Just like women vote the same as their husbands? We'll practically double the line length at the polls if we give women the vote, and their votes won't really matter, because it's the same as if their husbands or fathers just voted normally. Not worth the effort.

Not being an ass, it's just that every single argument I've ever seen against lowering the voting age has been almost identical to the arguments used against women voters back in the day. I'm not suggesting you're against women having the vote, just that the arguments are similar, and pointing that out helps to demonstrate why they might not as strong as some would think. Teenagers are also notoriously capable of disagreeing with their parents on political issues. It's sort of a thing with them often enough.

Totally agree about access to voting. Automatic registration at 16, coting day a national holiday, polls should be open for at least a month, with every post office a polling place, and government run bussing to and from polling places, and mandatory paid time off for wt least 1 day in that month. Universal suffrage. Including incarcerated people. Honestly, nothing should be able to interfere with your right to vote. I go back and forth on compulsory voting, but tend to lean towards it. And this is coming from an Anarcho communist, who doesn't generally believe we're ever going to fix things through the ballot box.

Ha! Nice.

Yeah, my buddy's a vegan bee keeper who won't use smokers

Image won't load for me and I desperately want to know what it was lol

I've been daily driving fedora for a few years now, but I never really get deeper into anything than opening Firefox, and a few Gnome extensions. Haha

That makes a lot of sense. I think I'd like to do it, eventually, if for no other reason than I am 33, and I feel like my time to learn this shit is slipping away pretty quickly sometimes, but maybe not for all my important stuff like family pictures. Start small and just make sure i can do it first, once I understand a little more

Still that way when I was a baby in the 90s, and when my niece/nephew were coming up in the early 2000s their mom would smoke while nursing them

I understood some of that! Mostly the things like "a," "the," "and," and other such technical terms. Lol

Is my data more secure on hertzner? I thought self hosting was supposed to be better for that?

Any advice for a near (tech) illiterate newb on what to get? I only recently switched from using a patchwork of like 2 dozen different google drives to store all my stuff to a single nextcloud account through hertzner. But it costs per month, and that's always risky with my finances. Would love to learn how to do it myself, but don't know where to start. If it matters, I got the 5tb plan, and have 5 people on it (self included).

I used to love foamy, but thinking back on it I don't think foamy and I would vibe today...

Thanks!

Who is that character from? It reminds me of foamy the squirrel

I hate gag gifts, they're terrible things produced never to be used, and all the environmental consequences that come with that... But my God, my buddy's birthday was the other day, I wish I could have gotten him this. OMG
