speaking, probably wasn't even one of their best players. The school's transphobia did presumably hurt the trans student they targeted, but I'm guessing they hurt a lot more cis female athletes, on their own team especially. I hope any of those students who may have been transphobic see how it hurt them more than the trans student, and it gets them thinking...

  • Dedicated hardware still has benefits, having your phone notifications separate from gaming, if your phone breaks having your console break would suck, and imo a touchscreen will never surpass physical buttons on controllers so you'd still want those.

    I personally hope the future looks more like a steam deck than a gaming phone.

  • I don't see this mentioned there, but that Apple has largely ignored enterprise works out as a strength; other companies wrote and open sourced pretty good tools. That can result in tools that better meet your needs, and generally will result in a lower TCO.

  • The latest the CPU could've come out is around the time Barack Obama became a household name, at which point 64GB would've been a really big and expensive SSD. They probably wanted space
