It isn't weird for videotaped presentations among a certain crowd. Such as some people who work for some major tech companies that employ me.

Sure. But as a matter of principle, if someone ruins my expensive stuff, should they make me whole or instead give me the minimum viable product as recompense?
I would really prefer to be made whole and am unsympathetic to arguments about me having expensive things being a negative externality on everyone else.

campaign finance laws
Didn't federal prosecutors consider Trump's actions and determined he didn't violate Federal campaign finance laws? Or at least didn't bother charging him.

He lied about something to such a serious degree
Marking paying his lawyer to execute a NDA as legal expenses? That lie? This seems to me to be "three felonies a day"ing Trump. Making a mockery of what should be serious and impactful crimes.
fuck you

sex and skin color have been the driving factors in her entire political career
Yes. And also at the beginning of her career: her sexual availability for Willie Brown. What a great patron to start her off.

How far does this logic extend? Does you accidentally burning down my """needlessly""" expensive home count as me owning expensive things as an externality foisted onto you? The existence of any other not-minimum-viable-product that I own?

They don't stage releases sending them out to limited groups one at a time? They do one global update and hope for the best?
There's such obvious ways to limit the impact of this sort of screwup.

Allegedly will not endorse Harris.
Uh oh. The Democrats may actually win the election.
Let's see how "allegedly" this turns out to be.

Your gut feeling isn't wrong, but it isn't quantitative. I appreciate actually checking the proportions on this obviously true thing.

I think Trump has always been a big outlier on gay issues. At least compared to mainstream Republicans.
He sold rainbow merchandise. He waived a rainbow flag. When asked about trans people using restrooms in Trump tower, he says he doesn't care where they go.
Trump is an irreligious life long New York Democrat with pre-NAFTA Democrat values.

At least the admins didn't ban me in retaliation.

That's a nice auto-nope response. I won't bother any more. The classic "the US Marines call in a US Air Force strike on the Taliban. Why doesn't the Taliban ask the US Air Force to bomb the Marines in retaliation?"
Weapons are lobbed in one direction.

Yes, long term isolation is so destructive in so many ways. Especially on little kids. Long lockdowns come at a very heavy price.
My confusion is they didn't also clearly reduce death by respiratory virus. I would have thought that they weren't worth the price, but indeed reduce covid deaths. But they didn't even do that.
After all this, Nancy Pelosi's plan to wander around Chinatown hugging random Chinese people is about as effective as a hard lockdown. Which literally happened in real life.

For general health and wellbeing yes. But for specifically a respiratory virus that's deadly to old people, no.

It's a bit strange how well Sweden and Florida did so well without lockdowns. Especially given Florida's disproportionately old population. I would have naively thought lockdowns would have some measurable impact on infection rates.

Fauci has asserted repeatedly that Ecohealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology weren't doing gain of function research. For what it's worth I think he is shamelessly lying. But it is a somewhat popular opinion to think that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had nothing to do with this.
I've seen a bit of this. Some cable news commentator saying it was so irresponsible for him to not destroy that photo. Doesn't he know this helps Trump?
Time removed the photo from their cover. But that's so little so late.

On the east coast colonial period, yes. Horrible drawn out tortures. Being seared to death with hot coals. Skinned alive one small strip at time. Fingers broken and twisted the wrong way. Completely senseless. And not even always during warfare. They'd take hostages and get to work on one as an example to the others.

Nobody wanted to see Trump get assassinated.
Except for the people expressing regret that the shooter missed.
I reject pretending that the US and Canada are equivalent. Especially when it comes to portion of the population that are first generation immigrants. And their meager crumb of gun ownership privileges.
