You’ve asked women to let you nurse their babies? Many times, no less? I think they’re right to not give you the chance

Ugh, I HATE when women present themselves in ways they like. They should be focused on appealing to ME, a man they aren’t attracted to in the slightest.

It might have been party volunteers here too, not sure as I was the “lowest level” of volunteer…

I think you hit the nail on the head with the amount of polling stations. Politicians of a certain party here really like voter suppression.

I’m not sure if they called it a scrutineer but I used to volunteer at elections (US) and they did the same. The counters would sit at a long table with people watching from both sides. If I remember correctly, everyone had to stay until it was done and there was a sign-in/out sheet.

I understand that there’s more people voting for federal elections but it really didn’t take that long. Polling closed at 7 and the results/physical ballots were delivered to city hall by 10

Because they’re fabulous?

Upper class have pelatons

Nice teardown! I liked the gif inclusion

It’s obvious to us but aside from the Trump-can-do-no-wrong crowd, there’s a lot of oblivious people who just…don’t know.

It’s a situation I have a hard time grappling with as someone who reads the news but I’m regularly introducing people (in-person) to political events. They know about the most recent plane crash or whatever but not that Israel killed another journalist or that Trump sent a legal resident to a concentration camp. It’s wild…but following politics is kind of a hobby. There’s so much going on all the time, you can’t just passively absorb it.

In some ways I resent them but in other ways I’m jealous. Following it like I do has brought me a tiny bit of joy and a whole lot of stress.

There’s a video from 14 years ago I wish I could find again but it was removed for ToS violations (I guess because a kid pukes? I don’t know). It made me really want to start archiving stuff on there

Yeah, it was a minor annoyance but it was a persistent reminder of my hubris lol

I thought screen protectors were useless for me until 2019 when my screen got inexplicably scratched. I must have had a spec of sand in my pocket or something because seemingly out of nowhere I had several thin lines all over.

I’ve had two phones since and both got screen protectors. Those tiny scratches were SO annoying

Sure but with that context, I’d also assume it was sex if I heard a lot of unknown verbs.

“boff” is American slang for sex

I have never heard this term in my entire life so I looked it up and rest easy, it was a slang term for sex…in the 1920s.

All the ducks are swimming in the water!

I’m totally with you on hating cigarettes but pure tobacco smoke doesn’t smell terrible IMO

Never because I can reach left shift with my pinky from basically anywhere on the keyboard
