Not exactly related to the question, but as a non-native English speaker, whenever I read something related to weights in imperial, e.g., 150 lbs, my mind reads it as 150 lubes.

I know it’s pounds, if I would read it out loud, I would say pounds cause I’m not a weirdo (well…). But still, my internal monologue has lbs = lubes

Clearly you don’t understand the first-past-the-post system the US presidential election utilises.

The chance isn’t just slim. It’s astronomical.

The chance of Cornell West winning is probably smaller than a bit-flip happening, switching your vote to another candidate. That’s how little chance your vote would have to make the country a better place.

On the other hand, every vote not casted for the only viable non-Trump candidate helps Trump.

I’m European and would love for you to have the option to vote for proper social democrats or greens (especially greens!). But please, every US citizen needs to do their part to not get fascists get hold of your country.

It’s sad to say, but if you don’t vote for the democratic candidate, you might not have a chance to vote 3rd party in 4 years. (I don’t like fear mongering, but it’s a real enough possibility)

Thanks! I knew I must have missed it, but couldn’t find it.

Shouldn’t you ask for the cat’s age as well as the recordings? Or did I read over that?

It might be worthwhile to gather some other information about the cat, like whether they’re indoor or outdoor cats, former strays or not,…

Would this not be considered as “providing comfort to insurrectionists”, as described in the 14th amendment. Even just promising pardoning them.

So even if they argue he supposedly wasn’t involved in it, it would still disqualify him from office.

I’m hoping they’ll rule against him as well, but these reasons seem way out there.

1. That’s assuming they believe he’ll go full fascist and execute them. They don’t. Even if they would believe that, ruling in his favour would prove their worth to him.

2. I see no way that democrats could dissolve the SC. They probably wouldn’t even if they could.

Probably saying that neither conflict would have happened if he was re-elected/“the dems didn’t steal the election”.

They basically did this with Salazar, the Portugese dictator.

He was officially replaced while in a coma. He came out of it and lived for almost 2 years more. No one ever told him he was no longer in power.

When the call is coming from inside the (white) house…

(Edit: to be clear, back in 2020)

I chose to believe it’s a but using Musk’s LLM.

Which does make for a fun game:

Grok bot or Crack pot?

While I would agree under normal circumstances, that would just be abused in the current political atmosphere.

Republicans are now already trying to impeach Biden for some made up reason while knowing it will never stick in the senate. Can you imagine how much more effort they’d spent in it if it would prevent Biden from running for reelection.

Everything Trump has done should be enough to make him unelectable in the eyes of the voters, even if it doesn’t legally prevent him from running.

The reason there is a difference in how much light is reflected, is because the moon is in a different position. During a new moon, it’s on the day side of the earth (so in between the sun and the earth) while during a full moon, it’s on the night side.

So there could theoretically be a gravitational effect, although I don’t think it would impact anyone’s sleep.

If anyone is noticing a difference in sleep quality, it’s most likely indeed to do with the amount of light.

Most played artist on Spotify and Time’s person of the year 2023 vs… who? Someone whose name I recognise in the context of being a right-wing nut. Whether they’re a politician, musician, actor, podcast host,… I wouldn’t be able to say.

This is essentially a pro freedom of speech legislation.

It’s not though. It doesn’t just protect employers to call anyone whatever pronoun they want, it mandates that the preferred pronoun for trans people (and others) are not used.

It doesn’t just protect bigotry, it requires it.

Imagine being brainwashed bombarded on a daily basis with messages of how leftist will take over your country and how Trump will save them

Do you think farmers should not use any tractors and pick their crops using manual labour?

That would also create a lot of jobs.

Do you think they will add “Dark Brandon” write-ins to Biden’s tally?

He will be elected president through cheating, gerrymandering, and anything they can try

I’m not from the US, but doesn’t gerrymandering have no impact whatsoever on the presidential election? Only on the House, maybe on the Senate.

Gerrymandering is a big problem, but conflating it with other issues just detracts from your points.
