That’s so weird, It’s great info but so hard to parse!

No mouse on phone :( why not use the full spectrum of colors? There’s like a 1 shade difference between each one

Need an eyedropper tool to figure out which color represents each country

This dude better get a huge payout when this is over

I will be watching it like I watch classic cinema. The formula has since been refined but it was the first of its kind so it has some freshman fumbles.

I’ve been putting off watching the Sopranos for over a decade (for no particular reason - I DO want to see it) but that line weirdly might have sold me on it

This has gotta be the least trustworthy URL I’ve ever seen on a legitimate link

The voter has blue hair, the politician wears the suit

He’s what the right thinks of when they think of a democrat. Very corporate

It’s honestly one of the best things about the country. I’m a train ride away from practically every cuisine imaginable.

The most vibrant parts of any city are the “ethnic” parts. Every “PURE AMERICAN” neighborhood is just cookie cutter buildings and franchised stores/restaurants

The only point I made before we had to move on was “he made hundreds of millions on day 1 with his meme coin”

There’s like a hundred things he made money on immediately

Didn’t even think of that but yeah true. They aim for quality over quantity and it should stay that way

Everything without LISP routines sucks to me so I’m stuck on ACAD forever

I actually find it quite rewarding. Not to give myself too much credit but multiple people on the right have told me I’m very easy to talk politics because I’m not outwardly judgemental when I disagree. As for this specific reality check, both of us were on our way to meetings so we shelved it. We talk politics every once in awhile and I’ve been able to change his mind on a lot of things.

Here are some tips for talking with the “soft right” (or anyone you disagree with, really):

1. Understand their concern before you talk about the solution, you will probably find common ground to start from.

2. LISTEN TO THEM. Ask questions! It’s not a lecture, you’re having a conversation.

3. Be smart about how you disagree. “You are wrong because of X Y Z” makes you sound like an asshole, “I’m not so sure I agree with X Y Z” shows that you’re at least considering their opinion.

4. You don’t know everything so be honest. “I don’t know enough to speak on it confidently” or “I can’t remember where I heard this so take it with a grain of salt…” AND if you later find out you were wrong, follow up. “Hey yesterday I told you X, it’s actually Y [link]”

5. If they want to back out of the conversation, let them. Maybe you’ve given them enough to think about for the day.

At the very least, be the person that makes them think, “the left isn’t all bad”

Yes. I was a video editor for years and part of that was subtitling without automatic transcriptions. I could keep up with most speakers and if I’m remembering correctly, the typing speed tests I took for fun were 150wpm+

It’s definitely a skill I’ve taken for granted but it’s paying off big now that I work almost exclusively in AutoCAD (which makes you type commands, not just keyboard shortcuts)

Probably not the most unhinged but a few weeks ago a coworker told me that Trump is the only president in history whose net worth went down after becoming president.

He’s not FAR right so I usually hear him out and use kid gloves to counter his arguments but I involuntarily replied, “are you out of your fucking mind?!”

That doesn’t really have any impact on my point. They’re similar in a few ways but it’s like suggesting Wikipedia becomes an IMDB replacement, it would completely change the brand

Vimeo is a video hosting platform but it isn’t anywhere near YouTube replacement. It would be such a massive shift in their business model that trying to make it one would result a second dead site

There is no algorithm and search function, I don’t even think there’s a notification feature. Vimeo is mostly for artists to upload to and manually send the link

Keep.

Political questions are almost always either bait or pure laziness
