I don’t think those are the same people saying that. People who know how the math works for third parties also know why it happens and what the solution is.

One thing that should be abundantly clear from this election is that a lot of people are badly misinformed. They have little conception that third parties even exist or if they do, they don’t care.

Do they still think they can find a white guy in Trump’s orbit who hasn’t sexually assaulted someone?

That’s fair. I do get annoyed at other comments like “if you didn’t figure out how to resolve the Paradox of Tolerance the first time you saw it, you’re fascist”. It doesn’t leave room for people to grow.

He’s not white, but other than that, I thought these points were obvious. You’re not supposed to like him.

I refuse to apologize.

It’s retconned that way. There’s nothing that directly connects the serpent of Genesis, the one “roaming throughout the earth” in Job, and the character of Satan later on. Satan wasn’t developed as a character until after the Babylonian Exile. You can make it all fit, but the text alone doesn’t say that and the writers didn’t think of it that way.

Get this: there’s some people who think it’s canon that the serpent is Satan. Just connecting up two characters from different parts of the writing completely at random.

Sometimes, late at night, the Jizz band starts playing more schmaltzy. Schmaltzy Jizz.

I have a pretty good scale, but it doesn’t register below 2.5g. You either need a different kind of scale for that sort of thing, or spend a lot of money on a lab-grade scale that can do both light and (relatively) heavy.

Specifically, you don’t qualify for those cuts if you’re a W2 employee. You can if you’re a 1040. Because of the way Covid worked out, that ended up meaning a whole lot of people got chopped off from a tax cut they otherwise would have had.

I had been working from home before Covid as a W2. The credit wasn’t big; it amounted to a few hundred bucks for the year. But it’s not nothing, and I always remember it when MAGA says Trump cut your taxes.

FWIW, the US currently thinks it’s an IRBM, not an ICBM, basically for that reason. Why use an ICBM here? But Russia might have done it just because they can.

A fizzle yield would still destroy a few city blocks and spread radiation around. It turns an expensive, proper nuclear bomb into a large dirty bomb.

If it even is an ICBM. Ukraine says it’s an ICBM, and they’re 90% confident about that. The US thinks it’s an IRBM, which given the range involved, would make more sense. If it’s an ICBM, then Russia did it just out of spite.

Also, the landlord is dropping that money into an asset that often appreciates in value. As long as they otherwise have cashflow to cover it, they can afford to “lose” money each month and make a big payday when they sell it.

Winamp had a bunch of other issues with code they didn’t own being stuck in that repo. Github encourages FOSS licenses, but doesn’t require it.

as much as this guy sounds like an asshole should ownership not mean u can modify your own property as u see fit?

Not when your actions affect others, no.

Sorta. This thing was basically a horse carriage with an electric motor. If you build it light and don’t expect it to go much faster than a horse at a trot, then yes, you can have a perfectly functional electric car with decent range way back then.

“I’m not a snowflake, you’re the snowflake”

There’s a vineyard in Door County Wisconsin (the peninsula on Lake Michigan) that makes wine out of blackberries and blueberries and such. Even those get an extra shot of sugar added before fermentation.

It’s hard to match the sugar content of wine grapes. We’ve been tuning those varietals for a long time.

Trump’s popularity isn’t an inherent trait,

It is, actually. Fascisim is about The Guy. It is only about The Guy. Everyone else is expendable. Vance will not pull the kind of support that Trump can, and neither will DeSantis.

You can see this in how people voted. There are a bunch of states this cycle where Trump won their EC votes, but a Democrat won a statewide election. What appears to have happened is that a whole lot of people marked Trump on their ballot and walked away. There’s no push to support anyone other than Trump.

The Germans kept fighting until Hitler offed himself. Then they capitulated almost immediately. Italy was done as soon as Mussolini ran away; almost all fighting that continued to happen inside Italian territory was with German units, not Italian.

Vance would try to take over, but he can’t conjure up the kind of loyalty Trump has. The MAGA brownshirts are behind Trump enough that news media figures and politicians are fearing for their own safety. That dissolves the moment Trump is gone.
