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!

When I was in grad school, I went to a conference in Portugal. One of the other American grad students slipped on a paving stone and bust his leg. It wasn’t that bad, but he was freaking out because he had no idea how European insurance worked and he was afraid he’d be in serious debt. Everyone at the hospital thought that was hilarious. Why would getting hurt put you in debt? They patched him up for no charge. In theory he could have gone to some office and made a modest payment, but nobody was going to actually make him do that.

“Over the Top” is free on youtube, btw:

DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED

• vote early if you can
• tell your friends to vote early
• contact your local campaign and see if you can help – it’s not too late!

Unfortunately the other kids will call her a “door-k” for the rest of the school year.

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.

The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

Who’s the drummer? I don’t recognize him. _/jk
