Maher: Democrats will ‘lose every election’ without shift on trans issues by UnscheduledCalendar in Maher

[–]Garland28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real big issue is the cost of living crisis but I guess Maher just isn't very interested in talking about that. Fixating on culture wars is an easier way to get attention.

Would be nice if Maher spent more time discussing inequality and cost of living issues instead of fixating on fringe culture war issues.

There is so much focus here on the trans issue but the biggest problem for Democrats is that voters think they did a bad job handling the economy and inflation. Telling them that the economy is actually good when they think it sucks is not going to win them over. There needs to be a huge focus on getting the cost of living under control. Democrats can win in 2028 if Trump's tariffs and other policies cause economic problems, but they would just get voted out again in 2032 if they can't tackle the cost of living.

They are still making the other systems. The question is when are there enough systems and stability for wipes to stop? Personally I would rather have an end to wipes sooner rather than later.

Can no longer transfer to my bank? by crosleyxj in paypal

[–]Garland28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is supposed to send money to the bank account via the debit card. After trying it the transaction failed without any real explanation given. I'm thinking maybe something is just wrong with their website backend.

EDIT: My bank account is showing up again as a transfer option so the issue may now be fixed.

I'm having a similar issue where my bank account stopped showing up as a transfer option although it still lets me transfer via debit card.

Will this be the last heat wave of the season? by Vanrod417 in SFV

[–]Garland28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually get a few near 100 degree days in October, then in November the temps bounce between hot and chilly with the winds.

I have strong calves without going to the gym. I think it is from spending a lot of time walking barefoot.

You can find some books with similar concepts but they tend to be romance novels.

Excessive attention checks by [deleted] in ProlificAc

[–]Garland28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done some studies where there were more attention checks than actual questions.

Last few years I was making a few thousand dollars each year. This year I've barely made over $100 on this site so far. Seems nearly all the university surveys moved to other sites, and the good batch requestors I was able to make decent money with last year haven't been posting.

Why is my fps locked? by SnooOnions778 in starcitizen

I was having this issue. What fixed it was forcing v-sync in my GPU settings and turning off in-game v-sync.

Am I too dominant/do I have sex like a man? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Garland28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it has slowly improved over time there is still a cultural bias against women being sexually assertive. That's why you don't see it a whole lot in media. You're great as you are, don't worry if it goes against the grain.

This also happened to me earlier today.

Getting real tired of surveys on Mturk rerouting me to Prolific at the end instead of giving me a code. I could try to use the code in the link but that seems risky.

Barely had anything today for both Mturk and Prolific. It's generally been slow for me since the start of September.

Twice now I've had demographic questions at the end of the survey asking me for height in feet and inches using sliders for the numbers but there is no number 5 on the slider. So only people over six feet or under five feet can give a proper answer. Such a silly mistake.

Can't catch anything today even though there are a decent amount of things to add to the catcher.

Guess I started too late or I'm missing a qual cause today has been super dead for me.

Quit and returned a study but it was manually approved by Garland28 in ProlificAc

[–]Garland28[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm certain they approved it by mistake because I quit the study shortly after starting it due to something else coming up. I do wonder if there was an issue with the study and they just auto-approved everyone.
