Isn’t having a member of society being able to participate in that society a material gain? They can’t work and become a tax paying citizen if they can’t take part in the system.

Hindsight? I’m referring to polls that were widely available at the time.

His health decline was not sudden if you were paying attention. His aides were even trying to hide it.

And now you’re trying to move the goalposts. We’re not talking about all candidates, or voting trends, we’re talking about how Biden was an obviously bad candidate. You can avoid the topic and keep your head in the sand, it ultimately doesn’t matter anymore. What does matter is that we learn from that mistake moving forward. Have real primaries where the DNC doesn’t put their thumb on the scale and instead lets three voters choose who they want to vote for. It’s a very simple idea.

Except we can tell. He was the only candidate that polled even worse than Kamala. And you’re delusional if you think his health decline was sudden.

If it wasn’t for Covid, Biden wouldn’t have stood a chance. Then Biden completely fucked over 2024. He was not the best candidate.

People don’t understand how the military is the best social ladder in America and how desperate people are to climb it. I worked at Walmart before the military. After the military my first job was making 6 figures. I went from just over poverty, to in something like the top ~15% of earners.

It’s the gross incompetence that also makes him more susceptible to corruption.

It wasn’t a rocket… Two KC135s collided. One made it back.

Have fun with the interest rate you’ll get. You’ll inherently be a higher risk than someone with a good credit score.

Nah, I can be mad at the toxic people and the people over reacting. Both are too extreme reactions to each other.

That has a much more direct impact on more people. It seems many people struggle with the concept of empathy. I know that’s the case for my Trump supporting mom.

I definitely check the trunk. I haven’t in years, but I used to play hockey as a goalie. I would bring my equipment with and make sure it fits in the trunk. For reference I used an older version of this bag, definitely not a small thing and has definitely ruled out vehicles before. That’s also a major reason I love a hatch. Just far easier to get bulky things in and out. That said, it’s all personal preference. These days I bought the smallest, best tow capacity vehicle I could find which is a Hyundai Santa Cruz. Now it’s hard to imagine being a home owner without a small truck or minivan to get various supplies. My perfect vehicle has probably changed to be something like the Santa Cruz, but electric and maybe a foot more of bed length. The Slate looks too small and the Rivian is too big.

That is actually more interesting to me. Even a phone that could run some form of linux on it.

I would accept obnoxious. I don’t think it is obnoxious to add a comment to a forum, but I understand that viewpoint. I just think it’s a far way from toxic.

I’ll be honest, I also just don’t like Pixel devices. I’ve had 3 of them and every single one of them had terrible battery life. The Pixel 6 was one of those. I didn’t have that problem with any of my OnePlus or Samsung phones.

Industrial glue is on another level. The Cybertruck is a piece of trash, but modern epoxies are wild.

What a great leader. We all know the best leaders aren’t able to commit to things.

I don’t really want to give Google money because of this. They’ve been doing what a lot of corporations do, use open source as a cheat for good will and then change the license.

What phones are running Graphene?

I swore off sedans years ago. There were too many times with my Passat that o had something that would have easily fit in the trunk, but I couldn’t get it past the trunk lid. I’m a big fan of hatchbacks and wagons. The 5 is definitely the route I would have gone.

Yeah, exactly the “irony” part.
