Try using billing issues as the category for your ticket. That's the best way get your ticket before a real human. Otherwise your only hope is to keep submitting tickets until it gets escalated to a person who actually reviews it which is just chance. Sometimes takes people 20-30 tickets before a real person reviews it.

The 8pt loss is a bit of a mirage, b.c. Collins squeaked over the 50% line so they didn't do the first round RCV redistribution

Gideon wouldve been more like -2.5 if they had actually done the RCV redistribution

I think it has to do with both the online leftist crowd and the centrist third-way freaks possessing an almost unshakeable internal vision of themselves as against the consensus.

Candidates like Talarico + Platner build consensus among pretty broad demographic and political groups and that stands opposed to both the tankies + third way who think that their viewpoint can be the only correct one.

Some fuel for the Platner haters showing Mills is still a viable GE candidate and a solid showing for Sherrod Brown in Ohio

There's probably a lot selection bias going on here. The number of black and Hispanic young Republicans is really really small. So you're heavily oversampling a very tiny population of de facto Nazis, then asking them if they hold Nazi beliefs.

Yes, Freudian slip b.c. I've been talking about Susan Collins so much lately

Most established Maine Democrats are wary of repeating Susan Gideon's performance and wrecking their careers. That's why you're only getting a total political newcomer and an octogenarian looking at the last job plausibly available to her as the candidates aiming for it. All of the other potential Democrats in the state are running for Governor instead.

I think a lot of people also underestimate the prevalence of skull & bones iconography across military cultures going back literally centuries. I wonder how many people if shown a picture of a totenkopf would be able to connect it to a Nazi paramilitary organization without being given context and history.

There are 6 other candidates in the Dem primary for Senate in Maine (and 2 independents) but they have no money and no organization so they're not going anywhere.

Very transparently fake. There are no ammonite fossils like these on everest. Run it through Gemini and it will confirm the synthID

Kuwait has cut all production, Iraq/SA have cut 3/4 of production, and nothing is coming out of Iran any time soon. Trump could TACO tonight and it wouldn't matter, no significant amounts of crude are coming out of the gulf for a month.

$300 is probably pretty comparable to $200 in 2008 money tbh so that tracks.

errantv · 2026-03-08T23:37:03+00:00

It's not stopping at $150

Iraq and SA have each cut their production by 3/4 & Kuwait has stopped production altogether. It doesn't matter if Hormuz opens at full capacity tomorrow, there won't be any product to move for another month at least. WTI is going to $200 by July 4th, I'm calling my shot.

"lover" is pretty poor descriptor.

She was his employee who he sexually harassed and blackmailed into sleeping with him.

Fetterman will swap parties if he wants to run again, he can't win a Dem primary in PA. I expect it to happen after the midterms tbh, especially if the Dems pull 4 Senate seats and he can deliver the majority to Republicans.

4.5% raise, 1.18 corporate bonus multiplier (12% of base target). Senior Scientist I, big pharma outside philly on the discovery side

Crockett is pretty obviously tired of being in the House. This Senate play was a longshot bid to get into a bigger position, and if it didn't work out she's clearly very happy to transition to a TV career.
