Harris did indeed have overwhelming support and the polls even showed her ahead for a decent while. Sometime after the debate, she started courting the Cheney faction and simultaneously diluted her messaging. Coincidentally, this is also soon after she brought some Clinton strategists in. She lost the enthusiasm she had built up in the summer.

I dont exactly excuse people who stayed home (or protest voted), but I do understand that Harris didn’t do herself any favors with that type voter either. I felt the enthusiasm wane, and I’ve never missed a federal or state election.

Yes, but this issue is not one we should want Google solving. We need better media literacy education throughout life.

Twilight works pretty well

He was in the first Saw, too I think. He’s got some range, but he is best as the dashing ne’er-do-well. Loved his recurring character on Psych

When I was trying out passkeys, things allowed either passkey or password still. But yes, I think this need partially reduces the security benefit of passkeys.

Just answered in a different comment.

Just answered in a reply to a different comment.

It’s a combination of issues. First is compatibility issues. Like logging in on mobile web or app with a passkey doesn’t reliably work for me. It might have been due to the password manager, but for some things the option wasn’t even there afaict. If I’m going to really switch to passkeys, I want it to work more reliably.

The second is usability. Passwords in a password manager are a 2 click entry on the username or password form field. Password managers have streamlined this system over the past decade.

Passkeys, ironically, required more steps when pulling from the password manager, including required clicks in less convenient places. I hope these types of issues get ironed out eventually.

I use a password manager with passkey support and still disabled all my passkeys. The user experience for passkeys is so much worse even when support exists.

Your comment strikes me as particularly harmful and misguided because autistic people are often specifically targeted for abuse and even seen as deserving of abuse.

I am sort of grateful, because you’ve unintentionally really made it starkly clear to me. We should not platform unrepentant enablers of abuse regardless of their prior contributions, it simply causes too much harm.

Honest suggestion: take a civics class to brush up on stuff like this. Theory is great but if you don’t understand the system of government under which you live, you have no hope of changing it.

Baggu makes really good nylon bags that fold very small. Only downside is the lack of structure, but you get used to packing them in a couple shopping trips. Ours have lasted over 10 years.

The effect (purpose?) of moral panics is to maintain the status quo, scapegoating age old problems as new because there’s a new aspect.

Anyone focusing on social media or phones as the main problem kids and teens are facing today is part of the problem, whether or not it’s intentional.

I definitely get where you’re coming from. But this is a way forward when big changes are otherwise impossible. Civilian review boards are a concrete suggestion that can be modeled on similar programs elsewhere in law enforcement. They are a relatively minor change and require little infrastructure beyond a conference room, and can have an outsized impact.

I see, thanks.

I’m not really an expert on this, but a major piece is the idea that fears (and our thoughts about them) aren’t based in reality. Often times for ND people, they are indeed based in reality. Changing how we think about these things doesn’t help, and can often harm.

It’s obviously very personal, YMMV, but there are good alternatives in many cases.

I was referring to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the CBT that could be harmful to some neurodivergent people.

CBT can be harmful in many cases, including to many neurodivergent people. Just often worth being cautious and looking into alternatives.

They’ve begun to enshittify their reviews. Used to be almost no meme reviews, now they’re everywhere because people can get awards for them. And they of course the ability give awards require you spend money on Steam.

I used to trust “overwhelmingly positive” on games I was considering. Now I don’t. I still read some steam reviews but also reviews across the web, too.

Steam is getting close to me not treating it as the only place to buy games.
