I too enjoy a good strawman fallacy.

Personally, I like the iPhone charging port better as there's less that can go wrong with it, but USB-C is pretty good too.

I like that I don't have to orient the cable plug-ins just right. I can flip it over and still plug it in just fine. That's why I don't like mini USB, micro USB, or USB-A

Portsmouth, Virginia here. The early in-person voting line was around the block and took over 2 hours to get through.

Granted it's not as long as others, but it is a good sign when early voting lines are so long.

If you want a good job, become a social media influencer. It pays more than most other jobs, and you can be the worst type of person and still make it big.

Because I saw the news about voter dropbox being fire bombed and the head of USPS deliberately slowing down mail. I don't trust that my mail-in vote will count, so I voted early in-person.

Fascists don't have to worry about being on the right side of history because they intend to rewrite and distort history.

I have a rechargeable mouse from a no-name Chinese company, and they put the port at the nose of the mouse. It works like a wired mouse when plugged in and charging.

How has Apple not figured this out?

You can't go back. This isn't just a political difference of opinion, this is a full blown violent cult. We need greater funding for mental health and deprogramming services.

Shipwright welder. I crawl all throughout the bowels of Navy and civilian ships with my gear in tow. I build new areas, cut out old areas, and perform repairs on hulls and pipes.

If it's local city elections, it's difficult as the line between parties gets fuzzy. Some candidates have little to no info on their policies and such.

If I can't find anything about them at all, I won't vote for them. If they're hyper religious or make it their main focus of their campaign, I won't vote for them. Other than that, it's just a coin toss.

Larger elections like stare and national are a bit easier. If they have the letter R next to their name, it's safe to assume they're insane, evil, or both. It's become the norm these days. That makes it a choice between independants and democrats. I guess it comes down to which has better policies on issues I care about.

This, 100%.

I'm not about to tarnish my professional reputation just to spite a clueless customer.

Freelance welding on my days off. A customer wanted to hire me to make a fence gate, but he didn't have solid blueprints. He had a crude sketch drawn on a scrap of paper, but no specific measurements. I offered to come by and take measurements, but he didn't even have a fence base to take measurements off of.

Essentially, he wanted me to construct a property fence gate of unspecified size and install it to a nonexistent perimeter fence. I told him these issues, but he didn't care. He wanted me to build this fence gate, but he didn't know what size, what materials, and where to install it.

I fired him. A welder's reputation means everything. I'm not about to make a thing for a customer who doesn't actually know what he wants. I did him a favor by walking away and not taking his money.
