I don’t disagree but making the republicans spend money in Florida also prevents them from spending elsewhere.

If Trump says that “It’s too late” she should offer to make it earlier in the day. Sundowning is a legitimate concern for the elderly.

Like I said I get a real laugh out of this /c and I hope it keeps going especially if they win and we get 8 years of the truth about Tim. It some funny shit talking. But I do worry about Poe’s Law and don’t think we shouldn’t dog pile on someone who wants to make sure we’re all just playing. OP’s heart was probably in the right place and I’m trying to be curious and not judgement.

Ok so ::: spoiler Spoilers] Not ways to cook your steak? :::

I know you’re getting a lot of blow back, but I think you’re not wrong. yeah I really love this /c and think its a laugh but just remember when r/the_donald started out as satire and it was funny too but then it got taken over by nutters who didn’t see the satire, and I’d hate to see that here too.

Nate left 538 about a year ago. He now publishes his own SubStack for subscription and does a lot of consulting, notably including a hefty contract with Peter Theil the well know billionaire and right wing power broker who pushed JD Vance to be the Vice Presidential candidate for Trump

I agree with your take on the old 538 model, but if you read Nate’s new substack it become pretty clear that he’s been ‘captured’. Almost all of his post seem to fairly anti-Harris in their biases and it feels like all of his writings are really meant for one person, that person being the owner of Polymarket who he has a very large consulting contract. What these biases are doing to the Model I don’t know but the new model at 538 which was built from the ground up by other statisticians consistently trends about 10-20% higher odds for Harris taking the election.

I guess I’m the weird one today.

Ha! Jokes on Janeway, I’m in to that shit.

Honestly I love how much Kate Mulgrew grew in to the character. Janeway is such an interesting character and she turned in a really complex and interesting performance.

Plus Hologram Janeway is so much fun.

I’m feeling personally attacked here! I come down on the Boimler side here I think, and I’d hate to argue with Beckett but she’s wrong.

All Star Treks are awesome in their own way and there all my Favourite. I can’t and I won’t be made to pick a series.

Those Old Scientists era is where it all starts and nobody tackles those great social issues like they did.

The Animated Series is so forking batshirt crazy and fun. And they brought us my bois, the Kizinti!

The original cast movies brought Trek back from the repeats. Yes even numbers are better but five got me to ask “Why does god need a starship”

The Next Generation really kicked it in to high gear and expanded the universe.

DS9 - I wouldn’t recommend any long story format higher.

Voyager - if I didn’t love Voyager Janeway would kick my ass.

The TNG movies had some kick ass action and amazing space battles.

Enterprise really explored the beginnings and had a lot of fun filling in the niches and contradictions.

I could keep going on and on but it’s late and I’ll leave you with how I alway feel about Trek series. My favourite one is one that I’m watching right now

Quite honestly my favourite is the one that’s on right now, which ever one that is. It was Lower Decks just recently and I’m guessing soon it’ll Strange New World, but what’s in repeats always catches my eye too.

Bawk! Bawk bawk! Bawk!

It was less about the studio meddling and a bit more about the people who were involved weren’t in awe of George. His, at the time, wife was the editor on the first movie and she made a lot of changes in the editing bay to improve what was a bit of a mess they say. And don’t discount the amount of rewrites done on the fly by the cast. Carrie was taking everyone scripts and punching them a lot and she went on to become one of best punch up writers in Hollywood. Even Harrison Ford, a notoriously shy and conflict avoidant guy, was improvising his lines because he knew that Han wouldn’t say “I love you, too” even facing being frozen in Carbonite.

Thanks that’s the way. I’ll keep this on file

Yeah sorry I should learn how to do spoilers.

Hey this is really well said. Please accept my thanks for your quality work here

::: spoiler [Spoilers] Seriously man they were all types of shirts and that wasn’t the answer? :::

Not gonna lie this is some funny shit!

You know that the perfect doesn’t have to be the enemy of good right? Both of you are right.
