While I agree with the sentiment, Trump did lose by millions of votes. There was a 7.61 million vote differential. He also lost the popular vote to Hillary by 2.9 million votes.
Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent of the votes cast. He is the first U.S. presidential candidate to have won more than 80 million votes. Trump won 74,222,958 votes, or 46.8 percent of the votes cast. More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.
Going back further, incumbency aside, there hasn’t been a Republican who has won the popular vote since GHW Bush in 1988…35 years ago
Those numbers do matter for clarity. Saying he didn’t lose by millions blurs the truth. Saying he lost by a few thousand votes is not at all accurate when electoral college votes are the only ones that matter, and adding “in a few swing states,” only fuels those stop the steal Maga idiots
That was a lot of words to say what you already said, and I corrected. He didn’t lose by a small margin, he lost by electoral votes. Saying he only won or lost by a few thousand votes is wildly inaccurate when it is electoral votes that matter
Yeesh you really don’t know how to keep to a side. Thanks for the props, thanks for saying what I already said, thanks for rehashing what you already said, and thanks for not understanding the point and drawing this out. This whole exchange is unnecessary and has been a waste of my time
Not that I support their ideology at all, but the Nazis gave the world some really cool shit. Jets, rockets and the ballistic missile, the modern highway system/overpasses, and advancement in nuclear fission. Just goes to show how much war seems to advance our technology tree.
Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.
Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.
A former GOP donor, who once made headlines after calling former president Barack Obama the N-word, fatally shot himself after attempting to kill his wife, according to reports.
Not even kind of close. Legal gun owners can be responsible and law abiding citizens, but you know the ones everyone hears about are not that kind of person. Why don’t the good and wholesome law abiding gun owners root these people out? Is it because a significant segment of that population shouldn’t own guns, even if they say THEY aren’t the problem?
To put it simply… If you had a Gatling gun on your vehicle, would you have used it by now? Most of us would admittedly say yes. Most of us, given unfettered access and anonymity, would have at least thought about doing something really stupid and illegal if everyone had Gatling guns mounted on their vehicles.
Most of us would have killed someone if the likelihood of being caught was minimal… Which is why unfettered and semi anonymous access to firearms is an awful idea
You still need science to make the war machine go brrrrrrrrrr or someone else will out-war you. I don’t support wat but it does seem that some of humanity’s biggest tech breakthroughs have been dude effects of wanting to blow each other up better than the other guys

I’d buy in to that. You could even do it the way NASCAR does it: here are the specs. You can buy it from us to guarantee you are in compliance, or if you’re good enough to replicate this setup you can use your own, but we’ll tear down your setup to inspect after every contest. The only changes allowed are peripherals
Toyota is one of the largest auto makers in the history of the world. They’re practically their own government, and have more than enough money bankroll a burgeoning technology tree. To say they fucked up by testing a brand new technology and developing it in-house, seemingly on their own until recently (BMW and Mercedes have both joined Toyota in their development process within the last 5 years) is bonkers.
Any new technology or idea generally has a long road to maturity. You wouldn’t say the quest for quantum computing or the unified field theory are complete wastes of time and money when we’re discovering things along the way. Hydrogen may not work out for your consumer vehicle, but it absolutely works better than electric for those trans-oceanic container ships and shooting rockets to the moon.
I deleted all of my comments and sold off my accounts to what I presume were overseas buyers. You can get $100 USD for an account at least 5 years old with 10,000 karma. I had a few that were in the 13y +40-50k karma that got significantly more, even with all comments deleted. Just sell out and take the money
