  • The “will of the people” was Joe Biden, who won the Democratic primary quite handily. However, the Joe Biden people thought they were voting for wasn’t the Joe Biden we actually had, as there was a very deliberate effort to hide his declining health by the party leadership. Hence the whole reason they had to change candidates, once it became too obvious that Biden wasn’t fit to serve another term as president.

    So while the Democratic party still followed their processes and guidelines by ultimately putting forth Kamala Harris as their candidate, it’s not like they had to do it because Biden withdrew due to some freak accident or something like that. You can’t really sanction what they did when the whole thing is rooted in the party leadership deliberately deceiving people.





  • Other than hoarding up the houses, everything is pretty general Monopoly strategy I figured out a long time ago. Basically try to get a monopoly ASAP and then develop it ASAP. I’ve found that strategy to be good, but it depends a lot on luck. Sometimes despite everything you try, the only monopoly you can get are those horrid green properties and you’re pretty much doomed.


  • I don’t really see it as a conspiracy. What seems to happen is Apple does something like remove the headphone jack. Apple users essentially have to accept it as they are locked in and don’t have any choice in the matter. Plus you have the fanboys that have an amazing ability to rationalize anything Apple does. Everyone else sees that Apple got away with something, and they follow suit.

    Losing the SD slot would still be annoying but not as big of a deal with everyone wasn’t also copying Apple’s model of massively overcharging for storage upgrades.
