the DNC kinda prevents legitimate alternatives from succeeding though. It doesn’t have to be this way but the party keeps it like this, maintaining the incumbent as the only choice.

People want more options and they would be available if it was remotely possible to overcome the DNC’s favoritism to Biden.

how is Biden the only person that can beat Trump? What left-leaning person would go “hmm, it’s not Biden so I guess I’m voting Trump”?

Do you think even swapping Bernie in now that he could beat Trump?

This question broke me. If the left-leaning voting population of the USA can’t support a single candidate against freaking Trump except Biden then we deserve whatever disaster occurs. That’s embarrassing. Truly childish levels of spitefulness.

this is kinda a ridiculous request. The DNC should be the ones actively finding and presenting alternatives. If it was any other election year what if something happened to their primary candidate?

No one publicly shows interest because the party prevents any alternative. Anyone trying to run is accused of trying to break up the party, look at what happened to Bernie.

Hope you’re having a good day.

thanks, I am 👍 hope you are as well, cheers

that’s what I was trying to say 😞

I can’t tell if you’re aware or not but that is how the law works in Florida

edit: to be clear, I’m saying it’s messed up and abused in that way already

I can’t stop listening to this specific one, it’s been months and everyday I listen to it at work

these methods don’t account for all the variables that reality has. People across all boarding groups will be late, there will be people that need assistance from flight attendants, there will be people who want to switch seats to be near their family, there will be people who can’t sit in the exit row, there will be people who need to use the rest room, there will be people who’ve never been on a plane before.

There is no great, full proof way to handle it because people are unpredictable

I flew around 26 times domestically last year and most of the flights ran out of space. It’s really common for the airline to ask for volunteers to check their carry-ons. If you aren’t in the first 2/3rds of people on the plane, you’ll likely be forced to check your carry-ons.

This problem has gotten worse over the years because airlines have increased the prices for checking your luggage so many people opt to bring carry-ons instead.

but not everyone wants to buy yet (younger people, people who want flexibility, people who know they are moving [only in that city for school], etc).

People don’t want to buy a house because it’s either unaffordable, unavailable or the process takes too long. If you eliminate those aspects of home ownership, people wouldn’t mind and maybe even prefer owning a home for short periods of time.

that’s a lot of assumptions about what these people are thinking

I’ve been mostly making games for fun and am fairly risk adverse so am planning on sticking with a stable job and making games in my free time.

It’s discouraging, but it is reality. I still want to try, but definitely not putting more than one egg in this basket.

I’ll admit I’m knowingly doing the following haha

hopefully it’ll at least be a positive experience and I learn something from it

I’ve been doing itch and jams for a little bit, even managed to win one once. I’ve learned a lot but can’t shake this feeling that I’m just making free games for itch. You might be right though… whatever kind of sea of games I think itch is, the mobile sea may be a lot worse.

ooph, I just started trying to make a mobile game in Jan 😬

this makes so much sense, how do you know all this?

it’s a tough choice but I made a similar one. I shave my head every week or so with clippers with the smallest guard. I don’t like how shiny my head is sometimes but eh, overall it saves a lot of time and money. It’s not a big deal but society makes it feel like it is, especially if you’re a woman

have you seen Forbrydelsen / The Killing?
