61·4 hours agoSub in literally any Nintendo franchise and it’s the same problem, but Nintendo fans don’t care.
Wouldn’t that eliminate 80% of app stores?

Dodo, thylacine, passenger pigeon.
Start with them.
No waiting, but common courtesy on spoiler warnings is 6 months.
If someone isn’t caught up after 6 months, then they aren’t genuinely interested enough to be spoiled.
1·4 hours agoOne of my favorite singers, Kelly Hogan, does backup for Case (she’s on yhe right in this video) and wrote this song for her:
Something as simple as nailclippers stunned me. $3 item, locked behind glass.
“Welp, they don’t want my money I guess…” moving on.

2·15 hours agoOh, he already is, despite not being in office and having zero powers of negotiating. Something, something… “the strength of winning the election” something.
I agree! At most this shows 6 million stayed home, not 19. You could increase it to 9 million if you assume the Trump +3 million was a flip instead of staying home.
Oh, definitely, the participation in vote by mail states is roughly double states where voting in person is the only option.
Substantially worse, but not 19 million worse.
Trump was +3 million, Harris was -6.
Millions more had the option available to them with no restriction due to Covid.
Substack blogs are not news.
From the election Wikis:
2020 - Biden 81,283,501 Trump 74,223,975
Total - 155,507,4762024 - Trump 77,303,573 Harris 75,019,257
Total - 152,322,830The numbers for 2020 were artifically inflated due to increased vote by mail usage due to the pandemic.
From that inflated number, the overall count was down 3 million, but Harris only dropped 6 million from Biden’s numbers, not 18.
Problem, the number they quote of 19 million people who voted for Biden staying home is a bullshit number:
2012 - Obama 65,915,795 Romney 60,933,504

2·22 hours agoNot at all, I stepped down from a sysadmin gig for a job with less responsibility, more pay and now, after a couple of ownership changes, I’m working for a bigger company than I ever would have otherwise.
The biggest reason is that voter turnout wasn’t repressed, the 2020 turnout was artificially inflated by emergency vote by mail rules due to the pandemic.

Tuk Tuks! Those are awesome! But I’d be soaked to the bone trying to drive one here 10 months out of the year.
