I think they sorta reasonably might have thought kamala would be another Bernie, who was pulling republicans from trump during the primaries against Hilary. They thought kamala had that sort of appeal.

It’s not sound logic, but I think someone in politics who doesn’t understand what drew people to Bernie could see the parallels and conclude if they focus on it, they can draw those Republicans in.

Right? Makes that other comment under this seem more valid.

I’m not fully convinced the conspiracy is that deep, but also if hard evidence came out saying so, I wouldn’t be surprised.

See people aren’t exclusively machines.

I know people who felt that both sides at least tacitly supporting the genocide was so depressing that for their mental health they basically checked out of politics.

No, that response isn’t helpful, but it’s a very real thing that happens to real people. They needed a candidate that cared that people’s lives were ending across the sea, and neither side offered that.

That hurt Kamala’s chances in a very real way, and might even be the deciding factor for Trump’s second term.

While you and I can look at this and go “Wow, that’s not logical, she’s way better than Trump”, the Democratic campaign should have had political scientists and psychologists that knew about this well-documented phenomenon. I imagine they did, and ignored it, because siding against Israel would’ve cost money.

So while it’s true that the choice was still objectively obvious, it’s also completely true that the Democratic campaign absolutely mishandled it, because this isn’t some new phenomenon, and group human psychology isn’t unpredictable. It’s also not the fault of those who didn’t vote because of that.

ReactOS is windows. Here’s their front page blurb:

“Imagine running your favorite Windows applications and drivers in an open-source environment you can trust. That’s the mission of ReactOS!”

It’s not Linux, specifically. Its not Linux under the hood, it’s written to be windows without microsoft.

Haven’t tried it myself, but its definitely worth a try if you’ve been using Linux that long and its just not for you.

Yeah it’s a stopped payment. Checks or bank accounts.

Nah there’s legitimate reasons to do that. Banks don’t charge the fees that credit card companies do.

Also, you can have your bank refuse payment, anyway.

That’s good to know, actually. Thank you.

Now it will take much less effort to make quick prank QR codes.

Thats fair.

Getting screwed out of a military pension because that military got your fiancée killed too fast just isn’t fair, and you don’t have to go far back in history to when the child being out of wedlock had social consequences, so provable intent being good enough is a good standard.

A few years ago, blatant journalistic malpractice was a controversy.

Are people so lazy they can’t even bother to read the headline? Maybe an AI would’ve been useful here to generate its own defense.

While they did manage to find something to check off the right forms as “is criminal”, those were years ago, and had no reason to do anything about it now, and no reason to suspect he would reoffend, given the nature of the crimes.

So no, they’re in the wrong.

Nah they’re made aware.

I mean, I guess a state could’ve passed the law, saying “hey, leave newborns at fire stations” and not informed the fire house, but it seems far more likely that they are informed.

But States either have designated boxes, or you hand the child over to them directly. You don’t just leave it in front of the firehouse door.

The answer is yes, this is exactly what sites like fiverr are for.

That is, if you value your time more than your money for this, because there’s probably a way to still semi-automate it and avoid some of the work. But yes, fiverr.

No, they’re definitely also expanding.

Not all of them, certainly, but there are a few plans for new factories. Samsung, for instance, is rolling out a new chip factory, if you want something to search.

I’m sorry, I more meant anything supporting he did that, specifically.

I’m finding articles about how X thing he did isn’t fully legitimate because it doesn’t have the research, he peddled it anyway, or how X thing he claimed was completely baseless, but nothing indicating he ever stole authorship or paid off some group to falsely be listed as an author.

You got a source for that, by chance?

Nah that’s Dr. Phil.

Dr. Oz is a medical doctor and actually has contributed to medical science in a significant way, too. He’s done at least one successful heart transplant that I know about and helped make the LVAD.

Comparing him to Dr. Phil, though, all we really learn is that real and fake doctors can peddle bullshit and misinformation on TV.
