I pretty strongly believe that if Harris was a man she would have won, even if you swap nothing else out. In the end, it doesn't take a lot of misogyny to change the electoral map. Just enough disinterest voters.

Of course, I will keep shouting into the rafters that we need to have a bigger discussion rather than nitpicking over campaign messaging, policy promises, or whatever. A literal bag of shit should be able to be Donald Trump. It shouldn't be a competition at all.

It doesn't matter. You are ignoring the rot at the core. Even if people turned out and kamala won - it Trump should have broken the Republican party. It should not have been a competition.

There is going to be an assload of fingerpointing.

Here is my take: even if Kamala won, there is a deep rot that we would be in denial about. Trump should have broken the Republican party but did not and instead galvanized support through misinformation, lies, and hatred. That would not have been cured if Kamala won. At least now we have to be honest with the state of the US.

Still, we can hope he dies of a heart attack.

Was learning about the requirements it be a baker in Germany - something like 3 years of school to work at a bakery, 6 years to own one. Crazy.

The common name comes from the Romans, who ate them as a delicacy.

I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word "Unsubscribe".

There is a very distinct double standard when it comes to the candidates and what the media and citizens focus on. Kamala has to be flawless and Trump gets a "Trump will be Trump" attitude.

The bachelor fridges are fine in communities not designed entirely for cars.

There is the doomerism timeline. "Well, it's too late now, no reason to change anything now!".

Doomerism is just an evolution of binary thinking.

Pascals wager is more about belief in any effectively omnipotent being who is threatening you. I agree with OP that Rokos basilisk is a form, or at least in the same family, of the wager.

If anything, it strengthens one of my key arguments against the wager - there are an infinite number of potential God's with different conditions on why they will punish. Picking out any particular god to follow for any reason is simply nonsense.
