The Democrats did not fail us. WE DID. We failed.
Can the people, by definition, fail? What happened to the “will of the people” and democracy that Americans go on about?
If this is what won, this is obviously what the American people wanted/chose.
You actively sought loss…you didnt listen and lost…
I’m genuinely confused. What are you saying? The American voter currently only has two options: vote Democrat or vote Republican. Anything else, as it stands in present day America, throws the vote away.
I think you’re saying voting Democrat is “actively seeking loss,” yet the only other option is to…vote Republican, which they wanted even less?
Help me out here, as your logic ain’t logicing.
The 2/3rds of American adults that are disenfranchised without representation are the victims.
The real victims (with a say/vote) are the Americans who voted for Harris. The people who voted for Trump and those who abstained from voting actively and passively chose what’s coming.
The first, and foremost failure, is the Republican party.
They are not a failure. They are exactly what they want to be, they are exactly who they said they are, and they won the election. Sounds like the GOP is doing alright to me, from a GOP perspective.
And if you can’t because they’ve been moved or “mysteriously misplaced,” charge him for grand larceny and arrest him (IANAL so there is probably a better legal term for this).
I don’t think that “sure, I stole from them, but I “lost” what I stole so we cool now,” is a valid legal defense. But I’m not a disbarred lawyer, so I could be wrong.
Is there any chance that shit was rigged this time around?
There’s always a chance of almost anything, but it is very slim (conspiracy theory) with no evidence to support it:
“Importantly, we have no evidence of any malicious activity that had a material impact on the security or integrity of our election infrastructure,” per the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly.

Harris was popular when she first announced.
I don’t think she was popular when first announced, rather the fact that not-Biden was popular.
Reuters has a different story…

Depends. In my experience, it usually does exist. Now there are hallucinations where GPT makes up stuff or just misinterprets what it read. But it’s super easy to read the GPT output, look at the cited work, skim works for relevance, then tweak the wording and citing to match.
If you just copy/paste and take GPT’s word for it without the minimal amount of checking, you’re digging your own grave.
I uploaded one of my earlier papers that I wrote myself, before AI was really a thing, to a GPT detector site. The entire intro paragraph came back as 100% AI written.
the fact that Biden is drawing attention to it
Now, if only there was someone in charge of the federal government, preferably with immunity when acting on official duties, who could safeguard America’s interest by removing someone’s access to defense contracts and deporting the same someone who started off their defense career illegally. Oh well.
I’m sometimes super slow at the start of self checkout. If the bags are stuck together, not open, and if I didn’t bring my own, sometimes it takes me 2 minutes just to open a plastic bag. I’m trying my hardest!

That’s harder to steal/hack by someone across the globe.
The Human Cannonball? He got launched out of the cannon and did one flip before getting caught by the net.
That’s what it looks like to the untrained eye. But they’re not really going to fire a person out of a cannon. That’s not safe. So he just huddles in the cannon, they light a decoy fuse, it makes a bang (with no projectile), and he spring out and jumps that distance by himself. Requires a lot of core and leg strength.

NPR quits Twitter after being falsely labeled as ‘state-affiliated media’
Clickbaity, sure. But this is one of the justifiable clickbaity times. They said the meat of the article, while clickbait, that was the essence of the problem. “I’ll give you a child.” That’s the issue. It doesn’t really matter if he’s randomly setting his sights on her, or if she said she was childless. That part does not matter. They could’ve left everything out but the quote. The part that does matter, is he said he’ll give her a child without being asked.
You agree it’s a terrible thing for him to say. Is it less terrible for him to say it because she signed as childless? No? Then context does not matter. Yes, it’s less terrible because she said it? Well, then there’s the hiccup as we disagree on that part and we’ll disagree on the context, too.
So there’s no meaningful missing context. With or without the context, it is widely understood to mean “I’ll impregnate you.” I don’t see how that “missing context” makes the headline “unfair,” as you put it.
There is a context to what was said that is not fairly put in the title of the article…
What’s the context? The only context I know is she endorsed Kamala and signed her name as Childless Cat Lady. Musk didn’t like that and said this line. Did I miss anything?
If not (and even if I did), as a male talking to a female, saying you’re going to “give you a child” pretty much only means “I’m going to impregnate you.”
CalyxOS relocks the bootloader and they supported the FP5 right after launch.
CalyxOS is not a hardened OS, and GrapheneOS requires more than than just relocking the bootloader.
Fairphone’s devices do not meet basic security requirements for hardware, firmware and the software device support including drivers. Please look at the hardware requirements at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices and check for yourself how many of those are provided by the Fairphone. Even the Fairphone 5 has a CPU core from 2021 without even PAC and BTI.
From the same article:
So those goods still get a tariff, probably raising prices for the American consumer, just not as steep as from China. I thought the primary goal of the tariff was to move production back to America (which is a whole thing and not as simple as flipping a switch), which this does not do…and it wasn’t necessarily to try to limit China’s economy,which it probably doesn’t even put a dent in.
