Oh, you’re right — looks like they upped it to 18. That’s way better.

Yeah, they give you that option to set a window during which it won’t update, but it’s limited to 8 hours in duration. My workaround is a scheduled task that shifts the window an hour forward in time every hour. That way as far as Windows is concerned it is always within that 8-hour window.

Wow, we see the same facts and come to completely different conclusions.

Right, the problem is that those lunatics might well get their usual nonsense. We need to either wait for the boomers to go away forever or work out some sort of de-brainwashing program that will get the rocks out of their heads.

...unless the state is dominated by a single political party, which most are, which is the same reason that Senators from single-party states tend to be from that party. So, the only difference is that the Senate will be beholden only to elites in the state party infrastructure, and not to the people at all. No thank…

You’re still misunderstanding or misrepresenting the concept of gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is not a particular example of MAUP — it’s more like MAUP is an excuse for it. Gerrymandering is a product of the distinct dynamics of our two-party system. It is a cultural entity of the United States. MAUP manifests in any…

This is exactly the opposite of cool.

Yeah, this article is a lot of “This guy is the worst thing that could possible happen to the Presidency, but our team is winning! Yay!”

This, but also, it’s his father.

ALL of them, by virtue of appearing in the Times. *shakes head*

Yeah, no. I’m sorry you can’t think of anything better to do with your time, but blanket dismissing everyone who writes for the Times is unhelpful, and also lazy. Making specific critiques is easy and fun, as is criticizing the page’s editors or the paper’s editorial board, and takes minimal effort. And offers you the…

Your heart’s clearly in the right spot, but you’re all over the place here, and I don’t think it’s helpful. This reply basically restates what I wrote initially, which you argued with based on not reading it very carefully, but now with the added twist of an ad hominem attack on NYT writers, which is both stupid and…

You’re right, the nonsense certainly hasn’t ended - I do mean that it’s just lessened in intensity. But the centrist-minded Democrats I interact with in life have grown significantly less dismissive of these policy positions over the past couple of years. Also, I’m always at least a little skeptical that people on…

But centrism arrives at its cowardly conclusions as a matter of strategy, not values — after all, centrism is not rooted in values, it is rooted in a desire for power. So arguments like this, which argue that good politics can yield power, can help soften the center and help centrists who are inclined to do so feel OK…

Sanders didn’t lose the primary until the convention — and if you disagree, you can thank the superdelegates for making that a matter of interpretation in the first place. And once he did that, he did support Clinton, consistently and energetically, and most Sanders supporters did too. But most Sanders supporters who…

You’re right — none of that shit matters! What matters is that Democrats did not win the election. Who is ultimately responsible for that? *Anyone who wanted Democrats to win the election*. Is that you? Great! Is that me? Yes! Cool, we all fucking lost. Together. It is comically unproductive for Clinton supporters to…

This narrative literally is fiction. But sure, tell yourself people just are doing it wrong, and not that there are reasons or causes or that you might have any responsibility. Because your comprehension of “basic civics” is so deep!

Yo, read this out loud to yourself a few times and then please sit down forever: HILLARY CLINTON LOST THE ELECTION TO DONALD TRUMP. And before you go, be sure to note how many times Bernie Sanders’ name appears in this statement of fact.

Ironically, this applies to people who voted for Clinton in the primary and now blame Sanders supporters for her losing the general — 100000000 times more than to people who voted for Bernie in the primary and Clinton in the general -- which is almost every Bernie primary voter.

The narcissism of Clinton cultists never ceases to amaze. OFC you don’t care whether someone actually VOTED for Clinton or not — simply doubting her, for any reason, justifies your scorn. Never mind that the candidate you thought would be best won the nomination and then lost the election — clearly, that is the fault…
