  • Familiarity breeds trust. They aren’t trying to sell you insurance. They are trying to get you to think of their name when you shop for insurance. They want you to see Progressive and think, “Yeah, that’s a company I’ve heard of.” If you were choosing between two brands equivalent, and you had never heard of one of them, most people will pick the one they have heard of. That’s why 90% of insurance commercials are just repeating the name of the company and words like “trust” or “value”.






  • CE is Clear Entry. If you want to hit 2 x 4, but accidentally press 2 x 44, you can press the CE button before pressing = to clear the 44 but not the “2 x” part.

    C will clear all of it so you can start over at the beginning.

    Pressing CE twice may or may not clear entries in reverse order, depending on you calculator model.

    This is why nobody can take you seriously. Harris is not engaged in the genocide, and Trump is on record as wanting Netanyahu, the actual architect of the Palestinian genocide, to finish the job. Harris is the VP of a different country, and the person who is Hitler in this analogy prefers her opponent.

    And there’s no way to reach your position through intellectual honesty. Your motives are transparent, and that is why you will fail.



  • DC gets 3 electoral votes. PR gets none. But, Puerto Ricans are Americans, and can move to any state they like and register to vote there. But they do have to establish residency in that state. If they then leave the country and vote by mail, their votes would count in the state where they established residency.

    So someone living in PR who moved to PA, established residency there, and then went home could request an absentee ballot, but I don’t know how long they could live outside the state and still be registered there.
