I've always done that. If it's not a contact, I let it go to voicemail. If it was actually important, they leave a message.

This article gives a good view from an average user's perspective.

The platform is decentralized and has community ran servers.

For most people that's a complication, not a bonus.

They said "the ones I have", as in multiple. So I was wondering if all of them connect to everything, or each connect to some. That's because I went on the 8bitdo website and I looked at several categories. The Xbox ones listed only various Xbox models under connectivity, the Bluetooth ones only listed Switch, the 2.4G and wired ones only listed Windows and Android.

The ones I have work on switch, Xbox, pc, android, iOS, etc.

Is there a single controller that I can use on switch, Xbox and pc?

In my country unlimited fiber was $6/mo. Imagine the shock when I moved to the US (also in Mountain View initially). Eventually I got AT&T fiber for "just" $40/month, but now I moved to an area outside their coverage and it's back to Comcast :(

So you're saying that some of the answers are flat out lies like in your example?

So that's either true in practice, in which case there's no problem putting the candidates' views there, since they represent the party too; or it's false in practice, in which case the candidates' views should be there, because that's who you're voting for.

It's a comparison between Harris and Trump, not between the parties.

I've been in Honolulu this past week and saw loud Trump supporter caravans going through the city twice, loud group of Trump supporters in front of the state capitol, and another one I don't remember where. Not sure what they're trying to achieve with all this.

I've had my Samsung Bar for 5 years now and no issue with it, if that's worth anything

Yes, there are people with well argumented reasons against loosening immigration laws or giving more rights to illegal immigrants. But it is a fact that there is a large number or immigrants who oppose them simply for the reason that others shouldn't get what they got without going through the same hard work. I've seen very angry groups of immigrants opposing drivers licenses for illegal immigrants for just that reason. It wasn't about best of the best or extraordinary ability.

Same for student loan forgiveness. There are a lot of people who oppose it just because "it isn't fair" that they had to pay theirs and others wouldn't.

I think that logic is flawed and petty.

I personally have not much stake in the matter. I'm a legal immigrant, doing one of those jobs that required proof that I'm highly qualified. And I got to be highly qualified for free because I didn't study in the US.

Immigration was hard for me, so it should be hard for others too.

Same sentiment as being against student loan forgiveness because you already paid yours off.
