You're not giving the birds enough credit here. Only two wars have been waged against them and they're 2-0. Fuckers know what they're doing.

Data aside, the GOP has been uniting over the RNC and joining hands for their support of the candidate while the Democrats are imploding and casting doubt on themselves left and right. Will be curious to see how things shift in terms of polling. But at the end of the day, we have two very different candidates with different values. Would not surprise me to see a shift like we did in France and UK where last minute coalitions tip the scales.

It's easy to complain now about disliking one candidate over another, but when left with the final decision at the end of the day, things change.

The supporters aren't going anywhere though, even if the bullet hit. And JD Vance has essentially inherited the MAGA base now such that the movement doesn't die with Trump anymore. Pence was never going to really do that when he was VP. But Vance could carry the torch as running mate and gave the party a more clear view of what succession looks like.

Or alternately you jumped around a lot, make much more than your peers, and getting towards mid/late in your career where you become the target of layoffs for costing more than everyone else.

If you claim to be a porn addict but have never been tempted by or succumbed to spending money on porn, are you really an addict?

Regardless of how the debate goes, Trump supporters will already defend his performance and conservative media will talk about how Trump dominated and humiliated Biden.

Tbf, Biden supporters will probably do something similar.

We are in an awkward position where the opponents are so polarized that debates and discourse does very little to sway the bases. And the so called undecided votes have such eclectic criteria that it makes it difficult to pin down what they really want.

Wore glasses for almost my whole life. Never touch them with your hands, don't splatter foods when eating, position them so your lashes don't touch them if possible. I always keep some microfiber cloths and lens cleaning solution at my desk.

But got lasik over a year ago. Sure the dry eyes are a pain in dry weather, but it's nicer than not having to worry about smudging my glasses. Also, even though there is some light flaring at night if my eyes are dry, it's not as bad as when I get them with glasses that have microscratches on them.

I still notice when other people who have glasses have smudges all over them and they seem to not be bothered by it. Even I'm bother by seeing it imagining how bad everything must look. Hell, even a speck of dust annoys me while wearing glasses if it's in the right spot.

There were replies between the messages so the notifications wouldn't show messages that were already considered read. Just seemed scripted. Unless the wife was the one who sent the first 2 replies.

Not worth getting hung up on authenticity though since there will never be a way to prove if it's wrong or real. I just try to appreciate the humor and assume it was faked either way.
