I mean… you’re kind of right, but this is a “read the room” situation.

FWIW most clowns are hard-working, skilled individuals who bring joy to people’s lives.

You’re right that it varies by state. For example, in Pennsylvania, the ballots have to be received by 8pm on Nov 5. Source: https://www.pa.gov/en/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot.html

Yeah, I know… it’s easy to be cynical and do nothing… I have to fight against that feeling every day, I’m dealing with it now even…

• My fellow Americans, the election day “ground game” is crucial
• If you’re in the US, look here: https://events.democrats.org/ to get involved. It’s not too late!

The election day ground game is crucial! Don’t waste your time just worrying. If you’re in the US, look here: https://events.democrats.org/ It’s not too late!

It was kind of funny to watch Hanzawa Naoki, and they’d be like: “As punishment, we’re transferring you to this city outside of Tokyo!” And they’d be like: omgz a fate worse than death. And I’d look up the city and it’d be a place with great public transportation, a famous temple, and amazing local cuisine.

I never really “got” Bach until I saw the smalin visualizations.

Dunno, I’m not a natural at this, so I’m still “decompressing”. I kept thinking of that picture with the kid holding a sign saying “It’s so bad, even the introverts are here!”

Hey, I was working solo through a 42-door canvass list when I saw your post, it was encouraging!

“Over the Top” is free on youtube, btw:

Suggest a first date that involves a mosh pit.

Unfortunately the other kids will call her a “door-k” for the rest of the school year.

I was going to agree, but I haven’t had Brach’s candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it’s hard to be sure.

Yeah, there are a couple benefits:

• what if you plan to vote on a certain day, but then there’s a problem like illness, car breaks down, work or family emergency, etc. If you were planning to vote early, you still have a chance.
• if people try to suppress the vote, it’s harder because they’d have to do so over several Early Voting days and there’d be more chance to counter them
• it puts less pressure on the system and increases throughput. Sometimes machines just break down normally, or there are supply shortages, and if it’s the last day then you might have people waiting in line for hours.
• Finally I think from a campaign perspective, you’re more likely to tell your friends that you voted early and suggest they do the same (or even that you contact the campaign and get involved somehow)

Yeah I voted yesterday, here in my “battleground state”. The wait was less than 5 minutes.

Hey fam, go to !fedigrow@lemm.ee and check out the weekly “How are you doing with your communities?” post if you haven’t already. It’s like a support group for people keeping niche communities alive.

The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

My BFF had this skill: whenever they sang an Elvis tune (like “Blue Moon”) their cats would start humping. They weren’t singing it weird, maybe a little more warbly than normal. Anyway, we were in this zoo once, and I said, “I wonder if that lion would react to your Elvis songs the same way your cats do!” I was just kidding, but my BFF started singing the same way and that lion suddenly became VERY alert and stared right at us. I started wondering if a properly motivated lion could leap that gap that was keeping us separated, and what I would do if it reached us. Anyway, my point is: it depends on how you sing it.
