It wasn’t the time before we lost either.

Saying you understand why something happened isn’t being smug or in any way happy about the outcome.

Stop externalizing your poor mental state and take a break from the internet or something.

Panic doesn’t help anything. Neither does horror. We survived one Trump presidency, we’ll survive this one, despite it being monumentally worse.

Do what you can to help those you can around you. Work in and grow the support structures in your local community, family, and social circles.

Panic leads to stupid, rash, not well thought out decisions. It should be avoided as much as possible while you take a long, honest, realistic look at the situation and evaluate what is and isn’t in your power to effect.

You’re right that passive defeatism isn’t helpful, but you don’t have to go straight to the other extreme of emotional turmoil.

I feel this so much in my fucking bones. They’ve been doing that since Hillary’s campaign. I think I’ve given up hope that they’ll learn, considering they’ve had this long already.

So… money laundering and a tool for storing assets in non-liquid form, as usual with the high end art world.

I know I’m welcoming a shitstorm for saying this, but there’s been some evidence of this sort of thing pushing the blue side as well during previous elections. I believe it was found to just be general election interference and dissent sowing by Russia.

I have a strong abiding loathing for Gearbox’s CEO, Randy Pritchford, but the team they have behind RoR2 now seem to really want to do a good job. They’ve been very up front, in a way I only sometimes see with small indie devs, about the process of fixing core game parts they managed to break when they released the core game patch that coincided with this DLC.

I’m still waiting a good long while before I touch RoR2 again, but I feel like it will be fixed eventually. Can’t say that for all of my games.

Again? I remember firesheep, where you could grab them over the air from other computers on the same wifi. Wasn’t this supposed to be solved by https?

At least it’s a good NES game.

US- Wife went 30 minutes after polls opened and ended up waiting an hour today. New location for us, so don’t know if this is normal here. I’ll edit later with my experience.

Edit: Went around 3pm and waited maybe 5 mins

Yeah, I’m a big supporter of expanding the nuclear footprint as more green options (and power storage solutions) are further developed (and in addition to rollout of those options), but this is outrageous.

This isn’t even to power critical communications infrastructure that needs to be disaster resistant, like any of the internet backbone locations.
