I think it's more along the lines of "more people would be apathetic" and just wouldn't be bothered to vote.

This is a really interesting little project, but there's no background info available. Making this be a plugin for that 'other' site that most of us left would be great. I still surf there once in a while but no longer comment due to their policy changes.

It's nigh impossible to get many users to read past the headline. A summary is what 98% of people would actually want (and a good news story really is just a summary anyway) so the pay-through-rate would be so close to zero that I can't see this model working.

That's easy to say, but when it comes to finding my credit card to type in my info for yet another news website, I can guarantee that I just don't give enough fucks about any individual news story.

It’s not really “media outlets” there are about a half dozen of these places “raw story” being one of the biggest offenders that sensationalize absolutely everything that Trump does. I’m pretty sure that they are AI generated at this point.

Very true. I get the feeling that he cycles through a lot of rounds, but not a close enough friend to have shot on his land more than once.

I think he’s had a stockpile since forever, but probably yeah.

I have acquaintances that would definitely be considered classic preppers. One told me that he has 10k plus (each!) of rounds for multiple calibers of weapons, and a years worth of food for each of his family members in a “bunker” on his property. It’d take a LONG time to burn through that many rounds.

Mine tried a bunch of different pumps but none would fix her medical issue. She tried SO hard and long for naught.

My wife tried desperately with both of our kids. There’s no way she could due to malformed glands. Multiple specialists confirmed that we had no choice but to feed formula almost exclusively. To this day she has guilt over something that she had no control over.

The formula shortage was one of the scariest parts of my entire life. Some babies don’t take well to certain formulas, and we had to switch them up a couple times, which meant lots of infants with upset stomachs. Nobody got any sleep for months until the FDA started allowing foreign formula into the country. Thankfully we are past formula and onto real food. I remember going to multiple stores where they were all out of the formula that my premature son could eat and the feeling of utter desperation.

The stroke he suffered did a number on him. In a bad way.

My 2000 CRV won't fucking die. It has 265k on it, and half the electronics don't work, but it starts every time, the AC & heat work great. It leaks oil like a sieve so about once every 2 months my 'reminder' light (oil) starts blinking in corners, so I pour some more in and the thing just keeps on. It'd be nice to get something newer, but I kinda promised myself that I'd drive this one into the ground, and don't really want to take on another car payment anyway.

53% of Americans want to give him another chance at putting his foot further into his mouth. 47% just want to hear their god emperor make farting noses to “own the libs”. Note that they don’t care which side of him it comes from.

I pray you’re right, and fear that you might be wrong. The “red wave” that was supposed to happen and was wrong last time gives me a small amount of hope.

Almost all reputable polling groups have an all-the-above strategy. They also attempt to adjust for errors in polling due to things like the aforementioned “only old people have landlines” issue. Turnout is what ACTUALLY wins elections, and there are a LOT of people who will turn out for the orange turd, so we all need to make sure that we are turning out everyone we can too.

She’ll enable it appropriately 99% less than the ONLY OTHER OPTION, who seeks to ACTIVELY ENCOURAGE genocide.

Don doesn’t care for the reason that they make him feel good. Those around him don’t care because all he has to do, is survive long enough to get into office. Then they’ll be hoping he kicks the bucket so they can all take over.

Whereas that's hilarious, that's a pic of Mars on his shirt.

Don’t just leave, stop clicking any links from Twitter.

I’ve stopped bothering with links from RawStory. It’s all just ragebait headlines. There’s a nugget of truth and I’m encouraging everyone to vote blue up and down the ballot, but these AI generated articles aren’t really helping. There are a few sites that are the same all up and down, but this is one of the worst.
