His biggest running joke is that he can’t use contractions. It would be nice if one day he tells everyone that he didn’t think they’d fall for it for so long.

Lal was using contractions in like a week and that was before her brain melted.

If they’re withdrawing to their bunkers, the surface probably isn’t that great.

Ohhhhh that makes much more sense. I was going to complain about the volume of those things too, but I figured I had already complained about enough. Turns out my complaint was crazy.

You underestimate the power of laziness. That’s a lot of steps to approximate an egg.

It’s far easier to bake less and eat fewer eggs. Trust a lazy person. Either that or I’ll wait until eggplants can grow real eggs.

I’m getting paywalled by your link, but on the aggregate, RCP seems to show his approval rating is still fairly high.

They currently have him at 48.8% approval. 46.1% disapproval.

Succession would just pass over him.

None of this makes sense anymore. How could people possibly be shocked this time? It happened before under less favorable circumstances.

He probably didn’t. He was polling very well. Very well. Better than his last two elections for a long time. People pretended he couldn’t win and I admittedly didn’t think they’d do that since that’s exactly what happened in 2016.

Simply assuming the election was stolen will be a mistake because that mindset will help Republicans win their next election. The voters wanted an irreparably changed supreme court and Trump functionally immune from prosecution and that’s what the voters got.

They’re not done counting. There’s a decent chance he has more votes this time.

This doesn’t make sense. How could the “Abandon Harris” movement start late last year when Harris wasn’t even the candidate?

what’s easier? Convincing everyone you know to download signal or whatsapp or matrix or whatever or having that built into the text app [convincing everyone to buy the same phone].

FTFY

When presented this way, the choice is very different.

Yeah, that pretty much aligns with what I thought. A comment downvoted to -122.

First part is true, but irrelevant since it’s a blue district like I tried to explain to the other dude. When I say blue, I mean she more than doubled her next closest opponent (the Republican candidate)'s votes. It would be a waste of AIPAC’s money from their perspective.

Second part sounds like fan fiction because the users on Lemmy I’ve interacted with don’t sound like people who want to see a solidly blue district turn red.

That’s a primary. Different places have primaries at different times.

Yeah it does, because in the general election, she’ll be the only Democrat. That’s the purpose of the primary.

She won her primary a couple months ago and she’s in a very blue district.

This isn’t projection. They’re not saying “fascists”.

You joke, but I always like that the Poynting vector, which points in the direction of flow of an EM wave is named after John Henry Poynting.

I bet that guy was trying so hard to find a vector to get named after him.

Computer Scientist: 0 and a carry bit

This is a weird headline generally, but it’s even weirder given that a UK outlet wrote it.
