Ranked choice was on the ballot in some state and it was voted down

In other words they didn’t want to chose the lesser evil so they were fine with either option

Amazing decision.

So they’d rather have a president who would support a genocide even more. Seems like a great decision.

Also, there were other issues at play in this election. Even Bernie Sanders said so

Also interested in knowing

Maybe it’s telemetry data from Max?

It should be clear that Max had no intention of ever making the corner, he only wanted to get to the apex first so that he can “claim” it according to the new rules.

Legend!

2 days till 100 let’s go!!

I disagree with you that he phrased it as a threat but I’m not in the mood to argue semantics

We’re 100% in agreement that this shit is scary af

He’s not even phrasing it as a threat, for him it’s just an “obvious solution” to a problem he made up. He doesn’t even see it as something serious so he doesn’t threaten us with it.

Which makes what he is saying even more scary. Imagine what is he NOT saying and that he thinks would be a threat? Fuck, as someone on the other side of the pond I hoped I could show my support to my fellow Americans but this will fuck us all in the end.

Neuromancer read!

Already started Count Zero and also started playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PC

Overall it’s a pretty cool book and considering it was written like 50 years ago he got a lot of shit right

The beginning was rough not because the story isn’t interesting but because he starts at 100 and takes almost no time to explain the world. Also I’m not a native English speaker but I usually don’t don’t issues with reading novels in English (haven’t read one in my native language in more than a decade probably) but his writing style was super hard to follow. He jumps a lot and it was many times difficult to know who said what. Definitely had to keep myself fully focused most of the time. Overall pretty cool book. Super imaginative world

I mean that would be at least partially more true if it were a sequence of bets and results but in this case it’s a single bet which will take forever to resolve so all of that analysis is useless. I’m sorry it just is.

What betting markets give is a sentiment of who people (who bet) think will win, which is something, but it’s different from predicting who will actually win. Humans are crap at predicting shit, especially humans that bet and especially humans that bet in political outcomes.

A huge portion of bets are very biased because of political “teams” and beliefs. If people suck at betting in sports events I would argue they suck even more at betting at political events where their identify and beliefs and even more at play.

Polling already gives you flawed data, betting markets even more so.

If Trump wins my faith in humanity is fully gone

Might as well accelerate climate change before we fuck Earth any further. We don’t deserve this planet.

My man ATTICUS!

Let’s go for 100

Because our collective we is composed of many different people. You have brilliant scientific minds and genius artistic people and everyone in between. At the same time you have very empathetic people and others who would not hesitate to hurt someone for their gain.

Diversity is both a blessing and a curse.

As other folk said, definitely do get the DLCs. There’s a whole other game in there.

It’s been a while since I last played, and this game IS a masterpiece, no doubt about that, but the one of the first sections can be rough. Iirc it’s gloomy af, there’s some hard monsters in some quests that can be demotivating and the combat/mechanics takes some getting used to which makes the previous point worse. Just know that the game opens up and there’s a whole world out there.

There are tons of side quests which are great, so you should do those but also don’t feel like you need to do all of them. It can be easy to get side tracked and then lose steam and quit on the main story.

Especially because like I said the DLCs are amazing. They are also quite self contained so it’s like a breath of fresh air

Enjoy this amazing game. I’m jealous of you

I mean do you really have to suggest him that? He’s gonna get hooked like we all did

In any case W3 gwent is actually kinda crap in terms of balance but that just means you can own them super hard at some point

Same

I was never really on Twitter (had an account that I never used). Tried mastodon recently to fill in some gaps from lemmy but there’s really no good way that I found, to follow interesting/active/popular people

If anyone knows what I did wrong I’d gladly take the suggestion (tbf I didn’t really bother to search but if you reply to me other people will also read it)

There’s still massive amounts of air pressure changes Those can definitely lift some smaller rocks

In 2020 Trump got 47% of the votes. Biden 51%. That’s the almost half that I’m talking about

That doesn’t change anything I said. A significant portion of your population votes for them. Almost half of the voting population votes for them. You can’t ignore these facts.

The electoral college favors Republicans but the narrative that “no one really votes for Republicans” is fucking bullshit

Yes, they tend to lose the popular vote but even then % wise, it’s way closer than it should be.

The way you phrase it, makes it seem like they are a fringe group that through cheating manages to win even if they only have half as many votes as the Democrats.

They are popular even with, or perhaps actually because of, all of the racism, sexism and fascist tendencies. Do not downplay that.
