This week, I:
This week, I:
-- Ran a really fast 5k, and a much slower 5k.
-- Ate one of the largest and fanciest meals I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
-- Drank moderately
-- Voted
-- Stayed within goal! That is, when weighing in this morning, I'm under the target line.
Take that, entropy!
The stats so far:
Successes: 2
Tentative Successes: 1
Failures: 1

Trying this again.
Trying this again.
Are there any Trump supports out there? Do you know any?
If so, I have been trying to find an answer to this question:
-- Why do you support your candidate?
I've been looking for an answer in the positive which does not address Obama or Clinton. I haven't yet found one.
If you can answer, please do! If you know someone who could, please plus them in.
Moderation policy: This is NOT an argument thread. Any attempt to argue with a Trump support will be deleted. I may ask questions, which'll be similar to "Will you you explain more about that?". At the same time, any post such as "killary for prison" will be deleted and, at my discretion, the poster blocked. I explicitly reserve the right to delete this post or any comments without warning or explanation.
Feel free to reshare. Feel free to sub.

Pretty sure the race is tightening due to a fault in human memory.
Pretty sure the race is tightening due to a fault in human memory. Well, I say fault. Memory doesn't work how we think it does.
We don't actually remember what happened. We remember the story we tell ourselves. The things we think about most we remember least well to fact.
And here's the kicker: We erase how terrible previous events were.
That is, retrospectively events are not as horrible as they were at the time.
DT bombed each debate, giving a truly horrible presentation. He besmirched the office of President by saying he would jail his opponent. He stalked HRC like a sexual predator.
But, we don't really remember how terrible it was. Instead, we sort of average it out. It becomes just a meh event.
I think this is why the race is tightening.
