What's really fucked is how close the polls are still after everything.
I mean I guess the debate can't hurt trump since his followers immediately discard anything he does wrong/bad as fake news or conspiracy.
But Jesus man when is enough enough

The polls are, of course, measuring the opinions of ONLY the people who still have landline telephones.
Addressing the “Landline Only” Polling Myth
I set out to analyze FiveThirtyEight’s collection of 400+ primary polls from the past year, closely inspecting their results and methodologies. It didn’t take long to realize that poll participants were actually reached a variety of ways. These included calling cell and landline numbers as well as contact via the internet, text, and traditional mail. So as far as the “landline only” controversy was concerned, that myth was quickly debunked.
I feel like if you still support Trump at this point, literally nothing will change that.
He could have dropped his pants, taken off his diaper and shit on the stage at the debate, and he wouldn't have a lost a single vote from his base.
A while back, during the election campaign here in the UK, I saw someone talking about how disproportionate reporting by centre/left news outlets on how well the right leaning parties were doing was really good for reminding their audience that a Labour win was not a given and that their vote mattered.
In the case of the US, I think there’s a good amount of that, as well as large a scoop of cope from the right leaning news orgs. Cherry picking their sources means that outlets can present the polling as close, which flies better in the headlines.
Or all that is bollocks, and the US really is a gibberish shitshow.
It's the last one
the US really is a gibberish shitshow.
I'm in the US and I think it's this one.

It's been said before. These debates are a show for the die-hards, but they're not really influencing folks on the outside. If you were a Trumpie before the debates, what did he say to turn you off? Its the same Trump Show he's been running for nine years. If you were a Bidencrat, what has Harris done except restate the Biden agenda without drooling and falling asleep in the middle of the debate?
The "undecided" voters are either people disgusted by both candidates, in which case the real question is going to be whether they vote third party / turn out at all, or they're not paying attention to the Politics Show right now and just waiting for Joe Rogan / Oprah Winfrey to tell them who to vote for on election day.

The country is full of fascists. Once you accept that, Trump's sustained popularity makes more sense.

A revolution will surely make things better, then!

I'm sorry.... what?
it's about the Harris/Trump debate and the theory that she had secret speakers in her earrings
Now I have even more questions. Lol
Orange man looked bad Black woman looked smart
A ton of theories and ways to reason it came out of conservative spaces, because a smart woman fries their understanding of the world which led to attempts to explain it away. One example was Bluetooth earrings so someone could feed her information while her opponent went on wild rants about inflammatory falsehoods.
Got it. Thanks.
I'm going back outside now.
How is that game, these days? I’ve heard it’s mostly pay to win?
It's pay to even play, pay way more to win.
Oh gross. A subscription model.
It's even worse. In order to get by in game, you need to pay a bunch of subscriptions.
The grind and paywall to a lot of things suck.
BUT the player base is really cool as long as you avoid the PVP areas.
Well... If you play by the rules, the grind is miserable and will take decades to reach lvl 50. If you are willing to break the rules and exploit other players, the grind is much more manageable but it still takes just as long to hit the next lvl. You do have to be careful because the more rules you break, the higher your wanted level goes, and the police aren't really big on taking players to jail, if you get my meaning.
The only current "winning" strategy on this server is to be lucky and/or resourceful enough early in the game so that you have enough money to be above the law. If you hit level 10 and don't already have a few million $ in the bank, you're in for a long grind.
I hate both the level cap and the fact grinding gets even more painful at higher levels..
No doubt! Whoever designed this game must have been a sadist. They start you off with a lengthy tutorial that gives you the basics of survival, then set you loose in the world overstacked in physical stats with none of the knowledge or skill stats to utilize the body properly. The skills and knowledge are behind a paywall (see earlier point about economy leveling in the early years) so they are only accessible to a subset of the player base. There are "opportunities" for players who can't get past the paywall, but that doesn't guarantee anything more that numerous levels of a lower loot percentage. If you don't want to pay-to-win, you can grind away experience level after level, but converting experience to better loot is a lengthy process and is never converted at the same rate as someone with a paywall badge on their account. There's also the mid-level-cap nerf that plateaus your body stats for a while before starting to slowly decrease them level by level. By the time you do have enough experience to complete the knowledge tree, your body stats are too low to take advantage of it. It's like this whole damn thing was designed by EA!
Beautiful graphics and environments, though! And I really do like the open-world format, though it seems like recent updates have been amping up the NPC aggression attribute. I have a feeling this is primarily due to one of the major clans (klans?) gaining too much territory while the other clans were comfortable and complacent. That's just a theory though. I don't think we'll really know until the final credits roll, but there are enough clues in the story to hint at the ending.
Also, it's not Ferris Bueller or a Marvel movie. There's no post-credits scene or new game+. I suppose you might be able to start a new game once yours is done, but you're starting with a completely fresh account and nothing transfers. The only hope is that you roll a good starting character with a good faction.
Some shit about pah wraiths and prophets and the liberation of bajor.
It's pretty bad when Kai Winn is more rational and level headed when compared to that orange turd.
Why We’re Capitalizing Bajor
The Times has changed its style on the term’s usage to better reflect a shared cultural identity. Here’s what led to that decision...
Trumps side piece shared a very old image of a an article about a prototype kickstarter earbud that is an earring the clips on the lobe. As with most kickstarters, it never came to fruition.
She was actually wearing perfectly normal earrings that normal people identified as being from Tiffany’s.
I thought the conspiracy was that she WASN'T wearing earrings, so she obviously had an earpiece in her ear with someone feeding her the answers because she clearly wasn't smart enough to come up with them on her own.
She had on massive earrings, did you not watch the debate?
They're saying that the theory was that they were ear ring SHAPED, but actually communication devices.
... What?
Fixed, earring not eating.
The thought of being prepared and actually knowing things seems utterly alien to these people.
Trump is selling fascism and a large number of Americans, who are fascist, find his message compelling.
Spoiler alert, it is.

Laura Loomer's earings did that
Laura Loomer's earrings are actually the fasteners keeping the human face she stole attached to her head.
It's called podcast. She had podcast to have anything mind stimulating to focus on. Sheesh.
What’s the original line in this scene? Can’t look up the episode because I don’t know it
