If the race were between The Literal Devil ® and Jesus Christ (D), the vote total would be 45%-55% just based on the letter they choose to run after their name.
Policy doesn’t matter when people base their entire personality on their political party identification.
There are things I disagree with Harris about, but this cycle, I’m a single issue voter.
That issue is “never having to experience Trump in any office ever again.”
Hopefully my politics can be a little more nuanced next time.
In a world where every person is free to share their opinion directly to a mass audience, *we need trusted experts in various fields more than ever.
No, they’re not necessarily going to be concentrated only in traditional media, but if I’m looking something up real quick, I’m more likely to trust some random author on a real news site than some random author on social media. Maybe I’d still get wrong information sometimes, but the odds are better.
In this analogy, when you add a new book, only then is that “deleted” book actually removed and replaced with the new one. Until then, it just sits there waiting, but since nothing is pointing to it, it’s hard to find.
When someone recovers a file, what they’re doing is going book by book and reconciling the index to see if there’s anything missing. Since this book still exists, it can be recovered.
And as soon as the young spelling pro gets “eye”, throw “ewe” at them.

Most “Q” words are weird to start with, then just adding a bunch of silent vowels at the end doesn’t make it any less so.

He’s more of a turtle golem.
Not a scientist by any means, but this article (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3767421/) says men have a 3:1 difference in the rate of Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Another: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3920596/
There is compelling evidence from behavioral genetic research that heritable influences are of importance in the development of antisocial behavior; approximately 50% of the total variance in antisocial behavior is explained by genetic influences. Yet, there is also evidence of a large environmental effect, both shared and non-shared environmental influences have been found to explain the remaining half of the variance.
Obviously I don’t mean to suggest that everyone with ASPD is a serial killer, it presents in a number of ways, but it’s hard to imagine a serial killer without some sort of disregard for the value of life. This is probably one of many factors that tilt the scale toward violence being much more associated with men.

The pessimistic view: basically everything you do online can be tracked, sold, and bought by anyone with a few bucks. Poor online security means you have no privacy regardless of browser, while good (or at least “better”) online security is possible with almost any browser.
If your friend is advocating switching browsers, but with no other behavioral changes, that’s just a false sense of security, which may be worse.
To more directly address the question, unless you are a Chinese dissident, “China” having your browsing data isn’t any better or worse that Google or Microsoft or Meta having that same data. Spoiler: for the average user, they already do.

I can’t draw a horse if I’m looking right at one.
Delayed while the parties tried to make sense of the SCOTUS wrench.
Now set for Sept 18, with one more hearing on Sept 6 for final arguments first:
Small correction since I misread that a bit: The parties are submitting written arguments on whether the conviction should be upheld. The Sept 6 date is when Justice Merchan will rule on those arguments.
Not that I expect a room temperature IQ between the lot of these characters, but somebody, somewhere along the line may have told them this is likely an illegal campaign donation, and the whole story is a pure bullshit publicly stunt. There’s approximately a zero percent chance Trump and his team accepted the “gift” for any longer than it takes to get a few pictures. He’s already forgotten about them, just like every other weirdo that lines up to kiss his ass.
Nope.
First blood draw was just shy of 43yo, and that was for a new life insurance policy, so it was a contract nurse in my own living room.
I have become more familiar with the hospital recently, however.
I didn’t even see it. My brother, unhelpfully, said it had been there a while. We were pretty young, so I never questioned it. Maybe I should have.
The idea is that it gives moderate republicans a path to voting for her.
Without the endorsements, they would feel like they’re betraying their principles and their party to vote D. With them, they can make a choice: Lots of rank and file voters will stick with Trump, but if a few party leaders, recently respected within the party, can vote for Harris, maybe that isn’t such a betrayal after all.
Will it change the vote by 5-10%? Basically zero chance of that. But if it swings a few thousand voters in some strategic areas, it can make a difference. It’s not a strategy aimed at very many people, but those votes on the margins matter.
