His biggest running joke is that he can’t use contractions. It would be nice if one day he tells everyone that he didn’t think they’d fall for it for so long.

Lal was using contractions in like a week and that was before her brain melted.

Its height depends on the angle you’re looking at it… like any normal M.C. Escher abomination.

If the device doesn’t have Internet access I don’t want it to have DST built in. Time changes can be dependent on changes in your government. We’ve already had its start date changed years ago. Recently there’s even been some vocal officials talking about ending it entirely.

The answer is probably “yes”

1. Food is probably worse.
2. Your taste buds might have changed.
3. Your gut bacteria might be different.

I have a couple reasons for believing each.

1. Nutrient concentration in food has decreased over time (Veritasium talked about a fascinating explanation for this) and the desire to find low cost alternatives like HFCS over cane sugar changes the taste of food.
2. “Children prefer higher levels of sweet and are more sensitive to bitter tastes until adolescence.”
3. Your gut microbiome literally changes over time.

None of this makes sense anymore. How could people possibly be shocked this time? It happened before under less favorable circumstances.

He probably didn’t. He was polling very well. Very well. Better than his last two elections for a long time. People pretended he couldn’t win and I admittedly didn’t think they’d do that since that’s exactly what happened in 2016.

Simply assuming the election was stolen will be a mistake because that mindset will help Republicans win their next election. The voters wanted an irreparably changed supreme court and Trump functionally immune from prosecution and that’s what the voters got.

You’re right, but I think it was a combo.

October 7th spilled a bunch of gasoline on the ground. (Almost immediately after that day his polling trailed Trump’s.)

His debate performance dropped a lit cigarette.

In my opinion, you really needed both of those things for him to drop out. A physically struggling Biden that’s polling at 60% would’ve stayed in the race. A Biden with an excellent debate performance that was polling at 45% would’ve stayed in the race.

They’re not done counting. There’s a decent chance he has more votes this time.

According to Forbes, Musk is currently #1 and Arnault is #4.

This doesn’t make sense. How could the “Abandon Harris” movement start late last year when Harris wasn’t even the candidate?

Watch her other interviews. She’s always nervous and fidgety. She claims she gets uncomfortable doing those staged interviews for press circuits.

I know it’s not the point, but it’s weird to call things “9/11 scale attacks” when you consider how many buildings were leveled in Gaza.

Your analogy requires a powerful faction of people in Poland directly shooting rockets at Russian-occupied Ukraine. Still a significant event, but this descent continually shows the problem with analogies.

They are programmatically token predictors. It will never be “closer” to intelligence for that very reason. The broader question should be, “can a token predictor simulate intelligence?”

what’s easier? Convincing everyone you know to download signal or whatsapp or matrix or whatever or having that built into the text app [convincing everyone to buy the same phone].

FTFY

When presented this way, the choice is very different.

Yeah, that pretty much aligns with what I thought. A comment downvoted to -122.

First part is true, but irrelevant since it’s a blue district like I tried to explain to the other dude. When I say blue, I mean she more than doubled her next closest opponent (the Republican candidate)'s votes. It would be a waste of AIPAC’s money from their perspective.

Second part sounds like fan fiction because the users on Lemmy I’ve interacted with don’t sound like people who want to see a solidly blue district turn red.

That’s a primary. Different places have primaries at different times.

Yeah it does, because in the general election, she’ll be the only Democrat. That’s the purpose of the primary.
