  1. no he's talking about raw popular votes, and he's literally excluding HRC and Biden on self-imposed technicalities. Regan '84 has the record for most electoral votes (winning 49 states) and Nixon/LBJ aren't far behind that. his electoral victory is also extremely milquetoast compared to most of the past 100 years.
  2. biden's votes were all fake so he don't count
  3. because hillary wasn't president so she don't count
  4. The few non-ad/bot posts on my Twitter feed made sure to remind me this trial starts today.
  5. the name has not been statutorily reverted as of yet
  6. we gonna wheel you out a year into hospice like Jimmy Carter at his wife's funeral
  7. is that why the 30-50 feral hogs invaded montana
  8. ok so it definitely appears to be a concerted power move
  9. I haven't been following it closely but I read something somewhere that said this deadline has never been enforced on either major party before
  10. The positive is that there's a petition to get abortion protections on the AZ ballot this November, and nothing can boost turnout more than this. I think the only state that's had abortion directly on the ballot and had it fail since Dobbs was WV, and WV isn't even a real place.
  11. It was cloudless all day until about 20 minutes before it got interesting. In the 95% band so not the full thing, but still a bit disappointing that the full clouds rolled in.

  13. Here is the press release on the new plan: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/08/president-joe-biden-outlines-new-plans-to-deliver-student-debt-relief-to-over-30-million-americans-under-the-biden-harris-administration/ The copypasta upshot: In total, these plans would fully eliminate accrued interest for 23 million borrowers, would cancel the full amount of student debt for over 4 million borrowers, and provide more than 10 million borrowers with at least $5,000 in debt relief or more. cancel up to $20,000 of the amount a borrower’s balance has grown due to unpaid interest on their loans after entering repayment, regardless of their income. Low and middle-income borrowers enrolled in the SAVE plan or any other income-driven repayment (IDR) plan would be eligible for the entire amount their balance has grown since entering repayment to be canceled under the Administration’s plans. This group of borrowers includes single borrowers who earn $120,000 or less and married borrowers who earn $240,000 or less. automatically cancel debt for borrowers otherwise eligible for relief through the SAVE plan, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, or other forgiveness opportunities like closed school loan discharges but who have not successfully applied for that assistance. cancel student debt for borrowers who first entered repayment 20 or more years ago. Borrowers with only undergraduate debt would qualify for forgiveness if they first entered repayment 20 years ago (on or before July 1, 2005), and borrowers with any graduate school debt would qualify if they first entered repayment 25 or more years ago (on or before July 1, 2000). cancel student debt for loans associated with institutions or programs that lost their eligibility to participate in the Federal student aid program or were denied recertification because they cheated or took advantage of students. Further, borrowers who attended institutions or programs that closed and failed to provide sufficient value— for example that leave graduates with unaffordable loan payments or earnings no better than what someone with a high school diploma earns— would be eligible for relief cancel student debt for borrowers experiencing hardship in their daily lives that prevents them from fully paying back their loans now or in the future. Honestly if no caveats, this is an improvement for my situation over the original blanket forgiveness program. So if this comes to fruition I'd have to thank Republicans for falsifying standing to get the original program tossed.
  14. happy birthday @JustinOther!
  15. imagine it's 5,000 years ago and there's a total solar eclipse three days after an earthquake
  16. I recall The List got brought up during the reunion event (maybe by @LoverDemon?) and man I had all sorts of flashbacks to things I forgot ever happened
  17. Biden to Make Second Attempt at Large-Scale Student Loan Forgiveness The administration will soon issue a proposed regulation that could slash student loan balances for millions of Americans By Andrew Restuccia Updated April 5, 2024 1:02 pm ET https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/biden-to-make-second-attempt-at-large-scale-student-loan-forgiveness-ef1da5fe
  18. The last noticeable earthquake here was 2011 and it was so comparatively small that my being a restless foot-tapper was enough to negate any effect for those sitting around me.
  19. I was on an internal zoom call. Office happens to be on eighth floor and I'm next to a wall-sized window. Alone in the office with a 22 year old. Realized the whole building was shaking, but no one was reacting and everything was still shaking and the dissonance just triggered the panic inside. 22 year old made all the obvious jokes, so I told her it's not my fault I'm not hardened from growing up under the pervasive threat of school shootings like her.
  20. basically the hair is shaved down to the skin and then for one reason or another the skin envelopes the top of the hair and the pore so the door is shut but the hair's still gotta grow, and so it just grows and curls around and around inside your skin if it's caught early it's basically like popping a zit and a hair comes out, if not it'll just like create a whole pocket between layers of skin to grow and fester in
  21. i haven't heard any pro-shavers mention their love of in-grown hairs
  22. It is totally weird to me when I realize that their smartphone is their primary device. Like if they don't have a PC for games or whatever they just don't have a computer or laptop at all. Having a computer used to be like a status symbol.
  23. I don't value a beard but I hate shaving. so I buzz it down to stubble with hair clippers my mom loaned me during COVID that I never gave back and then I forget about it until it's too long again.
