FL also has recreational weed and abortion rights on their ballot this election. I’m not necessarily holding my breath, but those could help push their left-leaning voter turnout.

I agree with everything you’re saying, except:

We’re founded under a “1 person, 1 vote” ideology

At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, delegates debated between Congress choosing the next president vs a straight popular vote. The former risked corruption between the legislative and executive branches, and the latter gave too much power to the uneducated, sometimes-mob-esque populous. After several debates, a compromised was reached - electors. These intermediaries wouldn’t be picked by Congress or elected by the people. Instead, the states would each appoint independent electors who would cast the actual ballots for the presidency.

Overall, though some founders agreed with a “1 person, 1 vote” ideology, they were not the majority… unfortunate though that was.

Not that I’m holding my breath, but having it (and legalizing recreational weed) on the ballot could make the Florida election more interesting.

clearly suffering from a mental health episode

It’s horrifying that Trump’s campaign manager would casually make this significant health claim on an official that dared to do his job rather than bow to Trump’s will. Just horrifying.

Furthermore Trump’s staffers verbally assaulted and physically pushed at least one cemetery official when that official tried to bar access into the photography-restricted area.

I was really hoping the second forgiveness plan would automatically include those that were approved for the first plan :/

Exactly. I was going to reply to the original commenter saying, like, you know he’s still got 3 other trials actively in progress right? (Well, 1 of those is indefinitely halted, but still).

The last poll considered in that link occurred on March 2-4. So the results seem outdated in regards to the recent convictions.

Men can criticize modern dating. Any gender can. I’m not saying you can’t. The final frame in this comic portrays strong anger at rejection which is never okay. Sadness? Sure. Disappointment? Understandable. Anger? No. The anger signifies that you feel that the other person owes you something.

I mean, sure, the girl in the comic is super insulting. But obviously what she said wouldn’t happen in real life. Overall, the comic just feels like a mythical scenario (which is completely cool for a comic) that’s embracing toxic nice guy mentality (less cool).

At the risk of overanalyzing a web comic, I feel it’s worth cautioning that this screams toxic nice guy syndrome.

Bloody damn pixie

I appreciate the spirited response, but you’re misunderstanding things.

Arizona, like 14 other states in the U.S., allows its governors to appoint justices to its highest court but gives voters the opportunity to vote them out later on. In Arizona, the initial retention vote takes place two years after justices are appointed. If a justice is not voted out, they will face another retention vote every six years; if they are removed, the current governor is allowed to appoint a new person to the state Supreme Court, albeit from a list provided by a statewide judicial commission.

The previous post was merely attempting to specify how to “vote out” judges facing a retention vote.

If this initiative ended up on the ballot, no way would AZ voters vote for something that would kill their future ability to vote for a president.

AZ State legislature leans red, but not by nearly enough to overdrive their Dem governor’s vetoes.

Actually about 7% of those that have tried it are still alive and well! 😀 (Our current global population represents about 7% of all humans that have ever lived)

Yes, there is NO limit on the number of bankruptcies you can file for. However, there are time limits between filling dates. Here’s what a Forbes article mentions about it:

Just as there are different types of bankruptcy, there are different rules for how often you can file bankruptcy. The waiting period to file another bankruptcy case generally ranges from two to eight years, depending on the type of bankruptcy. In some situations, there may be no waiting period.

However, good luck getting creditors for years after filing for a bankruptcy. I imagine very few will trust you / loan you money, except for the most predatory (i.e. loan sharks). And if you did go with a predatory source, a future bankruptcy may not help you discharge the debt given predatory sources commonly operate outside of the law.

You can update the TVs settings to block these new large video ads. However, Amazon is getting more and more intrusive with its ads. I imagine that, similar to the Alexa Shows that I also use, every few weeks they’ll tweak the ads, making your previous “disable this” settings no longer applicable. It’s technically a new ad type, so they can auto enable it again. Super frustrating.

Largely in response to these new autoplay ads, I replaced my Fire TV with an LG TV. I’ve got another LG TV from only a few years ago that doesn’t really have ads. This one… does. Damn it. Don’t get me wrong, they’re much less in-your-face when compared to Amazon’s ads. But, damn, does everything just have to be ads now?

I love that the printed “24 pack” label on the top right serves as the “24” slot. Great reuse!

Popeyes makes an amazing chicken sandwich! (Assuming that’s what you were getting from Chick-fil-A.) I might even enjoy it more than Chick-fil-A’s.
