I did this for years. I even got into the HOA board just to keep them off my back. It was so freeing to not have to mow.

Demand go up. Price go up.

That's why they trot out Jill Stein every four years to try and split the vote.

Landlords are like ticket scalpers. Buy up a scarce resource, provide no real value, and overcharge.

That too. Faithless electors are a train wreck waiting to happen. some states have laws thankfully, but not all, and that's a huge issue.

No, that's not how our system works.

In our system you never vote FOR anyone. You are always voting AGAINST the worst candidate. That is literally how it is set up. That is the definition of a two party system.

Voting against a worst candidate is not propping up that system. Because one of those candidates is going to win either way due to the electoral college.

If everyone, literally everyone, that was Democrat decided to vote Green, then they'd still lose. Again, electoral college. Nevermind the fact that getting everyone to do it is literally impossible.

No one supports the two party system. We recognize it exists and work within it to change it. But it's designed to not change, so it's hard.

Stomping your feet and voting third party for president is performative at best, disingenuous at worst.

Local elections, vote third party if you want.

Is that bullying? I lost track of the line between facts and harassment.

Afterwards, could you give me a hug and tell me you believe in me?

No. It may be the nature of some subset of people. Those people should die.

Just remember, the show is 7 minutes long. These are highlights of the day, where they spend less than ten minutes focusing on play and pretend.

But yeah, that dog is amazing.

And if I have to pretend one more time that my hand is Shaun the emu, I think I may lose my mind.

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it's polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people's brains.

exercise for us? (lemmy.world)
submitted 8 months ago by surewhynotlem@lemmy.world to c/adhd@lemmy.world

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can't keep at it.

Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

A fine specimen indeed

Are we still keeping up the farce that we don't pick noses? It's 2023, I think we can stop, and just be human.

Now, be clean about it, but just do it.
