To me, the Cybertruck feels like it was made by a deeply insecure teenager, crying out for help with how needlessly edgy it is, while the new postal service trucks feel like they hired a children’s illustrator to make them cute.

The 3% is a reason to be skeptical, but doesn’t necessarily refute the 99% claim. A person can be a Native American, part of their community, and have a grandparent who was an immigrant. 2/3 of them at minimum would need to have a similar situation at minimum, but it’s less than the percent who live outside reservations (78%) so it doesn’t seem totally far-fetched. It seems high though to be sure

Harris winning Texas is a very unlikely event, as much as I’d like to see it. I’d be happy if exit polling is ~Trump +1, and they can’t call the state before midnight. A narrow Trump victory would still change the national conversation around Texas significantly

That’s true, bigots will always offer a road deeper into their beliefs, and you can’t stop them. But I think here the road out is a bit more visible than usual. It feels like a seed of doubt could be planted in some heads, which is something.

All because the school was afraid of some trans girl, who statistically speaking, probably wasn’t even one of their best players. The school’s transphobia did presumably hurt the trans student they targeted, but I’m guessing they hurt a lot more cis female athletes, on their own team especially. I hope any of those students who may have been transphobic see how it hurt them more than the trans student, and it gets them thinking…

Dedicated hardware still has benefits, having your phone notifications separate from gaming, if your phone breaks having your console break would suck, and imo a touchscreen will never surpass physical buttons on controllers so you’d still want those.

I personally hope the future looks more like a steam deck than a gaming phone.

You mean Donald Trump, who once said on tape that he was famous enough to get away with grabbing women by their genitalia? Seems like a pretty bad guy to trust, unless the thing you’re trusting him to do is sexual assault
