It’s real easy to fake the data here, focus entirely on agency spend and completely ignore any savings the agencies themselves may have been responsible for. That can be hard to quantify anyways. They’ll do that and right wing media will eat it up.

It’ll be allowed, but they’ve just got to make sure only the “right people” get counted.

Bernie is trying real hard to keep it up, but I’m leaning towards the former. I think he’s just worn out now, he just hops on to whatever he’s invited to, pivots to whatever his most important message is at the moment, does that laugh of his at a few comments and gets out of there.

I feel like things could work out for them if territory boundaries were kept intact and integrated as individual states. I feel like Ontario would settle as a solid democrat state, but I think the rest are still in play. I want to say Quebec would end up democrat too but Quebec is surprising, I wouldn’t put any money on it.

Whenever there’s a minor update of any kind, they tell me about something pointless that they’ve added Gemini too, but it’s mostly fine and I’ve always been able to turn it off or ignore it. I haven’t noticed any major issues with it.

Doctor Zaius, Doctor Zaius…

I know right, there’s a lot of backstory and some ‘you had to be there’ for this one, but I appreciate it.

I’m not sure he can and I think the judge isn’t sure either.

I think this might be another one of those things where we were relying on the people electing someone reasonable.

People also forget that he’s legitimately not a democrat. Bernie Sanders is an independent, he joined the democratic party when he was running for president but left afterwards.

Maybe that’s the long game. There are worse ways to get out of a relationship.

They have a fairly large group that isn’t going to change their votes either way. Then, they have another group that actually might stay home, but things like this motivates them. They don’t have to care about the parts of their base that aren’t going to change their mind.

No one wants to impress Jodie Foster anymore.

There were 2 confirmed assassination attempts on Donald Trump last year and potentially one more where an armed and suspicious individual was trying to get into a location where Trump was but the individual claims he wasn’t planning anything malicious.

Wikipedia reports ~8 more incidents during the years where he was involved in his first presidential term.

I think Biden only had the one with the box truck.

I don’t think there is a good one. It sounds like this is another one of those things where the rules were mostly relying on the idea that the people wouldn’t elect someone who was expected to try to do something like this.

51% disapprove and 44% of approve. It is kinda crazy that we only have 5% left who still just aren’t concerned one way or another.

Shit, I think we’ve all been asking ourselves that on a regular basis for years now and here we are still regularly surprised.

Yeah, it’s kind of hard to come up with a cutoff. There’s lots of really old vague theories that had the right idea. Eventually you get to the point where you’re thinking that there was probably a caveman somewhere who built a fire in a cave and wondered what would happen if the whole world filled with smoke.

From a science perspective, Svante seems to have mostly had it, but applying the science really started to coalesce in the 1950s. The American Petroleum Institute actually funded a study in 1959 to figure out if they were really going to destroy the planet. Their findings were a bit more extreme than what actually worked out, they thought New York would be underwater around 1990, but it pretty well established things.

I know this was a joke, but I was kinda wondering when we first started talking about Climate Change as an issue.

It looks like some guy in Sweden named ‘Svante Arrhenius’ was the first to really get everything properly worked out and documented back in 1896, but the first time it really started to go mainstream seems like it was with ‘economist William Nordhaus’ back in 1975 just feeling like it might be starting to become a real problem.

I feel like banning all direct links gets you 90% of the way there. No referral codes, if a user wants to find your site, they have to go looking, automated spam is harder, etc.

I disagree with calling her a clown, but I do worry that it would be hard to get the american populace behind her as that is not an uncommon opinion. A large part of it is likely based on her gender and age, if she was a 60-year old white man with the same ideas, we likely wouldn’t have this problem.
