"Hey I'm people! Ahhhhhhh!.... I'll kill you dead!" - Homer Simpson?

If progressive are going to gain a foothold in American politics, it'll be despite and not because of the DNC. For as shitty as it is, Trump put everyone in place by winning again and again. He selectively sought retribution, but mostly took them and put them in line. Now they can't be happier to go to bat for him.

The only difference will be the GenX Democratic elite will say they always believed in these ideas and are glad to have helped in the fight. They wouldn't have, but they need to save face.

Stop getting mad that the established democratic leadership lies and cheats. Call it out and get back on message. I think the messaging is stronger than their relexive grasps to hold on to power despite having no vision of the future.

Somehow you made this about you and how you're a better person than them. Good job.

The dad-of-four told MailOnline: "I'm ripped to pieces, one of my babies is gone. I had four children and now I have three."

What a fucking prick. They didn't even say they were sorry to hear you lost your job. They just want you dead.

Pets.com is held up as the example of these late 90s tech bubble. No one could ever believe your have pet supplies sold online when you have a pet store a short drive away.

The problem with the company's business plan was that pet supplies of all types—food, toys, clothing, and so on—could be found easily at the nearest grocery or pet store. Given the choice between ordering online and waiting for delivery or walking into the nearest store to buy the product and take it home immediately, the majority of people preferred the latter.

But now Chewy is a very successful company with a loyal customer base and even Amazon covers much of what was sold at Pets.com.

People will say things like it was a good idea that was too early. But at the time it was ridiculed for the naivete and exuberance of people in the tech world.

Don't take low ball offers personally. There are serious bids that deserve conversation and then those that don't. Move on.

But if you keep getting nothing, maybe you're the issue.

Start singing it with them. Do it sincerely. You'll either kill their joy or you two will have a moment.

I get upset because of upsets me first and foremost. If others get upset and I don't, it doesn't change my feelings. If they share their reasoning, I can see their point of view. If it makes sense, I can empathize with them because I see how it has upset them. It still may not upset me. Sometimes they will present a view that is compelling that will then make me upset.

your argument doesn't really disprove the topic of this discussion.

I don't know if Stockholm Syndrome exists for hostages held at gunpoint.

Stockholm syndrome doesn't require being held at gun point.

The real issue is people behaving irrationally according to you. If you were in this situation, you would done the rational thing. Therefore, they must be irrational. They are, I'm part, to blame for their situation.

But this is all predicted on your value system and not theirs. Stockholm syndrome doesn't take into account their story and what convinced them to behave the way they did. It a heavy hand that decontextualizes events and removes victims agency. Accounting for these may still reveal something worth addressing for a smaller subset of victims who are trauma bonded, but it should patiently and diligently center and empower the voices of victims and not dismiss them as irrational

Your left, my right.

Wonder how Andrew Yang is feeling today.

 

In 2024, Trump benefited from higher turnout among those who voted for him in 2020. He also held an edge over Harris among voters who did not vote four years earlier – a group that was considerably more diverse than those who voted in both elections.

As a result, if all Americans eligible to vote in 2024 had cast ballots, the overall margin in the popular vote likely would not have been much different.

 
 
 
 
 

The singular of data in Latin is datum, but in English it's data. It is a mass noun where it's not easy to break it into individual, countable pieces. Something like sand is almost never represented in ite plural form of sands.

 

I was wondering others have this problem. I see a comment. There'll be a few replies to that comment and then a roll up of the remaining comments will be there. I'd expect tapping it will unroll the comments. But when I do, the bar changes to a rotating arc icon, and then return to the rolled up status. Which is to say, tapping it doesn't unroll it.
