Men come in all shapes and sizes.

I don’t assume they are 13, but they at least aren’t old enough to remember what happened in 2016.

I feel especially called out here… Pop tarts and cereal in the morning. Only thing that changed was fruit juice was swapped out for coffee.

Easy, just ask them what show was on channel 3 when they were a kid.

I used the chistofascist supreme court to destroy the chistofascist supreme court.

Biden is very much the Democrat presumptive nominee. The time to select someone else was before he was President. The acting president is usually the nominee for their respective party. Also note that the DNC primary nomination is not the presidency.

Not just voter abstention, but ineffective voting too. Voting 3rd in this election is a surefire way to get trump back in office. If you wanted to stick it to Biden and get someone else, your chance was 4 years ago during the primary.

You’re not voting Biden because you like him, you’re voting Biden because you want to be able to vote for someone else in 2028. That is literally what is at stake here, and it can’t be said loud enough or often enough.

Before the “real left” quisling trolls respond, please tell us two things… Who is the 3rd party candidate you are supporting instead? What are their chances of winning this election?

Had to do this for my dryer. Was broken for 3 months. I let the rental office know every few days that it wasn’t working. Eventually ran a clothesline on my porch and literally aired my “dirty” laundry in public. Got a warning about being in breach of the lease terms, went back to the office the same hour with the escrow paperwork and a copy of the lease terms that they were in breach of (maintaining appliances, responding in a timely fashion) and brought excerpts from my states rental laws showing them that I was in the right to put the account in escrow, and that I could bill them for the escrow fees and my time.

Dryer was fixed the next day.

It’s actually probably the safest time to go, because all the messaging and imagery keeps other people from going to the beach.

You’re missing the point, where the president can now legally commit an illegal act, and call it an official act, before the lawyers can deliberate, he’s rounded up dissenters in the government and had them shot. No amount of lawfare raises the dead.

Read books, play videogames, go outside and beat each other with sticks…

Stop, you’re scaring me.

…how well he did quickly processing and responding to trump’s gish gallop and unchecked stream of consciousness mistruth firehose with little help from the impotent moderators

This ain’t you fam? Maybe read what you wrote before you accuse someone else of building a strawman.

Now take your shitty ad-hominems and fuck off.

Only slightly higher chance that they actually get to market too… Fingers crossed for 2025.

2016 called, they want their apathy for keeping fascists out of the government back.

Not really. I’ve had some close family get dementia, it doesn’t look like that. If Biden had dementia, there is 0 chance they would have stood him up for a debate. It’s really a condition called “fucking old”.

You know the moderators are there to enforce the rules of the debate, right? They aren’t live fact checkers. Their job is to manage clocks, present questions, and occasionally, ask a followup question, not to defend one particular position or person.

This. Debates mattered 20+ years ago, when Candidates had just a few opportunities to talk about who they are, what they’ve done, what they want to do, and why those qualities make them the best choice for President.

Now, we have a near inescapable connection to politics. The content of the message is known, and the only reason for debate is confrontation, and delivery is all that matters.

Yeah, it takes a lot of chutzpah to say, “Look, I tried, but I can’t do it. This guy can do it, and I’m giving him my full support, you should too”.

I think just about anyone who has the confidence to run for President is narcissistic enough to think they are the only person who can do the job, so Biden, or Trump, stepping down willingly is not going to happen.

It’s probably a bit of both here. We didn’t have the “disposable” lifestyle 50 years ago that we have now, and a stronger push for efficiency and features has had trade-offs in complexity and reliability.

Example: My current dryer (and my dad’s new dryer) both have a lot more plastic in them. The motors are smaller, and quieter, while making the same power (or more). They are loaded with temp, humidity, weight and wobble sensors, and my dryer has 4 dials, 5 different temperatures, and 2 different modes. The old one, had a dial to control the heat, and a timer.

As for disposable, I think older generations had an expectancy that you would buy an appliance once or twice in your life. I’ve got a 1000 dollar poket shit-posting device that I’m going to get rid of because it is pushing 4 years old. We just accept that these devices are uneconomical to repair, and we toss them out. I think the only things American’s bother to fix anymore are cars, and that’s going away because every year, they get harder and more expensive to repair.
