Agreed. After looking into it, there's a clear and established process for drivers and it should be the same for bikers.

Okay. I was confused because I never mentioned anything about dreadlocks.

I'm not sure I get why you responded to my comment.

They're going to spend millions smearing his name, calling him a terrorist, and making up lies through PAC's. I don't know if it will work, but damn if they aren't gonna try.

 

In First past the poll, this makes sense. But I don't get the value of it in RCV.

Any case, as progressives, it's not surprising that the establishment Democrats will do everything to try and stop him from winning. I suspect they even try to railroad him if he wins. But I hope they can fight against this and connect to working class voters on the fundamentals. Its simple, sincere, and honest.

Edit: okay, the general election is FPTP. Both of the men self centered and arrogant, but I think they each have their price. I wouldn't be surprised if a month before the ballots are mailed, one drops out.

Am I missing something? From what I see, this guy does tech repair videos. Did he get hit by an ebike?

Here's the heart of the argument.

“Since e-bikes do not require a license, drivers of e-bikes can simply ignore their traffic summons with no repercussions whatsoever, making any enforcement futile,” the police spokesperson said. However, the new requirement that cyclists appear in court, or face an arrest warrant if they fail to, creates “a strong incentive to show up in court.”

The article does a good job of explaining why a court summons is any where from an unfair inconvenience to down right dangerous for some, but the initial concern should be addressed.

This is, apparently, Shanin Blake. This is a picture from 2017.

Her parents are not rich.

Arguably, there's a lot to criticize her about, but her leading a carefree lifestyle and finding success in publicizing it doesn't seem like one.

Well.. this is from 2017, so not AI.

And it's just a different ear. I found a less compressed version.

Edit: nevermind. Compression. When you zoom you see it. God... AI slop has broken me.

Does that ear look wrong to anyone else. Maybe it's the angle or the resolution, but there seems to be several features missing.

There is this recently settled lawsuit:

[The] lawsuit that alleged Apple was infringing on its users’ privacy by capturing conversations overheard by its Siri voice assistant without consent, passing the recordings to third-party quality control contractors. Apple offered a formal apology and pledged it would no longer retain user recordings, but pushed back against additional allegations that it allowed advertisers to target consumers based on Siri recording data. In January 2025, the company agreed to pay $95 million out to impacted users to settle the case.

So apple was doing this and apologized for it.

As an aside, if you have a voice activated assistant like Siri enabled, it is constantly listening for the voice activation command.

And why did you cite some pretty old studies?

They deserved it. They should have known to wait 13 years to date a 14 year old. The equation is 1/2 your age +1.

 

In 2024, Trump benefited from higher turnout among those who voted for him in 2020. He also held an edge over Harris among voters who did not vote four years earlier – a group that was considerably more diverse than those who voted in both elections.

As a result, if all Americans eligible to vote in 2024 had cast ballots, the overall margin in the popular vote likely would not have been much different.

 
 
 

Mrs. Featherbottom would have a lot to say about this team of meaty men.
