Comment Absolutely competent for the office (Score 2) 17

Tell us you don't know any old people without saying you don't know any old people.

I'm starting to believe that Joe Biden is exactly the president we need right now. Yes, he hesitates in speech sometimes. Yes, he's old. But in most of the world, age is actually respected. And most important to me, he has demonstrated actual character over the years. You can't fake that. Right wing jackoffs hate it when a leader shows character, and watching them make fools of themselves over Biden is an added benefit.

I think he's doing fine.

FTFY. Oh, and an offtopic educational link for you grocers and foreigners and others who don't understand English:

I see enough of that shit on Farcebook. Note, I've been staying away from /. for the same reason, the normals have taken over the site.

20% of Wyomings power is from wind. 75% is from coal.

And 90% is from right-wing bullshit that the faux "cowboys" eat up because they think it makes them look manly, when it fact, they're some of the biggest welfare queens in the country. Their government ranks #5 in the states most dependent on Federal money, then they brag about not having a state income tax.

That's why they changed it from "Unidentified Flying Object" to "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena". The one I saw a half century ago was certainly not a space ship, unless Douglas Adams was right about scale, because it was smaller than a basketball. It was bright and fuzzy, rode next to my car for a couple of miles until I crossed a stream, when it zigged at 45 MPH at a right angle and followed the stream.

I wondered what it was for years before I learned about ball lightning, which is what it had to have been. My guess is ball lightning is a lot more common up there where the fighter jets play.

Are they also going to investigate why the owner of FTX was the second largest democratic party donor, next to Soros?

Will they also investigate why the CEO of FTX gave $24 million to Republicans?

https://www.politico.com/news/...

"Bankman-Fried was among the most significant donors to Democrats during the cycle, distributing more than $40 million through direct contributions and super PACs. Salame gave roughly $24 million to Republicans."

Without prominent podcasters, could you make a case for Spotify over say Amazon Music or even iTunes?

There are a lot of Spotify users who do not use the service to listen to podcasts. Making it a pure music platform and investing that podcast money into better recommendation algorithms and paying artists could appeal to those people. Me, I get tired of seeing podcasts getting pushed on me every time I start Spotify.

There are better platforms for listening to podcasts anyway, and one of the big draws of podcasts in the first place has always been to find voices that were not "prominent".
