I’ve heard you can pre-order the ultimate mega edition of AAA Game 2 for only £300! It comes with a season pass (but they’ll never finish the roadmap), and extra DLC that isn’t in the season pass too! You’ll still need to buy the extra extra DLC to get the full experience though…

Isn’t biden older though?

Edit: holy damn. wasnt criticizing or trying to point out ANYONE’s age, I really dgaf whos older or by how much in terms of election. I was just asking a simple question

motor_spirit ,

this one does require a “small” amount of “critical thinking”

Kamikazimatt ,

Yes but he backed out and it says oldest candidate.

NoIWontPickAName ,

Ever

Kamikazimatt ,

Right, and for this election cycle Biden won’t be a candidate but Trump will. Trump is now an older candidate than Biden was when he was a candidate.

marito ,

So, as I understand with all these comments, they’re only candidates if they appear on the ballot on election day? Regardless if they ran and then dropped out?

rockSlayer ,

That would be correct. The debate and everything up to the DNC has been pure punditry. He was not an official candidate.

Catsrules ,

I am confused if they aren’t candidates until they appear on the ballot. Then what do we call them in the meantime?

dmnknf ,

Someone said in another comment that Biden dropped before he was officially nominated, so technically, he was more like a candidate to be a candidate if I get it right

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

He was a presumptive candidate.

MeowZedong ,
@MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml avatar

You’re confused because they don’t know what they’re talking about.

Nominees are the candidates selected by their party. Candidates are those who are campaigning for a position. Neither term is conferred by actually appearing on the ballot (a nominee can drop out before the election), but being officially nominated by their party is how they will get on the ballot.

They are candidates for president when they are nominated by their party. Trump was last week, Biden never was this election cycle.

CausticFlames ,

See If everyone just was able to give a clear and consice, non bullshittery and non-assholish answer like you, the world would be so much better. Thank you, legitimately.

banner80 OP ,

Biden stepped down before getting the official nomination. Trump was nominated by his party last week. That makes Trump officially the oldest candidate nominated by a political party.

MeowZedong ,
@MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml avatar

You are confusing the term candidate and nominee.

Both Biden and Trump were candidates. Trump is now the Republican nominee, Biden was the presumptive Democrat nominee.

@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Jesus, I just realized there’s only 4 years between them. They should both be retired, not running for second terms as president.

SuperIce ,

He’s not a candidate in this election, and Trump is older now than Biden was during the last election.

MrVilliam ,

For those who struggle with math, that means that Biden is less than 4 years older than trump. The people criticizing Biden’s age and not trump’s as well never actually gave a shit about Biden’s age. Look forward to those same people making up bullshit reasons that Harris is less capable than trump. They know they’re full of shit, but it’s not about making sense, it’s about trying to obfuscate what’s pretty clear so that independents and undecideds give up, get frustrated, get confused, and/or get demotivated so that they either stay home or vote 3rd party. There are only two viable parties in this bullshit first past the post system; one of them wants Project 2025 and one of them doesn’t. Look at bullet points for what that is and then get your ass to the polls. It’s that simple. The only people trying to convince you that it’s not that simple are the ones who don’t want you to look at those bullet points because it’s pretty obvious whether most people are for or against that playbook. It’s damning.

NoIWontPickAName ,

First of all vote.

Second of all, I’m sick of this fall in line and do what we say bullshit.

Fuck you!

I will do what I want and if it happens to fall in line with what you tell me to then you’re lucky I’m even still going to do it.

REEEE YOU'RE A FASCIST FOR EVEN MENTIONING THAT MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE A CERTAIN WAY

Viking_Hippie ,

Fun fact: all fascists are authoritarian, but not all who are authoritarian are fascists.

The other commenter rightly called your condescendingly controlling behavior based on adherence to authority authoritarian without calling you a fascist.

Irremarkable ,
@Irremarkable@fedia.io avatar

You may want to check who replied when bud

Viking_Hippie ,

Huh? You’re saying that the timing of his reply is somehow germane to whether or not telling people what to do is authoritarian behavior?

Btw, just for the record, I don’t believe in not voting and will hold my nose and vote for the lesser evil when necessary. That’s not my problem with your comments.

My problem is you pretty much ORDERING people to follow the example of you and me rather than advocating for it without authoritarian language.

Irremarkable ,
@Irremarkable@fedia.io avatar

I didn't tell anyone to do shit. I was simply pointing out that suggesting if people don't like something they should vote against is in no way fascist or authoritarian or any of those things. What the fuck do you think campaigning and canvassing is?

The sheer level of mental gymnastics you'd have to do to think it is is frankly impressive.

MrVilliam ,

I never said to fall in line. I said to look up bullet points on what Project 2025 is, look up who is for and who is against it, and get to the polls. I didn’t even say who to vote for. Everybody voting will result in the will of the people, and as somebody who likes having a democracy, that’s what I’m advocating for. I have my own opinions about which party is more pro democracy, and it’s probably pretty obvious to anybody who is paying attention to politics, but I was intentionally vague so that people can come to their own conclusions based on “doing their own research”.

But I guess for you, telling people to inform themselves and vote based on factual information makes me an authoritarian. Cool.

tomi000 ,

Please dont vote. I have a good guess where that vote would go

NoIWontPickAName ,

To Harris, just like I said it would

Viking_Hippie , (edited )

The people criticizing Biden’s age and not trump’s as well never actually gave a shit about Biden’s age.

You’re right about a lot of us, just not in the way you’re implying: I and a lot of others objected to his diminished capacity rather than his age itself.

Berne’s a little under a year older than Biden and sharper than people two decades younger.

Nancy Pelosi is a year or two older still, and not showing anywhere near as stark signs of decline as Biden is.

Come to think of it, the media harped on and on about Bernie’s age in both the 2016 and 2020 primaries without ever mentioning the health of Hillary or Biden. Did you come to Bernie’s defense in 2020 since he’s in better health than both, heart stent and all, and less than a year older than Biden?

Look forward to those same people making up bullshit reasons that Harris is less capable than trump

Nobody ever said less capable than Trump. There’s several orders of magnitude between “not fit” and “as unfit as Trump”. That Biden was behind in spite of being a much less awful candidate and president was down to Trump’s religious cult as well as media gaslighting.

Personally, I’m no fan of Kamala but I believe that, unlike Biden, she’ll beat Trump if nominated, so you won’t hear me calling for her ouster like I did for the one who was literally incapable of doing the job.

Btw, notice how my comment is much more easily readable than your wall of text in spite of being of similar or greater length?

Breaking up your points into paragraphs takes literally a few seconds and improves the legibility of any long comment immensity.

MrVilliam ,

Yes, Biden clearly showed signs of losing his mental acuity. I didn’t really believe it until I saw it in the past couple of months. But a lot of conservatives weren’t really articulating acuity, they were saying he was too old.

Age in general is a concern to me as well because these old fucks don’t understand how different the world is now compared with 30-50 years ago. Wealth is also a concern to me because wealthy, privileged people haven’t struggled like average Americans have and/or do. Congress needs more people like Katie Porter who understand what it’s like to make difficult home finance decisions and be thankful that there’s even any semblance of choice involved.

Yes, I was fully on board with Sanders in 2016 and 2020. I also liked Warren. One day in the future, maybe Buttigieg or Jeffries. It’s exciting to speculate on all of the rising, younger Democratic stars.

I have my issues with Kamala Harris, but I think that she’s probably the best person to run against trump in 2024 especially with only 3.5 months (which sounds like plenty of time to pick anybody to me, but I’m not qualified to assess that). She’s not my favorite, but I’m more excited about her than I would’ve been for Biden.

My only real concerns for Harris running are what the media spoonfeeds to the gullible masses and what the October surprise will be this time. There’s a part of me that wishes Biden would resign just to take away the talking point of “trump has been president and she hasn’t; is she capable of running the country?” Plus we would already have had a couple months of a woman running the country before the election, so people could see that that’s not an actual thing to be concerned about.

juliebean ,

Nobody ever said less capable than Trump.

one nit to pick: i assure you, a lot of people harping on about biden’s ‘mental decline’ do in fact think trump is more capable, or at the very least are happy to claim to believe so. you’re clearly not one of them, but they exist in droves.

and if bernie had been elected, i suspect they’d make the same claims regardless of evidence to the contrary.

NoIWontPickAName ,

Still says ever, although op points out that he wasn’t officially nominated, but hell I’m a candidate for president if I say so because I have said i was and I meet the minimum requirements

Visstix ,

I don’t think you meet minimum requirements for a lot of things.

So many people go boomer argument mode over this because they don’t like change, but their anger is clearly misplaced. The 3.5mm is not the king of audio connectors and never was, it’s death could very easily have been a good thing.

Why the fuck didn’t headphone makers start offering USB-C devices once phones pulled this move? My PC mobo from 2017 has a C port that could be used for this, I’m certain computers could have easily adapted (and they’re the way smaller market anyway). Is it just because apple had to be special with their lightning bullshit? If so, they’d better start it up now!

Instead of being able to buy new cans with the wire that my phone uses I have to snag an adapter. Not a BIG deal but this change is over 5 fucking years old, we should have these devices as the norm now to avoid all of the fucking issues we’re currently looking at

fatalError ,

Usb is a carrying digital signals for the most part while headphonea are analog. So you have 2 options:

  1. Implement some janky non-standard analog audio in some usb alternate mode that will only work with some devices
  2. Add a digital to analog converter in the plug itself, which is more complex and expensive

Both options prevent you from chanrging while using headphones unless you use a splitter or wireless charging which is not ideal

3.5 mm may not be the king, but it’s extremly simple and fairly robust and has little to no disatvantages except for wireless headphones sales ofc. You don’t have to charge these heqdphones, you don’t have to worry about losing one of them.

Wireless headphonwa have their uses, I doubt they benefit the majority of people tho.

lud ,

Maybe, but than I want two USB-C ports.

quatschkopf43 , to lemmyshitpost in Galaxy S10 til the wheels come off

I used to dislike wireless earbuds until I tried them. They really are much more convenient, especially while riding a bike.

cheddar ,
@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

I switched to wireless during the covid pandemic. Otherwise it was really painful to put on and off the mask each time I entered public transport. And I agree, it’s super convenient in many other situations as well.

MonkderDritte ,

But such a tiny, energy-optimized DAC can’t sound really good, can it?

cheddar ,
@cheddar@programming.dev avatar

It can’t match proper headphones. But I listen to podcasts and books, so the audio quality is not that important.

JeffreyOrange ,

The sony wf series sound honestly amazing. Not very repairable though. That counts for every brand though.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

For the places I need portable headphones for,I really don’t care that much about sound quality. And it is by no means terrible.

chiliedogg ,

The sound is higher-quality than the files we’re getting from the streams, so it’s fine.

lightnsfw ,

I have both wireless and wired. The wireless ones sound fine although if I switch from one to the other the wired are a noticeable improvement. The real issue I have with them is that there’s a noticeable delay that makes watching every video like a dubbed movie. Secondary to that I have never been able to get ones that fit perfectly so I’m constantly having to poke them back in especially if I’m eating or something and my jaw is moving around and there’s just a lot of general bluetooth issues that are annoying. I have a much easier time with the wired ones just working.

TheOakTree ,

BTR5 on LDAC + wired headphones/IEMs have been doing wonders for me.

teamevil ,

But useless when you need to get audio out of a phone into another sysyem

quatschkopf43 ,

Yeah, but for casual use almost all relevant devices have bluetooth nowadays

teamevil ,

You’re not wrong but I audio engineer and dongles are extra points of failure

CaptPretentious ,

It’s not like it was a mutually exclusive option. I have an S9 and I swamp between wireless and wired audio all the time depending on the setting. These newer phones have only one option. Bluetooth does not work well everywhere. Frankly forcing more things into the same radio frequency just makes it worse.
