Do you need a sign for every decision you make?

A funny thing about life is a lot of things happen unofficially, and humans do fine at adjusting to such situations.

Their guess sounds really plausible though

Sorry to pick on your comment, but I have a question about a statement everyone seems to assert…

Is he charismatic? No.

(As a disclaimer I’m out of touch with people’s impressions on this)

I don’t understand this statement from everyone. Charismatic compared to what? He’s way more charismatic than most humans - he’s a career politician who manages thousands of relationships. He snaps off solid one-liners to shut down trolls. He leaned into the Dark Brandon thing. If he spent effort seeming even more charismatic, I’d be more concerned about his fitness for the job.

Put another way, I see him as having the right balance of charisma for voters aged 35+.

What are people wishing we had instead of that, in a presidential candidate?

Facts weren’t the answer for that group to begin with, so not much is changing for them.

I’m sure you haven’t

Yea that wasn’t meant to downplay the skill required to hang. But relatively speaking, defending with a goal to clinch up takes a ton less effort and risk than pursuing an offensive striking game.

Looking from the other direction, it is incredibly difficult to actually knock someone out who is only defending and waiting to get close to you.

Yea judoka had no striking game and boxer had no wrestling game. Under these conditions the grappler could just wait out the striker until catching a grapple, then win. This is why the Gracie family pushed UFC in the 90s, because karate-and-boxing-obsessed US audiences were constantly surprised by these matches, and it led to more people signing up for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

Nice try Rupert Murdoch

This is only one example, but a lot of people are interested in studying top performers like Olympians etc. and what things are different about them. In studies like those, genes are relevant, as are performance results.

Hoo-wee you’re gonna be extra disappointed about that particular demographic then

Too bad you managed to make it to 40 without developing any sense of perspective

Boy are you gonna be disappointed to learn who’s on the internet then

Nothing you typed makes this situation seem less terrifying.

Where do you think people live who post about moving to lower COL areas?

With cold hard facts like “some places in Virginia” where cost of living can be reported as “pretty high” I can see why you needed to post this scathing dismissal

Anyway typical home price in VA is $377k while the typical price in California is $761k

Same problem. No other ways to verify, just my FULLY CORRECT PASSWORD, so Google has decided I’ll never get to access my old account again.

I posted about it on the Google forum and was told by a self important community person that it is my fault for not logging back into that account to set up backups.

Happy to switch off Gmail now, but it won’t get my old emails with bygone friends and family back.

My fault for expecting my password to get me into my account. Fuck Google man.

Only 9 Republicans voted to oust him
