It’s illegal where I live to ride my bike on a sidewalk (US)

You can bring back the old control scheme! You can even flip it which my gf uses cause it’s easier for her to reach.

We could probably have some sort of exception for like track vehicles. Like they could be not street legal to stop pollution for transportation but you could still have fun on a racetrack. I don’t see Formula 1 or NASCAR going away but if we could get rid of most of the pollution that would be massive. At this point I’ll take crumbs lol.

He used to make “literal movie trailers” and also branched out as a gaming YouTuber but then was ‘exposed’ by a former girlfriend who accused of him being on drugs, abusive, and a rapist. This was picked up by a lot of people and YouTubers who’ve associated with Toby gave their opinions on the matter. Which most gave the answer of “maybe”. They essentially confirmed that tobuscus is not as good as a guy as they might think. That he may or may not be a rapist but is pretty sketchy otherwise. Killed his sponsors and viewers.

Tobuscus

I read that earlier and I’m confused why it seems to matter if the vote is above the threshold for the state to flip or not to do a recount.

Take Nevada: " As for Nevada, Spoonamore contended in his letter, “NV - 43K+ 5.5%+ of Trump’s total vote. Enough to exceed recount threshold.” The Nevada government website (archived) reported that — out of 1,487,887 total ballots cast — 1,484,840 ballots contained votes for presidential candidates and 1,464,728 contained votes for U.S. Senate candidates. The mximum number of “bullet votes” is 23,159. Trump received 46,008 more votes in Nevada than Harris. "

Snopes seems to be saying that it doesn’t matter if Trump cheated and sneaked in 23k bullet votes because Kamala would have lost anyway without them. In my view, if ANY cheating occured then that’s like really bad right? Even if it didn’t flip the election?

23k is a little more than half of 43k so the percentage would drop from 5.5% down to 2.8% which is still wayyy over the usual 0.05% bullet ballots which seems very odd and makes it recount worthy. (Note: The 0.05% bullet ballots figure comes from the original article which I haven’t fact checked since idk how so if that’s wrong please correct it “In comparison, bullet ballots for Trump in Oregon, Utah and Idaho—the three states which border Arizona and Nevada, with equally fervent Trump voters—count for less than 0.05% in each state.”)

Not great :(

I’m over in AL and I wish that my state was even on the road toward dragging our state forward. Maybe someday we can kick Kay Ivey to the curb and get a governor like NC.

Wow I actually really like that idea. I don’t think I would’ve ever come up with it myself. It’d be cool to have a candidate platform made up of the best crowdsourced policy ideas.

For me it looks like this:

So the text one appears the same for both of us but the emoji one appears differently which could possibly change its meaning if they were different enough

Yeah I’m not sure either. He used to do science-y videos before I started watching and I think his political videos really caught the algorithm which changed what kind of content he made for sure.

Thanks for the plug! I’ll definitely check them out. I’ve been missing that kinda stuff since all the “Breadtube” people make 2 hour long videos with long breaks now haha

Pretty sure it was the "We need to talk about ‘Authoritarianism’ " video. I’d have to rewatch it to find what I found objectionable at the time lol

If it makes you feel any better, I was even later than you to stop watching. I didn’t know about any of that Nebula stuff and only found out when one of his videos was so insane I had to go see how other people felt about it.

I’m still using one with a jack (Asus ROG 5)

This is dumb but only because we don’t worry about energy use any other time. Tons of places in my city keep all their lights on 24/7 unnecessarily, we all are sitting on a “useless” social media, video games and movies and music are all energy uses. I don’t want the government to start limiting energy use on things it deems unimportant. Who gets to decide what counts? Just implement a carbon tax and energy use will go down if people don’t want to pay. We don’t need to police everyone’s usage, we just need the cost to actually reflect the externalities.

US. Looking for a remote position mostly, though, so it shouldn’t matter too much.

LinkedIn and Indeed mostly. I also use Dice, ZIPrecruiter, and Glassdoor sparingly.

Sadly I’ve also been out of a job since January of last year. I can’t seem to even get interviews now that I’m a year out. Job market is real tough.
