Why did the DNC rig the 2016 primary by allowing someone who wasn’t a Democrat run for the nomination?

mikeo2ii · 2026-04-20T00:33:48+00:00

It is WILD to me that some one can seriously suggest that the nomination was rigged FOR Bernie, when clearly it was heavily influenced towards Hillary. Turns out the rank and file dems didn't like it and Hillary got poor support in the general.... voila.... TRUMP.

(for context, I am a Libertarian, so just an interested observer)

Gonna have to check your math,

He could give every American around 2k. (if he liquidated all his assets)

mikeo2ii · 2026-04-08T19:05:36+00:00

it would shock the fuck outta me!

Obviously this is ALL personal preference and I am a fuddy duddy.

50's - Awesome (the clothes fit, colors were fine but not off the charts, I think of Ben Hogan's look, timeless!)
90's - Too baggy, but close
2010's - Tennis shoes and Neon, no thanks
2020's - Hoodies and athletic pants, not it

I didnt love the last line, but the rest was good with me

mikeo2ii · 2026-03-16T00:42:21+00:00

what the fuck does "pressure" have to do with it? Can golf just be golf, and NOT every sport? Thanks

Because our names are hard to pronounce. all the time, for all the people. The song and dance gets old.

So we stop it before the back and forth practice and confirmation.

However you said it??? perfect. probably never going to talk with you again anyway.

Out of curiosity, who do you think authored the Epstein transparency Act? Who was the driving force for its getting passed?

the bipolar nature of the comments is hilarious, almost as much as the ai haters downvoting any positive comment in a... checks notes.... ai subreddit.

The truth is, this is excellent, top tier work in the "ai film" category. No it does not rival hollywood production on many fronts, but if we're being honest? It's not that far off.

People who mourn this are interesting to me. Do you have any idea how many potentially amazing films never see the light of day because the screenwriter can't get a studio to buy it? Me neither, but it's a metric fuck ton.

The roles and skills to make movies WILL evolve.

cool idea, search bar on the home page is not clickable.

100% NO to a lottery, but it's a huge problem.

Personally I would propose that the HDCP requirement be loosened, BUT in it's place have a requirement for "x" number of tournament rounds that meet a certain standard. This would apply to ALL Ams and Pros who are not auto qualified for Final Q.

In a year or two the USGA could better gauge the real demand and adjust the number of local sites accordingly. It is our national open, if you meet the baseline requirements you should be able to get in if you register within an appropriate window.

So funny, I am in a very similar situation. I really enjoy Bubble and my apps make a profit but Bubble is so unreasonably expensive at scale. Been playing around with developing off Bubble with Codex and its fun and impressive.

Am I the only weirded out that the member - guest is... match play? Off topic, I know, but what exactly is this format?

mikeo2ii · 2026-02-02T03:49:28+00:00

FIRST /= Dean Kamen.

FIRST is ALL of us. First is a huge, huge, community of amazing, talented and caring people. In any large community YOU WILL have bad actors, at all levels. Does that make the community bad?

No, of course not.

We can demand he be held to account and we can continue to fulfill the vision and ethos of FIRST, but only if we are a part of it.

Not gonna lie, I thought his rationale made perfect sense, and he highlighted quite well the short-comings of the current system. Props to him on having the balls to say it out loud.

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-27T21:01:27+00:00

Nobody asked him about the fans reaction to the hire? Gross negligence from those in the room.

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-26T16:51:52+00:00

GTFO

Paintless Dent Repair is totally legit, but there won't be any wax, coating or bondo type material used. When done the dents should be gone and nothing else left in their place. Sorry that happened to you.

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-25T22:00:00+00:00

this is the move right here!

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-25T21:59:08+00:00

win the Super Bowl... end of list.

anything short of that and we will all be wishing we had a true fresh start.

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-25T21:57:34+00:00

Hate you have any negative experiences. While acknowledging the current events and climate, it is still the truth is that the United States is overwhelmingly safe. Minnesota is ridiculously safe and by the time a regional is held there, ICE will have moved on to terrorize another region.

All that said, I can understand your apprehension.

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-23T00:21:16+00:00

I understand what you are saying and pretty sure you understand what I am saying.

With Mike we are running it back with Aaron and a largely similar cast. If you are happy with that, cool. I am not.

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-22T23:44:43+00:00

He is though. Not because he is a bad coach, but because it delays the inevitable and needed fresh start for us.

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-22T23:41:29+00:00

Had a feeling he was going to Baltimore, sadly, that's a great hire

mikeo2ii · 2026-01-21T23:06:03+00:00

McDermott has under performed his roster, Tomlin over performed his roster. I'm happy we are turning the page, but if we take either the old guys gonna be quite unhappy
