They've already performed their duty. Silly boys can't even stochastic terrorism right.

I guess this is what the bloviating one was talking about when he twatted "if you come for me i'll come for you."

Little slow on the draw there, gordito.

You're right, she might do a good job, and I sincerely hope she does.

I think lack of experiece and poor performance in the past is a good indicator that she's likely to do a bad job in the future.

Why does it matter if "the media" is trying to make her look bad? There's no election, the choice has been made. The point of this article is to provide information about her past performance, specifically because she has already been rebuked by a higher court for what they considered to be poor reasoning and lack of understanding of the case and because it is going to be such a prominent and complex case with so much riding on it.

Why can't we just pay them with money? I block every ad I can, because everything is better without ads.

If there is no option for paying outside of using me as a datapoint, I'm going to be a freeloader.

Also, respectfully to all those here gathered, fuck reddit. It's over. It doesn't love us and never did.

That's true. I wonder if they're going to gag him now?

We already had unpassable tests used to disenfranchise people for a long time. I wonder if you don't know about those or just agree with how they were used.

The most ignorant and racist people I know are all over 25, why would you only want it for those under 26?

as an old fart, computer time isnt free

There is a book about it: IBM and the holocaust.

here is a summary, hopefully not paywalled.

I think it sure is interesting that data vampires exist but that they also don't care about the quality of their food.

I bet there are hundreds or maybe thousands of these data vampires on here right now scrolling and searching for the text and image based content they use to sustain themselves.

They live amongst us.

edit: this is not sarcastic, but playful

Florida is attempting to get it on the ballot for November, but already has the 60% rule in place that they were trying to pass in Ohio. That rule is why Florida doesnt have recreational cannabis, as it failed at 59% last time it was on the ballot.

A mi no me molesta, los de habla inglesa estan tratando de mejorar. Si algun latino lo dice en castellano ahi empiezan los problemas.

perdoname la mala autografia

Don't threaten pudding fingers with a good time.

Recreational cannabis has met the required signatures to be on the ballot in Nov. 2024, but still needs to be approved by the state supreme court. We'll see how that goes.

¿Besas a tu mamà con esa boca?

my mom had me when i was young, too

hope you had a good rest

As someone who has done similar things professionally, I am not envious.

Is /c/bestof a thing yet?

This is not a personal attack, the truth is I know nothing about you, and my assumption is that you're most likely a decent human being, as most of us strive to be.

The first reason for my comment is that we've already had a series of 'common sense' laws (in the US) that were used to not allow certain people to participate in the electoral process. These were called literacy tests, and you can read about them here and see an example test.

The other reason is that advocating for stripping rights from other people should not be taken lightly. While young people can be misinformed and make silly mistakes, they are old enough to reason things out and understand the consequeces of their actions, and older people are not immune to any of the things that you mentioned.

Furthermore, the issue of young people not having enough knowledge about the civic process falls squarely on the shoulders of those people in their lives that are teaching them. If your their own parents, teachers, and other role models do not stress the importance of these things, it is unreasonable to expect the average person to be interested.

Finally, this idea of raising the voting age has been floated (recently) since the demographics of the last election came back and showed that young people voted in much higher numbers than usual. It is seen by many people as a naked attempt to game the system to keep people who are voting against republicans from casting their most likely dissenting votes.

Look, you didn't do anything wrong here. You expressed yourself, and a lot of people are jaded because there are a lot of people online who just like to rile people up or are being paid to say intentionally inflammatory things, or they're having a bad day, or take your pick. This is how we learn.

When my daughter was born, we asked the nurses about things our parents had taught us that were now considered not the best way to do things. They told us "when we know better, we do better," and that phrase has really stuck with me.

I hope this interaction hasn't turned you off politics in general, and I wish you the best in your future online commenting endeavors.

I do not have a Tesla vehicle but this is flat out wrong. Electric motors are way more efficient per mile than IC motors, and transmission does not make a dent.

Elmo is a middle school bully, and electric vehicles are still problematic in a lot of ways, but your criticisms are not based in reality, and have been debunked as right wing talking points.

those two things seem to have high comorbidity

When you steal electricity, someone else can't use it, the capacity is consumed. When you won't pay the maid, he can't get his labor and time back to use elsewhere. When you squat in a hotel room, someone else can't use it and it needs to be cleaned afterwards.

When you "buy" a piece of software or a digital copy of media, you're really just renting the license to use it as long as the company that rented it you feels like it.

The difference is that when you make a copy of something digital, the original is still completely intact. The thing is not consumed, you can copy that file 10,000 times on your own machine and see for yourself.
