I'm tempted to really believe in Biden taking the loss and just going absolutely balls to the walls with harsh ads aimed at the GOP and Trump, hitting dozens of speaker events at high levels of energy, and becoming what we wish the Democratic party would become to win this thing.

Realistically though, I'd prefer a sound, harder left leaning, less bipartisan nominee. It's a safer and surer bet, unfortunately.

I don't suppose you've heard what's happened with the trans bathroom tip line in Texas? Cause I got bad news for you...

Tip: Always write over things you don't want seen in the same color they were originally written in, if you can't completely redact it. This fucks with our brain's ability to distinguish a pattern, which is all reading really is anyway.

You didn't answer my question. Let's try a different one. Once again without copping out: Give us a couple good reasons for why a book should be restricted in education.

Soooo a game, which is not paid for nor developed by the community, and is rather purchased with the knowledge that it is a difficult game which will require ample skill to surpass its many challenges, should put in difficulty sliders despite them fundamentally going against the very nature of the game itself?

Good on you for calling your Mom.

I treat AI the same way I've always treated Google: ~~WITH ABSOLUTE DISDAIN~~ Using them as a shove in the right direction and for research purposes to supplement research already being done. ChatGPT for instance is actually pretty decent at figuring out vaguely defined things if worked through. Is it perfect? Hell no. It can help narrow down the options though.

Which books do you believe shouldn't be provided in a classroom setting?

No copouts. I don't think anyone expects a bunch of 3rd graders to have a discussion on 50 Shades of Grey.

So I'm not going to go into detail. Instead I'm going to ask you to truly challenge your belief here and look into it personally. Consider the interest rates, average wage, rate of inflation, and total cost for rent and other bills. Factor in food and gas costs appropriately.

Out of curiosity: How much do you make and what are your monthly expenses?

There are lots of great answers here so I want to post something entirely silly and much much more recent:

About 8-9 years ago someone on Reddit transcribed and revised the entirety of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven to instead be about an Emu.

For the life of me I have never been able to find it again.

I do that shit when I have a web interview. Put up a guitar just visible in the camera, a small bookshelf, a floor lamp, make sure my tennis bag is visible despite not playing in ages...

Whether they realize it or not, people do take this stuff in. Not sure why some algorithm based on these very same interviews wouldn't do the same.
