Definitely, my situation would not be normal in Minneapolis, where I was born and grew up. There it was a little more chaotic, longer lines, but still not terrible.
Minnesota hasn’t been one of those states desperately trying to keep people from voting, thankfully.
And we are trying to keep it that way.
We don’t have these issues here in Minnesota. Plenty of polling places, short lines.
Here in Duluth I live right across the street from the church that is a polling station. Never taken me more than ten minutes including the walk there and back.
It really doesn’t help that most people use /s not when they’re being sarcastic but when they are mocking those with opposing views.
Unfortunately it’s hard to employ such mockery in text as you just end up repeating the arguments you’re trying to refute.
He was an asshole too. But it is easier to forget running water without the audible cue.
I lived with a deaf man for a few months and one thing I noticed is he would often forget to turn off the water in the kitchen.
He didn’t watch TV at all and was not at all respectful when someone was watching or listening to something. Just constant interruptions.
I’m always amused at the downvotes it collects. People hammering a button to acknowledge their dislike of something they are choosing to not block.
My only problem with these bots is that I don’t want them counted toward comments - I hate going in to find the only comments are bots.
I felt like the movies did that just fine. Faramir was able to resist the pull of the ring when he knew it was fully within his grasp if he chose.
Boromir failed almost immediately. He barely tried to resist it, and so he fell the fastest.
Yes, Faramir had learned that his brother fell to the ring’s temptation but Boromir was already walking down that road too.
I really dislike when people share news from local news sites like this because they very, very rarely add the context to know where the fuck it happened.
It’s worse than ragebait. It’s completely useless and adds nothing to a discussion.
The core Avengers:
Captain America: Battlemaster Fighter
Black Widow: Assassin Rogue
Iron Man: Armorer Artificer, as others said
Hulk: Path of the Giant Barbarian
Hawkeye: Arcane Archer Fighter
Thor: Pact of the Blade (Hammer) Warlock
You have no idea how happy and relieved I was when I saw the term “brain shocks”.
I wasn’t insane, I wasn’t the only one, and it’s a normal thing.
Now what’s really weird is that I had them at a young age when I don’t think I was on any medication. Certainly in the days before Prozac and the like. And I can’t recall when they stopped.
When I had them (on wellbutrin) they weren’t withdrawal symptoms and could happen at almost any time of day.
It’d present when I’d get up or turn my head. I’d feel/hear a high pitched zing sound and my vision would stutter a little. Very disconcerting, especially when driving, carrying heavy items, or using sharp objects.
Went away when I switched meds.
Thank you for elaborating, and apologies for assuming I fully understood.
I totally get the existential dread, anxiety, and depression. Never easy to cope with.
Yup, that was the point. They used to do that but now realize they might actually be needed.
No, they were saying they didn’t bother since their party was winning anyway. Easy to misread though.
She is a woman of color who was a cop and prosecutor when recent events call those first two qualities into question with the latter two.
But this is a time when Democrats, I believe, will say that this is a strong candidate with knowledge of the legal system in a time when we need to strike down right-wing supported terrorism and put the enemies of our nation away.
Let’s see how she campaigns, not that she can lose my vote.
The phrase is Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.
But I don’t think it’s really all that accurate. It’s more like Republicans fall in line, Democrats come to terms with.
And we will.
Also, Biden was not bad at the job. Few had the knowledge of the levers of power to keep shit running with Republican/Sinema/Manchin obstruction.
But he is four years older, and I hope moving to a different candidate works out. Democrats should love a chance to vote for a totally new candidate who keeps most of the same mildly progressive agenda.
But I will say if she doesn’t stick with the plan to reform the Supreme Court I will be extremely disappointed.
A shitload of work went into preventing Y2K from having the impact people worried about.
It wasn’t all fearmongering.
To add to this, he had looked up several targets, including Biden. So it was likely as you say, a psychotic break followed by lashing out, rather than a partisan choice.
I would never trust anything Kennedy said.
