  • SHOCK POLL: AOC a Close Second Place Behind Kamala Harris in 2028 Democratic Primary

  • Sure, but close doesn't get you the seat.

  • was less than 2% behind

    You wouldn't believe how many people say it was a "blowout".

    To me, if it was a baseball game and one team did 2% better than the other, I don't think that'd be called a blowout, but the election was...

  • A woman can definitely be president in America. But as long as people like you blame the losses on that, the actual reasons these candidates are losing will never be fixed.

    I agree, I can't say this is 100% a cope but it's a partial cope. Look at when "Ghostbusters" was rebooted. I'm sorry, that's a really terrible film. However, at the time, if you said that you were likely to get someone to pop up and say "That's just because you hate women!" No, that's because that movie was fucking horrible and happened to have women in it. How many people are still watching that film now? Is it remembered fondly?

  • If Kamala couldn't beat Trump, and AOC is behind her... does that mean she'd win?

  • Trump's polling problem: Voters no longer blame economy on Biden

    Jump

  • True believers will blame anyone and everyone else but Trump. It's been amusing watching the excuses get more and more convoluted. It's especially ridiculous because several times on the run-up to the election, Trump mentioned that if he had ONE DAY in office, he'd fix things.

    Now he's in and it's either "well, things are real tricky" or "Biden has crippled us for generations". Totally embarrassing, but it's nothing I didn't expect.

  • Amazing how referring to people by their perceived flaws can be offensive

    I mean, isn't this common sense? If you work for me and bring me some sub-par work, I can call you a fucking retard, and you'll probably be offended. On the other hand, if I pull you aside and say that usually you do excellent work, but I'm not liking this, and here's a couple ideas to improve your work, you might look upon that more fondly.

    In both scenarios, I'm communicating that I'm not happy with you and/or your work, but one is likely to lead to an HR incident and one isn't. How is this "woke"? (I fucking hate that term, because it tends to be use as shorthand for "stuff I don't like", but no two people seem to share definition beyond that)

  • I think a big part of the problem with NFT is that they are so abstract people don't understand what they can and cannot do. Effectively, with NFT, you have people that hold a copy of a Spiderman comic in hand and believe they own all forms of spiderman.

    Essentially, when you boil it down, you can turn this into "it's provable that individual X has possession of NFT identifier x,y,z". It's kind of like how you can have the deed to a piece of property in your desk, but that doesn't prevent 15 people from squatting on it.

    It's so abstract you can use it to fleece people. Even after 2 years of hype, people STILL do not understand them properly.

  • Ironically, retard was originally a kinder word cooked up to describe people with lower intelligence, along with moron, idiot, cretin, and imbecile. Over time these became pejoratives. Just kind of interesting to see how language develops and terms intended to avoid offense over time turn into ones that offend people.

  • The "should" in that sentence is why I keep Windows 11 laptop around. Approximately 100% of the EXEs on there work vs with Photon where it starts up, but I get a bug and then I wonder if that's a problem with the game, or if I have some setting right.

    Now when I want to game, I just game. No more fiddling. The Windows 11 laptop sits quietly in a bag until I want to play a game, I use it for that, and then put it back away until I want to have fun. My workflow has 0% dependency on Windows and that's how I like it now.
