Just going to leave this right here...

Your last sentence makes no sense.

People are sick of far-right agendas polluting the world and their countries, and realize that racism and isolationism isn't the answer.

You might find this surprising, but elections aren't won based on foreign policy issues.

If Biden dies tomorrow, the election would be lost. If we switch out Biden for somebody else, the election would be lost. If people decide to not vote because they aren't dazzled by their Democratic candidate, the election is lost.

If Biden dies after winning the election, Harris takes over, and we still have a Democratic President.

Those are your outcomes. Pick one.

Well, I'm certainly glad there a nasal spray that deals with the toxic mice tangles in my nose.

This sounds like a horribly reductive take. Correlation does not mean causation.

Except that's not how Presidental succession works. If Biden dies, Harris gets the job, not a lifetime GOP yes-woman like Amy Coney-Barrett. The RBG comparison makes no sense.

Replacing the incumbent Presidental candidate a few months before the election is political suicide. No election has ever been won that way, and it's sure as fuck not a good time to start experimenting with bizarre and dangerous ideas.

Shitty sample sizes are the majority of "research" nowadays. It's sad how hard it is to find any even in the triple digits.

Calling the ATARI computers a "bomb" is a bit disingenuous. The C64 and Amiga computers were more popular, but ATARI was still selling theirs by the millions as a close second.

Is that the video that uses a deceptive title on a different subject, only to rant about Tommy for the rest of the video for 3 hours?

Do you know how to break the cycle? Use open-source software. Use standard protocols that aren't locked behind some greedy corporation.

Why not take the features from Discord/Slack and integrate it into a new IRC or Jabber protocol?

And have it end up like Starbound? No way.

Is this just E3 v2.0?

Every single office chair I buy for myself and my family is followed by an immediate purchase of rollerblade wheels for that chair. Standard office wheels suck, and replacing them is really easy. They glide so well.

It's like that Woodstock concert in the 2000s. You can't just recapture magic like that by repetition.

Spontaneity is spontaneous.

Microsoft spent millions of dollars and clout to lock their OEM out of offering Linux on the desktop. There's a good reason why you don't see Linux PCs on the shelves of Walmart.

Oh, you mean something like GPL, which has been responsible for more technological freedom than any other concept in the past 30 years, except maybe the internet? Even the Internet was built on open standards and public RFCs, with billions and billions of Internet-bound Linux devices.

Let's not treat this like it's some new problem. The solution is right there. Just pick it up and use it, and thank your local OSS developer for actually maintaining the other software you use.

Sorry, you don't get to name drop A24 to try to sneakily connect it with a very not-A24 studio.

At what point do we declare that it already fell off the tightrope?

Correction: Polygon will find drama in everything.
