I vaguely remember seeing a video that explained that how it’s usually explained is wrong. That’s what they’re probably referring to. But it wasn’t that we don’t actually know how it works, just that the common simplification is not technically correct (which happens often with these things).
Like a submarine?
Blue Illinois: ~17-18 electoral votes
Red Illinois: ~3-4 electoral votes
I always wondered about that. Why do states give all their electoral votes to one candidate? If a state has 20 votes and 51% of its population voted X, while 49% voted Y, wouldn’t it be fair to give 10 votes to X and 10 votes to Y, instead of 20 to X and nothing for Y?
You’re the second person who thinks I’m talking about the sample article in the image. I was talking about the mod description below the image.
But that text is not justified and the spaces are not evenly distributed. All spaces are equal except those few double spaces (which are also equal to each-other).
Edit: oh, you’re talking about the sample image. I was talking about the mod description below the image.
Am I the only one bothered by the random double spaces scattered through that text?
Edit: not the justified text in the image, the text below it.
I grew up in a country with over 90% Christian population in the 80s and 90s. The way the average person in my country would have answered if asked what religions are there would be: Catholic and Orthodox. Any other Christian denomination was clumped under either “sectarians” or “heretics” (and of course non-Christians were just “pagans”). Nobody in my country considered these American churches to count as actual Christians.
And even though I personally grew up as an atheist and spent every single religion class (yeah, that was a mandatory subject in our schools) debating the existence of God with my teachers, I still cringe and resent seeing these people called “Christians”.
Some people grew up eating that shit and it provides them with a sense of comfort and familiarity.
That’s exactly it. It’s confort food for a lot of Americans. I grew up in a different country, where home cooking was the norm and fast food was considered a huge waste of money. I of course tried it when I got my own money, but there was no reason for it to stick with me. So now fast food places don’t even register as an option for me if I ever find myself needing to eat from outside the house. But I’ve seen my friends in the US talk about fast food, their eyes gleaming talking about the Whatever Burger at Whatever Fast Food and the Whatever Taco at Another Fast Food and always get the Whatever Sauce at Yet Another Fast Food. The same way they talk about Twizzlers or Twinkies or other absolute junk that they would never touch if it didn’t bring them back to their childhood.
So you’re saying that some of the answers are flat out lies like in your example?
So that’s either true in practice, in which case there’s no problem putting the candidates’ views there, since they represent the party too; or it’s false in practice, in which case the candidates’ views should be there, because that’s who you’re voting for.
It’s a comparison between Harris and Trump, not between the parties.
I’ve been in Honolulu this past week and saw loud Trump supporter caravans going through the city twice, loud group of Trump supporters in front of the state capitol, and another one I don’t remember where. Not sure what they’re trying to achieve with all this.
Don’t those photos always have a small print disclaimer on them that says the actual product may not look like that or something along those lines? Is that enough to protect them in a lawsuit?
At least triple the price in my area. 4x if the schools are good.
My Eastern European country is not formerly Russian.
I’ve had my Samsung Bar for 5 years now and no issue with it, if that’s worth anything
I was talking about the beginning “h”, not the ƿ. Because there are people who pronounce it like that.
I have no problem reading text that uses these characters, but hƿich and hƿile really bother me.
leaving it to context for the reader to infer the meaning
So the same way we differentiate between the two sounds “th” can make?
Yeah, they’re more like dirigibles than airplanes. But same as airplanes, people have had a hard time believing that something made of metal can float.
