I can't really say you're wrong, since we will never know. I had the feeling that Biden was reluctant to do anything because of the incoming elections, whereas Harris might have done something. But alas, we'll never know.

(as a side note, I feel like you'd have gotten away with both parties better here, as the "both sides" is typically just used to equate nazis with regular people and normalize/excuse their behavior - nothing wrong with hating the term)

There's indication Netanyahu wants to seize parts of Gaza into Israel. If it comes to that, there is no way Trump is going to do anything about it (except try to extract maximal gain for himself in terms of favors etc.)

Also, this time they (Rs) are prepared.

No one is expecting "world to end". It's just going to get somewhat shittier whereas it could have gotten better or at least stayed the same. Also for some minorities it's going to get a lot shittier.

I know it's tempting to down vote this, but don't shoot the messenger.

Instead, see the news as the evidence of what a piece of shit JR is. In saying that, I feel obliged to link this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EuKibmlll4

Such a weird rule, but can't disagree with the supreme court.

I typically listen to these after taking my morning LSD, and do get some psychoactive effects. Strangely the effects are completely different if I take amphetamines or light up the afternoon crack pipe before listening.

Seriously tho, I just started to listen to this for the first time ever, and it does work as a pretty effective and non-intrusive noise blocker. Easy to ignore.

Edit: never mind the second point, the surroundings just got quieter at the same time I started to listen.

I hope it will not be Florida of 2000 election all over again, but in a massive scale.

It's insane, Gore won by several thousand votes, if not tens of thousands.

I don't think fusion would be as useful a technology as it would have been a few decades ago. Now renewables (wind, solar, hydro) seem like more and more as the clean and cheap energy of the future. The biggest problem of storage is rapidly being solved with batteries springing up everywhere.

The real problem with fusion is that even if it worked, the plants would be very complex and expensive. It would be much cheaper and reliable to build solar, wind and batteries instead.

Having operational fusion reactors would be cool as hell, but it wouldn't have that much impact on our lives in the end.

No, it's actually a comment section for a Youtube video, and it is appropriate to voice an opinion related to it here.

The meme you're parroting fits better when someone goes wildly off-topic, which is not what happened here.

Here is an Iron Law I have learned from two decades on Facebook: If you are 39 years old and married with two children, you do not get this ripped unless you are deeply unhappy.

Oh man, that hurt.

Sorry I can't really contribute to your question, but would anyway like to take the opportunity to air my grievances: I hate Youtube shorts and TikToks with fierce passion. The format of short videos makes sense and is a good idea to some extent, but who the hell decided we're not allowed to rewind our videos anymore? I want to hunt down that person, go to their house at night and tell them that they are not very good at their job so loud that their whole family can hear it.
