I guess that’s one way to need feel bad about companies praying on kids and people with addiction issues 🤷

And now I’m sending you off to the blocklist because I don’t need people like you in my life, buhbye!

The actual swing states all went Republican so they’re in red. There’s a bunch of combinations for an Harris win (electoral college went R312, D226) but Pennsylvania + Michigan + Wisconsin = Harris win, D270, R268 and it’s the option with the closest results in %

If we look at the results in those states she needed 80k votes in Michigan, 120k votes in Pennsylvania and 30k views in Wisconsin.

That’s 230k votes that were missing for her to win.

155 238 302 votes in total With the 230k votes that were missing added to that it’s 155 468 302 votes, which is 0.15% more votes than the current total.

That’s how close this race got if we look at the electoral system and compare it to the total votes. But obviously per swing states the % is different…

All of that to say, the 1.5% number is for the National vote, which doesn’t have any influence in US elections.

And where do you draw the line anyway? Especially in North America, only first Nations could be citizens?

They just have good PR, loot boxes, gambling, it’s stuff that Valve also makes profit off of.

We’re getting ripped off and some of us, like you, are saying that’s ok.

Isn’t it 1.5% for the popular vote for the whole country or just winning the right swing states would have taken 1.5% more votes?

Edit: see my analysis down there, she needed an extra 0.15% votes in her favor, she just needed those votes in three States, the 1.5% number is for the National vote which has no influence on who becomes president, as we’ve seen when Trump won while Hillary got 2.1% more votes.

He’s referencing loot boxes and all other gambling adjacent practices they’re guilty of.

Then let’s stop acting like they’re the good guys, right?

Sure, I’m just saying that the paperwork is still done just the same, talking about him being prevented from entering is moot, it won’t happen.

Trump (or, his administration anyway) has to fill up the same paperwork that anyone in his situation has to fill up in order to be let in. Same thing was happening with GWB because of his DUI!

The USA: Soon to become a BRICS member

Re: gay conservatives

I was reading something the other day and white gay men are so normalized now (and I mean, that’s the goal!) that some of them consider themselves to be out of the LGBTQ+ movement because they don’t want to be dragged down with the others as their rights are being eroded.

It’s disgusting.

People act like traditional car manufacturers don’t exist anymore even though they all offer EV options…

If he becomes leader of the country he gets security briefings automatically. It’s a huge flaw that it isn’t a requirement to become an MP.

Having worked in that industry it was entertaining but otherwise meh 🤷

Gaben is still just another billionaire with a yacht collection. The reason games aren’t cheaper is because of people like him, just like anything else we’re buying everyday.

Down voted because people can’t accept the fact that they’re getting ripped off even by the companies they like?

Gaben is a billionaire, Valve isn’t content with the amount of money they make, they just have good PR

Ranked choice voting can open elections to more options at the ballot box and occasional breakthrough unorthodox candidates. It is the only modicum of hope I have for seeing any change without catastrophic world spanning events upending the current world order.

It’s also not happening.

The most realistic thing that can happen in the US at the moment and that can change things for progressives is a “Democrat tea party”.

Decided to get the metabo battery powered tools because they’re the only ones that offer an adapter to plug the tools directly (useful for stuff that stays in the shop most of the time)

Zero ragrets! They’re very good!

I’m not the one here saying pedos should be left alone until we can find them 🤷

Well, that’s completely ridiculous.
