The same also happened in the 2000 election where it was claimed the results were not legitimate because the supreme court decided a case in favor of the winner, and in the 2004 election voting machines were a specific focus of claiming they were rigged favor of the winner.
While there was some shady stuff with respect to the 2020 election that there's strong evidence for(such as the odd behavior in some jurisdictions with election observers and other oddities), I suspect the 2020 election was won legitimately by a wall to wall propaganda campaign for 4 years that never stopped for one second and relied on all kinds of favors being called in from the media. It worked, but the media itself is paying a heavy price now.

The "phobic" suffix for forms of hate is frustrating to me because it's just another example of jargon whose literal meaning is objectively wrong, employed to make stuff more complicated.
You can hate something without fearing it, and you can fear something without hating it. In fact, you can fear something and that makes you leave it alone completely.
I'm afraid of bees (cause I'm a wimp), so if I see one I try to give it a wide berth and stay out of its way so it can do its thing and I can do mine.

If he can he should for sure. I'm not sure zelensky would be willing but if he is, great. Win/win. Especially coming after the Putin interview we could see a strong defense of Ukraine based on ln countering Putin's specific points. Given that the Russian federation is not the Soviet Union is not the Russian empire, it seems like a strong argument can be made against his historical arguments at the very least.
Honestly I feel like implementing braille is often just a virtue signal. Even among blind people only a tiny number can read it, and if you can't tell the giant yellow and green button exists how would you even know to touch the one tiny spot with braille on it?
My grandmother was totally blind, her optic nerve was damaged by scarlet fever. There's a lot of assumptions built into this button that are more likely than not to be wrong.

Interestingly, we know now that sitting to close to a thing and staring at it for hours actually does ruin your eyes. There's a direct correlation between people who study more and near sightedness. That's been proven out in similar populations with different lifestyles where the group that spends hours staring at something close to their faces get myopia at a much higher rate than those who don't.
That's true, but they're threatening legal action against Tucker Carlson for giving the interview, and liberal minded people should at least be willing to hear what the other side has to say before answering for them. "Oh Putin is doing it because he's evil so we should keep sending weapons" ok maybe but if the only reason you think that is some government official then you're not being a very good liberal at any rate.
The state could tell you a certain ethnic group is evil and must be wiped from history, and if you don't think for yourself about it and just blindly follow that doesn't strike me as being a very good liberal.

The European man killed God, the American man killed liberalism.
Imagine not even listening to what someone has to say.

If you think about it, the idea that a human being who could survive outside the womb isn't a human for the purposes of killing it is an insane and purely religious stance. It reminds me of racist ideas saying blacks weren't completely human so it was ok to treat them like garbage which we now look back on with shame.
But if you see an embryo in the womb after just 12 weeks on an ultrasound you start seeing arms and legs and a beating heart and it's moving around on its own... It's hard to look at that and not see a developing human being. Not on a religious level but as simple empirical fact.

Loom was a good game. I think I didn't even play the vga version and it was still great.
I was thinking about this:
They drive up energy bills and go "it's an emergency we need to take any measures we can"
They damage food production and go "it's an emergency we need to take any measures we can"
They try to implement 15 minutes cities by force and go "it's an emergency we need to take any measures we can"
Per capita carbon emissions in most of Africa is nearly zero, and per capita carbon emissions in India and Pakistan is just over 1.5 tonnes, but per capita carbon emissions in England are closer to 5 tonnes. Therefore every migrant adds several tonnes of carbon to the atmosphere every year. Therefore it would make sense to tightly control the borders of high carbon use nations to prevent excess people from entering those countries. "Wait we need to consider the consequences of our policies before doing anything rash"
Huh. So it's more important to guard the border between Greenwich and Bexley (and it's an emergency so every measure is justified) than the UKs national borders that are all surrounded by saltwater.

Not sure why exactly then, maybe it's a dns thing that would point to the port 443 version.
A great way to get someone to stop wanting to do rentals is to read the laws about rentals. "Holy shit we gotta do all that just to rent out a place?"
I feel like at some point I did hear that matrix was going to require port 8448 to federate, but obviously it didn't sink in.
A couple weeks of "jeez matrix is quiet lately" and now I know...

One of the most ironic things imo is that Knights of the Old Republic and KOTOR2 did what the sequel trilogy tried to do and rolled a nat 20 while the sequel trilogy rolled a nat 1.
Kotor had characters like jolee bindo who subverted the light side dark side dichotomy, and the MC literally went on in canon to be the ur-example of a grey jedi.
Kotor 2 had Kreia who strongly deconstructed the simple light side/dark side dichotomy by asking whether going out and being a boyscout is actually helping people or if you're just acting that way to make yourself feel good.
Really though, I think video games have almost always been the best medium to explore star wars, from games like kotor to games like x wing and tie fighter, to dark forces and the jedi knight games. It just seems like the best way to do it is to be there.

Oh God, imagine being a prepper and world war 3 comes and you're stuck with 10 years of meal ready to expels
I need Joe to die tragically in a Mr Magoo related accident because this would be the funniest timeline.
I want so much for the most humorous future to happen, where we get Kamala Harris versus Donald Trump. I don't care about the future of humanity at that point, all I care about is how funny it's going to be.
