The hateful minority have run a campaign championing selfishness and ignorance and the vicarious absolution thereof.

it's much easier to be selfish and ignorant than it is to be considerate and responsible.

conservatives are selfish and ignorant and their party is very successfully campaigning selfishness and ignorance.

on the other hand, the democrats have to convince people that childish short-term desires are not always the best decision for themselves and others.

Trump is telling everybody that if you want to steal a cheeseburger from somebody else and eat it, then you should.

Harris is telling everybody that stealing is wrong and counterproductive, and cheeseburgers are not healthy.

or, since Trump is a rapist:

Trump is telling conservatives it's good to rape people If they want to rape people.

Harris is telling people that it isn't good to rape people because it violates their dignity and free will.

paid leave is the first answer that would get me to vote in person.

I can't believe none of you wait in lines haha, it's good to hear but absolutely surreal.

I don't think I've ever been to a voting office without waiting for at least half an hour.

I like voting early just so I get confirmation my vote was counted and if anything goes wrong I have a few weeks to deal with it.

your method sounds good too.

that's a good point.

has anything significantly swayed your local election preferences this year?

feel free to make up an analog situation to avoid revealing anything personal.

you can track your mail in ballot, but I do like what you're talking about, leaving physical recordings and evidence of you voting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

milkshakes are convincing.

you can track your mail-in ballot and receive a notification when it's received and tallied.

but it's nice to ride around. get a chore done.

using an electronic voting machine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

with mail in voting, you got a notification after your ballot is counted and you can track and follow up on it on its journey.

couldn't the same vote invalidation happen whether you vote in person or by mail if you're worried about your state poll workers?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I have had the exact opposite experience, but I'm glad in-person voting works for you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

oh great. yeah that totally makes sense.

I always waited in lines lines in an uncomfortable, stressful atmosphere, so I prefer the quietude at my own time in my own home.

Good luck with your son, I'm sure you guys will figure it out.

 

Just curious since it seems so much easier and less stressful during any election cycle to fill out a form and mail it in during your free time.

 

there are certain things I want to be out of the loop of, anything to do with him seems good.

I'm looking for mobile solutions specifically.

thank you very much

 

i like watching "making-of" or "behind-the-scenes" featurettes and documentaries about the behind the scenes machinations of movie making, but in terms of literature, I'm not sure what to look for if i want to learn about the process Martha wells went through to conceive the murderbot diaries, for example.

i can search for making-of The Matrix and find documentaries, but not making-of project hail Mary and find similar literary results.

is there a section of literature like this?

should i be reading annotated editions?

thanks

 

I used to take screenshots of the picture I wanted to use as wallpaper, but then Android stopped that from working, and now I have to manually add a giant border to make the screenshots fit the arbitrary fiant wallpaper size on the Android screen.

any normal screenshot I take is blown way oversized, is there any way to simply make a screenshot my wallpaper yet on Android?

it seems crazy that this is still so complicated years later on Android, am I missing something?

Thanks for any help

 

the car models can be whatever, I'm just curious if anyone is dressing up their cheap cars as expensive ones or if this is an industry yet?

is there a legal hurdle?

is there a limit to car decision in general?

is this sort of car case business already a thing?

 

Also, thank you for posting and commenting and making such an exciting community thrive!

 

Update: thank you everyone! user @Today has provided a great link of a discussion that suggests the correct answer is where being an abbreviation of, whereas as a replacement of since, hypothesized in these comments.

As I love archaic definitions, I'm more convinced to now that this is the answer!

Especially since the question originates from one weirdo using "where" instead of since.

Like "Where we knew he was heading to Chicago tomorrow, we got on the first plane heading east to intercept."

"Where we knew where the safe was, we began to cut through the wall in the corner behind her desk."

Thanks

 

This is the first I've heard of it, but here's one of his infamous quotes:

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews.

I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

His other quotes tend to be condemnation about specifically Israeli zionism and barbaric murder, but i don't have context as to whether he's referring to palestine or not. Some people might have more sympathy for these statements these days, but a lot of his other quotes have to do with Jews controlling money and media, less defensible prejudice.

 

I haven't met anyone yet who does and I haven't read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks

I have one from a band called Massie that says "you work hard, I'll be sexy".

Makes me laugh every time.

I also have a t-shirt with a purple teddy bear under a paragraph of text telling a nihilist horror story in broken english about that teddy bear as if he were a real person.

Both winners.

 

Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.

The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.
