Tanking a campaign
  • He thinks of everything as a photo/soundbite-op. And since he’s a raging narcissist, he doesn’t think it can go wrong or look bad because he’s perfect in every way in his head.

  • How can the candidate with most votes lose? The US electoral college explained
  • It was definitely part racism.

    The Three-fifths Compromise was an agreement reached during the 1787 United States Constitutional Convention over the inclusion of slavesin a state's total population. This count would determine: the number of seatsin the House of Representatives; the number of electoral votes each state would be allocated; and how much money the states would pay in taxes. Slave holding states wanted their entire population to be counted to determine the number of Representatives those states could elect and send to Congress. Free states wanted to exclude the counting of slave populations in slave states, since those slaves had no voting rights. A compromise was struck to resolve this impasse.

    Emphasis mine, but the electoral college was originally disproportionate for more than one reason.

  • Ruins rule
  • Yeah I thought it was corporate raiding and massive leverage that killed them. Like most success name brands that made it to the 80s.

    Bain Capital was well known for that kind of bullshit.

  • Trump ground game in key states flagged as potentially fake
  • It’s been really nice weather for a bike ride this fall where I live. Would be even better to get paid while doing it. Just stop for a few moments and cruise slowly by each house between neighborhood rides.

  • lowkey the only Popup Headlight Car that I like more with the Lights un-pop'd
  • As a kid of the 80s, they were all better with the lights down. That was the POINT!

    Same with the hidden headlights in 60s-70s cars before. They designed them because the US-DOT only allowed 2 sizes of round or rectangular headlights with no clear covers or aerodynamic lenses until 1984!

  • ‘Exhausted’ Trump Can’t Make It Through Dan Bongino Interview in His Own Home
  • My ballot has one checkbox for Trump AND Vance. And another checkbox for Harris and Walz.

    It would appear to be a vote for a joint ticket, and probably realistically mean a vote for Trump would elect him, then they would inaugurate the little shitstain VP as the president. Since votes would be for both candidates (P & VP).

    I like the wishful thinking though.

  • Anon wants a cute girlfriend.
  • My attitude has definitely evolved and imo improved in the decades between 20s and 40s.

    Lots of events and just time can contribute to it. But if you’ve joined a community that’s telling you it can’t get better, you might not be able to work on making it better, or even end up in situations that might change you for the better.

  • Soggy but fun Transporterfest this year

    Yeah, it's basically a Ferrari

    “Testarossa” vent sticker detail in comments.

    Never liked the 3 spoke wheels at the time, but kinda fun to see nowadays.

    Found an architect at the ski lodge! (OC)

    Had the perfect vanity plate too!

    I’ll post a couple more pics in comments.

    Technically it's a 90s car

    It’s a 1991 VW Multivan so it came with a poptop, and a cabinet in the back (so it has a weird L shaped downstairs bed), but no kitchen, just seating for 8 with two backwards facing jump seats.

    It is very much 1980s technology (especially the convoluted ignition and injection system that still managed to act like a carburetor on cold starts). Everyone who approaches it at gas stations and parking lots always asks what year it is, then they look confused when it starts with a 9.

    unable to mark messages as read

    Both tapping to read and tapping the check box in the messages view fails to make unread messages as read.

    Also unable to post, my instance signed in properly and I can post from Voyager with the same login just fine.
