https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/biden-promise-tracker/ Honestly, for a politician, that’s a pretty high follow-through rate. If his term ends and all the stalled and in-progress convert to compromise or failed, hes still gonna stack up pretty good.

28% may look low without context, but compare it to previous single term presidents… and if he gets a second term, he’s on track to do very well.

A gimmick that is already in up to 10% of households, with a further 10% of those households using it more than 4 hours a day. Sure, it sounds like a small amount when put that way. But that’s already getting to be a pretty targettable market, and if you look at the growth chart, it’s not slowing down.

You may individually not have liked it, but it is indeed here to stay. I don’t think an apple headset will be worth it for a bit, but apple sold alot of Quest 3’s at the very least. So they sold people on the idea of VR, and then once they were in the door, they bought a reasonable headset. In that way, apple has helped alot. They helped to establish it as something that is “ready” for apple to take it seriously. That conveys alot of legitimacy to “normal” people.

I personally am, of course, in the minority of people that use VR for 8+ hours a day. It has replaced TV, Consoles, and gaming monitors for me. Plus I do my exercise in VR. I made a virtual 4k 120hz screen for my PC, that I use from the comfort of my recliner. It’s like if you had a steamdeck to stream your desktop to, except you don’t have to hold the weight of the deck, the screen is not near your hands, and also its 10 feet wide and at a comfortable viewing distance of 20 feet away, and is 4k 120hz. And you can use whichever controller you like holding. Also it’s cheaper. The downside is that if you want someone else to be able to see your game, you have to stream a video of it to their device, or a nearby TV. And speaking of a nearby TV, while playing on my Virtual screen, I can also just see my real TV too. On Quest 3, the passthrough video is clear enough to see about a 720p equivalent resolution at a comfortable viewing distance(40 degrees of your field of view). 720p may sound low, but it wasn’t that long ago that we were happy to see 540p (DvD quality) as a huge upgrade to what movies used to look like before. And Quest 4 will improve upon that too.

VR has only just crossed the first threshold into main stream adoption. The Quest 3 was the first headset that is worth it to non early adopters. They will only get better from here on. Not to mention they are also coming the other way, with AR stuff starting as light weight and unintrusive as possible and slowly building on what is possible to pack in without getting in the way at all. Step 2 of the AR sunglasses is coming soon.

While VR is the “console” of the future, AR is the “mobile phone” of the future. And eventually they will meet and blur the lines, kind of like how we use phones now. Modern smartphones are both what cellphones used to be, as well as surprisingly capable portable console gaming now.

They both suck. But one is for sure getting the job. Which one do you want? You have to pick one. You can protest it and hope to change it, but nothing like that can happen in time, you will be stuck with one of these two people. Please at least try to pick the one that has less terrible things on their resume and then actually protest for proper change. If you pick the wrong guy, you also won’t be able to protest for any kind of change.

Makes sense.

Ah, I thought populous was more popular than that. I guess it was just popular in my friend group at the time. Would have been populous 1 and 2 we were playing, I didn’t even know a third one came out. I guess the most recent god game would be Godus, developed by peter molyneux’s current company. Essentially a modern sequel to populous 1 and 2. I haven’t actually tried it yet, last I looked it was still in beta or early access or something. And it looks like that makes sense as it apparently has been in early access for over 10 years… it seems decently high rated, but that is kind of concerning none the less.

It depends if “public comment” is akin to going on the record. Then staying silent means they didn’t say anything, and not making a public comment means they said something to us that we promised not to make public.

Saying something not on the record is actually pretty common. And is most of what private sources are about and for. They might be able to point a reporter to someone or something that would be able to be reported on. Trust is a super important difference between an established reporter and a new reporter.

Yeah, but at least they’re finally moving up relative to other countries. They don’t usually do that. Hopefully it isn’t indicative of them standing still and the other countries they passed just getting worse, lol.

The thing is, most people wouldn’t lie about this sort of thing. Or even be capable of making it up. Our minds just don’t work this way. If any of this was incongruent from what we already publicly see from him, it would be harder to believe. But it exactly follows every other “hot mic” situation he has had so far. It’s not like we’re taking it on faith that some otherwise completely upstanding citizen is rumored to have done one terrible thing behind closed doors. Even if it turns out this specific thing isn’t one of the things he said, he has said worse anyway, and not even behind closed doors. This would just pile on to an already disgusting pile of terrible things to say about people.

He literally didn’t lie, dumb people misunderstood a thing. Go back and look at the post yourself. Don’t just get a second hand opinion of it from a dumb person.

If their lives are artificially shortened by one specific condition, why not let them live to what would otherwise be their natural life span? If they could live to 30, it’s not like they would be the equivalent of on their death bed for the last 15 years. They are robbed of what would otherwise be healthy years by this.

No life span increase is ever about how many more deathbed years you get, they are about how many more healthy years you get before having the same amount of time on your death bed later.

And it’s not even just that he won’t leave, since he’s gonna die pretty soon just of “natural” causes, if natural is what we have to wait for. He’ll make changes that permanently affect the role too. Going back to democracy from dictator generally takes extreme violence historically. And generally outside influence. The states becoming a dictatorship is basically setting up world war 3. With a decent chance of the states not being the winner. Especially if Trump is planning on following whatever Putin is feeding him for the changes to make. Cuz we know that would be Putins goal. And all Trump cares about is going down in history, not sure it matters to him what he’s remembered for, or he’s convinced himself, or been convinced this will be seen as a positive move.

There are plenty examples that racism isn’t dead, this isn’t one of them, you interpreted it incorrectly.

Well, they detected destroyed versions of the virus in pasteurized milk, so unless something else destroyed them before the pastuerization would have done so, there is a chance raw milk would have live virus in it. But it is certainly possible something else was responsible for destroying it before it got into the milk. I sure wouldn’t take the chance myself, it’s already a pretty bad idea to drink raw milk without this added.

That’s just a bunch of big science words for “exotic”, doesn’t exotic milk sound delicious? I’ll drink my wild and untamed milk that is free from all the rules society uses to make it boring and safe. And since even I’m not sure if this is coming across sarcastic, /s. And for good measure, /poe’s.

Thousands of videos exist of that too. We don’t have to guess what happened, we know how many of them were not peaceful. We also know what their goals were and how close they got to achieving them.

Just like all the video analysis and the physical evidence at these scenes tell us how peaceful they indeed were.

Speaking of video footage, have you recently rewatched footage of the jan 6 riots, even stuff they released themselves that they thought was showing themselves in a positive light at the time…

It kind of sucks that having literal video proof of how it all went down doesn’t actually matter. They just say whatever they want, and so many people will never look into it, just take their word.

I’m assuming the magazine size. Which is generally why magazine size is the common way to enforce which rifles are considered problematic for home ownership.

What “shit” would have to go down to where you would need to have each others backs? You know your opponents are the ones that don’t even want to own guns… you don’t have to be terrified of us.

Users don’t write the headlines, this is the article headline. And she’s not a dude.

Seems like it’s a you problem.
