Wait... What? Folks In Red States Google Searched 'How To Change My Vote' In Droves After Trump's Victory
  • I think we can reason that its more than likely trump to harris. Not just because trump is a terrible person and lies about everything. But mainly because trump won so what need would there be to change a vote from anything else to trump?

  • Lack of PS5 Pro shortages means some scalpers are re-selling at a loss
  • Tell me you missed the point of my comment without telling me you missed the point of my comment.

    Surplus just means more than is needed. Lack of shortage does not mean more than is needed. It can mean a number of things, and in this case, it means that scalpers didn't manufacture a shortage, which is news because last time they did.

  • Lack of PS5 Pro shortages means some scalpers are re-selling at a loss
  • It makes sense given the context. The article is trying to distinguish between a surplus and a lack of shortage for 2 reasons.

    1. There were shortages worldwide for the ps5, and much of the issue was attributed to scalpers. So it is significant that there are no shortsges this time.

    2. Saying a surplus of ps5 pros means everyone can buy one, isn't really news without there being a reason that might not have been the case.

  • ‘Your body, my choice’: Women report rise in online misogyny following Trump victory
  • For a lot of trump supporters, this is why they voted for him. He gave them a licence to be racist and sexist and bigoted, etc.

    Al the things trump is, they are. And him being in office legitemises them. It makes them feel "heard" instead of "opressesed."

    Granted (of course) hate speech and any form of misogyny or predjudice (all of the above) should be illegal. It should be "oppressed." But from their perspective, they aren't allowed to be what they are, and trump makes them feel like they can.

    Its a devastating realisation that i came to whilst watching those trump rally videos where the comedians go and interview the attendees with the aim being ro let them mock themselves by being caught out in a web of contradiction.

    When the interviewers say biden did x y z terrible things and the trump simps say "yeah because biden is terrible and an awful person and should be in jail" but then they pull the rug and say, "sorry, i read the wrong but, that was trump who did those things"

    When faced with the fact that trump is the one who did all the awful things they suddely switch over like they are bipolar and say, oh well trump is perfect so i dont care that he did those things. Or trump had a reason that made it ok. Or oh, i did t know he did that, but im still gonna vote for him.

  • It's crazy that a 60 ton metal airplane can just fly
  • I didn't fly on a plane until i was nearly 30. Dont know if you are in the US, but outside of the US, it's less common to fly anywhere. high speed rail between countries in europe, UK is small enough to drive anywhere, boats and eurostar train to get from UK to Europe. Euro tunnel if you want to take your car to europe.

  • Reelecting Trump is the US equivalent of Brexit
  • It's got the same energy, but i would argue it's worse. I dont know why, but this feels much worse, and i voted to remain. I have such disdain for those who voted leave. But trump as president and all the shit he is already planning to pull, i just feel like a lot more bad stuff is going to happen because of this, and its reach will be father than brexit.

  • Nuclear Demonology
  • Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity. It's not a belief that one doesn't exist.

    There's a distinction there. You can look that up. You will find you are mistaken.

    P.s.i find your willingness to trivalise scientific research and discovery as "some book" intollerable.

    In the context of my original point, the difference between a scientific theory and some political monstrosity not believing something because they have no personal experience of the subject is incredibly large.

    Don't try to legitimise that clown.

  • Nuclear Demonology
  • People aren't atheist because they have no personal experience proving the existence of a god.

    Atheism isn't a belief system.

    The lack of evidence for a god is why atheists exist.

    Personal experience and evidence are two different things.

  • A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care
  • Most right wingers think their views are legitimate because the right wing exists as the direct opposition to the left. But i think that view is warped.

    We need to start considering right wingers as extremists and not the opposition. They should be outliers on a spectrum where the left is much more central and the right is much more to the extreme right

    |----------------------------------------left wing----‐-----center----------------------------------------right wing--------|

    Like that

    They think their views are as right as ours are left. If they were, they would likely be welcome here.

    Was anyone else disappointed when they found out the FTSE500 wasn't a giant game of footsie?

    What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me?

    Please understandnim asking this question from a genuine place. I dont want the quora answer, i want the tech savvy, security expert minds of my fellow lemmings. If thats ok?

    What happens to this data? What can/do they do with it? and why are so many people concerned about google tracking them?

    Do i as an average user need to be concerned?

    If so, What sorts of things can i do to avoid being tracked? Preferably without too much comprimise.

    How many 3rd party apps would we need to make reddit free again?

    u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party apps will fall under the free model because they wont make enough API calls to come under the paid model. So how many times would we need to clone, and rename, the good 3rd party apps and split the users up between them to make reddit free again?

    I think its still free if your app is making less than 100 queries per minute.

    u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party app will be unaffected by the change... i thought... yeah... if there are like 5 3rd party apps that 99% or users use then the other 45 apps out there will have like 10 downloads each.. so what a misleading and dumb thing to say.

    I guess you would need to limit how many people can be using each clone of the app but as elaborate as this is it would be funny to see that knobhead react to it if we did it.
