You should see all the hoops a PTA has to jump through to avoid having a 50/50 drawing classed as an illegal lottery in Pa. It’s ridiculous that it took as long as it did for someone to file suit.

In 2020 Pennsylvania didn’t finish counting enough mail-ins to call the state until Friday.

Or has lawyers that understand it perfectly and successfully delayed any injunctions until after it matters.

So now they can go into court on Monday and by the end of the day there will be an order that he has to stop his election lottery for an election that happens less than a day later.

Good job everyone. You did it.

I give it 3 more years, tops, until Windows is fully a subscription service. Hope you enjoyed the era of owning your PC because it’s coming to an end.

I started the ubuntu path on warty, was a distro vagrant after unity arrived, switched to debian a while which was and is fine, decided to give manjaro a shot and couldn’t stand it, but oh how that AUR made me swoon. Finally worked up the nerve to lose the training wheels and try just arch, got tired of the immense chore that it became and found EndeavourOS.

I cannot recommend endeavour highly enough. It’s exactly what I always wanted and as long as they don’t completely shit the bed somehow I doubt I’ll ever leave. I can’t speak to your hardware concerns, as I went full team red with common hardware for my last few builds because I knew they would have linux on them. The arch wiki is great. The forum exists. They have a plasma version.

The only games I have been unable to play are those that have shitty anti cheat software and the occasional very recent release, but those usually get resolved in a hurry. Genuinely no complaints.

I am dreading the day Gaben leaves Valve.

He’s been such a miserable failure that I’ve transitioned from being furious with Mcconnel for holding up Garland’s Supreme Court nomination as an undemocratic abuse of process to being furious that he let this earth shattering incompetent go onto another job when his dead weight could have been carried by some of the competent justices.

I guess it was too long a read.

I guess fractions are hard?

= 1/2 + 1/2 * 1/3

= 1/2 + 1/6

= 3/6 + 1/6

= 4/6

= 2/3

I hope that obstinate pleasure tastes as sweet when the new Secretary of of Education goes back to burying people with their student loans instead working to find relief for them. And the Administrator of the EPA decides that forever chemicals in our water don’t need to be regulated. And the new Secretary of Labor decides union busting ought to be protected by the first amendment. And the Secretary of Energy decides wind and solar are the problem actually and natural gas is the future. And the Director of National Intelligence decides the National Socialist Database would pair nicely with the National Trans Identification Registry. Or when the 2-3 fresh, young faces on the supreme court establish fetal personhood. And overturn Obergefell. and Lawrence. and Loving.

well, 2/3 of it anyway.

“The danger of Trump is real and I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of stopping him. I’m still going to steal as many votes as I can from the only candidate that can beat him anyway, solely to make an ideological point. Please don’t acknowledge how this obviously helps him win.”

Pa resident here, the fuckery has been going on for months already. Couple weeks ago a federal judge ruled county elections boards were within their rights to refuse to count mail-in ballots with minor clerical deficiencies on the envelope it was mailed in. Pa has 67 counties, guess how many elections boards are run by republicans. Now guess which party benefits more from having those votes thrown out.

How is this even a real complaint?

It’s like people have completely forgotten the sheer volume of great games made before graphics like this would have been the best ever. Some of the all time classics use ASCII art for christs sake.

If this is your lead out, the biggest, baddest, most serious complaint you could come up with, must be a pretty solid game at worst.

As someone who lives 1/2 an hour from Lancaster, I’ll bet my hat this is some redneck Pennsyltuckian doing exactly this.

That’s because BMI is actually pretty good as a screening tool. It’s easy, simple, and pretty damn accurate when combined with an eyeball test. To the extent that it misclassifies people it is far more likely to underclassify obesity than overclassify. The people complaining just don’t want to hear it.

I hope they’ve written a very broad definition of social media.

is now, in large part, a referendum on genocide

No, it isn’t. Part of the problem with articles like this is the idealogical bubbles so readily afforded by modern life to the author. Nearly twice the percentage of Americans are fine (or think more should be done) with the USs arming of Israel than think it is a problem. The percentages within parties aren’t even that far apart. The average American doesn’t care about brown people dying half a world away. Anyone who has been paying even the tiniest bit of attention for the last 50 years should already know this.

But when you hang out in leftist spaces online, have leftist friends IRL, and read mostly leftist news sources, you lose sight of the fact that the average American is politically much closer to your problematic uncle you only see on the high holidays, than you.

a vote for her is the best/only way to register a “no” to genocide vote. To state, as liberal Democrat supporters tend to do, that Trump will be worse when it comes to Gaza, obfuscates this point.

No it isn’t. Doing whatever it takes to keep it from getting worse is in direct service of this point. It sucks that the only outcomes are the status quo or make it worse, but as long as that is the case, then not choosing to not make it worse is a moral failing.

Especially when they still manage to be wrong on that one issue. Trump will be worse on Gaza and throwing away the only chance to stop him, without even getting into everything else he’s also going to make worse, makes them complicit.
