I think people underestimate how much the Clinton name helped her even when the sexism hurt her. Beyond maybe Michelle Obama now, I can’t think of any other woman out there likely to perform as well as Hilary did. During the race, I heard more than one person make comments along the lines of “If she’s in trouble, she can just call her husband”. She definitely got a lot more points from the Clinton name than she lost for being a woman. It’s a sad world sometimes, yall.

I personally think Bill Clinton’s brother Roger could have won that race even with all his controversies and the fact that he has zero qualifications.

That’s 20km, only about 12 miles.

Wow, republicans losing Texas, that would be a hell of a win if Colin could pull it off.

It’s kind of sad, but we have to temper expectations on both of the candidates. These two both hit retirement age over a decade ago and we’re trying to put them in potentially the most stressful job in the nation.

• Hostilities were mostly over, but these two were technically alive during World War 2.
• The first meeting of the United Nations was after these two were born.
• The current incarnation of India as a country is younger than these two.
• They’re both older than NATO.
• We only had 48 states when these two were born.
• These two were already out of high school when Martin Luther King delivered his speech.

I could just keep going forever on these. I am not sure that this is the job for anyone so far removed from their prime.

I’m also wary of any poll that shows such a strong showing for Kamala Harris. Not saying it’s wrong, it legitimately looks like it’s got a lot of good data, but every other poll I’ve seen has been fairly unfavorable to the idea of her running against Trump.

I do feel like we may have hit a time where the groups classifying CVEs are a bit desperate for numbers. It’s really hard to tell the legitimate ones from the ones where it’s like “If you had tiny gremlins with soldering irons living inside your PC, its possible they might be able to determine what year your computer thinks it is. The gremlins are assumed to have full domain admin access”.

Going to be honest my friend, it’s been awhile and i’ve gained a bit of weight since I bought some of these tanks tops. I am way ahead of you on that one.

There’s a lot of books out there that I think are famous because they’re exceptionally shitty just in a different way than is typical. Same way I personally feel about Ulysses, It’s not a literary puzzle, it’s just a shitty book where the author tried something stupid and then just kinda kept going. I think Nabokov is a bit more effective, but it’s along the same vein.

That’s a fair point. Microsoft says that they don’t… but, not that they can’t. It’s especially tricky on iOS.

I’m not a fan of Andrew Tate, but we really got to lay off the hate on wife beaters. Tank tops are real comfy yall.

I found a guy on linkedin that has the same name, just slot him in and pretend nothing happened, wouldn’t even have to change any of the campaign marketing. Dude looks to be in his 20s and manages a coffee place, definitely more than qualified.

I admire your optimism, but even if you aren’t willing to bend the rules and stick to the letter of the ethics rules, you can still use campaign funds for a fairly broad amount of items. And, if you are willing to bend the rules… when’s the last time you heard of someone getting in trouble for misuse of campaign funds? If you remember one at all, i’d wager it was George Santos, and it took a huge amount of misuse there for people to start paying attention.

If your net worth is negative, in 9 years it’s only half as negative.

I think we’ve been operating on the false assumption that the Democratic partys primary goal is to win. I would wager that as far as campaign contributions go, it’s likely better for them financially if they barely lose. I feel like the past few presidential races have been the American populace trying to force them to win anyways when they obviously didn’t want to.

A lot of their decisions make a lot more sense in that context.

The ‘But, everyone is a bit evil’ argument is such bullshit, the concern here is obviously the extent of the surveillance, but no one can say you’re entirely wrong because the definition of that is so broad.

It’s kind of technical, but there are comparisons on the report itself, even a fancy table, to other popular shopping apps and there are some legitimately troubling items. For anyone else, I’d recommend skipping direct to the source:

I know it’s kinda hard to quantify and fireworks can be overpriced, but street value up to 10 million and 150,000 pounds puts that at around $67 a pound per fireworks. I know that’s also a weird metric to use for fireworks, but that feels pretty high.

If I have to choose between keeping nature around and not having to buy an iron again, is gonna be a tough choice.

Probably doesn’t matter. Having worked similar jobs in the past there’s usually a question along the lines of how you feel about the company overall and if you answer negatively the whole survey counts against them and it sometimes only takes 2 or 3 of those in a month for them to get fired.

Turnover is intentionally exceptionally high and employees aren’t usually treated that well. Pay was pretty great comparatively at the time though.

Plex operates a service on their end that mostly covers you if you fuck up the network routing. It’s probably the least user friendly part of the setup, so kind of a big deal.

There are resellers in the US who will set you up with the infrastructure to do it yourself. You don’t need much and it’s less expensive than you’d think, almost turnkey.

Demand is more than high enough in poor areas too, they probably made a really good return before it shut down.
