2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
I don't avoid the fact that these slip-ups exist (*cough*like R's*cough*), but I can't watch them. It's like watching Michael Scott's cringiest moments. And if I solid D voter like me can't handle watching him speak, I don't know how you keep throwing him out there and expect him to gain any ground.

Correct. All those years of higher learning and I can't even pose a simple hypothetical.

Yea, Warren was my favorite candidate last cycle. Didn't really understand why she couldn't gain any momentum.

I guess there have been a few. But this would potentially be 3 consecutive presidents without any serving two consecutive terms. I really jacked up my question. Apologies

Well look at the big history brains on the doctor!

I'm too lazy to look, but if the D's end up nominating someone else, how often in our history have we had 3 different presidents elected in 3 consecutive elections?

2024 Celebrity Death Pool
I worked at Hamilton Pool for a while, fortunately while the pool was closed for swimming. Drownings were nearly annual there before, and no more than about 100 people can swim there each day. It's insane to me that poor swimmers, or parents of poor swimmer, take no steps to avoid such things.

I play reasonably close attention, but didn't know about Wes Moore until this week and was only peripherally aware of Shapiro but couldn't point him out of a lineup. I'm team anyone but Trump (or any R), for what it's worth.

Perhaps we should start caring, seeing as the two presidential candidates are 80 year-old men. One who occasionally appears to be sundowning and the other who brags about passing neurologic exams and subsists on McDonalds.

Surly official camping and backpacking thread
I went to Lassen in June a few years ago. Didn't get to see any of the geothermal features, but it was still a fantastic, uncrowded trip. Highly recommend.

Colorado Vacation Destinations - Not Quite So Crowded, But Still Cool
I've got to check that one off then. My wife is from there so we've gone back to visit family probably 10 times, yet I haven't been. Now that we have kids, I guess I can use that as an excuse to go next time.

I didn't listen, but it seems like anything between a disaster and a home run is basically worst case scenario.

I can't even listen to that. It's cringey enough to read.

Surly Dad Thread
Congratulations! Speaking of illnesses, the wife, who works at Dell, said the new Covid strain is no joke. So that's fun. I regularly get updates on horrifying illnesses and injuries I never even thought to worry about. We're just entering the 3rd trimester for our 2nd boy. The 2 year-old's favorite phrase currently is "No Dada, get back." I've got, what, 3 years of white-knuckling it and just trying to survive?

I will admit that my concerns at the time were based more on Biden drowning in the admittedly flawed polls. But I don't think it was unbelievable or unforeseeable that Biden would be declining mentally by the time of this election. He's not just 81, he's been President or VP for 12 of the last 16 years, and the other 4 he was watching Trump attempt to destroy the country and campaigning. Not to mention the death of his son, or his other child's legal/personal issues. The man has experienced multiple lifetimes of stress in the last two decades.

It seems like someone should have gotten in Biden's ear a while ago about stepping aside. I know I, and many others, were mocked last year when bringing up running a different candidate due to giving up the incumbent advantage. Does that advantage still exist when the candidate appears unsafe to be left alone at home, much less run a country?

The WAY too early June Presidential Debate thread
Impeccable timing. You're going to want to take all of your camping gear. There are surely worse ways to experience the end of the world than as a hermit in the mountains of NZ, occasionally meandering into town to share beers with some kiwis.

He just said there were very fine people on both sides. One side happened to be white supremacists and nazis. But you are right, he did not say "white supremacists and nazis are very fine people".

I commandeered the TV and put on olympic trials. If I have to watch the debate, I'm not going to start with CNN pretending like we're dealing with 2 normal candidates/parties.
