Didn’t Democrats raise a record amount of money this election cycle? And they were supposed to use it to get out the vote?
Harris only had months of campaigning, while Trump had over a year. That alone put her at a massive disadvantage, since much of the vote is often decided (in people’s minds) well before the elections.
But the reality is, as long as 50%+ are OK being in a cult run by an incoherent madman, they’ll ignore the self-harm and keep voting the same way.
I guess we can only hope that the leopards absolutely massacre those who gave him this power. Democracy will fall all over the world because of this, and his groupies won’t have a pot to piss in once his “concepts” are put into action.
It doesn’t matter what he says.
It really doesn’t. Just watch a rally, in full, and try to summarise one topic he addressed. Just one.
You can’t, because he babbles incoherently. He knows nothing about any of the topics that he stumbles into.
The only time his words can be understood, provided he doesn’t go off script, is when he’s reading what someone else wrote for him!
It makes me wonder how people can travel like one timezone over and not have crippling issues because of it.
It’s likely not the change with the DST that messes people, but the obsession with worrying about it that does.
Rich coming from the party of voter suppression…
Just wait until everyone is forced to wear screens on their faces 24/7, because that’s the way tech companies want us to live. I’m not being sarcastic, either.
There’s a reason why so many people consciously choose to “disconnect” when they want a mental break. If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?
This is not personal emissions of billionaires, its including their businesses.
The Oxfam report says that private planes and “superyachts” are contributing factors, as well as investments in polluting industries like oil and mining.
Nowhere does it mention that their businesses are what’s contributing to their carbon footprint. They are explicitly talking about their lifestyle choices.
So, I’m not sure where you got that info from, but if they are including businesses that these billionaires run, I’d be interested in seeing that data.
Mind you, the majority of these billionaires are in software… a business that’s very easy to convert over to a carbon-neutral model, especially with their resources.
This infuriates me.
I would actually love to do more to REDUCE my carbon footprint, but it’s prohibitively expensive to.
But billionaires (and millionaires) can literally greenify every aspect of their lives, even be carbon-neutral or carbon negative! But they choose not to.
I think taxing the rich just isn’t enough. We need to CAP the rich. There should be no billionaires.
These are the tips that the Kleenex company doesn’t want you to know! LOL
If you feel a sneeze coming on, pinch the soft tissue at the bridge of your nose. For me, this stops a sneeze 99% of the time.
Homeboy is 80, he’s heading out.
He’s either a healthy 80-year-old, or a sick one in decline.
We all know he’s the latter. He just needs to admit it so we can all move along.
I’d say it’s more linked to how many dependents you have, rather than money in the bank.
Someone with no kids, no wife spouse (edit), and no pets can be spontaneous without a second thought.
Someone who’s tied down, but wealthy, not so much.
I care about other people’s kids. I want them housed, fed, clothed, etc.
I want my tax dollars to improve other’s lives so they have what they need to be self-actualized human beings.
I won’t let them get hurt at the playground if I can help it.
I watch them when they cross the street to make sure they do it safely.
Oh geeze, yeah, I hope that what I wrote didn’t come off as “not caring” about the wellbeing of other people’s children, because that’s absolutely not what I meant!
What I mean is that most people don’t get excited about when someone else’s child just spoke their first word, or took their first step. They really don’t, because it’s not a milestone that impacts that person’s life in any meaningful way.
When someone sends you baby picture after baby picture, or their kid’s school trip photos… nobody actually “cares” about those things. It occupies no space in their head past that brief moment they were told about it. That’s what I mean.
If those things make you happy, there’s nothing wrong with that, either!
Do cute kids put a smile on my face? Of course. But do I care that an acquaintance’s child now uses the potty? Not. At. All.
Some flashlights I own have a lockout feature to prevent this from happening accidentally.
The one bike light that doesn’t have this lockout mode, or the ability to disconnect the battery by unscrewing the cap, burned through a dry bag I had it in…
Still a good light, but I had to tape a metal ring over the on/off button, so this never happens again.
I don’t mind a long-click to turn off/on, and a short click to move between SOLID modes (high/low). But for the love of Christ and all the saints, any strobe mode should be a special key combination (i.e. double click).
Flashlights that have you moving through multiple strobe modes before you can get to a different brightness level, or before you reach “off” are infuriating.
Some are absurdly bad in this regard!
“Oh, you want to reduce the brightness? Scroll through 7 modes, including 4 epileptic seizure-inducing strobe modes, before you can get to low brightness mode.”
Very, very, VERY few people actually care about other people’s kids. And that interest only goes up slightly when they are related to the child.
Nothing wrong with you feeling that way.
As for vacations, life events, etc., I’m interested in knowing what goes on in my friend’s lives… that’s kind of what having a friend is about.
BUT… I’m interested in hearing about these things face to face. I couldn’t care less if they’re just social media spam about what they did with their spouse. That’s one reason why I stopped using social media.
They will choose to stop if it doesn’t make them money. 😀
But yes, not allowing them to do this in the first place would be a very reasonable thing to fight for.
Everyone should enter these stores dressed up like it’s Payday (the video game) until they stop with this facial recognition nonsense.
Yeah, because google is vague.
Not sure what “100” means, but that’s what it peaked at.
