This was a real game changer for me several years ago. Never went back to regular jeans.

Because we need a primary to vet candidates. The bad shit comes out in the primary. We weed out the people who seemed great on the surface yet ended up having issues. Just ask leading Republican Presidential candidate Rhonda Santis.

This late in the game there are also a number of non-political things that would go very badly if we switched candidates. It’s too late from an administrative perspective. A replacement candidate can’t create and launch a whole new Presidential campaign in a matter of days.

Then there’s funding. Biden can’t just give all his campaign funds to some other candidate. People donated that money to Biden’s campaign; there are rules on how that money can be spent.

These are just a few examples of many issues.

It would be an absolute mess in ways that most people have not fully considered.

Then the Republicans would spin the scramble for a new candidate as incompetence of the party as a whole - a rare instance of them making a good point. No way voter confidence increases once all factors have come into play.

So we can expect to see him get much worse in the next few weeks right? And if he doesn’t, what does that say about his dementia?

You’re missing the point. If he has dementia then his Presidential performance would show it.

So he either performed well as a President with dementia.

Or he is developing a new, extremely aggressive case of dementia that has been building just for the past couple months.

Well there is one more option that makes more sense to me. He doesn’t have dementia, is still a good President, and just had a bad debate.

But maybe I really don’t understand aging. Guess we’ll know by whether he is drooling and shitting his pants in the next few weeks as the “aggressive dementia” either does or does not manifest.

Why would he not perform his job as well as he has for the past couple years? How does a bad debate performance tell us more about his ability as President than his performance… being the current President?

People talk about getting rid of Biden as if it wouldn’t be a huge risk to declare a new candidate at this point in the race. This has happened before, and the party that switched candidates lost the presidency.

And why isn’t anyone calling for Trump to step down? He’s rambled and lost track far worse than Biden has yet we don’t see the same calls for him to leave the race.

People are talking about Biden’s stamina. Meanwhile he’s done over a dozen appearances since the debate while Trump has done zero.

This is why we lose. Republican voters show up and vote regardless of what they think about the candidate. There’s a lot at stake here, and Democrats refuse to accept the lesser evil because it’s not a perfect solution.

We should be talking project 2025 instead of Joe Biden’s brain farts.

My understanding of these trophy hunts is that they only allow people to shoot the animals that are no longer contributing to the gene pool.

They collect a ton of money to support conservation by allowing some rich guy to shoot an old lion or elephant or whatever that would have died soon of natural causes, whether a fight with a younger male, or disease, or a lifetime of accumulated injuries.

If that is accurate, I’m ok with this system. That said I have no interest in participating in it and have done little research outside of the information I’ve naturally encountered in everyday life.

Slowly playing through Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga for GBA. I wait too long between sessions and forget where I was supposed to be going.

Same for FFIX. Currently on disc 4.

It’s stonks guy!!

To add to this, the US already has a universal symbol for pharmacies. It’s a capital R with the slanted leg extended past the bottom of the R and crossed to make a X.

Old Millennial.

I grew up without cell phones or Internet until my teen years. Remember watching the OJ trial whenever I was home sick from school.

We were really worried about Y2K, which would have been a disaster if not fixed ahead of time.

Had to work on 9/11, and remember what airports were like before all the added security.

Also had to work - pushing groceries to people’s cars while the VA sniper was rolling around the area shooting people in parking lots.

I remember people smoking cigarettes fucking everywhere. There were cigarette vending machines.

Our 2 and 3 liter bottles had an extra plastic piece to make the bottom flat. I don’t think they were making them with feet like they do today. The bottoms were round, requiring a plastic shoe to create a flat bottom. Sometimes the bottles had a metal cap.

Hardly anybody wore seatbelts. Gas was under $1/gallon when I started driving.

You all may have other issues with this person, but saying you’re going to show embarrassing baby pictures to boyfriends/girlfriends has been standard parenting behavior for as long as there have been photos. Nothing about that makes flying squid a pedo. Stop trying to make fetch happen.

I’d buy a couple tools from harbor freight or maybe drive go carts for 30-45 minutes.

There is a judge - Beryl Howell - who has given some (correctly) unfavorable rulings in Trump cases. Can’t help but think he’s talking about the name because of her.

Hang on to that aggression. Might need it later.

Listen here Jack!

Kratom is fun. Increase your dose slowly until you find the right amount; too much will cause nausea. Wait a couple days between uses or just don’t use it at all if you have an addictive personality. I do it around once per month. It’s a nice treat when used infrequently.

Just looking loosely at the board I can see he’s controlling the center in 2 if not all 3 pictures, so he’s at least got good fundamentals. Would be fun to know his rank.
