For context, the Fifth circuit covers Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
It is literally ~60%-40% as of right now. I would hardly call that a crushing blow.
What is a pubnix?
Edit: Short for Public access UNIX apparently.
They literally just answered your question. Rhetorical questions don’t really transfer well online.
No, your not really wrong, it’s just the tone that comes off as blaming others for their failures.
There’s a place for that but it is IMO not really on a public forum. Praise in public and criticize in private is good life advice. Maybe your tone is unintentional due to the nature of internet text communication.
To me, it seems like you could stop and realize that making sound financial decisions isn’t as big of a factor to most people as it is to you. There is more to life than worrying about money.
Corporate media does hyperfocus on that but I don’t think it helps make our (North American) society happy. It distracts us with escapism and temporary happy emotions.
Thanks for sharing, I am seriously considering it. I just have a hard time justifying the purchase to myself. I kinda worry that I am just acting on a somewhat emotional fear of being watched.
That’s an email client. Do you have a email provider you like that is compatible with it?

I like it too. I wish I could compare it to current reddit, but I can only access it through old interface. And the current reddit is is too addicting to me to justify working around it.
I kinda hate that I like the sh version cause it will tempt me to sink time there.
Crimes of opportunity are not need based, they are want based. People take something because they want it and are unconcerned with the potential consequences of taking it. Even the cop quoted in your linked article admitted that 'Cars stolen for the purpose of committing another crime are not what’s behind the majority of thefts. ’
I would say my OC at least applies to the people who get caught. Maybe not always to those who actually do the crime.
I call it virtue signaling. It’s the same idea, just a clearer term for it.
Do those mythical organized thieves really exist? I think 80+% of crimes are crimes of opportunity done by vulnerable people like crackheads, mentally ill, or other low income people.
Politicians passing laws based on things they don’t understand?
aka virtue signaling

Of course. The problem is that when someone says one thing is another thing, that is not obviously metaphorical. Maybe you’d be able to tell in person but not through text where the message is monotonized and broadcasted to the entire internet.
Motorola’s pretty decent in this respect, ime.
I agree with your general point that third party votes don’t matter nationally. This is kinda blunt, but you are making the false assumption that Party politicans are entitled to everyone’s votes. You can’t remove a vote that was never casted for a particular candidate.
“The rhetoric isn’t misleading.”
It is to me. A vote for an independent candidate does not in any way, shape, or form count as a vote for Trump. They are not the same thing.
It is a fact that a vote for an independent candidate is not tallied the same as a vote for trump. It is nonsense to say they are the same. It’s like saying a vote for Hawaiian pizza is a vote for Pepperoni Pizza. It is hokum.
I never advised anyone to vote for an independent candidate. I am simply correcting your misleading rhetoric.
Good advice on focusing locally for third parties.
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple voters. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.
