Alaska, a red state, is reportedly trying to remove their rank choice voting. This isn't a "Dems" problem, it's a two party problem.

Even if state and local elections are ranked choice, the presidential election will still be a first past the post election and the electoral college is still designed for a two party system.

so that people know where Politico stands in terms of being a trustworthy source

I just assume all media actually want a Trump victory, because they get money writing articles and the money was good his first term. If Trump is good at anything, it's making headlines.

To add on to everyone else mentioning it, another benefit to password managers is that they auto filter themselves to the URL. So if you have a password saved for macys.com and get phished to macys-passwordreovery.com, the password manager won't know the URL and offer no filtering. Adding the extra step of having to manually find your password entry should be a flag itself that something might be wrong.

From my time on Reddit years ago this question came up.

Some cashier's said they reciprocate the exchange back to the customer. If the customer puts cash on the counter for them to pick up, they'll put the change on the counter in return.

There also was probably some new training from covid where you didn't want to touch people directly, so those training materials probably still exist

The mast majority of legal precedings end with a plea deal.

"Plea guilty to this misdemeanor with a fine and walk out of jail today, or wait in jail for 3 months and fight an uphill court case where people will blindly trust the police and we can fabricate any narrative we want"

"Oh you want to fight and post bail? Okay well for three months we require biweekly drug screenings you pay for, you have a curfew, and if the police can come up with some other bs charge while you're out, we get to tack on bail jumping"

It's not hard to see why people will admit to being guilty while innocent when pleading guilty won't result in jail time

Something tells me it was longer than 0.74 seconds. And typically the person that suffers the consequences of the lead car not paying attention is the cars further back sitting through another light cycle because you can't put down candy crush while driving

Isnt that how all social media sites start out. Starts with nerd culture and eventually other people come in later?

I feel like everyone is missing the line that says "before it came out". However, I find that hard to believe that 1 million people played a pirated copy before the release date and i can't remember any leaked gameplay or screenshots.

You should look for Last Week Tonight's segment on Elon. I think John Olivers take was fair.
