Typical straight white USian dude (sports, craft beers, outdoorsy stuff, history podcasts, etc.) who refuses to pretend I don't have it good. Philly fan. Militantly pro-democracy shitlib. Free trader. YIMBY AF. Trying to help save my country from itself.
It's a Trump +22 district. Even in a low turnout special election losing it is an epochal disaster for the GOP, because it means that even in a higher turnout midterm lots of districts that were Trump +11 or +12 are likely to flip and they're going to not just lose the majority but get wiped out.

I can't wait for the next Democratic president to take a wrecking ball to this eyesore, and I hope Trump is still alive and cognizant enough to know it's happening.

When you post on the internet, people will engage with your posts. Sometimes they may even disagree with them or say something that adds context.

I've lived in three different countries and visited 42 others, and I have friends and relatives who live all over the world, including every large European country, so I have a bit of experience with this.

Perhaps it has some use cases, though that particular one seems like it could be handled with inventory management software without blockchain.

I'm not saying living in Europe isn't better. That's a separate debate on which reasonable people disagree.
I'm saying you can't develop a sense of what it's like to live in a country by visiting it on vacation. The two are fundamentally different experiences with only very partial overlap.

Commercially available AI has some legitimate use cases. There are ways it's streamlined my workflow as an analyst, even if it is wildly overhyped.

If someone thinks vacationing in a place and living there are the same experience they're making a fundamental analytical error from the start.

*Inequality* increases because benefits disproportionately accrue to those who control means and systems, but in absolute terms everybody's standard of living grows. A working class wage laborer today is much richer than a medieval peasant was.
