I’m voting for Harris since she’s below the age of 65 and a Democrat, that’s all I want.

What I need is a president who uses the powers given to them by a corrupt SCOTUS to just say “you gave me this loaded gun, make sure you know where I’m going to point it” and then give us more rights than ever before.

Ensured abortion. Better union rights. Prohibiting book bannings. Better protections for BIPOC and LGBTQ people. Ensuring voting doesn’t get limited due to state lines. Healthcare. Education. Taxing the rich.

Are we going to get that? Never in a million years, we’ll see the end of the Republic before we see any president use their power grabbing for anything meaningfully good and not taking away rights of citizens.

Harris could use it for good but probably won’t. Trump will use it for evil. That’s the honest truth.

This dude is weird.

> Barges into public conversation

> Refuses to read the room

> Asks why would anyone be against this

> Elaborates by insulting people who are just living their lives

> Refuses to leave, says they won.

But your stupid ass doesn’t wanna read what I HAVE to say! And you have the balls to call me ignorant? Fuck off. Blocked.

Bye, I don’t wanna deal with someone who barges into a conversation, questions everything and nothing at the same time, and then says people talking about it are too confusing until people take hours explaining it.

The TLDR: “I don’t understand the point of this place and since I can’t read, this place sucks.”

Every comment here is “Why do you wanna do that?!” And then it’d explained and they double down or ignore it.

Even if we lose in 2024, we keep fighting.

I’m trying to. I live in the district Kevin McCarthy was in. His replacement isn’t great. Our blanket primary was “Republican backed by Kevin and Trump” and “Republican backed by conservative think tanks and Trump staff”.

I’ve considered running for office using a form of leftist talks masked like Republican talking points. But an openly queer leftist in Republican territory won’t go well, unless I figure out what urn I want ahead of time.

I don’t know how to make it clear: I live in California. If I voted for a ham sandwich for president it would have the same impact as voting for Biden. My state’s EC is clear and chosen, and popular vote doesn’t decide the president otherwise we’d never have Trump. I was considering going Greens, but I’m looking forward to Harris. Get mad at undecideds in Swing States and Trump supporters, not a registered Democrat in California.

I may be a weirdo, but I was on the “I’d consider not voting for Biden.” but I’m currently more interested in Harris. Nowhere near as bad of a track record as Biden had. From being racist, to supporting rapists getting into the Supreme Court, to backing massive removal of constitutional rights.

Harris’ record isn’t perfect, and while I’m in California, I don’t recall any bills she pushed/voted for as Senator that was anything as bad as the USA PATRIOT Act. I don’t like her record as our AG at all, but Senator is a different story.

If she picks a good VP pick, I’d be down. I’m wanting maybe Newsom, but that’s just he biggest Democrat I know, as he’s my Governor.

Edit: I don’t know how to make it clear: I live in California. If I voted for a ham sandwich for oresident it would have the same impact as voting for Biden.

Yep. American police are on par with USSR, East Germany, and China. We just think we’re better because our flags are red white and blue, not red and gold.

My bad, I meant the CIA blacksites that can detain citizens for no reason, the vans that kidnapped protestors during the BLM movement, and that the supreme court has ruled that of you’re near a border, you don’t have rights.

Yep, I’ve gone extreme lengths and they always move the goalposts. At some point you just learn to block the weirdos who think “If they disagree, they are a robot!”

Well seeing as we:

• Call officers who hide as “undercover agents” but we call them in other countries “secret police” and
• We have police who hide in unmarked cars
• Both parties love cops more than its own citizens, increasing funds for cops than any regulation on them. One even has a cop as a VP.
• Cops aren’t required to know the laws they arrest you for
• “Innocent until proven guilty” is often a farce when you’re any form of minority, where people are killed on death row for crimes they never committed
• Cops are paid more for militarization than teachers and social programs who prevent future criminals
• Cops can shot anyone for any reason with a rare chance of even being punished for it by leaving to join a different police force
• The NSA, FBI, and CIA know more of its citizens than neighbors know each other, despite it being illegal.
• Not even getting into how cops often crack down on citizens’ movements and protests, especially those of BIPOC and Queer.

I’m going to go with “Since at least 2001, way longer if you’re any form of minority.” China learns from the Americans, like Nazi Germany did from our treatment of its citizens.

“Trump is a monster and I want someone who has a solid shot at fighting him so we all don’t lose.”

“I’m hearing you want Trump to win.”

My mom wasn’t a alt-right wingnut, thankfully. But she kept me homeschooled despite me asking for regular schooling because she wanted the enabling of abuse. A child who could tell a teacher what she was saying to me was a threat to her. I didn’t go to any schooling beyond some 1st grade, and then she forced me into college when she grew tired of abusing me, until I ran out of support venues and she dragged me back to home.

One homework thing my thought was to just read comic panels from Sunday newspapers archived online. That’s it. I was given old “general knowledge” books but never anything in depth of any study. I had to learn fields from parsing google and Wikipedia, even if she allowed the use of a computer.

I’m sure there’s some legitimate use cases for homeschooling, especially for children who are immune compromised. But I’ve never heard of a happy story of homeschooling, lord knows I’m not one of them. I was held back socially and education wise from my peers, even with my skills.

At the very very least, there should be a way for the state to enforce regular homeschooling standards. Track what grade the kids should be on, how they are doing, and then also economic aid for those who do.

But my personal experience with homeschooling is that it’s never for the betterment of the child, it’s always to enable abuse and submission of the child to the parent. Because new ideas are scary to the parent, and new ideas allow new ways of thinking that the parent didn’t want the child to do.

I’m biased as hell, but when you’re trapped with someone who beats you for a learning disability that would have been accommodated for in a public school that you as a 14 year old asked for, it leaves an impression on you.

“Hey can you help me finish dinner? Make sure the table is set up. Maybe grade some cheese.” Done.

“Dinner is ready! I didn’t mean it was ready-ready, I just used the wrong set of words to explain my desires and needs. Why are you upset that I’m not using the words in the language I thought you? Never mind, I clearly didn’t need any help according to you.”

If you’re adult, talk like one. If you’re a parent, communicate and act like one.

Sure a 5 year old doesn’t have the vocabulary and mental fortitude to understand or explain the concept.

But if you have a child, you raise them for 5 years, I assume you care about them. You can explain “Can you help mommy set the table?” or “Can you pass daddy the plates?”

You don’t need to explain the process of your work and the commute and other things. But if you just explained things to your children, they’ll understand. When my parents did, I got to understood the task and why they wanted it. When my mother or my boss barked orders without any understanding why or how, I was left more confused.

And trust me, I worked retail, most people are fine, some people are real pieces of work. I still have some horror stories of customers, some frequent, some once or twice. But what got me out of every single one, was talking it out. From a dude who had literally half of his skull and brain missing, to my co-workers, to the average customer I forgot by the end of my shift.

My Xiaomi phone for $400 supports up to 1 TB SD cards, so that’s pretty sweet.

Here’s a few things that are cheaper!

• Soulseek/Nicotine+
• Usenet Groups
• Libraries (only if your local one has CDs, and often is popular music and no indie stuff) And if you want some album art: MusicBrainz Picard

If you want it on your phone, SD cards are cheaper than ever for big space. Unless you’re on iPhone.

Bro is onto fucking nothing with this one, like what are you even saying with this

Just another reminder that sports are segregated by gender because men got upset at women beating them, not because of “muh muscle mass” or “muh bone density”.

It’s why Chess is fucking segregated by gender. The most “giga brained chess grandmasters” didn’t like being beaten by women.
