He has a captive base of drooling idiots who believe him and send him money . Why wouldn't he go back to it?

Because they make it easy and do a few cool things.

"Do you want a mic in your home that can record everything you say and do and send that data off to wherever the company chooses?"

"No of course not."

"What about of it will also turn your lights on and off and play despacito on demand?"

"You son of a bitch, sign me up".

I know it isn't like this in the books but if you killed every single orc and glassed Mordor, and Sauron doesn't have a body and can't retake one without the ring...what's he going to do? Turn his shitty eye and shoot bad vibes at your forever? Just don't live near him (you glassed it anyways ). Pretty funny to think of Sauron still alive but utterly impotent because all his servants are dead and he's still disembodied.

They're not being actively held hostage in that there's no giant prison with all their families in it.

They are being held hostage because of the implication. The whereabouts of their family is well known so are they going to toe the line? Of course, because of the implication.

The problem with induction (including everything you cited there) is down to implementation, not the tech itself. The difference in UX between a bad induction stove and a good one is far far greater than the difference between a bad and good gas stove. A bad induction stove is just... really bad. But a good one (knobs, high density of settings) is just amazing. You can command 3000+W of power that actually goes where you want (you can get a pot of pasta water boiling in like 2 mins), and then the same element than consistency simmer at whatever low level you want indefinitely.

After using a great induction stove (with knobs, knobs are mandatory) I can't ever go back. Yeah you get 5000 watts of heat with gas but most of that just heats your kitchen, face, and pot handles. It only tangentially interacts with the food you're trying to cook.

My main issue with induction conceptually (once you move to induction compatible cookware) is that because they need to be digitally controlled they're necessarily complicated. It's possible for a gas stove to last 100 years if it's high quality and well maintained. An induction stove is lucky to last 10. But the experience is sufficiently superior for me.

I like how people can selectively forget the very concept of hypocrisy.

The fact that this tweet caused their stock price to dive really shows what a joke the stock market is .

I think it's what we call Xitter.

Because the 5 billionaires who own most of the media stand to benefit materially from Trump returning to office.

Liberals make things better all the time. You sit on the sidelines achieving nothing.

"Everyone who disagrees with loves genocide " - said the clown with no solution to any problem .

You were going to find a stupid way to waste your vote no matter what .

It's funny how no matter how your sarcasm is interpreted, it's still factually wrong.

Another in a long line of utterly futile ideas. But we understand that you're doing the absolute best you can.

The goal is probably to prevent those voters from being re-added to the list before the registration deadline expires. If that happens then they've succeeded even if they ultimately lost in court sometime next year.

Remember folks, there are delusional centrists who love this guy and think he speaks for the working man.

Your comments is literally just ad-hominem too bruh.

Polls show swing voters don't like it when Trump interrupts people, and it can motivate (ie enrage) her own supporters.

I hope this is true, but there are definitely many swing voters who consider Trump's bullshit to be how tough people behave , and it makes them more likely to vote for him. If that weren't the case I doubt he would have been elected.

You might think Team Harris wants the mikes cut. But actually, they want the mikes kept on throughout the debate. Team Trump wants them cut, because they are afraid Trump won't be able to control himself and end up looking bad. Which I think is hilarious.

I hope they know what they're doing . Trump voters don't expect Trump to present logical arguments and back them up. They expect him to shout nonsense, talk over his opponent, and then declare victory at the end because that's what their idea of "tough" is.

So I hope the Harris camp has thought this strategy all the way through. A debate "win" isn't determined by who presented the most logical arguments or the most coherent vision. The winner is determined by who gets a bump in the polls and ultimately gains voters afterwards, and potential Trump supporters aren't looking the same things as Democrats.

The part where that matters. Your discourse is directly counterproductive to your stated goal.
