I wish I could disagree....

Not gonna lie, as long as WE don't have to keep fighting him, I'm okay with that second scenario.

And, to be fair, if Biden handed things over to Harris now (i.e., before the election), I'd actually trust his facilities even less than I do at present. To be sure, I think Harris would be a fine president (and indisputably better than Trump), but I think her chances of winning an election are...

I'm not in favor of the doom and gloom narrative I've already blocked another poster for using, but this incessant "trump is going to lose in november" narrative is no better anchored to reality. We can do better.

Mostly, he still deserves condemnation for his insistence on "both sidesing" that rally.

Even so, his species' lifespan has never been established in current canon (it was in the now-defunct EU).

Agreed (totally separate from the Electoral College itself, of course). I've been making that argument for years, myself.

For what it's worth, there's a significant (geographical) chunk of California that would LOVE to ditch the way CA counts Electoral votes. It's actually deep red in the north (especially north of Sacramento... stated for clarity since Sacramento and San Francisco are considered by many to be...

You seem to be missing my point. In EVERY local election where I am, the Democratic victory is all-but assured, and has been for decades at this point. At best, this is good advice for people who live elsewhere. There are a LOT of polls that disagree with you.

Seriously. We've often talked about how Wyoming get disproportionate representation vs. California, but that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how broken the system is. See that picture? That's just LA County (where I live) in red. Every state in blue has a smaller population than...

Here's my big problem with THAT.... I live in California. Yes, I'm going to vote. There's no question whatsoever about that. But it's not going to make a lick of difference vis-a-vis Trump. All those other down-ballot votes? Yes, I'll do that. But if Trump wins, that doesn't matter nearly as...

If it weren't for the electoral college, I would more or less agree with this argument. But taking the electoral college into account, Trump still has an edge. We're kidding ourselves if we say otherwise. Is he definitely going to win? By no means! There are enough sane people in the...

I deny that such a thing exists. Thinking critically requires conciousness. It cannot be done by reflex. Even in your example, one must be taught to supress the reflex to panic. It is not a reflex not to panic.

Critical thinking and reflex are mutually exclusive.

This is Trump, even if the NDA was illegal or illegitmate, there would have been a lawsuit that he'd have pushed for as long as it took to drain the guy dry.

Pft. The Minibots are some of the most beloved toys of the 1984 line, and probably offer fewer obstacles to getting the end result they're going after than, say, the Seekers or Megatron. They're a perfectly good choice.

It's not an immoveable roadblock (I already said that in my own post). But I was taking pains to separate out the extra work they're taking on because it's an anniversary project from the "costs" of R&D, although I'll certainly concede that the two concepts are related.

I think this line may not last very long because it's a 40th anniversary thing. I mean, if it were successful enough, I've no doubt they would continue it, but besides the "costs" of R&D, this seems like a lot of extra WORK that they probably never had any intention of sustaining for long, so...

Arguing that three potentially random numbers and/or letters (3, P, 0, in this case) constitutes a name that a person, in a society that depersonalizes the most likely owners of such names, should remember after more than a decade... seems a stretch.

Ugh! So much agreement re: Siege....
