I turned on an older device yesterday and opened my old reddit app. It still works. I have no idea if it’s because it’s an old version of the app or if the policy got quietly changed. Or what. But it definitely works. I could read, up vote, and comment.

Do they move the cargo into smaller vehicles to get into the city? Or schedule the deliveries for low traffic times? Or just say fuck it and head into traffic?

That’s not happening with Millennials. You can debate why, but the data is clear.

This chart in particular is extremely telling.

I did the math a few years ago because I couldn’t find anyone else who had published it. This is rough and IANAM (mathmagicman).

Every single day 8,000 boomers and above die, and 12,000 people turn 18 and those numbers are actually accelerating. If you use existing data to estimate conservative/liberal and likely voters within those groups it works out to a delta of 10,000 per day on a national scale. That’s 5,000 votes switching every single day. That might not seem like alot. Because it really isn’t. Out of 155 million votes cast, 10,000 is .006 percent. But here’s the thing. It’s cumulative. And it just doesn’t stop. It is relentless. it’s 300k a month, 3.6 million per year. And that pace is accelerating. Between 2020 and 2024 it’s a 15 million vote difference. By 2028 it’s 30 million.

It used to be that people age into conservatism. But that is not happening with millennials. The demographics are changing, and changing quickly. The most conservative group in the country is dying. While the most liberal group is rising.

We just have to hold on to democracy for a few more years. This will all be behind us. Another 10k today.

Well they stop playing when my phone rings. So…yeah.

I have several tumblers. They all get used for different things.

Agreed. Make him a martyr now and someone will take the mantle.

Actually laughed out loud.

The campaign hasn’t started yet. Right now, it’s a one sided conversation. And the polls are all based on people who answer unknown numbers and land lines. It’s a built in selection bias.

Every single election both large and small since 2020 has been heavily skewed to the left. I’m not saying don’t worry, but dont despair. And work on convincing your friends. That’s the single best thing you could possibly do.

I completely agree. And although some polls indicate Trump strength, Biden hasn’t begun yet. The campaign hasn’t started. When it does, I really think it’s a clear Trump defeat.

And that doesn’t even take into account how polling landlines introduces a huge sampling bias. I have my cell phone set on do not disturb unless you’re in my contact list. Most tech savy people don’t answer unknown numbers.

They know it. The powers that be realize Trump is unelectable.

Yes. We will go back to fighting about policy rather than the existence of democracy.

The number is 10k per day.

Not Donkey Doug! He’s my boy! I don’t think of him as my boy, I think of him as my boy! Yeah, but it’s more like… “That’s my son right there, son.” But not, like, “son-son”, but, like, “my boy”. But not, like…

The cyber truck is an ugly joke. But the stock will hold up until there is another stylish and popular alternative.

Same. Although it wasn't easy.

That kind of language shift is stupid. Changing words because you don't like the connotation is just denying reality. The connotation comes from what the word means. It's not the word itself. Homeless has horrible connotation because of what it is describing. If you change the word, eventually it will gain the same baggage.

Homeless is the perfect example of this because that was the new soft word. It replaced vagrant or bum.

43. I want to punch that guy for throwing everything away because he thinks he's older than us.

His SAVE program for Student Loans is fucking incredible. It dropped a crippling payment down to $32 a month. He may be old, but that has really helped me. I support him completely.

Tap. Tap. It's not working.
