I have only ever voted in the People's Republic of Austin, but the last few elections once you check in they hand you a blank ballot (except for the identifying information at the top) which reminds me of a scantron enlarged for old people. You insert that into the machine and then do your selections on screen. Once you are finished you review your selections and hit print. It then spits out the geriatric scantron with all of your selections printed on it, plain as day for you and god to see. You then take that to a machine where an election official watches you feed it in and then it is counted and stored. I assumed this was standard fare all over Texas, but maybe it's just here. i dunno. But i do like being able to review my selections on paper before final submission.

When I voted today, they hand you a paper ballot and a pen and you have to bubble in fully the squares you want to vote for. Then you feed that into a machine and hope the machine isn't rigged because you never get an electronic copy of what was registered.

Yup. That’s how it went for me today in South Austin.

No. 2006 Chicken and Bacon ranch was top tier. It’s back, and better.

Two hikers get lost in a canyon with no food or water.  After a day of rigorous climbing and hiking, with scraped knees, twisted ankles, and raw hands, they find themselves above the rim of the canyon with desert stretching out as far as they can see.  For another day, they hike under the most brutal sun that you can imagine, still with no food or water.  On the third day, they stumble onto an old deserted highway.  They following this highway for hours until off in the distance they see a single building.  They use every last bit of energy they can muster to run towards the building as fast as they can and find it to be a Subway sandwich shop.  As they stand there in front of the building, gasping for air, tears streaming from the dust-caked corners of their red, raw eyes, one of the hikers turns to the other and struggles to speak with his parched throat and swollen tongue... "You wanna keep going for a couple of miles and see if we can find something else?"

They had better still serve the chicken crispers with honey mustard. 

Okay fuckers, let's get some shit straight.

1) If you order the chicken crispers, you get them with a side of cream gravy like a man, not honey mustard like a kid.

2) Chili's chips and salsa have no relation to actual mexican chips and salsa.  Also, they are fucking delicious and I love them.

3) The SW egg rolls are fine.  Not the greatest, just...fine.

5) Chili's burgers are and always have been solid.  

6) Applebees does not belong in the same conversation.  Applebees is where you go eat with your 300 lb wife and your 3 snotnose kids, drinking cheap domestic beer and hoping that it numbs the reality of what your life has become.

 

Now, having settled that, let's talk about Hall and Oates.

The first step of the plan has always been to stoke the expectations of the base.  It magnifies the outrage when reality doesn't match.

Several years ago, my wife was a bridesmaid in a wedding in Montpelier, Vermont.  Beautiful area; highly recommended.  We went up 3 days or so before the wedding, and she was occupied with all the stuff each day and night that the wedding party did.  Since this was pre-Uber, and my wife had our rental car...I was left to explore on foot as much as I could.

There was an Applebee's in the same parking lot of our hotel.  You can imagine what I had for dinner, solo, nearly every night.

Cornette is awesome. I could listen to him discuss politics or tell war stories from the territories days for hours.

I agree. The "silent" trump voters from 2016 and to some extent 2020 were republicans who knew he was flawed but voted for him anyway without talking about it in open company. I think they are now silent "Kamala" voters because he's now the undisputed leader of the party and being a republican that doesn't support trump is traitorous in those circles, but to them, the bluster and bullshit has become too much. I think it's far more likely Kamala wins an electoral landslide than trump wins straight up. God damnit I hope I'm right.

You're not wrong. And a lot of us aren't all that silent now, either. Fuuuuuuck Donald Trump.

The crazy part is we are in a world where they are questioning the intelligence of someone who not only was successful at everything she ever did, but found herself in leadership position after leadership position. There is no doubt in my mind that Harris was shift leader at McDonalds. 

I don't allow myself to wallow in thoughts about racism all that much. Sure I talk about it on here but I don't let it last long mentally. However, every once and awhile something will give me pause and make me really take it all in. When I was young, to get me to understand that I had to excel, my mom used to tell me that black people have to prove they are worthy while white folks have to prove they are not. Moments like these put it in perspective.

Nate silver was mocked and ridiculed, and has moved rightward, like so many white men who are made fun of and can't handle being mocked.
What he's saying is you're left now, but if we all keep making fun of your bad takes, you're going to end up moving right till you're Jordan Peterson.  Because you make bad posts on the internet.  

I believe that is a rough translation.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like sometime between now and election day they might want to remind the electorate that Trump is a 34-time convicted felon who is still facing a shitload of felony charges, and who very well may spend the rest of his life in prison. You know, little things to know before you cast your vote.

To be fair it was more about how his post was ignored, not outright mockery. I stretched the analogy, one of my favorite pastimes. 

Why does everyone discredit Silver and say he’s shifted right? Because he posts predictions you don’t like? He’s a pretty well-respected mathematician that’s nailed every election except 2016. He hasn’t posted any personal political opinions that I know of. I wouldn’t be so quick to right him off.

No because he is literally paid by Peter Thiel to do so. God, you're so fucking stupid.
