By the time Biden dropped out, yes, she was really the only choice, logistically. I think at that point, 3 months ago, there was basically nothing the dems could have done to have won this. They could have made it closer, but any real shot at a candidate people liked, would have needed to have gotten spooled up a year ago, at minimum, two years ago ideally.

The DNC shares so much blame for overall strategy of the last decade+, but the decision for Biden to insist on aiming for a 2nd term the whole time, despite pressure, and only cave when the saw just how grim those final projections really were, is mostly his, personally.

There is utility in some cases; there's correlations between polling and areas, and the electoral college makes it all complicated (by design)

But, like, here? No, no practical difference between any of the 'models' all showing some variation of 'its a toss up'

More or less.

Current odds I've seen is that Pa is 'the state' that decides the election about 1/3 of the time, with the other 6 'battleground' state making up most of the rest of the 2/3s

Hell yeah, love pixel art! Let me know if you want any resources or advice for it, though the best way to get better at art is to just do it a lot imo.

I sill love the Frank Frazetta Eowyn art, where her whole ass is out, as, since she's dressed in 'normal' Rohirrim armor, implies all the Rider of Rohan are thotted up, ass out

Exactly my opinion. It is interesting in some ways, but it apes the mmo style of quest design too closely for my tastes.

I do think its hornyposting, but also my barometer for such things is way off, since I'm ace.

Mostly, I hate the trope of 'lets just draw X, but all hot young (usually anime, though not here) women'

(but also, I usually don't comment either way, just ignore and possibly block user)

I genuinely hate the description of AI fucking up as 'hallucinating'. AI doesn't need more humanized than it already is. Just call it what it is; AI being wrong. Confidently, unfixable wrong. 'AI hallucination' was a term that was invented in the early 2000's, by the techbros of two decades ago. And it sucks as a term.

I feel like the internet loves to shit on people with psychotic disorders, and its generally accepted, even among otherwise pretty progressive circles.

wdym 'Schizophrenia Simulator'?

is is the case with most health issues, certain deficiencies can cause certain issues. But, outside of having a specific deficiency, its all placebo.

Will taking vitamin D and B12, magnesium, etc. cure your AuDHD? No.

Could taking them make you feel better in some ways, freeing up some spoons/mental space to better handle whatever issues in your life that requires energy and focus to deal with? Yes, its possible. Assuming you are deficient, which, minor to moderate deficiencies in those three aren't uncommon.

You are right. But like, 'learning to do sportstalk' to help with 'socialization' (especially at work) doesn't make me like sports. If anything, I kinda makes me think its dumber.

But yeah, sports, beers/alcohol, guns, hunting, all classic 'guy talk' I'm decently good at, despite none being things I'm really into.

Can't relate; I do think its pretty boring. Its up there with like; clubbing or bar culture. I don't hate it, but I'm left wishing it was just like, a house party or something, somewhere less loud and crowded.

I don't shit on sportsfans or anything, I just can't understand why its enjoyable to watch. But like, there's lots of hobbies I don't 'get', so I'm not judging people for liking things I don't. And I do like playing sports, generally speaking.
