Lots of us thought he was too old four years ago, and haven’t changed our minds since then. The question isn’t about if most voters think he’s too old (they absolutely do), it’s about where all the headlines have been the past four years, rather than suddenly after a debate that the vast majority did not watch; "Though polling has consistently registered massive public concern with Biden’s age and his ability to withstand the rigors of a high-stakes campaign, let alone another term in office until he turns 86 years old, the loudest voices trying to force him out of the race are elites: major media columnists and wealthy donors” according to David Dayen, and I agree.

Because those demanding it are few and wealthy and the media is carrying their water?

Voting once every four years isn’t enough. Voting twice per year every other year (primaries/caucuses and general elections, midterms and Presidential) should be the bare minimum. In addition, if you have the time, get involved locally. Email your state and federal repa, let them know what you care about. Talk to your city councils and county boards.

What, no Hillary Clinton? Is he trying to lose again?

Ooo, wet race.

Jeansus fucking Christ…

Slowly deleting my Reddit post history…

Speaker list is a veritable who’s who of terrible people.

I’m not sure, because cars were more widely seen as a status symbol in the US (because they were marketed that way). I would bet that a much smaller percentage of people in the US see their phones as a status symbol. Other countries may be different. Remember all the premium phone brands like Vertu? Or the gold Apple Watch?

I’d vote for Katie Porter.

Not Tesla specifically, but anytime I look at the included navigation of a “legacy” manufacturer I am immediately reminded of the difference. Thank god my Chevy has CarPlay (that I didn’t have to pay extra for).

My first thought exactly.

Well, yeah…

They have tattoo chicken. This is turkey. Totally different. /s

On another note, I’ve been a couple of times and it’s great. I highly recommend it to anyone going to Vegas.

Holy shit it really happened.

It’s ok, bot, you did your best with what you had.

The 1999 movie with Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, and Michael Gambon? I just watched it again a couple nights ago! Love it. Love the atmosphere of the photo, matches what we’ve had here the past few days; foggy and chilly. Very appropriate for the time of year.

Hell yeah we slept in the deployment area. We were deploying to Afghanistan by air, and after showing up on base with the hand-carry gear that would go on the plane with us (other gear was a combination of cargo flight and stuff already there) we jumped on the passenger buses to take us to the nearby air base we would fly out of. It was still early when we got there, both early in the morning and early for the flight. You always build in plenty of extra time; “hurry up and wait” is the mantra. So we spent a few hours before the plane even showed up just waiting in the passenger terminal, which was just a big hangar with a snack bar on one end and unlimited coffee. Most of us slept for a bit. And before you ask where, the answer is always “on the floor”.

Without additional details on where those troops are (US or already on board ships in the Mediterranean?), it could mean a few things, but speaking from my own experience it would involve having all required equipment packed up and staged on a military base, personnel would have a bag packed and easily accessible, and any scheduled training exercises would likely be cancelled, especially if they were multi-day exercises. Normal daily routine would be the same. Any leave would be cancelled. 24 hours was how long we had to report to an assembly area for deployment, not necessarily actually leave the country, much less arrive at the destination.
