Now do the congress letter sent to Amazon asking to fire Dan Clancy from twitch Twitter link.

I guess it’s only cancel culture when the left do it?

Now do congress letter to twitch about Hasan Twitter Link

Keep your shoes on, pal.

Elons two main businesses only exist because of government handouts. 7500 electric vehicle tax credit over 100,000s of cars is well into the billions. With how close Tesla came to insolvency, the ability to reach more customers surely saved Tesla.

And spaceX (and more money for starlink) he has got billions more directly and is slated to receive even more even though SpaceX has missed deadlines over and over and the goal of propping up SpaceX was so we could have a cheaper option than Russia to getting people to the ISS is now not even on the table.

What’s the over/under twitter gets government subsidies with some paper thin argument like “it’s the public square of the Internet, so it’s basically a park, and since we get 10x the yearly visitors than the grand canyon, we deserve 10x it’s budget to help maintain our “free speech” park”

Even if Dems won Michigan, they still lost Georgia and Pennsylvania. 5 million votes is a lot, but where those votes come from matter in our system

A lot of states expanded mail in voting. Probably removed a pretty large barrier of people who’d rather stay home than wait in line.

He used to talk a lot more about progressive ideas like being pro abortion, pro UBI and other government safety nets, and a bit libertarian of live and let live.

But if you ever watch him with Hasan, he will be convinced or fence sit on his previous statements. I honestly think because the majority of his audience is right leaning, he let himself parasocially be manipulated into echoing Trump all the time.

I don’t think he has real opinions, I think whoever he talked to last is how he forms his world view.

You only need simple majority to pass most bills. You need 60 votes to bypass any filibuster attempts (this is called cloture).

There’s also standing that “budget neutral bills over 10 years” need less red tape before being voted on.

I think they have what they need to repeal ACA, but not enough to shut down filibustering

“If you don’t tip don’t go out”? Telling people who want to see the tipping culture removed to not go out means that either way, the waiter doesn’t get tipped. Europe has restaurants, so clearly tipping or not tipping doesn’t dictate the existence of restaurants.

If a waiter works an entire shift and receives no tip, they are entitled to actual minimum wage instead of the reduced minimum wage. So there shouldn’t be any moral misgiving to not tipping, it’s just social pressure.

That is fighting with the employer. Tipping is what the employers want. That’s why my idea of “disobeying” was that this is when the movement to end US tipping culture makes sense. Europe has restaurants and they don’t have a tipping culture.

I don’t get why if I don’t tip that I’m the one starving the employee, and not the employer.

If wait staff stop getting tips, eventually they will strike or quit and the restaurants will have to change their model. My solidarity exists that if they strike then I won’t shop there until they agree to a compromise. I don’t see how the existence of the US’s unique tipping culture is our responsibility.

They aren’t a political pawn. This is what we want. This is what we voted for. It’s not my responsibility to pay their wages. If they don’t like their compensation, they can strike or look elsewhere for employment. Clearly trying to push for better compensation through law isn’t going to work.

Well, just picking Kamala was probably a better choice than having a contested open primary for 3 weeks leading up to the convention. People couldn’t even vote on that primary, it would just be a vibe check the superdelegates decided on.

I’m still feeling bitter and a fast food place last night asked me to tip, so it got me thinking that maybe this is the time to push out tipping culture. If the country wants the party of “fuck you, I got mine”, then fight your own battles for your wage.

Legally, if they don’t make minimum wage through tips then the employer has to make up the difference (in practice this likely doesn’t happen). Maybe it will make them care more about the minimum wage if it affects them.

I don’t think their vote even decided the race since Kamala lost PA and GA too. We shouldn’t blame them either, blame the DNC for running Biden a second term until the final hour.

The DOJ, through the FBI informants who communicated with Philippi for months, outlined the rough details of Philippi’s alleged plan, which it said was motivated by racial hatred. According to the DOJ, Philippi was connected with several white-supremacist groups

The FBI seemed to think he was connected with white supremacists, so I would imagine he’s pro Trump. Seems a bit of a stretch for a white supremacist to vote for a non white candidate.

I imagine as kids we eventually got through it on accident. Like out of frustration we mashed the down button to make our jump land harder and it actually worked xD

The spinning barrel at the end can be solved by jumping on it and holding Up or Down to match the direction of the barrel. It will make the bounce distance enormous enough to hop off on the down swing.

For example, you jump on the barrel and it naturally goes down, so you hold down. It will go down 20 pixels. As it starts to go back up, you hold up (no need to jump or anything) and it will go up 40 pixels. On the way down you hold down and it will go down 80 pixels. Repeat until the bounce goes so far down you hop off below with ease.

The numbers are made up, but the process is correct.

The only thing I would add is that with the electoral system, it’s not the candidate with the most electoral votes that win, it’s the candidate who gets half+1 votes (270 or more currently)

If candidate A wins 250 votes, candidate B wins 200 votes and candidate C wins 88 votes, candidate A does not win. If there is no winner, the house of representatives votes for president, each state getting one vote.

Another reason why third party presidential candidates are never serious contenders.

It’s actually more insidious. Blizzard facilitates gold buying by being a middle man. 30 days of wow subscription is $15. Blizzard sells a $20 wow token. Buyers of the token automatically sell it in game to players for gold. Players who sell their In game gold can redeem the token for game time or $15 Blizzard bucks, which can buy any virtual item in the Blizzard store. Games, expansions, and mounts such as this.

If you don’t want to spend $90 in real life, you can sell your gold for 6 tokens for $90 Blizzard bucks and get the mount.

The token has been hovering around $170k all month and now it spiked to almost $360k (token price tracker). So now cash buyers can get way more gold for their bucks, and the 6 tokens exchanged for gold (to buy the mount) will net Blizzard $120.
