I’ve posted this elsewhere but I hate this so: A “donation” up front says I’ll see what I can do, money after the fact says I’ll fight for you. Sounds like bribery to me. Not that the current system isn’t but backend feels so much worse

I can’t remember the specifics well enough to state anything as fact, I’m pretty sure we had something on campaign finance that disappeared after voter approval, and I know we had a ballot initiative on minimum wage that they reworked after the fact into something better than many places, but not quite what was voted on. Marijuana felt like they straight manipulated rules and it disappeared with their reasoning being that it technically was more than one rule at once.

Even if my poor explanations aren’t great, I can state as a fact that our voter pool seems to not care at all that their elected officials don’t give two shits about their interests. I know plenty actually do, but our averages voter just looks for the R

And minimum wage laws, and campaign finance laws, we show up to for the ballot measures, but not for the people in office.

Edit: or we’re perfectly happy voting for people that go against our voting interests. It’s horrible either way

One of the dumber parts of this is that, prior to Roe vs Wade being overturned, SD had an abortion ban on the ballot twice since (guessing here) 2006 and voters voted it down both times. Roe v Wade gets overturned and our elected officials immediately enact they’re own rules and now we have to fight for our rights back. I hate that our state still votes for Kristi and others like her, but hopefully we can get a little win bank this year.

I like your idea of reversing the question. On their own I’m not big on sour cream or mayonnaise, but either of them mixed together with the right seasonings or sometimes even together with some seasoning and I can’t get enough. Mayo is nasty, but a garlic aioli? Fricken great. Plain sour cream? A tad on a baked potato is fine, but a chipotle lime crema? I might lick that up off the floor…

Gimmelwald Switzerland, but I’ve been there a few times and the pretense was never being there lol

The vacuum only caused issues sometimes, probably a proximity correlation but I was too young to piece that info together

The random one that I remember and don’t see anywhere, is the tv getting staticky whenever we ran the microwave

Do you think so? I don’t really know much if we dive in that deep, but I have seem some polls side by side with Biden/Trump as the options and Biden/Trump/RFK and they seem to me like Biden loses more support than Trump when RFK is included.

Edit for source, although I don’t know enough about stats to support any of my opinions, but I assume I see two different polls that I assume count the same respondents and both look to me like RFK pulled more from Biden than Trump

I tried this line on my wife and now I’m sleeping on the couch…

I have a semi rule with trends like this (cause I did get tired of the jeans already). I watch the usernames and if I see is consistently one out two posters I’ll just block them, but in this scenario it’s a whole bunch so I just say, I must be getting old and move on lol

My issue is I want to complete all the side quests but don’t want to save them till the end so I try to mix them in as I go, slowly start to lose interest in the game and even tho I put in 150 plus hours I never finish the main story line…

I am going to guess you are not American. Our system is kind of fucked I’ll admit, but at the moment it appears our options will be Biden or Trump. Knowing what you know who would you vote for? In our current system a third party vote used to be the signal of “our two party system sucks.” But in the present world it feels like we’re stuck with either meet and the middle and hope or burn it all to the ground.

Nearly all of my porn viewing is scientific in nature so I guess is still be okay…

But the differences are slight. Maybe won’t go as far down the oppression of women rabbit hole, but not for lack of trying. Merely because, I hope, our society is to far past that for them to drag us back that far.

r/nba. Wish the conversations would find their way here, but for now it’s way more engaging on reddit

Kongregate is still a thing? I thought the move away from flash games killed the names of my youth but I suppose they transitioned somewhere

Does North Dakota have as many religious "pro-life" nuts as SD? I find here that most the ppl against abortion rights were women, so ours possible ND GOP is worried they might lose access to their pro-life gravy train. One issue voters drive me absolutely nuts

I assume the quiz was just a portion of the total grade. Scalping some points you don't deserve is still a win.
