Is there a better filesystem that is Mac and PC compatible? I’ve used ExFAT for that reason alone, but it’s a big one.

A New York Times/Siena poll released Monday shows Trump performing well in three key states, including a 5-point lead in the swing state of Arizona.

The poll also showed Trump up by 2 points in North Carolina and up by 4 points in Georgia. Former President Joe Biden beat Trump in both Arizona and Georgia in 2020 by a narrow margin.

The consistent rightward bump in these different states’ polls seems better explained by the commonality amongst them - the pollster, meaning a polling bias in the sample choices or methodology - rather than a change in Harris and Trump’s chances. But what do I know.

I mean, it’s clear that they’re trying to dissuade people from getting the vaccine. This surgeon general was known at the time he was appointed to be anti-vax: https://www.npr.org/2021/09/22/1039613351/desantis-florida-surgeon-general-vaccine-mandates

He’s super busy painting dog pictures.

“How dare the left accuse us of fascism, they’re the fascists! Now c’mon everyone, let’s conspire to fake vote totals so we can assert authority we didn’t earn.”

Is that text from an AI image interpreter? It’s pretty good, seems helpful for search and disabilities.

Republicans: Democrats need to start listening to middle America, the real America!

Republicans: -uhhh, no wait hold up

Unless you use a Vichyssoise fork. It’s all in the wrist.

That’s certainly the point she’s making to avoid giving a direct answer.

It’s just Trump’s typical defense - accuse the other side of what you’re doing before they can, so when they say it, it’s at worst a “both sides” issue to the public.

In court there’s such a thing as a directed verdict, and also ruling on an issue as a matter of law. Basically where there’s no reasonable jury that could decide otherwise, the judge directs the decision.

That’s kind of how I feel - not removing the democratic process obviously, but this is a situation you can be for Trump or reasonable, not both.

Just for fun: this would have worked so much better if they price dropped the PS5 and introduced the PS5 Pro at the old price.

People are anchored into thinking the PS5 is a certain value, and if they did that, it would instantly make the PS5 Pro and the PS5 appear to be a bargain, and so much of the PS5-owning public would have bought another system because it would be “such a good deal,” while PS5 fence-sitters would jump at the core system. I’m not trained to say for sure, but I think while their profit margin would be lower they’d be making much more money.

This isn’t quite “white whale” territory, but I’ve always wanted to play this game.

I miss the creative, quirky Dreamcast era and this seemed like one of the best, unfortunately region-locked, examples.

Kamala eventually got around to referencing his “love letters” to Kim Jong Un, but I was hoping so hard she would note that Mr. “I’m so powerful, they’re all afraid of me” saluted the guy.

“I’m not a puppet, you’re the puppet.”

I also feel like the moderators were relatively good at calling out egregious lies and not giving Trump the final word. Usually.

But yeah, Trump apparently controlled the mics, not the moderators.

Yeah, I watched Trump train the moderators live. They gave in once and then he would keep doing it more and more until they gave in every time.

Then Harris tried to get an extra response like Trump did near the end and they just ignored her.

They’re an English professor, in that they profess to speak English. I think their name was also very English, maybe Prof. John Barron?

I’m still just like, we all are looking at the same guy, right?

The obvious conman? The guy who said the 2020 election was stolen before voting even ended, and had been giving signals he wouldn’t accept the results unless he won months before? The guy who we heard tell Raffensberger to find the votes to steal the election for himself? The guy whose comms director sounds like a North Korean news anchor?

I feel like you just need a 7-year-old’s credibility detector to see the man is lying and not credible. It’s that hard? I can’t keep up with how quickly I need to lower my expectations.

This is what we should’ve spent every waking moment doing since 2016. Why do we distract so easily…
