She lost by about 2.65mm.

And just a little over 230k in the States that mattered this time: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Yeah, the young MAGAts I work with don't like that old crew of Rs. People like Cheney campaigning with Harris was another reason for them to vote for Trump. Sane people know the whole "drain the swamp" thing is bullshit but a lot of his supporters buy that bullshit, and Cheney is definitely a swamp creature.

She needed a little over 230k (at last count) in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Edit: And the total popular vote gap is down to ~2.65mm.

It's three hours of someone almost, but not quite, removing a splinter.

Couple things I've tried to watch recently that I couldn't find anywhere. I was even willing to buy it (streaming, maybe they're available on physical media).

Basketball Diaries

Less Than Zero

Very annoying.

That's funny. I'm watching it for the first time in a long while right now. I wanted to watch Less Than Zero but I can't find it anywhere.

It's not hard at all. But due to the fact that stealing other people's words and aggressively mispronouncing them seems to be the official British pastime, I don't give a fuck how you pronounce it. I'll pronounce it how it's spelled, or any other way I damn well please.

There are more of us than there are of you. It's our language now, you're an anachronism.

A "yes" vote means no slavery. See my comment in reply to lanik2000.

I think you're misunderstanding them.

A "yes" vote means no slavery. This was a prop to make forced prison labor illegal. Our voter guides contain arguments for and against propositions and rebuttals to those arguments, usually. No group even bothered to make an argument against the prop or a rebuttal to the argument for. They're also saying, in general not just this prop, if no one can even be bothered to make an argument for one side, they'll probably go with the only side that did make one. In this case that would be no slavery.

This was weird. There are always arguments both ways unless it's just some editorial change to some law that for whatever reason has to go before the voters. This was totally non-controversial, or at least it seemed that way. I don't understand how it didn't pass.

I've only heard that applied to foreign diplomats. Because the parents have diplomatic immunity, they and their children aren't "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."

I've already heard "it was the war and Holocaust that were bad, not necessarily the fascism."
