Sounds like your daughter needs to actually learn how to drive. I made scary mistakes when I was learning but the key was I learned to not make those mistakes. Take the phone out of the equation and let her learn the roads where she’s driving. Teach her to pay attention to her mirrors, what other drivers are doing (and not doing) and anticipate moronic behavior from other motorists.

Did Happy write this?

Just recently filled some prescriptions: was told they’d be $100 each if using insurance, $50 and $75 if not using insurance. Our system is deranged. In the US.

Wretched vore future unlocked.

“I heard on good authority (a lot of good people, quality people told me, sir—they said sir! We, have you heard this yet? you’ll be hearing about. about a lot o f they said “Sir! did you hear about Trump’s tiny peanits?” I said “that can’t be right!” thats not , but they assured me, i dont know, look, a lot of —-I was told by a lot of high quality, sources, uh… but they and crooked Joe Biden and Obiden are going to take it with them to the border. they’re gonna take your jobs and furniture. lot of furniture —-good quality couches are gonna go away and they want to do that to you.” -Trump (deranged ghoul candidate)

Since time immemorial,

What is your purpose, trololo? I’d really like To know.

yeah damnit, I waste my personal time having to watch the damn things. Advertisers should be paying us for the privilege of our attention.

Ah, yes of course, because there can’t be any subtlety to how we feel societal systems be implemented—it must all be all or nothing. Regardless, nothing I posted is blocking people from voting or advocating for actual impediments. I just shared an aside that my personal opinion is that if someone is too stupid to figure out how to vote they probably shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

We’re the oldest democracy in the world and as such are likely the most poorly designed.

How is wanting people to vote a weird opinion?

If someone is so inept that they are incapable of utilizing the internet or otherwise seeking help from a person who they trust, or (shock) reach out to their local authorities to navigate the very simple task of registering to vote then yes, I believe said individual is probably not in a position to cast a meaningful and informed vote. Does that disenfranchise people? Yes. There is a point in which we must draw a line in saying certain individuals are not eligible to participate in this system (which we do all the time; see: minors, felons, etc.)

That being said, my comment is not physically stopping a moron-incapable-of-using-google from registering to vote—further I provided general information on how to do it. I want everyone who can do so to vote.

who’s downvoting and can you explain why?

Just as a PSA, if anyone is concerned about malfeasance in the voter registration process, go to your state of residence’s Secretary of State website or the main State Website. I will not post any links becuase if you can’t navigate the web to find an official website I really don’t think you should be voting—sorry kids, mids and olds.

Your state’s Secretary of State website will have instructions on how to both register to vote and to actually vote. Your state’s official website will also have the same information if your state doesn’t have that office and registration is controlled by some other entity.

We (united states citizens) live in a federation and the reality of that is most elections are handled by local powers so there are some ocassional differences in how voting is administrated, key point—go to your locality’s OFFICIAL websites to find how to register to vote.

It really does matter. There are elections beyond the presidency. Hate your senator? vote, hate your Representative? VOTE. HATE YOUR STATE REPS? FUCKING VOTE? Live in a state where ballot initiatives are a thing??? FUCKING VOTE!!!!

it doesnt cost money. just register and educate yourself on what’s on the ballot and go to the goddamn polls. there are a lot of issues causing problems right now in the US but at least one thing we can do is go to the ballots on election days and vote based on our convictions.

as a functional trilogy the Back to the Future film series is pretty high up there.

search for your state’s Secretary of State website or go to your state’s official website if you are concerned. An official government website will generally have a .gov address or a .state.StateLetterAbriviation.us or some permutation.

But I was lead to believe cat no like banana (ANGERY), cat no banana.

First thing that comes to mind is The Witcher (books), but my interpretation of worst is “its been the worst a book has left me feeling” and I don’t read a lot of books. ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler The most recent was the final bit in the witcher series when Ciri is pushing the boat with her parents corpses out in to the water and being helped by the spirits of everyone who died helping them along the way. I held off crying while reading it on the train home but finally let loose talking about it later with a friend and fellow fan of the series.

I know there’s a lot of post book retconning and hand waving but it’s pretty obvious at the end of The Lady of the Lake that Geralt and Yennefer are not ever going back to the world their daughter lives in and that shit left me pretty emotionally exhausted.

Izutsumi tho?
