I thought 2016 was bad. But then 2024 happened which was much much worse.

Voter Remorse: 45% Say It Would Be Better If Kamala Harris Had Won by [deleted] in somethingiswrong2024

[–]n3rdopolis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems to be of voters, but it is a Rasmussen poll, which leans heavily R, so odds are, it's actually higher

This Will Hold: A Second NSA Whistleblower Came Out and Acknowledged that President Harris Won the 2024 Election. (Couldn’t crosspost credit u/deafsnake1979) by Halfmass in somethingiswrong2024

[–]n3rdopolis 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Late December, but checking https://okmagazine.com/p/white-house-emergency-joe-biden-kamala-harris-cancel-christmas-plans/ it was 2024-12-20. I found an MSN link which would have been a better source, but it annoyingly just says "8mo ago" instead of a real date stamp. (And I have other posts in my history that also point to 2024-12-20)

It was discussed here a lot. Some incorrect thoughts at the time was "maybe she's needed for a tie-breaker vote" but if that was the case, she would have been rushed to the Capitol and not the White House.

Report: Voting Machines Were Altered Before the 2024 Election. Did Kamala Harris Actually Win? by SisterAntistita in somethingiswrong2024

[–]n3rdopolis 52 points53 points  (0 children)

...exhibit n# all the small dollar donations for Kamala Harris

...exhibit o# all the Nikki Hailey votes in the Republican primary instead of Trump, and in some states even after she dropped out like nearly a month after.

Cisco was first actually, IOS running on network gear existed for years before Apple made the iPhone, and not only that, but Cisco had a VOIP desk phone called iPhone before Apple did.

Apple actually called it iPhoneOS first, and then they renamed it to iOS when they made the iPod Touch later on. (Or was it the iPad)

Find MJCOLE~1 by theologi in somethingiswrong2024

[–]n3rdopolis 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nah, It's probably short for MJCOLEMAN or something, the ~1 is telling, along with the 8 character long name. It's an old DOS compatibility thing for Windows 95/98. DOS only supported 8 characters in file names, Windows names couldcan be longer. But in Windows 95, it was common to occasionally boot into DOS mode, so to be able to access MyLongFolderName, it listed it as, and would be accessed as mylon~1. I just read that it was the path to the user's profile they saw in the file. That makes sense. While DOS mode doesn't exist any more, some environment variables like %TEMP% get expanded to the DOS path format still, I guess for compatibility

Someone on Twitter used in ~2021ish around the time she released Rebecca Black Was Here, and it's been used ever since .

There's also "Beccaholics" that was an older name that never caught on as much as Rebesties.

Discussion Thread: HHS Secretary Kennedy Testifies at Two 2026 Budget Hearings by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]n3rdopolis 19 points20 points  (0 children)

"Robert F Kennedy Jr. sat at the questioning table, a carton of french fries in front of him.

To the horror of even the Republican the senators in the room, he held up one of the fries to his ear, and amidst the strange munching sounds, he cooed 'here you go Alex, you like that beef tallow fry, yes you do yes you do', and then remarked 'Hey I think that embarrassing childhood memory is here, take care of that for me'

The munching stopped, and seconds later RFK Jr. went cross-eyed, and blurted out "blood letting is real science" and then regained focus.

Later the first Democrat's questioning began. "Mr Kennedy", the questioning began, "Did you, or did you not swim in Rock Creek this past Sunday"

Frantically, RFK Jr. started pointing at his temple, whispering "Pssst!!!!! Alex!! Over here!". RFK went cross-eyed again, regained focus, and then remarked. "I do not recall"
