A right-wing social media influencer was sentenced to seven months in federal prison on Wednesday for spreading falsehood

Good to know that disenfranchising voters is only 7 months. That’s like the length of a school year.

I think the onion is stealing my thoughts. I had this thought that this is how Republicans could trick people on not voting. Basically going to “those” areas and pretending to be election workers getting people to cast a "ballot” early. And then telling them that they don’t need to show up on election day.

TBF, forgot password workflows often include a second factor authentication (e.g. access to an email address and answering questions).

Your wife might be above average in OPSEC than someone who constantly uses the same password everywhere.

States that require managers to give employees time off to vote include:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Well you see they have nothing to hide so they have nothing to inspect! The Republican states are just trying to save the Federal government money!

These challenges have been filed in bad faith the hopes that the current conservative SCOTUS will hear an emergency appeal and give the presidency to Trump.

When the $1 coins were released, most stuff in vending machines were still within the cost of a dollar. Thought I’m not disagreeing with your comment. Coins, for the most part, are relegated to coin jars and aren’t really “spent” in the same way that bills are.

The problem is that coins generally are just so inconvenient. I only hold onto them for the rare occasion where I need to feed a meter.

Edit: This conversation reminded me of a great YouTube video on the subject of how the shape of money makes it useful

I would pay good money to have Trump be in sort of a Truman Show situation, where he’s Truman and everyone around him are actors.

He gets to be president but inside his little bubble.

He can be a dictator and then have his long lost father make an appearance around sweeps.

We get a sane president.

It’s one of the jobs of a bank though. They are supposed to exchange damaged bills and then exchange them with the mint, who then destroys them.

Honestly we need to get rid of the $1 bill generally but that’s a completely different post all together.

Jesus fuck. I didn’t think about that.

Well now I’m convinced to not vote for Biden! Thank you comrade!

If anything, I’d love a diff of each edit vs the ability to ninja edit

TBF…voter intimidation is likely to be coming from the Republicans. I wouldn’t trust any sort of hotline they post, even if it was in good faith.

Voyager had it’s own “Measure of a Man” episode a la the EMH in Season 7, episode 20 “Author, Author”. A lot of the same themes were there. But what has bothered me for years is at the end of the episode, it’s implied that there is a number of EMH units that have been “reading” the Doctor’s holonovel, and building a resistance.

This was never explored in any future Star Trek, was it? It wasn’t talked about in Picard or Lower Decks. And Picard had the whole AI plot line.

Because of racism.

If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

Dude…He fucking signed into law that fed kids.

If anything, he’s earned it.

Of all the shitting Trump does to immigrants, he signed the bill into law that required giving each naturalized citizen a Glock and an AR-15 upon taking the oath.
