Stop giving bombs for genocide and stop telling people that the economy is already great so they should not ask for more and instead give popular policy positions that help people more than a week before the election/after early voting.

Americans just weren’t convinced that Harris would do anything to improve their economic situation.

Why would they? She never proposed anything specific AFAIK except like 1 week before the election after early voting was already over. If she hadn’t avoided taking any policy positions except unconditional aid to israel, lower proposed tax rates for the rich than even Biden was proposing, continued fracking, no improvements to healthcare, and more lethal military/border while avoiding talking about abortion for months, maybe people would have reason for some hope for improvement.

How many Americans know about proposals about things like tax credits for parents or plan to expand medical care coverage under medicare (or was it medicaid?) to at-home care except the small percent who follow that kind of news.

I sincerely hope there is a future election where they have learned something from this. In the mean time, good luck everyone.

Given you’re expecting an apology instead of giving one, nothing was learned apparently.

If pineapple juice is anything like other citric juices, at least the sperm isn’t so acidic and has a relatively weak taste.

IME, after getting used to hunger, it usually just goes away (although I have a hard time differentiating feeling hungry and sleepy - getting regular sleep helps me not overeat from mistaking the two). Getting use to it can be annoying, but it doesn’t take that long. Personally prefer just eating once a day and think exercise can help a fair bit. Doesn’t matter if it makes you feel hungrier if you already just fill your belly with relatively low-calorie-density foods and stop when it doesn’t comfortably hold more. For some reason some exercises make me feel hungrier, others sometimes make me less interested in eating. Maybe its a timing thing; if its close enough to bed time, exercising til I’m exhausted and have like a 3K calorie deficit for the day makes me just want to sleep rather than cook (in this case, the not being able to tell the difference between hunger and sleep may mean I interpret it as sleepy at night).

Texas. TBF, its not like my eye color is actually totally different from my listed color.

Yes. Also eye color is listed (despite there being a photo, making it seem kinda unnecessary). Also technically self-reported. So my legal eye color might be different than my actual eye color.

I don’t check my passport often, so I just assumed it would have that same kind of info.

The listed height on my driver’s license (and probably passport?).

Always fun to say I’m my legal height and have guys get defensive about their height because it would mean they’re shorter than they say they are. Maybe I round down a bit?

“where’s the meme?” is a meme.

They should just learn to edit the pdfs if they’re sent with actual text.

Was your brother my 6th grade history+english teacher who spent more of class time having recess or playing Risk (the board game) than anything else?

My AP history teacher liked to make up stuff. But like, he’d say he made it up right after telling the made-up thing.

Interesting. I haven’t seen a printer without a type-b port since like the 90’s or early 00’s? And those were pretty consistently the parallel printer ports from what I remember.

It wasn’t just a generic usb type-b? Or was the printer only $3?

The one with the internet, whatever that’s called.

Many just detect temperature changes. And upside down can will spray cold air. If there’s any space between the doors or between the door and the frame, you can spray it in and it’ll detect the temperature motion. Fancier models do exist that are more specific, so YMMV.

Breaking into buildings by triggering their REX-sensors?

I have one like tiramichu and also like it. Use it constantly and it’s convenient to be able to share things on my screen with people on the other side of my desk occasionally, making it more practical than something built-in to the laptop.

OTP for 2FA has just started becoming common here (US) within the last decade I think. Each bank has its own separate app and many banks seem to limit password lengths to less than other websites.
