...why wasn't this handled by the Postal Inspectors?

I assumed someone repeatedly breaking into PO boxes is something they would actually want to investigate...?

This copium is off the charts ridiculous.

I don't want Trump to win, which is why I think it's incredibly unhelpful to spread the delusion that current polling is favorable to a Biden victory.

That wasn't even true before the debate, but at least there were enough polls within the margin of error that it was possible.

Biden's polling has only gone down since then, while Trump's have trended upwards. Not by the same margins, but still, opposite directions.

This article is actually arguing about changes in polls that are less than 0.5%, seriously, it's a joke...

Here is an aggregated page that links out to over 50 different polls for Georgia, one of the states mentioned in the article where Trump it's supposedly hurting, according to that article:

Here's that same aggregated polling information for the other two states mentioned in the article:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president-michigan.html

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/elections/polls-president-north-carolina.html

Take a look and tell me if that article, much less it's headline, have any bearing on reality.

Did no one read the article?

This was actual legally defined bribery of a state lawmaker and the accused executive is going on trial.

What the article doesn't address is whether the legislation this bribe was paid for, will be repealed or impacted.

FYI it was a bill to remove AT&T's obligations as a Carrier of Last Resort in Illinois.

It may be spontaneous.

It may be destructive.

But goddammit, it's collective action and I'm thrilled to fucking see it.

The issue wasn't athletes cheating individually. The issue was that Russia had a state sponsored doping program from top to bottom. That is significantly different than one off athletes, or one off coaches.

Completely abandoned their original hobbyist customer base and sent all their inventory to B2B sales channels and scalpers for several years.

And now that they're finally providing B2C vendors with stock, they've jacked up the prices by 100% to 300%.

Don't forget the Raspberry Pi foundation was supposed to be a nonprofit and the only reason they're the premier SBC is the community. Other boards have better specs, at a better price, with better features. The community support, the hobbyists, are the primary reason why they are what they are.

That's just one bad action, but their had been plenty others recently. Some other comments here have provided information you should read, such as hiring police officers who specialized in using Pi's for surveillance..

He killed the man who had molested him for years not as revenge, but because he HAD STARTED TO MOLEST HIS 6YR OLD NEPHEW.

He should have NEVER gone to prison, much less be deported.

This is actually hilarious, in a very dark tragic comedy sort of way.

The feature scans and categorizes important documents e.g. passports, IDs, etc., and it's a feature of Google's official Files app.

Instead of dropping support and phasing it out, they're going to kill it and DELETE all of those critical documents for users.

JFC. Awesome.

Thank you for saying this, it's what I was coming here to do.

I was laughing, until I read the article. It's fucking horrifying. Schadenfreude should be proportional.

NFT morons losing their money? Hilarious.

Losing their eyesight? Not funny. Not proportional. Just horrific.

Now, if the Nazi fetishizing scam artist asshats that run Bored Ape were blinded by the light at their own convention? That, in my view, would be proportional Schadenfreude.

Just remember not to try and impress a girl back on Ceres by trying to slingshot through the ring.

RIP

No one is pearl clutching over dead soldiers, but when you machine gun down several hundred music festival attendees (incl. foreign nationals), rape the women, parade their naked defiled corpses around so others can spit on them, and upload the video to share with everyone, you're going to get some international condemnation and re-evaluation of support.

He was shot 7 times. I'd bet this was personal, or that he was specifically targeted.

To be clear, I know nothing other than what I just read in the article, but someone had to really want him dead to shoot him seven times, and no one else i.e. not a mass shooting.
