The fact that Trump’s odds have shot up in the last couple days does NOT make me feel better.

adults who think it awesome to humiliate a 20 year old publicly.

Oh, I’m sure President Obama will have tons of other wide-reaching charitable and civic stuff to do... I could especially see him continuing his “my brothers keeper” youth mentor organizing for young black men. But I can see him holding a part-time professorship as a way to have a “job where you go to work with…

I highly doubt either one of them re-enters politics. I could see Barack going back to Chicago and being a law school prof. Michelle is going to end up on the boards of like a million charity organizations, and write a couple books, but - this is key - she’s not going to start or run her own foundation, now that the…

No. Shepard Smith is the one I want, if we’re going to have one from Fox News, moderating the debate. Chris Wallace is smarmy as fuck.

That’s un-American.

They do a bunch of stuff that, presumably, you wouldn’t need an android to do, and its just kind of waved off by the show. They talk to each other when no humans are around at all? The excuse, “its all error correction” just rings kind of hollow... they could exchange information and do that error correcting…

PreCheck is great... if the airport you’re flying out of has a precheck line. I flew out of Spokane, WA a couple weeks ago (the smaller Alaska terminal) and there was no separate line (there is in their larger terminal). I got a laminated yellow card to wave around that let me keep my shoes on, but otherwise, I still…

Yepp, and need to add it’s only $15 more for global entry and pre-check, if you travel internationally a lot. Lot of value in the time saved.

Dude, you need to recognize satire when its staring you in the face.

And technically, Canada is just one of the “constituent countries” of what they call the English commonwealth, each of which are ruled by Queen Elizabeth as figurehead. When she eventually dies, she passes on the thrones to each of the Commonwealth realms to her many heirs, according to her will. I think Prince George…

I despise Trump and I’m absolutely voting for Clinton (actually already did, by mail)... but I think Trump is going to outperform polls. Reactionary anger brings out the votes almost as well as idealistic enthusiasm. Obama had the latter to lean on, Trump has the former, and Hillary has neither one.

Obama won’t pull his nomination. I get the impression he genuinely likes and respects Merrick Garland and wants him on the court, even if he is a little more centrist than, say, Sotomayor. 

I’ve seen that map plenty, and as a student of geography, I can tell you: that was specifically designed to accomplish the (stupid) goal of segregating people politically, rather than having much to do with actual cultural commonality. The summary paragraphs for each “nation” are stuffed with stereotypes that are far…

Also, keep in mind that even the reddest state has a bare minimum of 20% or so Democrat voters, even if we’re starting from the (morally distasteful) standpoint of only blue state lives matter.

But the current Pope sounds like he would almost be a pretty good POTUS.

Amazon Fire tablets aren’t really meant for installing apps. They are really geared to be cheap, nearly disposable “screens” for media consumption - from Amazon, Netflix, HBO, etc. Or, if you put a SD card in, for saved movies / TV (such as downloadable Amazon Prime video). They also function as a serviceable, cheap,…

I tried Prime Pantry once, but now I’m addicted to Walmart grocery.

There’s a help guide like that in the “Tips” app... which most people bitched about and deleted as soon as Apple started including it.

Because most people wouldn’t know that new features existed at all, if they were all turned off by default. Its really not hard to turn any of this off... and none of this stuff is actually an impediment to using the phone. I’ve been using iOS 10 public beta for about a month, and I left everything on so I’d learn how…
