returns?
Two possible scenarios:
OP’s autocorrect wrote “returns” when they meant for the post to say “results”, in reference to the U.S. election
OP knows that the rapture is happening tomorrow when the pious souls will return to Heaven
I like the second scenario best tbh, even if it entails me burning in hell for the rest of eternity.
Don’t worry, the first scenario also could produce hell on earth for the rest of eternity as well
I don't know. I've been enjoying the late decadence of western civilization, to be perfectly honest. It could get worse, sure, but can you imagine anything more boring than having our collective survival as a species guaranteed?
I can't.
Sounds like an improvement.
There's a difference between poll returns and election results. Returns are "as they happen" and get updated. Results are final.
Thanks. I realized after the comment that the term has gone out of fashion
Weird. Let’s bring it back!
Even if the rapture happens tomorrow, nothing changes.
"God" - "I started the rapture, why aren't there more people up here?"
St peter- "there weren't any believers that were qualified"
Take them anyway, I really don't want to be stuck with a bunch of rapture reject crybabies. Burn me in hell forever, see if I give a shit, but don't make me listen to them whine about it.
Oops. Thanks
It's kind of an obsolete vernacular
Resulta?
Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick!
Happens to everyone. Thx for fixing! :)
You're not wrong though. Poll returns are what you get gradually until all votes are reported. Results are the final results of the election.
