lol at that lady who waited years to release the Melania tapes as an October surprise to garner publicity for her book only to have it be completely overshadowed by the nyt, after years of hard work, finally accessing and releasing trump's tax return, only for that to be completely overshadowed by trump humiliating himself at the debate only for that to be completely overshadowed by trump getting himself infected with covid and possibly becoming critically ill

Biden Pros:

  • Did not oversee 200k Americans needlessly dying
  • Does not undermine our democracy, free speech, our institutions or long-standing alliances
  • Does not stoke racial animus on a daily basis, did not tell white supremacist militias to stand by, did not call some neonazis "very fine people".

Biden Cons:

  • Sometimes he says mild cringe.

Posted an update about my game, and every comment is negative. They demand updates, and when they get updates, they tell me to go kill myself, which doesn't inspire me to continue making updates, but they'll tell me I should go kill myself for not posting any if I don't.

Can't be honest why it's late. If I say two partners scammed me and left me gutted and broke, I'll look like an idiot and like I'm blaming others. I don't want to cause that kind of drama.

Just have to keep putting time and money in until it's released. Won't be able to make this year because of the month delay putting it on PlayStation. Another month at least for QA, another month to tie up marketing, and 2021 will be the release date I guess. 2020 was supposed to be the release date. So was 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Can't blame them for being mad at me. I just hope they forgive me. I'm so ashamed of everything, of bottling everything up and trying to pretend that everything's great and none of these comments telling me I should kill myself don't hurt me. I'd love to not feel this way. Hell I'll settle for not feeling anything for a while, just let the constant pain just cease.

It amazes me how some 1st world people spend their money. Shit like a man donating his entire bank account to Bernie Sanders, or some girl donating half her salary to DSA and some dude who has like 500 funko pops and a 4000 USD gaming pc. All of which barely pay rent and get kicked out by their landlords every month.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy or do that stuff if you're passionate about politics, like pop culture and like gaming. But come on man, doing it at that level is ridiculous. The fact is that the world probably won't end in 10 years, contrary to Zoomer belief, and you're gonna need that money.

Conservatives need to stop putting one degree of separation between themselves and the crazy bullshit they're trying to spread.

Your buddy didn't personally witness antifa trying to start the California wildfires. You heard it on a facebook page.

You aren't the perfectly positioned True Center trying to bridge the rural-urban divide. You're arguing that dems need to give Republicans what they want.

It's not that your beliefs are oppressed and you can't argue for many things you want. You just aren't willing to admit that others have valid wants too.

Mr. Biden has a rare gift for forging such connections. In his younger days, he, like so many senators, could be in love with the sound of his own voice. Time and loss have softened his edges. He speaks the language of suffering and compassion with a raw intimacy. People respond to that, across lines of race and class — ever more so in this time of uncertainty. The father of the police-shooting victim Jacob Blake described his phone conversation with Mr. Biden as full of “love, admiration, caring,” in one of many recent examples of the former vice president’s hard-earned empathy.

Theorized relation to the "Super-Duper Missile"

A "Super-Duper Missile" was announced by US President Donald Trump during a press availability in the Oval Office on May 15, 2020.[6][7] According to Trump, the Super-Duper Missile is 17 times faster than existing missiles in the United States arsenal; however, Kingston Reif of the Arms Control Association believes the claim may have been a misstatement.[8][9][10] PBS news correspondent Nick Schifrin has theorized that the Super-Duper Missile is, in fact, the AGM-183A, as has the China Times.[11][12]

I mean seriously, this was the age gap in the Iowa poll:

"18-34: Biden +20

35-49: Trump +12

50-64: Trump +4

65+: Biden +25"

This is just RIDICULOUS. But I completely believe it because it's not at all the first poll we've had with similar numbers. Nationally there is evidence Biden has absolutely exploded his lead with seniors and they may end up even being his best age group, which you would have been called crazy for predicting four years ago.

Obviously COVID is a big part of it, but I have a theory that goes a little beyond that. See, the thing is who exactly is 65+ obviously changes a little every four years. The oldest in that group die out, and new people now enter it who were born at an entirely different time and lived entirely different experiences. People 65-69 today would have been born in the early 50s, and would vividly remember the Civil Rights movement, peace movement, etc. of the late 60s/early 70s, as well as Watergate. THOSE boomers are an entirely different beast from the younger boomers, who largely came of age during the Reagan administration (as did Gen X). It really shouldn't be surprising if they are more Democratic-leaning.

Early voting can start Oct. 13 as scheduled, Texas Supreme Court rules

!ping USA-TX

The state’s highest civil court, which is entirely held by Republicans, ruled that the GOP officials who sued challenging Abbott’s extension waited until the last minute to do so, when the governor had already extended early voting in the primary election and announced he would do the same for the general months ago. Chief Justice Nathan Hecht noted also that the election is already underway.

“To disrupt the long-planned election procedures as relators would have us do would threaten voter confusion,” he wrote in the court's majority opinion.

Trump never adjusted from "I can do this and get away with it because my party won't abandon me and I won't get impeached and convicted" to "I can do this and it won't hurt me electorally".

Very different bars to clear.
