Hillary couldn't shut Trump down without appearing elitist and smug (because she's both).

Harris isn't Hillary.

She's ahead in all listed polls in WI conducted after this one. And was tied in this one, which is the oldest of all polls listed.

You don't actually know this. See my comment here.

Depending on the state, yes actually.

I did time in a medium security facility that also did sex offender treatment (I was there on drug charges). I still have friends that went through that program.

The men who were actually invested in getting better, got better. The ones invested in staying well, are still well.

These debates aren't about policy anyway, they're about optics.

Trump will lose his shit and prove how old and weird he is. Harris will I'm speaking him when he interrupts. The libs will gush. The left will moan. Harris's campaign will have sound bites for advertising.

It's not Trump/Clinton. Trump running three times now gives the Harris campaign a lot of info on what to expect out of him. And Harris can shut Trump down without looking elitist.

This is more like her insisting you not eat cashews, because she hates cashews.

Only in this case her hate is homophobic/transphobic. Women can wear boy stuff. And men can, in theory, wear 'queer' stuff. As long as it's not her partner doing it.

Cannot or will not?

I hope it pans out for machine learning.

I kept a dream journal every night for over a year. Meditated extensively during that time. And rarely looked at a screen. Prison gives you a lot of free time.

I've also explored the closes eye visual space in drug induced lucid states extensively.

This time article aligns with my understanding of Busdhisms Six consciousness model.

https://time.com/5925206/why-do-we-dream/

In Western language, we would call the eye consciousness the visual cortex. When our eyes are closed, and we're in a relaxed state, we can see muscle memory practicing. Dreams. Visions if in an awake lucid state.

The visual cortex stays active when our eyes are closed. Otherwise it only takes an hour for other senses to start recruiting those neurons.

My dreams tend to be emotionally charged. So, dreams are, in my experience, a combination of the visual cortex doing busy work and unresolved emotional stuff if it's there, or fun joyful stuff, if I'm feeling joy.

I don't know that it has a 'purpose' other than busy work and keeping the cortex wired together. It can be put to purpose, such as dream journaling and deeper self awareness.

So, left equals centrist I see.

Yeah I'm not a fan of it lol. Thanks though.

How does it check for bias? Because pink news isn't left on trans issues. Yet it ranks as left with high credibility.
