Everybody also said this about the Biden/Trump debate, and that's ultimately what made Biden bow out. Personally, I'm a bit apprehensive about how Harris would do against Trump: she didn't fare very well in the democratic primaries, and she hasn't had a lot of practice since.

I'm not on the fence, but some who are might want to see how Harris holds up to a strong authority figure (Trump isn't the only asshole on the global political stage, remember)

pussies are tough. he's a ballsack: quite sensitive, shrivels up in cold weather, and prone to premature ejaculation

I actually found that I really like the "hot" scrolling so much better. On Reddit, everything I came across had ~hundreds of comments and everything was multiple hours old. I didn't feel like I could contribute at all. But here... it feels a lot smaller, and most of the "hot" posts are not rubbish, so I feel like I can actually contribute!

Love me some British shrub politics. The only socially respectable response for someone invading your property is a bit of tutting whenever they're nearby.

Also the "public right-of-way" in this country is incredible.

I used to love all the Marvel movies. and then I started watching one film and couldn't tell if I'd seen it already and didn't want to watch it if I hadn't... and then realised they're basically just identical stories player by different characters.

no reason to hit up the opening weekend if you're just going to watch a rerun.

I used to think the same thing: first three results or so are always ads, so just ignore. And then recently they've changed to be 90% ads even after the initial few. It's hard to find something that someone hasn't paid to display :(

This is my favourite part of the whole ridiculous parade. For a good two weeks or so all my meetings with US colleagues are just chaos.

I'm fine with keeping the time change every so often as long as they can program my 2-year old alarm clock to also give me an extra hour of sleep when it happens.

Looks great! Did you at least get to buy a few new tools out of it as well?

I mean, the temperature 0 was assigned because it was the lowest temperature that winter in Fahrenheit's town, and the "powers of two" was only chosen because it was simple to mark degree lines on his instrument. Feels quite arbitrary to me...

"can't [yet] be blocked" This is the claim of every new advertiser platform. Looking forward to it being blocked (and not because I'm on X, just because I'm excited to see them burn).
