My kids get upset when I tell them that any particular piece of media (I’m SO TIRED of certain Disney movies) isn’t available. They have quite literally tens of thousands of choices that I never had growing up with broadcast TV only.

Uh. Second. Putin LOVES his pet Trump.

This was my takeaway also. As if Chromium and all It’s derivatives are just going to not use daddy Alphabet’s ai tech.

I won’t even click on Twitter links, let alone actively visit. You should do the same.

Any chance I get!

I was a proud third party voter for a long time but changed my mind after watching CGPGrey’s video about first past the post. It’s not really ABOUT trying to change minds but FPTP voting rules really do mean that a two party system is bound to very basic human psychology.

And an undercount of women who are telling their husbands and anyone else who asks that they'll be voting Trump, but will actually vote for Harris when the time comes. And an undercount of bro-ski-s who claim to support Harris, but secretly hate the fact that they can't get a 'female' that will cater to their every whim and will vote Trump because he'll increase oppression of women. And an undercount of cat ladies.... etc. Most "high quality" models at least attempt to mitigate these over and undercounts, which definitely skews results, and why poll aggregators are important. It helps to eliminate biases in polling types. There's really only ONE poll that matters. VOTE! BRING YOUR FRIENDS!

I have NO idea about the actual answer. Is it possible that these are from different time-of-day readings?

Counterpoint: being in a room with Boromir, it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll be the one to die. It’s kinda like a form of plot armor.

No. Not even close to OK. There are examples of light in the darkness, such as Tim Walz (Kamala Harris' running mate) who as the governor of Minnesota enacted a law to make school lunches free for all. Kids don't get to decide who they are born to, and hungry kids don't learn nearly as well as fed kids. Educated kids help our future, so it's an extremely high ROI.

Hugely so. SO MANY HOURS of PacMan, Space invaders, Missile command Joust, Donkey Kong, Mario Brothers, and a lot more. I still have one (not my original) that functioned about 5 years ago when I last dug it out.

I saved up a lot my lawn-mowing dollars to buy an Atari 2600.
