- Comment on If I found voter irregularities in my home district do I have to hire a lawyer to prove it.? Or just let it go and the Florida Orange win? 1 hour ago:
I was thinking if it’s just a ballot that has a number but it’s not attached to your name. I.e. if the person handing out the ballots gives you a random one and you’re the only one who knows your own number. I’ve never used electric voting machines but maybe a randomly generated number that you can know but nobody else would know?

Go all out and get Dick Wolf behind this. “Law and Order: Vigilante Justice” where the cops are all inept but there is a dedicated team of New Yorkers working together to bring justice to the streets of America.

That’s crazy, Americans would never vote in someone accused of such serious crimes right? A suspected felon could never be in the White House, that would be unthinkable!

- Comment on Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry 5 hours ago:
This is insane peak capitalism. Paying “donations” to an organized group to provide food and shelter is literally just recreating what the government should be doing with taxes. If this cartel is real, it’s just illegal socialism.
As long as they’re not hurting anyone, I’m not against it, but that’s just such a batshit crazy concept that that’s where we’re at with the world.

I know I don’t clean it often enough but I also don’t think that dust should happen after like two days of a deep clean

I’m getting sick of the people on this app being 50yr racist and self centered manager/ceo… that I have to contact :)
Boy do I have some bad news about the workforce for you.
I’m not sure about your field specifically but most companies will have a ‘career’ section on their website. You can usually browse jobs/apply through there.
Your school/teachers might also be able to help you network and get in contact with companies, especially if you make a good impression.
There are also job opportunity aggregators like Indeed, Monster (is monster still a thing?), probably other alternatives in your country.
Good luck!
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 2 days ago:
Yeah, thanks, it sounds like you’re right since people using other brands don’t seem to have this issue. My partner is extremely particular about this brand of TP though so I guess I’m just gonna have to live with it.
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 2 days ago:
I have a bidet with toilet paper to dry off/for guests/for various other uses for toilet paper.
Not near a window and the dust is thicker and primarily builds up below the toilet paper roll. It’s not the same as regular dust build up. I mitigate by placing the bin under the roll but it still gets everywhere.
It’s hard to get a picture but this is the thicker dust on my toilet brush, which sits just next to the bin/toilet. Toilet brush with dust on it

You can’t just leave your ass moist, why aren’t y’all using TP to dry off???

- Comment on How does one become a clown? 3 days ago:
I think the majority of people who spend most of their days bringing joy (comedians) tend to have dark background. Doesn’t surprise me that clowns would equally have some awful shit that pushed them to see the bright side of life more clearly.
- Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct 3 days ago:
Yeah it really depends on what you consider success. For a lot of people, money & power isn’t necessarily the marker for success, and finding meaning and joy in life is more important. And I know that sounds like capitalist “money doesn’t buy you happiness” bs, but striving towards money and power consistently is the most capitalist thing you can do.
I think people who are able to attain a good amount of money to survive and still maintain their morals and find joy, that’s success.

- Comment on It used to be just weird Christians, but now everyone's pretty much on board with burning Harry Potter books. 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t want to give any money to her but I also wouldn’t be opposed to purchasing HP books from a thrift store that donates funds to charity and then burning them just for the sake of removing just a little bit of her legacy from the world.

- Comment on What do you call your mom (Or moms what do your kids call you) 1 week ago:
Mom, mamá or viejita (old lady) when I’m feeling brave. Sometimes when I’m feeling extra brave (and playful), I use her childhood nickname that she hates because it’s funny.
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 1 week ago:
Someone just set off a bomb in front of a politicians office in my province. Not confirmed but fairly certain that was a protest.
Pride turned more into a celebration rather than a protest in recent years with the capitalization of it, but due to recent regression I can imagine it going back to more intense protests in some towns at least now.
Depends where you live but most of the time the government does try to keep even controversial protests pretty light with the excuse of keeping people safe, but there’s always more extreme action that people take, it maybe just doesn’t get shown as a “protest” per se.
- Comment on When voting for judges in elections, how are you supposed to know which are good? (Since none of them publicly express their political opinions, judges are *supposed* to be neutral) 1 week ago:
Is there any chance that the judges can “buy” their survey responses? E.g. if they pay off the people taking the survey? Or is it all totally anonymous?
(I’m not American, just curious)
- Comment on If every minority group came together under the same banner they would be the majority, and rights would be much easier to attain for everyone. 1 week ago:
This is why many people I know have started referring to themselves as members of the “global majority” rather than “minority”.
But also, yeah this is a class war and if the lower classes stopped perpetuating the division that the wealthy/powerful have forced on us, we could make everything better. Eat the rich.

- Comment on What are your approaches to donating? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure where you live, so you may approach it differently.
I’ve been donating for probably 15 years to various charities via regular donations to registered charities. I usually check donation websites to ensure that the charities I’ve picked are spending my money in a way I deem appropriate. This will depend on your country but I use charityintelligence.ca in Canada. Registered charities in Canada are great for donations, because you can claim them in your taxes and get back a significant amount of money on your tax refund. For example, I donate about $1000/year this way and including my donations on my taxes usually increases my tax refund by about $600-700, or at the very least it takes my taxes from owing to even. I can feel more comfortable about spending money on a good cause rather than having to pay money in taxes at the end of the year.
Additionally, I donate to more local causes occasionally (like your artist here) and to artists I enjoy. This doesn’t come with any tax refund usually, but sometimes artists will provide perks for it and at the very least I just know I am supporting someone I enjoy to continue creating things I enjoy.
I know you weren’t fully asking about this, but there are also non-monetary ways to donate that are excellent choices if you find yourself in a more difficult financial situation. You can donate your time (volunteer) as little as a couple of hours per month at local nonprofits/charities/whatever you want to support. You can donate blood or plasma. These are all nice ways to meet people and contribute to big changes in your community.
Good luck on your journey if you decide to continue donating! Don’t feel discouraged, even if others aren’t as generous as you, you’re still making a change in someone’s life.
- Comment on What are your approaches to donating? 2 weeks ago:
This is really cool, thank you. I’ve noticed things like this anecdotally but it’s interesting to see there are actual studies.
- Comment on :-) 2 weeks ago:
The thing that having a child and jackass have in common is that both led to net positives for the people involved. Jackass guys got rich, mothers that like having kids get another kid. The only way it doesn’t make sense is for people who don’t understand that having kids is rewarding for some people.

- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 3 weeks ago:
Don’t even know if I’d call that transracial, that’s just a person who is of one ethnicity but was raised in a different culture than one might expect for someone who looks like them. There’s no “transitioning” happening there.
