So this one isn’t necessarily about the poverty and struggle, but it definitely feels like a character in the life of the main protagonist: Blue Ruin

(action/suspense film, but mc lives in a car)

You can swear on here. Stop censoring memes, it’s fucking dumb.

I’m a bit paranoid about neighbors stealing it. I live in a place where most people vote the way I do, but I’m still anxious about people just being assholes, or thinking I look like a conservative (I get it, I kinda do) even though I’m not.

I still mail mine in though, I just try to put it in my mailbox an hour before the carrier is gonna arrive to pick it up. Plus, I am subscribed to an email system that tells me when they get it.

Do you think he’s as sick to his stomach as everyone else

Trump is the market favorite because some rich dipshit was ballot stuffing. Ignore the market betting.

STOP. FUCKING. REPUBLICANS.

Look, I know women in these situations often have no easy way to get out from the financial situation they’re in, or will be alone and unsafe with a vengeful partner. I feel terribly for anyone in that situation, and if I knew anyone like that personally I would offer to help them.

But don’t fuck them in the first place.

Another way that works is just to catch them on a downward tangent to their current fall trajectory, but rapidly slowing down and then turning back up. It means your scenario has to have enough vertical space to perform this maneuver, but not necessarily a lot–even a very small downward deceleration will turn death into bruises, because it’s like falling into padding.

This is a pretty funny bit, but 99% of people just see this bumper sticker and think “Another MAGA fuckhead”. There’s committing to the bit, and then there’s whatever this is.

I definitely thought it was weird that a lot of people were specifically blaming the comedian for the PR jokes. Like, yes, the jokes came out of his mouth, but they were laser targeted at his audience.

Glad to see Trump once again clearing up the confusion about who’s the main villain.

Err, you actually can’t kill 1.3 billion average americans. There aren’t 1.3 billion Americans.

That’s what gets me about this one. It’s not just that they don’t care until it affects them–it’s how incredibly specific this one is. My dude, did you think that he hates Mexicans, South Americans, Dominicans, Haitians, literally every single person on Earth living south of the Texas border, EXCEPT Puerto Ricans?

Sure, he hates black people, Mexicans, Ukrainians, basically Europe, every single person in a blue state, women, the justice system, Jews, TAYLOR SWIFT, trans people, Haitian immigrants, sure he also hates pets and children, but at least he’s okay with Puerto R–

wait HANG on he said WHAT

This comic conveniently omits that the Republican party has been incubating the fascist alien eggs in their party for decades. And then they attached the face-hugger to themselves.

Sure he needs to be taxed into dust. But he doesn’t own the WaPo because it’s making him rich. He runs it because it’s a propaganda machine for him.

He lost 10% of his subscribers, almost immediately, when he tried to use it that way openly. Which says:

• it’s now a 10% less effective propaganda machine (and that number will keep growing)
• it’s possible that it was never effective in the first place

Given those two propositions, he might just unload it, which would be nice for the rest of us.

Yeah, I don’t see any other option. I’m just saying it ain’t good.

I agree that almost everyone affected would WANT to vote again; most of the work of voting is deciding who to vote for, and they’ve already done that.

Another problem though is that not everyone affected will know that anything happened to their ballot.

(from the point of the vote counters) They know because there are individualized bar codes on every envelope. They will just count every ballot that arrives intact. If they scan one and it’s from a voter who has already been counted, they’ll have to figure out if that’s voting fraud or a legitimate consequence of an act of arson/other problem–and it’s almost never voting fraud.

(from the point of view of the voter) assume your ballot was destroyed, get another one, vote again.
