From Ohio, they seem to love cucking themselves so this is probably gonna pass.

Please vote no, I can’t think of a single advantage or positive outcome to raising the requirement to 60%.

Wish we could do this in my town, miles of undeveloped lakefront access blocked by an 8 lane highway… it sucks.

The perspective was “geez it sure feels dumb celebrating ‘independence and freedom’ while sisters throughout the state are being actively oppressed.”

They know a BBQ is a small thing, they know 12 fewer people watching fireworks won’t make a difference, and they’ll keep volunteering, protesting and voting accordingly… but when you’re struggling to bubble up any feelings of patriotism and failing to find enjoyment in the spirit of the holiday, why participate?

The wives of my friend group unanimously decided they straight up weren’t taking part in July 4th until their bodily autonomy and right to care is restored. It sucked not having a cookout but I can’t say I blame them in the slightest.

Speak for yourself asshole, the most vulnerable populations among us are waiting for you to do your jobs. Typical GOP “The govt doesn’t work and elect us to prove it” BS

Hm looks like each game takes ~2x time to complete and release the next, thus we can accurately estimate that GTA7 should be out around 2044, Just in time for my grandkids to enjoy it!

Insomnia has that classic postman feel, but personally I switched to hurl ( https://hurl.dev/ ) I really like how simple it is once it’s setup.

Impossible to say, there is no easy or immediate fix that I can imagine. I’ve basically accepted the underlying threat of fascism is something we are going to be dealing with for the rest of our time on the planet. Continue to vote to keep fascists off the levers of power, continue to protest whenever they have the levers, and pray the wheels of justice ground finely for enemies of democracy. Perhaps our kids or grandkids will find themselves in a better situation for their times…

Cry me a river. Clinton had a plan to retrain and retool these coal towns your describing into productive green energy leaders and they rejected it because she eats babies and wind farms kill birds, or whatever. They are totally irrational and I’m not going to keep pretending otherwise. The real government failure is lack of education spending and critical thinking skills (thanks GOP) that is going to take generations to correct.

Edit: I’ll add there are sparks of “hope” in rural america now that farmers are seeing the impacts of climate change effecting their yields, I think they are starting to come around. Probably too late, but it’s something…

I never made it into algebra in grade school, my scores weren’t good enough. but I took a liking to software dev and the ability to create digitally. Self taught myself all the variables and flow controls and OOP, now been a professional developer for 15 years.

However I still suck at math, and these fancy symbols still scare me probably because they were never properly explained. But yeah, I fit right in the mold you describe. Glad I have the computer to crunch the numbers for me.

Grumpy cat will always have a place in my heart

Sooo no digital, what about phone calls? Are judges signing wiretap warrants for abortion investigations? What the fuck.
