  • There is no crisis short of the dissolution of the United States of America that would cause states to cancel their elections. I will be working the polls in March and November, hope to see you all there. Better yet, sign up to work the polls as well.

    Nobody who claims "elections will be canceled" has ever worked an election, you can bet on that.

  • There is no mechanism to cancel elections. They're run by the states, and the states need to have them, even the red states. There are 9000 seats up for election at varying levels, midterms have already started, and for a party that's allegedly canceling midterms the GOP is sure doing a lot of campaigning for them.

  • Meditation is awesome and useful. But it doesn't need to be mystical and magical to be great, and I wish more people realized that.

  • We've never canceled elections, even in wartime. You're engaging in voter suppression by spreading this.

  • Stiff upper lip my chap.

  • There is more time between Stegosaurus and T. Rex than there is between T. Rex and humans!

  • It saddens me that some dinosaurs probably had gregarious colors and fleshy structures that we'll never know about.

  • It's got a mouth though 😏

  • I think I tried Platinum for a bit but yeah it was too cumbersome to play on my phone.

  • Sounds good, I'll continue to emulate Soul Silver and Emerald on my phone 😁

  • As someone who hasn't played a pokemon game since Gen 3, what are they like these days? Have they totally jumped the shark?

  • Also announced that Clint and Sandy will be marriage candidates in 1.7

  • Cooking and eating.

  • Ok, but are there any other sources corroborating this besides "Florida attorney claims"?

  • "Activists who say"

    What does the White House say?

  • Yes

  • Paywall so I can't read the author's main points, but it's all relative when you say "bad at baseball." Compared to the average person or even the average pro athlete? Yeah it's extremely impressive to play AA ball after not playing since high school, I think he was 14 years removed from the sport. Absolutely an athletic freak with crazy work ethic and natural talent. I'd argue that anyone who makes it to AA is far more than decent. And I think Space Jam kinda gives his baseball skills a bad rap.

    But in the context of professional baseball, he wasn't major league caliber. He slashed .202/.289/.266 in 497 plate appearances at 31 years old. If he had continued to play I bet he would have been promoted to the majors at least once for the spectacle, a la Bronny playing on the Lakers with his dad. But I doubt he ever would have been truly serviceable.

    Hitting against major league pitching is really, really hard. Like one of the hardest things in sports imo. Like so hard that the best players in the world have to spend years in the minors or foreign leagues to even sniff an MLB roster.

  • How common is it for students in non-English speaking countries to learn a second language that isn't English? I would imagine not very. Learning a second language isn't very useful if you're not going to use it, and learning it won't be easy if you aren't immersed in it.
