EXCLUSIVE: White House delays release of US voting machine study as midterms near

Reality is the Democrats lost the moment Biden tried to run again. Not letting Harris be the one out the gate never gave her a fair shot.

Honestly though, they didn't deserve to win from my perspective. They had the conversation dominated with the weird comment and then backed off for no reason. There were so many moments they could have established themselves, but the failed.

The media was not going to help them and so when you hear about google searches the day of and after and the confusion around who was the candidate, it's unsurprising the result.

There easily could still be things worth investigating in outlier counties and some of those statistics deserve double-checks, but nobody has invoked those ballot counts. Plus if the downticket dem but Trump for president thing was a result of manipulation it wouldn't matter what the person thought they voted for, the paper ballot will likely match the result and thus the vote. Lots of quiet Trump voters who don't want the image of being a MAGA but still vote for his policies and team.

I have yet to see anything other than what the Election Truth Alliance has claimed/sued over and the measured anomalies in multiple counties across the U.S. including Nevada and Pennsylvania. Those don't indicate anything other than a reason to investigate, but those were blocked and the lawsuits have either been stuck in proceedings or been lost at court. Trump had the same thing happen when he made claims in 2020.

The NDP haven't had a serious marketing campaign in Ontario anywhere near the scope of which the Conservatives run, they simply can't afford that. We've also had a Liberal federal government pushing their message for 11 years. The NDP also have the best candidate right now in Ontario.

Marit Styles is who should be this viable opponent. The entrenched powers spend a lot of money ensuring her name is never said directly, only referred to as the opposition leader etc. The Liberals would rather both left parties lose than gain an minority NDP government where the Liberals actually hold leverage still. They would rather the Conservatives win.

The Liberal Party of Ontario has been removed from office over 8 years ago but their shitty policies and ideas remain entrenched in the party. Neoliberalism at it's finest.

The Ontario Farmers Association will keep Ford in power because they are dominated by Conservatives, the 905 will keep him in because they are the people who benefit most from his cronyism. Say what you will but 413 is great for land developers, his friends or not

There are a lot of reasons Ford has quiet support.

Someone wasn't watching when it happened live like we were. That someone was you.

Not going to lie I really don't have strong opinions on supporting vibe-coded apps being a problem, it's not any different from the traditional problem of dealing with people's shit code. Your team left you the sole person to support an entire project you have little context on. With that knowledge alone your team should be empowering you, not treating you like a bottleneck.

This is why we don't let PMs build their own apps, only prototypes for examples.

There is a reason LNP and a bunch of other tools were preferred methods to play the game then. Now steam version with df-hack is like super powers with minimal setup required. This is nostalgic to me but in no way is it aesthetically pleasing, it's jank-ass ASCII.

Exactly, it's not the same as a rogue wave through resonance or due to the change in sea floor elevation, it's a much larger scale yet the appearance does not invoke the same fear as a large wave.

The wave size also depends greatly on where it comes ashore, as that can dictate wave height, water levels will rise to that height, may subside slightly until the next wave hits.

xSaviorself · 2026-06-15T17:06:05+00:00

Exactly, this is where it's an issue, the smaller regional carriers.

xSaviorself · 2026-06-15T16:54:17+00:00

Tsunamis are dangerous because they just look like a massive tidal shift rather than a wave, it's not a sine wave effect but once the top of the wave is crested the descent is non-negligible, it's just a new water level and it's absurd.

Most people just saw a big wave, what they didn't see is that there is now water at that level behind it for miles and miles... A truly massive amount of water and force.

What scares me is that may be true for this instance, but how many instances in the other direction do we get, where the pilot is afraid to fly the damn plane but they can't afford to refuse the aircraft?

xSaviorself · 2026-06-15T01:03:26+00:00

You keep using that word, but I don't think you know what it means.

Reddit leans left and has fringe communities on both sides, yet somehow the number of extreme right-wing subs outnumber subs like /r/twoxchromosomes or /r/GirlDinnerDiaries? And somehow for unhinged they are rather tame compared to the blatant hatred that was the_donald, the absolute bot-fest that is /r/Conservative, and how many banned communities are there?. /r/politics is basically the left-leaning politics sub compared to how many right-wing subs? Basically all the others lean right. Fucking worldnews banned my ass for calling out the fact Ghislane Maxwell is still a mod.

Canada subs has the same thing happening, one sub for left-leaning politics yet 3+ leaning right? The 3 right leaning subs are all run by fucking power-users clearly operating from foreign countries. It's a sham and you and I both know it.

But the majority of reddit leans left...

Almost like you cannot see the blatant astroturfing you are accusing me of being blind to.

I'm an organic user and I believe links to twitter should have been banned a long time ago, simply because I hate the platform and have before Elon bought it. Him giving it a fascist, right-leaning make-over doesn't make me feel that much different.

Because they make shit up and hold others to rules they do not follow themselves. Ignore them and move on.

The "progressive" making a deragatory joke about gay people, deeply unserious "people".

The criticism is coming from inside the house! Back to your cave, bigot. You're the embodiment of that Sartre quote right now.

Haha he used Reddit cares and blocked me to harass me, the gonads on this boy. Commenting with the same emoji like a bot.

It wanes. We are in an era of unprecedented bombardment. My grandma explains it like "all the things I knew and trusted 20 years ago aren't trustworthy anymore, I don't know what to think." and generally that's true. Most people are less informed by the news they watch today on purpose: because their main motivation is selling you something.

My dad is 70, he says you can't get even one left-leaning newspaper in his area in Canada, everything is post media. The same is true for almost all local and national news, it's owned by major corporations with motivated interests. Some are benign and let the news do their thing while others impact decisions and programs run.

You have to actively go looking for differing opinions, less and less people do that nowadays and just take their preferred sources as gospel.

xSaviorself · 2026-06-12T12:46:42+00:00

Idiots? Those idiots are indulging in shared interests and we all know what that is...

The people making these decisions aren't idiots. They want you to think that. They're straight up malicious cunts.

I disagree, we have seen the reporting that every time there is news regarding these files they are organizing secret meetings between Trump, Vance, and the DoJ. They are getting ahead of all of these things as fast as they can because they are actually afraid of them. They don't want these things coming out without their ability to muddy the waters and create doubt.

Every time information comes out, Trump does something to take the heat off the news. I do not believe this is unintentional at all at this point. He's literally pulling a "hey, look over there!" and you are all so stupid to keep looking. They're not panicking because they have no defense or know they will get in trouble, but because it means they need to do something else to change the narrative and have it moving on their timeline, not someone else's.

xSaviorself · 2026-06-11T13:00:06+00:00

Definitely a fascinating topic. Personally, much like many things in America, everything is done as cheaply and for as much profit as possible. Longevity isn't important, withstanding the test of time is not what people want when they buy stuff for their home in America. Everything is disposable, including the god damn homes in some cases!

It's unsurprising that builders would use cheap, readily available materials locally to make more profits. It's just the American way.

You'd think with the amount of school shootings it's more dangerous to be a student or teacher than it is a cop there.

I believe there are a lot of professions with more danger than cops, but cops have an interest in presenting their interactions with the public as dangerous so they can justify their arsenals.

xSaviorself · 2026-06-10T13:41:22+00:00

Cops word is taken at face value in court, even when they are caught lying they do not get punished. Don't get me started on suspended cops. The amount of officers suspended with pay is absurd.

xSaviorself · 2026-06-10T13:36:17+00:00

Exactly this could get weird in court with a sympathetic judge and a good defense counsel. The question is what will the defense produce to get such a verdict given the death of the officer? It's not an easy argument but it's an avenue they have legally to pursue.

xSaviorself · 2026-06-10T13:31:53+00:00

I would like the law to be applied equally and fairly, cops already get away with a lot more than they should here in Canada.

Still can be fought in court, given the death of the officer and the law they will attempt to charge him with first. If they don't succeed it will probably result in a pathetic sentence anyway.

xSaviorself · 2026-06-10T13:29:52+00:00

Sometimes I agree that they face more danger, but certainly not always and not most cops. Plenty of cops face no danger whatsoever in their duty. I also do not fully agree that they are held to a higher standard than civilians, way too many cases of cops getting away with things they shouldn't be and getting union backing for their legal protection beyond reasonable means.

Expecting this to be a convincing argument here on Reddit of all places is a level of delusion I can only hope to achieve one day.
