Here from Reddit–might stay a while.

Because people like my idiot brother think “he trounced that ho in the debate.”
Why do so many people post on this community and other “asks” about stuff that I have literally never encountered at all yet purport it to be a rampant trend?
Finally a shower thought that isn’t just trying to redefine words or concepts! Thank you!
I was yelling about how windows 11 swapped out text listingzs for copy, paste, etc from its contextual menus for stupid icons just the other day. Modern UIs are becoming so “streamlined” to the point of uselessness.
I worked at Starbucks about a decade ago and it was ~a special treat~ when we were allowed to take a very small portion of the marked off goods but we had to make sure to throw most of it out least an internal audit show we were (mind you) not selling enough versus the actual problem of wasting untold amounts of food. Fucking disgusting operation.
It may be apocryphal, but supposedly one of my brother’s elementary school teachers was going on one day about how it’s impossible to see the moon during daylight and a kid pointed out the window and said “it’s right there.”
Seems pretty stupid but knowing where I grew up I don’t disbelieve it happened.
A magical thing called google.
Sounds like your daughter needs to actually learn how to drive. I made scary mistakes when I was learning but the key was I learned to not make those mistakes. Take the phone out of the equation and let her learn the roads where she’s driving. Teach her to pay attention to her mirrors, what other drivers are doing (and not doing) and anticipate moronic behavior from other motorists.
Ah, yes of course, because there can’t be any subtlety to how we feel societal systems be implemented—it must all be all or nothing. Regardless, nothing I posted is blocking people from voting or advocating for actual impediments. I just shared an aside that my personal opinion is that if someone is too stupid to figure out how to vote they probably shouldn’t be voting in the first place.
We’re the oldest democracy in the world and as such are likely the most poorly designed.
How is wanting people to vote a weird opinion?
If someone is so inept that they are incapable of utilizing the internet or otherwise seeking help from a person who they trust, or (shock) reach out to their local authorities to navigate the very simple task of registering to vote then yes, I believe said individual is probably not in a position to cast a meaningful and informed vote. Does that disenfranchise people? Yes. There is a point in which we must draw a line in saying certain individuals are not eligible to participate in this system (which we do all the time; see: minors, felons, etc.)
That being said, my comment is not physically stopping a moron-incapable-of-using-google from registering to vote—further I provided general information on how to do it. I want everyone who can do so to vote.
who’s downvoting and can you explain why?
Just as a PSA, if anyone is concerned about malfeasance in the voter registration process, go to your state of residence’s Secretary of State website or the main State Website. I will not post any links becuase if you can’t navigate the web to find an official website I really don’t think you should be voting—sorry kids, mids and olds.
Your state’s Secretary of State website will have instructions on how to both register to vote and to actually vote. Your state’s official website will also have the same information if your state doesn’t have that office and registration is controlled by some other entity.
We (united states citizens) live in a federation and the reality of that is most elections are handled by local powers so there are some ocassional differences in how voting is administrated, key point—go to your locality’s OFFICIAL websites to find how to register to vote.
It really does matter. There are elections beyond the presidency. Hate your senator? vote, hate your Representative? VOTE. HATE YOUR STATE REPS? FUCKING VOTE? Live in a state where ballot initiatives are a thing??? FUCKING VOTE!!!
it doesnt cost money. just register and educate yourself on what’s on the ballot and go to the goddamn polls. there are a lot of issues causing problems right now in the US but at least one thing we can do is go to the ballots on election days and vote based on our convictions.
search for your state’s Secretary of State website or go to your state’s official website if you are concerned. An official government website will generally have a .gov address or a .state.StateLetterAbriviation.us or some permutation.
this sure is a word salad of a non-statement.
anyone else looking forward to the anime adaptation of “Chillin’ woke AF in another world with 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one.”?
I played this game start to finish on PC (A Frankenstein-esquire gaming rig)—never had this issue. I am guessing this is a made-up problem or just someone trying to run this game on a computer that is not capable of running it. a lot of people assume because they “have a pc” they can just run the latest and greatest game. Dude’s probably on his work issued thinclient trying to boot up a modern AAA game with basic-ass virtual resources and are like “huh?” when it doesnt work.
