Posts like this are what give Trump credibility among the people who want to believe. You're validating his complaints about persecution and fake news by stretching the truth well beyond breaking. Even in his typically incoherent state it's clear enough that he's talking about his opposition in 2020.

And worse, you're doing it for no reason. The guy does more than enough damnable, vile shit without needing any of this. Stop it.

Hey you! Piss off with that fact checking . We're having an America bad always and forever circle-jerk in here.

Yes, some of the questions in the poll address the fraction of the poll who did vote for someone other than Harris. Which is why I wrote 'almost'. The poll completely ignores the question of actual fraction of voters that those questions are attempting to represent (not many) as well as what the much, much larger fraction of voters who voted for both Biden and Harris thought. You have to go to the other poll for that and the answers about the influence of Biden's policy toward providing weapons to Israel become less clear.

7. Did the Biden administration’s policy of providing taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel make you [more likely to vote for Kamala Harris in 2024, less likely], or make no difference?

8. If Kamala Harris had pledged to break from President Biden’s policy toward Gaza by promising to withhold additional weapons to Israel for committing human rights abuses against Palestinian civilians, would it have made you [more enthusiastic, less enthusiastic] to vote for Harris, or make no difference? Asked of those who voted for Harris

Forcing one to wonder how exactly the translation between enthusiasm and voting likelihood works. The only thing that does seem to be clear is 'makes no difference' was by far the most popular opinion, which is pretty easy to read as people cared most about something else.

Good job pretending like you don't understand that the electoral college exists and why that matters.

And in order to figure what was most important to voters you also have to consider the ones that actually, you know, voted. Which that poll almost entirely ignores.

Except these people didn't decide the election, because almost nobody who voted where it matters did this and if every one of them had shown up the outcome would have been the same. Across the six states that flipped from 2020 to 2024, Harris lost less than 80,000 votes combined. She was less than a percent off Biden's record setting performance. Trump gained more than 800,000 votes in the same places. The block that decided the election was not Democrats 'staying home,' it was independant and irregular voters showing up—for Trump.

Not enough foil, maybe add a couple old cds.

Apparently there are still people who don't know that international justice is and always has been an aspiration.

In practice the only war crime that has ever mattered is losing.

Or he could just say he wants to repeal the law here and overnight republicans with their majorities will rush to pass a law to do just that while pretending they had nothing to do with initial law, after they've finished fellating him, of course.

19 million people in states where the outcome was a foregone conclusion. In the six states that flipped the difference was less than 80,000 votes.

//edit: Ok I was being flippant with this reply after my annoyance with another thread about this same thing. I didn't even really stop to process just how dumb that 19 million number is. Are we supposed to believe that 19 million people didn't vote for Harris after voting for Biden, but since the Actual difference in outcome was only about 6 million votes that Harris found 13 million other people to show up and take their place? Seems pretty fucking unlikely considering that the overwhelming majority of people who don't vote aren't registered and never vote.

This article opens in a way that makes it sound like Nintendo's lawyers are the arbitors of what is and is not illegal and is therefore in desperate need of an edit.

Either way, I'm sure it's helpful to emulator makers to know what Nintendo is looking for when it decides to take action or not.

Yeah, I don't really like sitting behind them either. We just got a new car and while it isn't that tall, the lights are just so fucking bright it's unreal. I find it harder to see at night, at least beyond the zone of my headlights, because it's so bright my eyes don't adjust as much. In addition every time hit a bump or crest a hill people act like I'm high-beaming them. I get the frustration dude, but they're already over-adjusted down, what else am I supposed to do?

Yeah, someone should tell the guy at the bar checking IDs to piss off too. And what's with these fucks at the pharmacy demanding to see my medical license. They shouldn't be hassling me because someone else might be writing illegal scripts.

Temporarily. Ultimately if you can't get houses adequately insured, banks won't lend money to invest in properties in areas prone to fires. Once they burn, they won't be rebuilt.

Who could have ever guessed that programming people for dehumanization of their enemies and mass murder wouldn't mesh well with ideological extemism?

Fair enough. Not temps then.

It would not surprise me in the least to find out a big heatmonster like those X3D chips will hit throttling temps at idle if the CPU fans stop spinning. Probably within seconds of booting. Can you check the actual clock speeds of the cores at idle/load? See if you're geting anywhere close to your 5.whatever ghz.

I mostly stay home and don’t go outside home except for work, so please recommend something inside my comfort zone

reads as:

please tell me how to find the fulfillment I'm missing without growing or changing

To which the only reasonable response is: No.

Make something. Electronic gizmos. Wooden thingamabobs. Textile whosawhatits. Repair lawnmowers. Whatever speaks to you. Find other people who do it already, learn from them.

Better still, make a better world—find a local civic group and volunteer. Put up animal boxes. Walk dogs at the shelter. Pick up garbage. Engage with vulnerable kids. Feed the needy.

What you're feeling is far from novel or singular. I have no idea how we as a society have managed to forget how to deal with it. It is the very reason anyone does any of those things.

This one, any mention of temps is conspicuously absent. OP should check them immediately.

Drug tests. A lot of cups have a temperature sensor to foil would be fakers bringing someone else's pee with them.

Bullshit. Libraries have book & game clubs. They host speakers, authors, and musicians. They offer short classes in typing, office software, graphics software. All of it is free of charge. You could easily spend 4-5 nights a week hanging out at a library chatting of you wanted.
