fucking over the election

They didn't do this in 2016 or 2024. You can see all of the individual returns by state. America just didn't want to vote for Clinton or Harris, and with Biden it was still really close.

Your problem isn't people stealing elections (though Trump tried in 2020, thanks SCOTUS for immunizing that) - its that a lot of your fellow citizens disagree with you. Revolution won't fix that.

Because of an unverified random tweet from a sketchy source? This is exactly the behavior that caused this sub to exist.

Written by Ben or Amy? The script suggests her but the YouTube credit says...him?

Why are you doing their work for them by lowering expectations?

So its a play of the meaning of minds - that's beautiful.

I just have no idea what would make a fully grown adult, most of them women gen x or older, think this was acceptable and that I’d continue to want to hang around them.

I think they push you down because it makes them feel a little bit higher. I'd also guess they have to point it out so much because your behavior actually doesn't give that impression - so they have to look for it. If you were actually what they say, no one would need to point it out.

But mostly, I'm sorry. That sucks and I wish you could pause time to come up with the perfect thing to say back.

In a fire situation you can't always see too well.

Yeah sure... but a Honda doesnt have dead cylinders.

This is the first version of this design to fly, and I would guess the first version of the Honda engine has some bugs as well.

They are doing faster testing by trying prototypes this way.

If I am looking at the page of a book and read it aloud to you, you could write the same page, right?

If you had enough time, you could also tell them where to put the line breaks and so forth.

Computers do the same - they (using a LOT of words) explain exactly where to put every piece of color/text so that you can make another copy.

I did not understand that this was the village with the houses Adam loved so much in the open air museum. I just thought watching that Adam loved old Japanese stuff and this village had more of that.

Did anyone else not understand that this was the village with the houses Adam loved so much in the open air museum?

The magnet is pulled towards the car just as much as the car is pulled towards the magnet. Equal forwards and backwards forces cancek out bc the two are connected.

So long as Congress protects him, who shoulld have the power to invoke such consequences?

FDR didn't pass Medicare, that was Johnson with the Great Society program.

yeah this quote doesn't really make sense.

nut, rut

really? "rut" to me has a definately different vowel. It might be this just isn't your jam - all I can say is I heard what others noticed. might be worth looking at linguistics youtube?

"uhhhh" has more "ahhh" sound than strut to my ears.

we're destroying Hal's character as this pos desperate guy who needs his ring

how? he's doing his own thing

American up has a "U" sounds like uhhhh - closer to a schwa sound. In standard British English, the "U" sounds like the U in STRUT (shorter, more open, and further back in the mouth).

Americans say "spee-kup." Brits separate the k sound.

Well done!

The Juror system is better than the government having the power to decide who broke the law.

your pessismism is boring. Who does this help? How does it achieve justice? You are giving them permission to let this go by.

Demand better.

I dont think most people talk like that in any era

uhhhhh they absolutely have historically talked like that - see colonialism and everything involved in it? Or "gone with the wind" or "birth of a nation" - the first movie (non-serial). or this in 2022: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Los_Angeles_City_Council_scandal

AND they haven't prosecuted more than like 3 cases of this.

In what context? We expect people to show up differently to school, work, church, the bar, a restaurant, and so forth.

We don't expect strangers to unload their feelings on us - that's what we have friends for, or professional support like pastors or therapists.

I don't think society is asking you to suppress emotions, but rather to share them in the place where that's appropriate. If you're feeling sad, you don't need to act happy - but you also don't need to tell everyone why you're sad unless they ask. You can be sad and professional (or angry and professional).
