He’s typing in a search bar, quick show him the search option he’s looking for.
Perfect. He typed the next letter that is also the next letter in the option we just showed him so take that option away and show him an option that doesn’t match at all
@MerrillRho44033@DankAndDonuts @SteveJayUSA @Jesse_Brenneman @TimD34661292 And I had to schedule my physical for four months from now because my doctor was booked up until then, and I had to schedule a dermatology appointment for six months from now. We *already* have long wait times. We just pay out the ass for the privilege, too.
@mrmojorising422@shaun_vids Because elections aren't federally controlled. You have 50 different little countries all deciding how they want voting to work, and the leadership of a good chunk of them has a vested interest in making it as difficult as possible.
@Toxoplamsa@agraybee Someone pointed out a while ago that there's an interesting alternate history out there where Kerry wins Ohio in 2004, giving him the EC victory but not the popular vote. Though that also probably involves a McCain-Palin 2008 win because that economic crash was coming regardless.
@Bshepp87@MassachusettsXY@vanillaopinions Except that wasn't how it was designed. The EC was supposed to be more like the College of Cardinals. It was supposed to protect against populist demagogues being able to gain power. Ironically, the system that was meant to stop someone like Trump is what put him in office.
@RedPillMD@do_whats_rite@vanillaopinions There's a weird timeline out there somewhere where Kerry won Ohio in 2004 and thus the Presidency through the EC and lost the popular vote, likely leading to the EC being done away with.
Though that timeline also probably involves a McCain/Palin presidency in '08, so...
@thebadcode@JaneDashley There was another article from someone who writes about scams and fell victim to one but his story was more believable. It involved him being out of town, a declined ATM card, and a bank with shoddy outsourced customer support that led to him giving up more info than he should.
@SJRoadW@newhandledre@JaneDashley We had to draw ~$14,000 in cash for something at work and it involved having to fill out paperwork, call ahead, and even speak with the bank's manager and confirm that we needed this for a legitimate purpose. I know business accounts are somewhat different but like...
@mondaymovieguy @DoctorCriticMan@Dan207678@PunishedBenn The only reason I know it's a musical is because I saw an article about its debut at one of the film festivals. Even then, I wondered if I remembered that article right when I started seeing the trailers for it come out.
@disasterpIan I don’t really remember mine because I was just a kid but my mom said we were in and out in no time. Mine is really bad though. They started doing whatever test it was and were almost immediately like “yeah they’ve got it”
@_briggs___ @jaybosinggs @mikecarroll1974 @DoctorHenryCT @Biedaboo Or, and bear with me on this, we shouldn’t put up extra roadblocks to people’s ability to vote and should, in fact, make it easier for all people to vote, rather than those who can afford it.
@_briggs___ @jaybosinggs @mikecarroll1974 @DoctorHenryCT @Biedaboo And if you can’t spare a day’s pay to take off? What if there are lines and can’t wait more than hour in the morning? If you’re still in line when polls close but have forgotten your document? What if you don’t have a car and rely on public transit?
@_briggs___ @jaybosinggs @mikecarroll1974 @DoctorHenryCT @Biedaboo Nearly half of US states don’t require your employer give you time off to vote. Of those that do, six don’t require it be paid. Most allow only three hours at most. Some (MA) only require it be in the first two hours polls are open.
So no, you really don’t have “all day” to vote
