This was a great video. The ban on disposable vape can’t come sooner.

Too lazy to research it, but curious if North Dakota sees more people vote because there is no requirement to register, or if they are suppressing votes from people who don’t have a government ID?

Pretty sure all voting security professionals agree that you need a paper trail to verify, in the event of data loss or hacking. Adding an online voting option would be more convenient, but also make it more convenient to foreign interests who want to disrupt the election. The added convenience doesn’t justify the risk.

What a weird commercial. I’ve got so much stuff going on in my life, but my priority should be maintaining the virtual life of my Animal Crossing character?

That was for sure dramatized, and the real woman who lost her baby was very outspoken when the series was released that she didn’t kill her baby. In addition to being inaccurate it also didn’t portray her properly. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/12/23/say-killed-baby-woman-inspired-chernobyl-tv-character-says-abuse/

I would bet that they will restrict the distribution of existing and new vaccines first, and then perform the investigation slowly, wasting money and time, and causing unnecessary harm.

Is this testing process normal or only specific to Indiana? Are the “test” ballots that are used added to the overall count and then subtracted after the fact, is that why he said he “fucked up count”? Or was the intention to steal the ballot to cast during election day?

6 senators and 121 representatives (all Republican) objected to certifying Arizona’s results in the hours after the insurrection at the capitol on Jan 6th. He also has 6 justices on the Supreme Court who have already ruled that he’s above the law. Unfortunately he doesn’t need to be in power if he’s being propped up by those who do.

Exactly, billionaires don’t usually get income the way most people normally do, or are only paid $1/year and instead are given stock. They can then use that as collateral to take out loans, effectively getting millions of dollars in salary without paying income taxes. And then when they die, the principal on their stock resets so their heirs can sell the stock and the gains be next to nothing, meaning they won’t pay taxes on all the gains.

TBH a take home assignment as a .doc file would have been enough for me to pass. Even when going through resumes (for technical roles), i usually skip anything that’s not a PDF.

I was told that i’m gay because my SSN ends with 1369. Ohh and also was told i’m gay because my mother’s maiden name is Gaylord. Where do people come up with these rules???

Your point being that it’s futile to cast a vote for something that won’t come to fruition? Thanks for supporting the original point that voting for a third party candidate is a waste of your vote, and just helps Trump.

You don’t need to vote third party to get Ranked Choice Voting. There are ballot measures this election to introduce ranked choice voting, independent on who you vote for President. You can vote for Harris and RCV if you’re in one of these states:

Oregon

Oregon voters will vote on Measure 117 in November 2024 on whether they will use ranked choice voting general elections for statewide and federal offices (starting in 2028).

The Oregon Legislature passed the reform in 2023, but any change to the state constitution requires referral to the voters before enacting.

Colorado

Proposition 131 will appear on Colorado’s November 2024 ballot. If passed, it would establish an “all-candidate primary” where the top four vote getters move on to a ranked-choice general election.

Idaho

Proposition 1 has been certified to appear on Idaho’s November 2024 ballot. If passed, it would establish an “all-candidate primary” where the top four vote getters move on to a ranked-choice general election.

Nevada

Nevada voters will vote in November 2024 on whether they will use open primaries and ranked choice voting general elections (starting in 2026).

Voters already approved it in 2022, but it needs to pass in two consecutive ballot measures in order to amend the state constitution.

Washington D.C.

Initiative 83 will open up the District’s primary elections to allow voters not registered with a political party to participate (~71,000 people). General elections will use ranked-choice voting where voters can rank up to 5 candidates.

Yet another way the education system has failed that Trump voter: In print, it’s libel.

Scary Movie

Thanks for the heads up, I didn’t have any plans for the next month anyway.

I played the free demo of Factorio for about 10 hours and got hooked. Waited a bit to see if the price would go down, but it didn’t and I didn’t care. Bought it at full price and sunk a few hundred hours into it, which is some of the best entertainment ROI from a cost/hours perspective. It turned out to be a bad ROI from a general life perspective since I didn’t do much else during that time, so be careful to not get too addicted.

That was an excruciating interview to listen to. He started off kinda sounding sane, but as time went on, more of his fringe ideas started showing, culminating to that point.

Not do downplay this issue, but based on the description, OP had a valid session cookie, and was updating their profile to disable MFA since they lost the code. They weren’t brute forcing logging in.

I haven’t looked into the source code, maybe this is an instance by instance configuration, but login attempts are rate limited. After a few failed attempts, I started getting this message:

Lemmy Error: You’re being rate limited, wait a bit before trying that again.
