Harris is missing 10 million votes that Biden got in 2020. It looks like many of those 10 million were suburban men who didn't vote Trump, just sat on the couch. misogyny is a viable explanation for this because otherwise you'll have to explain why Biden set the left on fire, or why Biden was so inspirational to men.

She lost the scrote vote, simple as that.

Eugenics is the single stupidest idea in human history. To advocate for it now is to deny biology and history.

It relies on the same misunderstanding of evolution that underpins 'great replacement theory'.

It turns out that it's hard to tell the future. Polls have to make assumptions and the safest assumption is that this election is going to look like elections in the past. From the early voting data, we know that this election isn't like 2016, or 2020, and what that tells us pretty reliably is that the polls are wrong.

This is how Trump got an upset in 2016, he turned out loads of people who normally don't vote, and were therefore underrepresented in the polling. It is likely that many of these same voters are going to sit it out this year while all the polls are counting them double.

Why does "freedom of expression" always mean "let's hear the Nazi out" in practice?

Is it equivalent to burning the cross? The Swedish flag?

Not all flammable things are the same. The flag and cross are literal symbols of State power in Sweden, the Quran is a book that's only precious to an oppressed minority.

I don’t feel like someone burning my symbol or flag should be punished with prison

I wanna stress that the people sentencing this man to jail are not the same as the people offended by the burning. This power dynamic is important.

inappropriate sexual behavior

You're not 'taking responsibility' if you can't even use the words that describe the act your guilty of.

It would be funny if this guy dies and Jesus says, sorry, you have to go to hell. Yes, we forgave you, but only for the inappropriate sexual behavior that you confessed to. You're still on the hook for rape.

This is what Tucker has to do these days just to get people like us to talk about him again. He used to have the prime time FOX slot. Now he hosts a show on Twitter (formally X). That's like going from sold out stadium shows to headlining a half empty ballroom on a cruise ship.

What other weird beliefs does Tucker have? Where does he think microwaves go when you open the door?

There is not more danger now than there was centuries ago

The way you describe American history as "centuries" like we're the Roman Empire or Egypt when we've only got 2.5 centuries to choose from.

These are the actions of a weak dictator terrified that his enemies sense his weakness. Works on the same principal as lifted trucks.

Somebody should tell JD Vance that watermelon jokes are older than political correctness, by about a hundred years.

(they date back to reconstruction when watermelon was one of the first cash crops the former enslaved people were farming)

I still haven't played Wasteland 3 or Divinity Original sin 2 even though I own both. And Balder's Gate 3 is due to get discounted at Christmas. At some point, you have to measure RPG purchases against your life expectancy.

Nobody wants to covalent anymore.

 
 

I use a box fan to help dry the dishes in the dishwasher. Recently I mistakenly pointed the fan away from the dishes instead of toward them. This appears to be faster and more effective than my normal method. Why?

Dishwashers won't clean these gaskets if they're washed while installed. Oh, and those silicone straws can come out of the dishwasher nasty too.

The Proud Boys have an initiation ritual where new members are beaten by the group until they can recite the names of five different breakfast cereals.

 
 
 

In recent events, I learned that some pagers only have receivers. How are discrete messages sent to these devices? How is it authenticated? How do they know the device got the message?
