  1. Well that group is stating they have enough sway as a voting block to cost Joe Biden the entire state of Michigan because they're so angry over Gaza so..... Perhaps you missed the time Bernie Bros not voting for HIllary were blamed for her losing to Trump. That was mostly white dudes.
  2. Because Presidential politics is all about winning specific states now. Blue states are firmly blue. Red states are firmly red. Florida used to be the key state to win. It cost Gore the election in 2000. It, like Texas, will be red for the rest of our lives. So now the former Rust Belt holds most of the cards. Michigan and Pennsylvania will decide Trump or Biden. Ohio is a lost cause, it will stay red. So, yeah it's a problem if 100,000 Muslims in Michigan who voted for Biden in 2020 decide to sit out if he doesn't win the states he won in 2000. The states that decided the last election were Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. You want to switch to a winner take all popular vote, I'm for it.
  3. The terrible trend in plastic surgery that gives women those horrible looking faces is definitely an enshitting.
  4. There's a show on FX that just premiered that is Capote based, Feud: Capote vs. the Swans. It's based in New York. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1984119/
  5. I saw a humorous line in the story about this where the people who said they will be uncommitted to Biden in November aren't as worried about Trump's authoritarian style because "they can find ways to undermine that". Okay, sure. Let's see how your protesting works when he invokes the Insurrection Act. Remember how things worked when BLM was protesting outside the White House in 2020? Yeah and he will have no one standing in the way of clearing you all out with force. No Joint Chiefs or Secretary of Defense telling him "sir, you can't attack American citizens who are protesting". It will all be yes men or worse, people who want to harm you because you're Muslim. You may not fear Trump's authoritarian style but you damn sure better fear what Stephen Miller has planned for you. I'm not sure exactly what fantasy land these Michigan people are living in.
  6. And I understand that thinking and I truly empathise with people who have lost loved ones in Gaza. Now how about your loved ones here whose status might be questioned when Stephen Miller takes over again and wants to expel all non-citizens, people here for work, people seeking asylum, people fleeing war torn areas? What about them? What about the future generations of your family that will no longer be allowed to live in this country? You're fine with putting them at risk? Again, be careful what you wish for then in your quest to show Joe Biden something.
  7. Then I will feel no emotion for them when the Muslim ban returns, Muslims with work visas and resident cards are deported, and their families are broken up. If you think Biden is so awful that you hand a state and possible victory to Trump then be ready for the utter hell you just unleashed that will affect you a lot more than me, at least initially. You think Gaza is bad now, just wait till Trump encourages Israel to do whatever it wants.
  8. Everton getting closer to being out of the relegation zone.
  9. Ditch the obsolete ones for items you no longer use like iPod chargers. If you have no tech that would use the cable then move it on. If you may need it for expansion like HDMI, USB, or networking cables, keep them. Organizing by type is a great idea. I have computer cables and all the myriad of USB charging cables for various battery packs in one box. A/V cables in a different one. If it's an expensive cable, keep it. If it's something you're never going to use again like a component video cable or S-Video, trash it.
  10. The Academy really deserves so much credit this season. To bring these guys in with all the injuries and not skip a beat is so impressive. Bradley is great and looks to be a mainstay going forward. Quansah holding the line. Danns and Clark were threats.
  11. Hats off to the young players. Great effort to bring that home. No one slipped up. Kelleher was MOTM. Chelsea have to look inward because you got beaten by an injury riddled side and a bunch of youth. But hey, you won the summer transfer window.
  12. Well when you go into every goal scoring opportunity looking to find some technicality to disallow a goal, this will happen.
  13. Well that blows when we're already down to a bare bones roster.
  14. Definitely a Carabao Cup roster but not by choice.
  15. Fulham get a winner at Old Trafford in stoppage.
  16. One decent thing I have on my phone to help block telemarketers to my cell is Active Armor by AT&T. I swear it blocks 9 out of 10 calls I get but nothing from verified people. It shows you the blocked call as it comes in so I can do a quick Google search to make sure it isn't a bonafide person calling me. Before the app, I was getting deluged with spam calls, a lot of them with my same area code and close to my same cell number. The masking these people do is not enshitting. They're quite good at it. I made my elderly mother put it on her phone as she's the perfect target to get scammed.
