Didn't you say that you couldn't vote for who you wanted to vote for a while back? All while wringing your hands about Democrat censorship because your party couldn't be assed to properly register and fulfill the requirements for appearing on the ballot?

Pepperidge Farm Remembers.

So, if you couldn't vote for your third party candidate, who did you vote for?

I fully expect that "gaining" we're seeing will shift as reputable pollsters release updated polls this week and drown out the ring-wing polls that flooded the data the last 2 weeks.

You do know that the electronic vote counts are audited, right?

There's a process to validate that the machines are counting correctly.

Is that farmer flannel or grunge flannel?

Yes, and?

"Highly masculine" comes off as "toxic masculinity".

Having to parade your manliness and let people know you're "so manly" isn't a sign of insecurity at all.

It's like those guys that are "so masculine" that they don't wipe their asses cus it's gay or something.

That's a laughable bad take.

The left, known for picking apart their candidates and platforms and fucking themselves by letting perfect the enemy of good repeatedly being called out as "cult-like".

I'm voting for Harris. But lemme tell you, I've got issues with her. Especially her history as "pro cop".

The thing is, many people on the left vote for "harm reduction". We know there's better candidates out there, but we're stuck with what we've got in the FPTP voting we have.

Objectively, voting for Harris will cause the least harm in this election.

Especially if our alternative is a ratfucking tyrant that wants to be a "dictator", wants to "ban protests", revoke the broadcast licenses of media outlets critical of him & his party, would authorize Israel to wipe out Gaza with our direct support of our troops, would consolidate wealth to the top, and is openly working with the deranged likes of a man that dreams of making his workers indentured servants and would push the USA to reflect apartheid South Africa to relive the glory his father did.

WTF is "Blue MAGA"?

I don't see people on the left holding onto what was and getting stuck on reverting to times of old. Preventing the forward march of changing times.

My job here is done.

A few years back I was training to ride the Seattle to Portland in the 1-day format. Had a training regimen I put together and was steadily progressing and building endurance and strength.

One day I go on a training ride on a very cold and rainy December day in Seattle. Decide to take the trail that rides through the train yard then pedal up to the docks.

As I'm riding along the trail there's this segment that crosses some train tracks at an angle. The temperature is also colder here next to the shore than by my home and the rain here is mixed with snow.

Having ridden this segment dozens if not a couple hundred times in rain or shine, I didn't think too much of it. However the added mix of snow and colder temps caused those rails to become the slickest surface known to man.

I come up to the gentle curve at speed, my front tire hits the rail of the track and my bike goes sideways while I continue moving forward. I land in puddle on my right side and then the water acts like a slip-N-slide on the blacktop and I proceed to slide along the trail at speed and slam head first, which deflected to the side, then followed up to my right shoulder, into a bollard.

I was wearing a helmet when this happened and I still laid dazed in that cold ass puddle for a good 2-3 minutes before standing up, pulling myself together, and called my wife to pick me up and take me to the ER to get the confirmation that I had a concussion and to rule out anything worse. My shoulder was also bruised and sore for a good week.

Even with the helmet, I had memory issues for 6-10 months.

If I weren't wearing a helmet I'm not sure I'd be here telling this story. If I were to have survived I would have had some serious trauma and recovery if not permanent damage.

Madison Square Garden is a private event venue. They can accept or deny anybody they like. Their acceptance, or rejection, of a political candidate will also have nothing-to-fucking-do with "democracy" or free speech.

Sealion infestations are problematic. Be sure to call your local exterminator promptly whenever you encounter one.

Our biggest offender would, but they're currently serving a 3-day ban for Sealioning (public mod logs are awesome).

Ughhhhhhhhh. Sorry, but I need to rant.

Those fuckers are so fucking sensationalist. They use the same simple-mined tactics as right-wing propaganda mills. A 20 minute video of theirs could be condensed into 5 without those tactics and actually do far more to push forward their "law based coverage".

I quickly put them in the "not worth the sensationalist propaganda" bucket after watching a handful of their videos

I'm not surprised.

Have you seen the scammers on other social media platforms? MLM schemes, love scams, charging a fuck-to of money to teach people how to write entry letters to casino sweepstakes for "free" online casino coins.

I can only imagine what a place that starts with gathering together people that view life as a zero-sum game develops for scamming and ripping people off.

Please don't gaslight us. It's a terrible look.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to uninstall OneDrive & Teams from my work computer thanks to a Windows update reinstalling them. My IT director is getting frustrated by it too because he has to keep updating GP and other tools to prevent them from showing up and users inadvertently putting shit into the MS Cloud accidentally because OneDrive likes to insert itself the default documents folder.

I also prefer my start bar to be on the left hand side of my left-most monitor in vertical orientation (I run a tri-montior setup in a tie fighter configuration).

As already stated, the new right-click menu is also ass, and I keep having to fix it to get the actual fucking options I want/need without having to click a button to "show more options" from a menu that loads noticeably slower, or shift-right-click to get the intended menu.

There's a ton of other little annoyances, like removing or relocating configuration flows with inferior tools that don't support everything that used to be configurable. AI search in my start bar (so glad for PowerToys Run).

Windows 11 has done a great job at removing user control over their OS by forcing changes (often inferior to the old version/way) and forcing optional software installs (just wait til Recall is sitting on everybody's machine).

Things that are nice: A better networking stack, blue tooth management, and a powerful built-in windows layout manager (Snap Layouts)

One rule Reddit Politics had that I loved was the "No Concern Trolling" rule.

That combined with a general bad faith argument rule would clean this kind of trolling up real quick.

The fact that this community hasn't implemented these kind of rules has been sad. However, it's not like we're flooded with this type of content. But that doesn't mean it's not an issue

There's a ton of work in green energy and water management.

When Harris wins, there will be even more federal funding being dumped into these sectors. However a ton of that work is either going to be labor intensive or require a specific education (or both).

Also, the software engineering field isn't going to be replaced by AI any time soon (if ever). What will happen is that AI will become a tool of skilled engineers to increase their output efficiency, consistency, and quality.

It was only a kiss...
