others have made a terrifying point that his death could incite another instruction like Jan 6.

there’s also plenty of fence sitters and centrists who I sincerely believe would vote for him on tough guy vibes alone, despite him being a coward

repeats…?

I hate this reality. really hoping those polls are inaccurate.

new Dem candidate won’t have the time to gain the traction they need. they won’t have the chance. very unfortunate but the time for a new candidate is passed imo.

this is true…

what the actual fuck are you talking about? a shard of glass, in the ear?

there are two possibilities. this was a failed assassination attempt or this was an elaborately staged plot to boost his popularity.

him dying would’ve turned him into a martyr and basically solidified him as a saint, if not a god, to the maga crowd. I can imagine the repercussions of that. there’s also the possibility that someone worse replaces him, someone just as fascist and selfish but twice as competent, and that would be disastrous. y’know, the whole “guys I went back in time and killed Hitler” trope/joke.

it was an incredibly close shot. looks like he coincidentally moved his head the exact moment the shot rang, if he hadn’t he would be gone. factors like windage also play a role. idk which outcome is worse.

wait so you’re telling me in addition to checking the cited material, I have to now check if the cited material was edited? no one fuckin told me that what the hell

that’s fair and understandable

imo you don’t have to be good at those games to still enjoy them. I loved playing counter strike, and I never made it out of the lowest possible rank.

wait is THAT why my mint edge iso randomly fucking sends me back to login screen??

ooh boy, and I was going to do pop!OS on my main rig thinking mint wasn’t good for gaming.

Been using Mint for about a month now on my daily laptop. It’s nice, not having to deal with windows’ bullshit, but on the other hand I’ve had a number of issues with it; most recently, it sort of reboots itself every so often randomly. That, and issues with not being able to hear high fidelity audio on a bluetooth headset while also using the headset’s mic (there’s a codec that let’s me use both mic and audio, but the audio is low quality).

Usually though issues get fixed with an update, just gotta check the update manager often.

oh, Europe, yeah that makes sense. see I live in bumfuck America where they’ll tell you to get fucked and then shoot your kid

right, but some people do, and by encouraging this, you’re fucking over your fellow humans.

edit: There are also situations where you don’t have a choice but to buy water bottles. maybe you’re out of your home, your personal bottle is empty, and it’s hot out. maybe you’re at the airport. sure you could drink from water fountains, but what if they’re nowhere near you? or what if they don’t work?

how much of this still applies when the debt is as big as the United State’s current debt? (genuine question)

my critical thinking skills are sorely lacking because this makes a lot of sense and I’ve never thought of this point before
