If Elon Musk had suddenly died days before he accused that diver who saved those children from that cave of being a pedophile, he would’ve been remembered as the real life Tony Stark that never got the chance to bring us to a new golden age. But now he’s viewed as a shitty James Bond villain.
Ah, that makes more sense. I misread. With all of the horror stories I hear about American health care, it seemed farfetched, but not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
Emergency Room Visit Denials
Wait, do American hospitals charge people for visiting patients in the ER? Or is this about reimbursements for transport and parking?
Do you have any examples?
What would accurate odds in the previous two presidential elections look like to you?
Here is a direct quote from 538:
538’s forecast is based on a combination of polls and campaign “fundamentals,” such as economic conditions, state partisanship and incumbency. It’s not meant to “call” a winner, but rather to give you a sense of how likely each candidate is to win. Check out our methodology to learn exactly how we calculate these probabilities.
In 2016 they gave Hillary Clinton a 71.4 % chance of winning, and in 2020 they gave Joe Biden 89 % chance of winning. They are dealing in odds, not calls.

It’s also the third millennium of the era. 1-1000 AD was the first, 1001-2000 AD was the second, and we are now in the third.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Mass Effect yet. Or Dragon Age, even with a picture of a cosplay of Morrigan in the OP.
Everyone descends from Africans. That’s where the human species originated.
If he doesn’t end up as VP, he would be a good candidate for Mitch McConnell’s senate seat when he retires in 2026.
Where did you find an overview of the racial makeup of the top 100 companies’ employees?
Oh it is a democracy, but not “direct democracy”. We don’t choose what happens, we just choose who decides what happens.
Still not a democracy, you just described a Republic, which is what we’ve always officially been even if die hard patriots prefer to say democracy
What are you talking about? The people electing representatives that makes the final decisions is called “representative democracy”. A republic is a form of representative democracy. A constitutional monarchy, like you find a lot of in Europe, is another form of representative democracy that fit the original description, without being republics.
What did the founding fathers decide that made it impossible to have short election seasons in the US?
I have never written a PhD thesis, so I might not be the best representative, but it’s the first time I’ve heard the phrase.
What is a doctor father?
I see it as blue
