I think it’s less that young white men actively supported Trump because the Dems didn’t pander to them, and more that young, upper-middle class, suburban white men were altogether uninspired to vote because in either scenario, they wagered they’d be okay.

The lesson seems to be a very clear and unfortunate rebuke of women as presidential candidates, but very specifically black women, as Harris seems to have gotten even less support in this demographic than Clinton did. It’s shameful, but I believe that if Newsom had been the nominee and ran a near identical campaign, Israel and all, that he’d likely be president elect today.

Alarming.

In fairness, it’s Wired who called them creatives, while Adobe called them artists.

If you can think of two boats meeting in open water, there’s porn of it on the internet.

Not true. If terminated for performance concerns, most companies would consider that “for cause” meaning that you would be ineligible for severance. The only costs is the OpEx of the manager and HR team member’s time in addition to the “lost productivity” that your underperformance caused.

Definitely only destroyed. While journalistic integrity has always been something fragile and often lacking, the shift of news media to try to capture the social media audience while simultaneously trying to “compete” with the content aggregators has led to much more vapid and misleading reporting.

24 hour cable news was the death knell for news media, and social media has been the final nail in the coffin. It accelerated the decline in journalistic standards to a ridiculous degree.

This article is basically summed up: “VPNs don’t completely eliminate your digital footprint, so don’t use them unless you need to accomplish these specific things.”

It seems pretty disingenuous to discourage people from taking steps to protect their privacy in this way. It may not be sponsored, but it’s still bullshit.

Likely the closest I could picture in a modern sense is Jacob Collier, who can indeed perform these types of musical feats. But the crux of the issue is that while Collier is much loved, he isn’t a dominant force of popular music like Mozart was.

At this point he is in too deep. His only hope is that by continuing to deny any wrongdoing and continued efforts to delay things will work long enough that Donny can reclaim the white house and pardon him. If he recants now, he’s assuredly going to prison. That said - I suspect if he flipped and offered to testify against Trump, ‘ol Rudy might be able to secure a sweetheart deal. He’s far and away the closest person other than Trump himself who could best detail the extent of their criminal activities.

And guns.

“Awkward spinning selector wheel”

Say what you want, but the iPod click wheel was anything but awkward. It was the most approachable and efficient interface and hardware on the market by miles and miles. Navigating other similar devices without it is an awful experience of buttons and layered menus that feel clunky and slow.

I won’t deny that the Arcos and other jukeboxes were incredible devices, but they lacked accessibility and mass appeal. Their size and expense kept most people from even considering getting one. They were absolutely an enthusiast’s device and nothing more.

The iPod ushered in the boom of portable media players and paved the road for Apple’s performance in the mobile phone space by establishing them as purveyors of a superior form factor and experience when it came to those devices. Apple owes its continued success in its personal computer and tablet product lines to the iPod’s design and their decision to focus on creating a cohesive ecosystem across their products based on those design principles.

I mean…. Really? Toyota kind of kicked off the whole EV shebang by introducing the first commercially successful hybrid in the Prius. And they’ve been innovating in the space ever since. Don’t mistake this for me believing they have a solid state battery right around the corner. But Japanese auto companies aren’t known for being on the forefront. They’re known for doing what everyone else does with better reliability and lower costs.

Starting in 2020, Edge Browser is built on top of Chromium.

Google’s browser dominance is so pervasive, that Microsoft had to adopt Google’s browser technology because users demanded access to add-ons and user experiences akin to Chrome.

Because it’s Chrome.

Aaron Rogers is the star quarterback for the New York Jets, and formerly the Green Bay Packers. Yesterday, in the first minutes of his first game playing for New York, he was injured while tackled and tore his Achilles tendon. He will be unable to play for the remainder of the season.

Yesterday was also September 11th, which in America is recognized as the anniversary of the terror attack wherein hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Center towers in NYC as well as the Pentagon building.

The joke is that Aaron’s legs are the Twin Towers, and the plane is his impending season-ending injury.

There’s a plane flying at his ankle.

But all of those things contribute to inflation of home values. Not sure if I’m just agreeing with your point or not, but a reduction in buyers doesn’t mean nobody is trying to buy right now, but if conditions are such that sellers aren’t incentivized to make moves, those who are can charge a premium when they do.

It’s bullshit, not because it’s factually incorrect, but because it’s a completely made-up scarcity given how much vacant property exists in the US and worldwide. In the US, we’ve regulated property development to protect existing homeowners and limit high occupancy housing to “less desirable” neighborhoods. Until those areas become desirable - at which point we evict all the low income families, turn entire floors of apartments into single condos, and charge millions of dollars for them.

Further, evidence that the inflation rates are indeed slowing as the Fed makes borrowing more expensive signals real estate investors to just weather the storm, because the return of rock bottom rates is, in the scheme of things, just around the corner.

I don’t think we’ll ever see coastal real estate markets truly bottom out or even meaningfully correct without a complete economic collapse of the US, which would really be a complete global economic collapse.
