  • Let's engage in a thought experiment.

    If Harris were to have negotiated a $15 minimum wage with Republicans but to do so had to give up the EPA. Would that earn your favor?

    Let us assume that giving up the EPA is too much, do you see a world where the Republicans agree to anything while getting anything you are OK with giving up?

    Perhaps you and the Republicans share some common wedge issue, do you think you would get any Democratic support for a bill that makes that trade?

    Minimum wage is currently a partisan issue, a party that believes it should be increased and a party who doesn't think it should exist. Just keeping it is as is is a negotiation.

  • The N word has a lot more implied in its use. I'd say it's more in line with the Spanish word for black, whose implications are mostly derived from historical racial "science" than hate. So its use is far more likely because of older sensibilities, but is not in itself proof of hate.

  • FOX News Host Calls Zeta Phi Beta A "Colored Sorority"
  • I think it's not PC because it essentially creates two buckets, white and colored, but it's only as offensive as the case it is used. You can make any adjective a pejorative with enough venom behind it.

  • Harry Potter and the Nuclear launch codes
  • I think part of the subtext of the wizarding world is its parallels to British sensibility. You do things the way they've always been done because that's just the way of it. You don't come up with new spells, you rely on the tried and true spells that have been around for centuries.

  • I don't endorse Biden conspiracies, but still: It's strange and wrong that Biden hasn't spoken given the historic magnitude of his announcement. Having a President drop out by tweet and then disappe
  • I kinda get it, he has COVID, if he were to have died and someone decided to make it seem like he actually passed the torch, this would be a potential tactic. But, he is set to address the country later this week. It would make sense that if he feels like shit from COVID that he'd rather make his speech seeming healthy.

  • Joe Biden ends re-election campaign
  • If it weren't Trump running I think he would have stepped aside. He believed in 2019, and probably still believes now, that he has the best chance against Trump and that Trump is a singularly existential threat.

  • Linux ftw
  • As I said, this was a vendor issue, the vendor pushed an update that their software is configured to automatically download.

    Also, Windows actually has several steps until updates get pushed out to the general public, beta channels, and staggered releases, etc. Plus any moderately sized company will have their own windows update server and a test bed of computers to test updates on. Windows is actually very enterprise friendly.
