Once I saw Apple took down Parler, I just went to the website and created my account. The site appears extremely active. I bet I’m not the only one who was driven to actually sign up from this.
I’ve never used an app for .win and I don’t need one for Parler. I’ll admit their website isn’t that polished but that’s to be expected when they were putting resources into the apps. I’m sure they’ll just focus on the site now and it’ll get a lot smoother soon.
They’re backups. Not active right now. If this one goes down go to one of those.
I’m in Texas and would absolutely vote for secession. Unfortunately, the more likely outcome is more people continue fleeing CA to Texas and instead of seceding it falls under Democratic control.
If Texas is going to secede, it either has to basically happen right now. Even in four years it will be too late and the state will be blue.
Lol who cares? We need to be focusing on buliding our own social infrastructure, not using the enemy's platform.
High-level gist is that it's not a direct popular vote. Instead, each state hosts a popular vote. The winner of that determines the winner of that state. Each state has a fixed number of electoral votes attached to it, based roughly (but not exactly) on population/size. If a candidate wins a state, they get that state's electoral votes. To win the election, you have to get 270 or more electoral votes.
There are some low-level details, like technically it's up to the states to decide whether they want to use the "winner takes all" approach to awarding their electoral votes. So there are some small and largely inconsequential exceptions to the above.
I consider TX a short-term win, long-term loss. The writing is on the wall. It's purple, and Republicans are going to have to start adjusting their strategy to ensure they retain TX. It's going to become more like FL, but more important due to the larger EC vote count.
Lol, it's hilarious how desperate the reporting is.
Electoral vote tallies right now don't mean anything, my friend. This is like a line of dominoes. There are some key pieces that need to be knocked over and the rest follows. Right now we're watching if those key pieces do get knocked over (and it's looking solid).
Relax, my friend. It's mainly Harris County (Houston), Austin, and Dallas right now. The rest of the state hasn't submitted any votes.
The "polling errors" are fundamental and systemic: the people who care about and respond to polls are precisely the people who are flipping out about a possible Trump win. There's no way to "correct" for this.
Somebody needs to get Trump to tweet about this. Then they can't censor it.
It was no different in 2016. Remember, the NYT was showing Clinton with a 99% chance of winning all the way up to election day as the electoral votes kept piling up for Trump, and when the whole "pussy" tape came out every media site said Trump's campaign was effectively over and the election decided. His opponent didn't matter in 2016 either.
This time, instead of dealing with that tape, he's going into the election with a Supreme Court justice getting confirmed.
At the same time, it's completely misleading to report all of these deaths as unambiguously COVID deaths, because they weren't. Many of these people would've died from almost any infection. Many would've died without any infection at all.
This isn't the approach that folks normally take. If a family member has severe heart disease and one day they get the flu and die, sure, they can get counted as a death due to the flu and you can understand the flu as technically having dealt the deathblow. But everyone knows that it was severe heart disease which was their undoing, including their doctors. The difference between the flu and COVID is that with the latter we have a huge national media apparatus trying to inflate the number of COVID deaths as much as possible, completely ignoring all involved complications.
It's a matter of how you count the deaths. What they reported was that 94% of COVID deaths were in people with comorbidities, often 2-3 or more. That means only 6% of the reported COVID deaths were only caused by COVID, which is under 10k deaths.
For example, when my grandfather died years ago of Parkinson's disease, what technically killed him in the end was a simple case of pneumonia. That was the cause of death. But everyone involved understood that he had gotten to a point where almost any infection would've killed him, including the flu, the common cold, and presumably COVID had it existed.
If he'd been alive today and gotten COVID instead of pneumonia, he'd have been a COVID casualty. Folks like him are that 94%.
Asian countries are going to destroy the US in the next 50 years. Our run at the top is over.
The NFL needs to die out anyway. The sport played at that level causes severe lifelong brain damage in 90%+ of its players. It needs to just cease to exist.
The OP isn't saying for Trump to not doing anything. They're saying that Tump supporters should hold back.
Let Democrats continue burning their own cities. Let them commit the murders. And let them lose in November.
Aside from slavery itself, allowing freed slaves to stay in this country is the biggest mistake the US ever made. Everyone in the Confederacy knew it and allowed it to happen.
Black people were not ready to be part of this country as citizens, and 150 years later they still rove the streets in gangs committing random crime and murders.
Any advice on how I should tweak my LinkedIn profile?
The name alone would really give it away in my case, and with my name, email, personal website, LinkedIn, GitHub, etc., it would be pretty easy to confirm if the name wasn't evidence enough.
This is a tough period, but the fast we stop relying on Democrat-controlled infrastructure the better. Getting this site off Reddit was the best thing that could’ve happened for it.
This isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. These companies only have power because we’ve chosen to use them. It won’t be easy migrating away, but it will be possible. And then they won’t have any power at all.
