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.

Still, not as many people listen to older bands even if they are fans and especially for older bands people tend to listen more in other mediums

Take any videoclip from YouTube for example of any of the greatest song that is a 3, 4, 5 decades old and it will have far less views than a mild reggaeton hit from last summer, even if the old song has had far longer to accumulate views

I mean, using these spotify metrics in comparison with all time greats is kinda flawed.

For example my band sold just as many tickets as Michael Jackson and the Beatles COMBINED in 2024.

I am not in a band.

Biden is bad in this subject. Trump would be massively worse not only here but virtually everywhere else too

Fuck in a way I also feel bad for the defense layers. Like I’m pretty sure none of the want to defend these rapist pieces of shit, but in a way they have to in order for the system to function properly. Imagine having to defend rapists and falsely accused “rapists” in the same way, with the same effort and determination. I’m sure I couldn’t do it

The autocomplete is amazing

It just takes the mental strain out of syntax and I can focus more on the logic and structure of the code

Like you said much better for writing unit tests, but also for log messages and comments

Even the chat is sometimes useful but not as much. I treat it as much junior engineer assistant/rubber duck. I.e. I never completely accept what it outputs and usually review everything but quite often it gives me a different idea/approach even if it doesn’t write it 100% correct the first time. Because I always review it, having it autocomplete the next line is my preferred approach so I verify each line as they come.

Once you start to past 10/20+ lines in a row you will have a bad time.

Love your comments. Keep them up

Also if there’s a place to follow you, especially closer to the election let me know

I recently joined mastodon and follow almost no one there, so if you are there with these analysis definitely let me know

I was like ok that’s hot but for a record?? Then I realize that it says winter.

We’re so fucked

Exactly this. If Taylor swift gets the swifties to the polls it’s game over.

And he might get sued as well which would be the cherry on top

They were more than happy to have a very reasonable chance of having Trump in the office by choosing not to vote.

Not as bad as voting for him but still not a great excuse.

There’s also no reason to believe that 100% of those people would not vote for Trump. What is most likely is that the proposition would be roughly similar, maybe a bit lower

I’ve had iPhone for years and I can’t remember the last time I didn’t use chrome with it

Never rooted my phones either. It’s definitely not blocked

Interesting

It wasn’t even a video live stream. It was just audio.

Pardon my ignorance but why are you assuming that the abortion amendment is guaranteed to pass?

Do you really think Trump would obey these people? Have you seen his Twitter/truth social feed? They can’t limit the social media he posts let alone the one he sees

They’ll spin it that he’s so poor that he is incompetent or just going for VP for the paycheck will “billionaire” Trump is a good business man and doesn’t need the paycheck at all. But it will probably backfire cuz that just makes Walz relatable AF, especially to younger or more rural voters.

Polls were perfectly in line with the result of 2016

When polls say that candidate X has a 51% chance of winning then it’s perfectly valid for the other candidate to win. Literally almost as likely. That’s what happened in 2016

Fuck that’s depressing

If only all the scientists could have predicted all of this. Maybe even tried to warn us about it and write it in signs.

Stupid scientists…
