To be fair, that’s just one of his games. How’s your hypocrisy game?
I said 50/50. I’m a fat, almost 50 year old woman who practices polyamory, swears like a sailor, am an unashamed agnostic, has one kid that’s enby/ace and another that has ASD, said before the 2016 election that the man was a dumpster fire and don’t hide my values or hopes for the future. I will be vocal in my support for the LGBTQ+ community, vocal on the need to have fewer cops and more mental health professionals coming on scene with dangerous individuals, and try to stay s movement about letting people be who they are - normalize a lot of this stuff. I predict that the liberals would love me, the Trumpublicans will hate me and the moderates in both parties could go either way.
Not that I’d take the nomination. I suck at any kind of leadership.
You do not have to be a leader. Good leaders are masters of finding the right people who are skilled at finding the right people to delegate the actual work to. I am never the smartest person in the room, but I can recognize the smartest people in the room.
Reading / Posting: I read a lot more on my tablets, a cell-enabled android during the day, and my bedside kindle at night. During non-work but at home hours I’m mostly using my desktop (lower end but dedicated gaming) and checking in as I do any other sort of thing, and since posting my typical long winded responses is difficult for me on a touch screen, I almost always (90+%) post from my desktop.
President: Me? Hahahahahha! No. I would loose, and probably hard. I absolutely would, possibly politely, but in no uncertain terms tell the opposition what I think of them, and I’d tell my supporters that no, there isn’t any easy fixes, and we can’t get everything we want. I’d also hate being surrounded by PEOPLE, as I have strong hermit tendencies and I’d do a lousy job touring and trying to make people care.
I hate trump with the fury of a thousand burning stars, but he is good at motivating his base, and right there that is more than I would ever be able to manage.
I would also decline the nomination. I’d be a terrible president, I’d lose the election, and I’d despise the campaign. I see no upside at all.
If the Democratic Party had nominated me, I don’t think I could have beaten Trump.
Mainly because Trump is more liberal than I am.
I’d vote for me against Trump. Not against a hell of a lot of other people; but against Trump, sure.
And I’d be damn careful who I chose for vice, for cabinet, and for advice on absolutely everything. As well as for whoever I’d instantly copy on any call that came in at two in the morning.
I’m a fat woman who turned 69 in 2020. I’m partly faceblind and can’t remember names. The convention that nominated me is going to have to come up with all the money, because I sure haven’t got any, and I’m absolutely no good at making phone calls asking for it; and not much good at making phone calls at all. And if I’m woken up out of a sound sleep it takes me about two hours to be functional. I am absolutely not suited to run for any office much higher than town board; and I don’t know whether I could win that one (the planning board’s appointed.) But according to the hypothetical, as I took it, I’d be stuck: me or Trump.
So I’d be making a speech, with variations. And the heart of that speech, every time, would be ‘This is the United States of America. Our opponents say that we can’t afford to/ don’t have the technological capability to/ are too lazy to/ are too selfish to/ are too afraid to/ don’t care enough about our country to/ don’t care enough about our neighbors to/ don’t care enough about our children to/ don’t have enough foresight to [X-fill-in-policy-here]. Do you believe that? I don’t believe that. We are the United States of America and we! can! do! this!’
(Four years later, even if I somehow won, there’d be a whole lot of people pointing out whatever didn’t get done. But I’m sure that by then I’d have pissed off enough of the Democratic establishment that they’d be picking somebody else, anyway.)
That would be the only sensible choice. But I decided not to fight that particular hypothetical.
I decided not to fight the kittens-or-puppies one, either. But ‘both’ is the choice I’d have taken if it were there; though if I absolutely had to pick one I do have an overall preference, and voted that way.
Perhaps it means a lot of people are checking out the board from a workplace, where I would assume desktops are more common.
Even as a conservative, you’d be better than Trump. I feel that if Dick Cheney, for example, had run against Trump in 2020, most people would have voted for Cheney. Trump had plenty of flaws that went beyond his political affiliation.
The battery and wifi antenna on my laptop died, and the hinges cracked so it can’t be folded closed…so I ethernet-wired it, plugged it in, and put it permanently on my desk…instant desktop!
But yeah, I’d never buy one by choice.
99% of them.
My opinion about laptops, exactly.
What if you’ve never watched any MCU series?
Maybe. I’ve used a laptop at work for decades, but maybe my industry is an outlier.
I assume you just don’t answer that particular poll. But I did wonder if “None of the above” was left off deliberately.
I’ve watched a few individual episodes from the list, but no where close to enough to consider it a majority.
Then, like me, you can click “Show Results”, but, again like me, you will probably not find them particularly meaningful or interesting.
I’m not certain but I think the polls are limited to twenty choices. And there have been twenty MCU television series. So including a “None of the above” option would have required leaving out one of the shows.
The site has recently increased the limit to poll items. I’m not sure what it is now, but it’s well over 20.
Never made corn mush, the closest I’ve cooked is tomalito:
(although the version I make uses honey in place of sugar, this one is just an easy one I could find)
