Sure, but… is “too much discussion” really a problem that Lemmy has? This is kind of a threatening time for some of us, especially if we don’t have a lot of friends irl.

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!

Unironically I would like to be buried unembalmed in a forest. Or maybe at the bottom of a lake. Hey, I bet if I insulted some old-school gangsters, they could make it happen.

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.

Mr Auld-Thomas and his colleagues named the city Valeriana after a nearby lagoon.

…

It is “hidden in plain sight”, the archaeologists say, as it is just 15 minutes hike from a major road near Xpujil where mostly Maya people now live.

This archeologist just discovered a Maya city, and they decided to call it “Valeriana” (in the language of the conquistadors) insted of something like “Xpujil” (in the language of the people who still live there.)

They’re not thinking big enough. They should call it “openai.com” and go for corporate sponsorship!

I was gonna finish with “…an ANGEL OF DEATH!!!” and start to air guitar. If she does the intro scream, she’s a keeper.
