I’m an election inspector. The amount of young male first time voters coming in with maga hats has been off the charts. And the number of young male voters in general is higher than I’ve ever seen.

I completely agree with your last two paragraphs. Regarding the rest, the other person that replied stated my thoughts in much more eloquent terms than I’m able at present.

Edit: regarding the electoral and electorate math: I noticed you didn’t touch the “Trump working the Netenyahu to block a ceasefire” (which would obliviate the need for bombs), “you can’t govern if you can’t win”, and “AIPAC” topics, but also seem to think that all of this is Harris’ fault or she has control of this.

That’ll teach her! Way to go - you really stuck it to that horrible excuse of a candidate.

It’s not like she had better labor policies (or practices) than that other guy (or did she?)

It’s not like that other guy was (allegedly) working with an (alleged) war criminal to rebuff US efforts to make a ceasefire deal (or was he?)

And finally, it’s not like AIPAC can literally thumbs up or down damn near any politician in the US like Julius H. Fucking, Ceasar and an almost universal bloc of voters will carry out their direction. Oh, wait, they will.

The thing that pisses me off is that yeah, maybe she’s fine in Cali or Hawaii or wherever. But there’s gonna be a fuck of a lot more death and misery in the world if fascists get control of the United States in the form of Donald Trump, and in those few states that matter (because of the fucked up electoral college) that attitude , which I perceive as smug self-righteousness, could be the deciding factor.

That simple worldview, unburdened with the whole idea of “you can’t make change if you’re not elected” must really be comfortable.

But you sure showed Harris.

I’d love to expound on this thought, but I have a fussy infant daughter that needs attending. BTW, it would be really cool if she FUCKING DIDN’T have to grow up in some goddamned Handmaid’s Tale dystopia.

Didn’t know that. I sit corrected.

Unless something has changed, “1:4 meat” comes shipped frozen in big boxes just like “1:10 meat”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen fresh not frozen burger at a McDonald’s.

Sir, this isn’t a Wendy’s :D

I’d like to see that source. The voter information should be limited to their registered address and what primary or caucus they voted in - not their individual votes, which are anonymized. At most, a PAC should only be able to infer (from the voter information alone) a likelihood of which political party the voter is associated with. Now, if they take that voters info and combine it with open source intelligence, social media, advertising intelligence/marketing data, they can make much better assumptions.

At the locality level, the voter is issued a serialized ballot. The local township, city, whatever keeps a log that “voter x received ballot Y”, but that’s where the association ends. Before being tabulated (read by the optical scanning machine and dropped into a sealed chamber), an election official removes to perforated strip containing the serial number, and the voter deposits the ballot (deserialized) into the tabulator. There is no input to the tabulator to indicate which ballot, or which voter was just processed.

The registration receipts and ballots (without serial numbers) are kept by the locality under seal for a designated retention period.

Looks like he’s still got his shoes on; rub some dirt on it. He’ll be fine.

On the flip side, not every drone hit is going to be debilitating to armor. I catch myself going: “where’s the secondary explosion?” quite a bit, I want that Russian equipment destroyed, but sometimes I just don’t see the confirmation.

This binary thinking is going to destroy the world, isn’t it? Societies and human endeavors are a messy, complex business.

Well, not that shocked.

OK, I’ve been dicking around with LibreTube for 4 hours now and I can’t figure out how to, or if I need to, create a login, and where exactly I would do that, given the several sources under “instance”.

For the sake of fuck, why are so many open source projects gut-wrenchingly awful at providing any beginner user info?

After the election, I’m sure

Dude didn’t even get a shot off. And at 400 yards, an AK might hit the broad side of a barn. This was an assassination attempt equivalent to a palsy patient attempting to do brain surgery with a pipe wrench. (shamelessly stolen from Sin City)

Regarding hydro, the ecological effects upon the area flooded, the impact on migration of species, and risk of poorly designed and maintained dams needs to be considered. Wind? I’m guessing the impact on airborne wildlife - only thing I can think of.

Wouldn’t say I buy cheap shit, not Apple (I’m not Musk or Bezos rich), but flagship Samsung and pro earbuds, Logitech trackball, jbl speakers, and headsets from Bose and Jabra. Now the BT receiver for the stereo, that was cheap Amazon garbage. I’ll give you that one.

I’m talking phones to cars (for hands-free and music), mice to desk and laptop, earbuds and headphones to both, keyboards to anything from computers to fire TVs, BT speakers, adapters for older receivers… They all suck. Multiple phones, devices and cars. (although the 2012 Chrysler was the worst so far, and the 2021 Subaru is better)

I will die on the hill that Bluetooth always has and always will suck ass. Pairing sucks. Latency sucks. Random-ass disconnects suck. Fuck Bluetooth in the neck sideways with a rusty screwdriver.

Any landing you can walk away from…
