It appears that cylinder 3 is now locked up, but we can have a couple helpers push your car out. Put it in neutral Karen..

Me as the pit dude, like your oil drain plug is missing, you have no oil, how the fuck did you make it here?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a what in the holy fuck is that?!!!

How fast does it cook in a vacuum?

Well thank goodness I'm not a patient..

The concept of secure boot and the TPM and BitLocker and all that stuff is somewhere between protection against hackers with hands on access to your system, protection against rootkits infecting the boot sector, protecting the average amateur end user from themselves doing something dumb, and keeping you in the Micro$haft ecosystem.

If you're fairly comfortable that none of these should be a significant risk to you, then I'd say disable it and do whatever you want with your own system without all the headaches.

That mold growing on last month's leftovers in the back of the fridge would like to have a word..

Well today I learned, that school board members are elected. I assume you're referring to the US?..

I'm 42 years old and just learned this today. I attempted to run a petition at age 15 for our school of ~1200 students to keep the pizza lunch line, and I got approximately 420 unique signatures.

I still actually have the signatures somewhere in a file drawer in storage. Back when I did this, I asked people where to turn in my petition. Everyone told me to go to the superintendent's office.

But nobody would actually tell me where the fuck that was, nor would anyone take me there ☹️.

I got more than a third of the students to sign my petition, but nobody would tell me where to take it, like what the actual fuck?

They do make nice quiet motorcycles ya know right? Not every motorcycle rider has loud exhaust, they do make quite a few with good mufflers and well balanced quiet engines.

Not every motorcycle rider is a douchebag.

Also, OP's point #1 is not true for all motorcycles, many actually have nice mufflers and well balanced engines that keep them rather quiet.

We're also not supposed to have a felon for president in the first place, he shouldn't have been eligible to even run for office. But here we are, guess you poll workers didn't protest that either huh?

You can't sit and blame people that didn't vote when the poll workers fucking allowed it to happen.

I actually like this answer better hahaha!

Well riddle me this..

Since I haven't had an opportunity to even go through the process of voting, despite trying, waiting for ~2 hours, only to close at 8pm and officers ordered everyone still waiting to leave, I have no experience with the actual process of voting.

So how does the process actually work? From my understanding, unless I'm mistaken, don't people get to vote on numerous positions at once, not just the president?

Like, I'd be looking at the options and be wondering who half or more of the candidates even are, and also not even being sure exactly what the nature of their job is in the bigger picture, not knowing a damn thing about them to make any educated decision.

Also, from my understanding, in my state, if you vote Democrat, you have to vote all Democrats, and if you vote Republican, you have to vote all Republicans. Like what the hell do names and campaign goals even mean if you don't have the option to vote Democrat for one office, but might actually like the campaign goals of a Republican for another office?

It's like what the hell do names even matter, if I'm a registered Democrat voter (which I am), then shouldn't they already know how I'd vote anyways?

If I'm mistaken on any of this, by all means please let me know. Please be willing to educate inexperienced people as to how the voting process even works before giving them shit for not voting after trying, only for everyone still waiting to get sent home.

When the poll workers go home and lock up, what am I supposed to do, break in and turn the machines back on?

The poll workers should have protested, the potential voters couldn't do shit.

Well not with that attitude 😂

You blow the king, obviously.

Um, wasn't that largely Biden's administration?

I didn't have TV from 2016 to 2019.

I didn't have Internet from 2016 to 2021.

Nope. I was effectively completely off grid from 2016 to 2019.
