No. The electoral college was created because the founders didn't trust the uneducated general population to not elect a tyrant, so the EC was supposed to be made up of educated people who wouldn't be stupid enough to vote against the best interests of the people.

It also had a bit to do with how long it took to count votes at the time.

Are you sure you're not thinking about the 3/5 compromise?

The funny thing is the electoral college was created to protect us from this, but it's kinda the whole reason we're where we are.

Because keeping the line of communication open is good. You're one of dozens of applicants, so you want them to focus on you.

Nah, mastiffs are more bear than horse. Great Danes are horses.

I did that when I was working 2am-11am unloading freight at a retail chain. Never again.

That's actually newsworthy for Trump.

There have been instances of serial child predators claiming to be trans as a defense when caught exposing themselves to kids in women's locker rooms and such, but laws never stopped rapists, so it's irrelevant.

Fox News likes to frame it as liberals giving them permission to do so, though.

I'm still salty I had to retire my i7 920 after like 10 years because the mobo died and the only new lga1366 I could get was a crappy server one.

I'm sure that CPU would still be able to handle all of the work I threw at it like a champ.

Yeah, this is something LLMs should excel at

That's absolutely not true anymore. Many games support mods now, and Steam Workshop is a thing.

Lol, the mods buy into your bullshit, I guess.
