I’ve had one for years, use it often and honestly didn’t know it had an app until today.

I honestly didn’t know there was an app and use mine a few times a month.

They aren’t convinced at all. It’ll give them unwinnable court cases that they can use to rally their base for reelection who will be so mad their witch hunt isn’t successful they won’t notice the GOP fucking them from every which direction.

Yes, which is exactly why Republicans are making those crazy claims.

When the Saudi deals resurface in the public spotlight Republicans will point to those baseless claims and say “How is what the Trump kids doing any worse than this!?!?!?” and their followers will accept it at face value and say “See both sides are doing it, it’s bad but no worse than what the other guy is doing”

The crazy thing is nothing is preventing the 1/3 of people who think embryos are children from treating their frozen embryos as children.

Selling a large commercial asset is NOT what anyone wants to do right now. He would be selling at a loss and it would be a huge ego hit.

Additionally selling a large real estate property is exceptionally difficult to do in a short amount of time.

In New York State you have to front 110% of the money before you can appeal. So he would have to front $390M just to file the appeal.

His whole 2016 campaign raised $330M for context.

He’s also on record under oath saying he has $400M cash on hand meaning if he doesn’t actually have the cash on hand he perjured himself as well.

He offered Twitter more money than the company was worth with no due diligence.

The leadership of the board could have been sued by shareholders if they didn’t push Elon to actually pay over market value.

The end goal of any for profit leadership is to make as much money as possible and exit.

The question is do I vote in the Republican primary against Robinson or vote for the candidate that I like on the Dem ticket?

Home sweet home.

Any recommendations for PoE cameras?

There’s a great NPR podcast about this.

I much prefer the trickle of releases to a lump season dump.

It allows time to digest, discuss and catch up throughout the release schedule if you’re invested in the story. You can convince your friends to watch a few episodes to catch up and then watch the end of the season together. You can read fan theories online, formulate your own, and overall each weekly episode can result in a lot of engaging fun interactions.

With a series dump you have to binge it and wait for others to do the same in order to talk about it. The whole time you’re actively avoiding spoilers from friends/coworkers and avoiding reading about it online. The end result is you disengage from the fandoms/communities while you are getting through the show, which to me takes a lot of the fun out of a big show.

I compare the difference between Stranger Things and GoT. To me these are probably two of the most significant pop-culture releases in the last decade or so.

Game of Thrones resulted in hundreds of thousands of theories every week online and in public. T-Shirts were made based on popular online theories that never panned out in season. You would rag on friends who guessed the plot twist wrong and deify those who got their predictions spot on. Especially in my demographic the two months GoT was on was all about GoT.

Stranger Things on the other hand, while still wildly popular hits differently. It’s much more of a build up to release, a week or two of “man that was awesome” followed by “I hope they make the next season soon.” Retroactive discussions happen for a while, but the discussions and the hype fizzles much more quickly.

If I want to watch a trickle release show in one dump, I still can, I just wait until the whole season out, reactivate the subscription. Then I binge it.

For me it’s much more fun to have an episode or two a week and build momentum through a season than it is to set off a one time firework.

The follow-up question was literally “What accusations are you making against Biden to justify removing him from the ballot?”

Like dude, you can literally make up anything and your base would eat it up. You couldn’t even do that. What a moron, and he’ll still lose almost zero support from his base because they didn’t actually pay attention.

I can vote with my heart in the primary.

I’ll vote to win in the general.

They tore down most of the mall. It’d be nice for them to do something on the abandoned lot of rubble.

I don’t know any Korean, but the Korean alphabet is by far the best writing system I’ve seen.

The characters make the shape your mouth makes while annunciating that letter. It’s ingenious.
