I kinda feel like voice search is just an inherently bad platform for shopping.

Supposedly... Home & Kitchen is the most popular category on Amazon, consumer choice comes into that so rapidly that it's hard for it to make sense with just audio feedback or even a tiny screen like the show.

No presidential candidate is going to do more than lip service until the situation there changes drastically. From a political standpoint, this is only an issue at all for the under 30 crowd. Even then, it's almost exclusively an issue for the demographics that are going to vote democrat or just stay home, most are smart enough to realize that the other side would be worse. Even if the youth turnout somehow doubled, this probably still wouldn't make up for how deeply deeply unpopular the Palestinian government is with every other demographic. Anyone who is old enough to remember when the current organization in charge first got going is looking at the younger generations like they are insane.

She's much more likely to just be more generically silent and passive on the issue now that her exposure is higher. I would bet she actually dials it back even more than she did on her last speech.

Both sides can eventually lead to the same thing in the end, but are focusing on a different path to get there.

We take that video as something where someone is generically trying to say that AOC isn't serious enough to compete in politics, but the goal for the other side is to show that AOC is just like all the other (comparatively) younger women out there and that specifically is what leads to her not being serious enough to compete in politics. It's not bad because she isn't serious, it's bad because she's acting like a woman. From that perspective, the only thing Stormy did wrong was going against the typical process and speaking out about what happened, beyond that, she was playing the expected part.

Primary goal for the DNC has to be to distance themselves as much as possible from the age issue. I'm not saying it will be someone young, we're not getting someone like under 45ish, but priority has to be on getting someone who at least comes across as relatively youthful comparatively.

I kinda feel like that's the entirety of good parenting. Some things have higher or lower priorities, but ideally, I want my children to be more competent than me in everything I know how to do and more.

I'm not sure if you could apply to all of them... because, I'm not sure what Kim Jong Un would be doing in the middle east... That would definitely be an interesting one but, that at least applies to Stalin too, it didn't last long, but Stalin absolutely steamrolled Iran there for a bit.

Has anyone ever thought that if you combined Stalin and Xi Jinping, it would probably look a lot like Kim Jong Un? Like, if you fed the two of them into a 'What would our baby look like' generator, I feel like it would be real close.

Most likely in my mind is currently some combination of Kamala Harris and Mark Kelly. He's not a moderate republican, but he still has everything needed to appeal to the demographic. Most important thing I think though is that whoever serves with Kamala has to be a fairly strong counterpoint.

My personal favorite though is Andy Beshear on the ticket but I don't think that's going to work out.

We are defined by the things we feel mostly strongly about.

Fucking legend is what he is.

You joke, and he would have been too young, but Trump and Mussolini were actually living at the same time for a brief period.

Pipez is not the worst, but the functions people try to accomplish with systems like Pipez is inherently taxing, you will eventually encounter TPS issues with item transport mods. Mods are always updating and changing, but I believe xnet was winning out as the least laggy option in testing a year or two back. It is not as user friendly as pipez, but some of the decisions that make it less user friendly also do contribute to it's efficiency.

This is one of those things that is probably always going to be anecdotal. Some people will definitely know people who have done the harvesting themselves, and because of the fact that the alternative is illegal, we'll likely never be able to get accurate data on the prevalence of illegal immigrants doing the harvesting.
