Shimrra Jamaane posted:Oh my loving god you sadbrains Trump can only touch 42% when the economy is humming along perfectly and people are getting their tax returns while also seeing a bit extra every 2 weeks in their paychecks because of the tax cuts. Meanwhile though that 42% is full of soft support which is polling as mostly unenthusiastically about voting, and the 55% disapproval is almost entirely strong disapproval with a very high enthusiasm to vote. Just look at every single special election where Dems are killing it above polling. Look at the Illinois primary which had a 300% increase in Dem voting and a 30% decrease in GOP voting. Look at the Texas primaries which saw the largest Dem turnout percentage since like 1992 I'm not sure if this is directed at my comment about approval ratings specifically, but it's entirely possible to realize all of those things and still be dismayed by the number of fellow Americans who are absolutely on the koolaid. I don't think that anything is necessarily changing about the election outlook, it's just interesting that stupid poo poo that absolutely would have led to a noticeable dip in any other president's approval #s (or even Trump's last year) is not showing up in the numbers now. All the stuff about declining "strongly support" numbers, declining Republican affiliation, less enthusiastic Republicans, historic generic polls is still happening. It's just sad that America has so many tribal assholes. E: I'm also continually hoping one of Trump's fuckups will stick better because the of the Democrats' extremely difficult position going into the Senate midterms. Controlling the Senate would literally be Christmas every day. Stickman fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Mar 27, 2018 |

Lycus posted:"This person does not appear credible." What a weird loving thing to say when you supposedly think someone is making up a story about you. Trump honest to god does not realize that doing this makes it incredibly obvious that the person is telling the truth. He knows she's telling the truth, but he's hoping she doesn't come off as credible to people regardless. He said he doesn't think she does because he wants the other person to agree with him and make him feel better, and he's used to people yes-manning him 100% of the time so he expects them to no matter what he says.

There are ports for every OS and even mobile versions. I keep a copy of my encrypted database file hosted somewhere on the cloud so that I can see it from my phone. Most versions work with either a master password or an actual file as a key, and I'd imagine you could use a physical key if you wanted. It lets you copy the password from the manager and automatically clears your clipboard after a set number of seconds.

Inglonias posted:The problem I have with password managers is that you need to be able to install their software, right? I work during the day on a computer where I can't install anything, to the point where I have to use IE10 as my browser. Using the managers effectively means that I cannot log into social media during the day. Thats probably for the best, but I don't like it. Just install a networked client onto your personal phone or tablet. You'll have all your passwords available to simply type in. For often used / less critical passwords, like those for social media, use a multiword passphrase that exchanges a degree of security in favor of ease of entry (ex: Klepto%Fan4103Burnish is easier to type in than fj48(gj20c9%48vn2984n9v4&jv)

Owlofcreamcheese posted:I mean, if he faces some consequence what stops you from saying that doesn't count either? If he literally dies whats to stop you from claiming that means he never faced consequences? How is a list of all the things he's failed to achieve a list of his success? Technically nothing, although I am not a gaslighting rear end in a top hat. If he died in prison, or lost his assets to forfeiture because of his crimes, or was impeached for wrongdoing, or faced charges for sexual assault, or literally suffered any electoral consequence for years of silver-spooned fortuitousness I'd say he faced consequences. As of yet, none of that has happened. Look, I know he isn't astoundingly popular. But he operates within a system that exaggerates the electoral power of racist, uneducated prokaryotes and no amount of ITS ONLY 42% will overcome the fact that a woefully underqualified, scandalous blob of entitled poo poo defied the ridiculous odds and became president. Tell me a negative consequence Trump has suffered in his lifetime. I'll wait. Were you one of the ones yelling at everyone to 'stop arzying' and 'show a map' in October 16?

He is loving miserable. Like, if you could quantify happiness and surveyed a bunch of random people, I think 9 out of 10 are happier than Trump on a daily basis.

Vladimir Putin posted:Don’t don’t some states have free college? No. There are some states and institutions with fairly generous scholarship programs based on need or academic achievement, but no state currently has a "in-state tuition is zero dollars" program. Which isn't to say it's impossible. A number of states made it work as recently as the late 60s - for instance, UC schools were tution-free for California residents for about 100 years. Even Idaho managed to do tuition-free higher education. It's just that higher education funding cuts, and user fees in general, are a politically easy way to cut taxes and balance a state budget.

In case people are wondering, no this probably isn't a ploy to gather a secret list of illegal aliens to round up later.... but the Trump administration wants everyone to believe that it is. If noncitizens are too scared to answer the census, then they just might reduce the number counted in states with high immigrant populations, which is usually blue areas, and if they are lucky and the math works out just right, then just might get 1 or 2 more reps (and therefore EV's) reapportioned into red states.

He is loving miserable. Perhaps--and maybe that's a special kind of hell. I do appreciate the possibility that his eternal damnation lies at the confluence of his raging insecurity and profound incompetence--and only because he possessed ridiculous means is resolution always within arms' reach. However, minority children are murdered on the street for reaching for their waistbands and people are dying of starvation in the richest civilization in human history--so watching Trump literally ascend into the heavens of his own incompetence while families go bankrupt paying for children's medication is intensely unsatisfying. The injustice of his continued freedom from consequence is just...overwhelming? Suffocating? Intolerable? All of the above?

Even the states that allow achievement-based zero-tuition still charge fees, which, as it turns out, are more than twice as expensive as tuition in many state schools.

The first time I saw it I thought season 2 was one of the weaker seasons, but boy was I wrong. I think it’s hard for some people to get pass the shift from season 1 to season 2 and then they don’t continue with the series E.g, I think this is how a lot of people see it, https://m.ranker.com/list/best-season-of-the-wire/reference, with 5 the worst and 2 the second worse. 5 is the weakest since it’s the shortest, but yes season 2 is fantastic EwokEntourage fucked around with this message at 03:11 on Mar 27, 2018 |
