I switched to Linux recently, you can too. It's easy and works well now. No more of this bullshit from Microsoft.

I think it's important to realize that these old stereotypes aren't necessarily as true as they used to be. I started on Bazzite and it was great, but I didn't like immutability so I switched to Garuda. It's an Arch distro and is dead easy and super beginner friendly.

I'm mad, but what? Once we pull out the guillotines there's no going back, so right now I'm hoping that checks and balances thing starts to kick in soon.

Soo. Most government employees have that day off. We protesting at an empty building?

There's a lot in this world that will get you down, but you are wrong about the dog. There's a dog on death row right now that you could save. I guarantee it will be happier with you, even if you aren't perfect. And that dog will probably give you more love than any of us deserves. And that, often helps a little bit.

Go save some poor doggy, maybe they will save you back.

The burp let's you know it's working, and who couldn't benefit from extra hydration?

Funny thing, only betas actually talk like this.

Even if it works exactly like that, let's say you are poor and barely make enough to live, you still have to give 20% (as an example) to the government, even if you are fucked after and can't pay rent or buy food. If you make 20% more than you need, you end up with nothing left after. Rich people may end up paying more, sure, but a flat tax still screws over the poor as a rule unless there is some provision that it only starts after X income, and you know that threshold will always be set too low.

I think that's just the illusion they give us to keep us clinging to the illusion.

We make the choices they offer us. And they have systems in place like the electrical college just in case they need a manual override because things got too democratic.

Well that's idiotic. You can also drop it off in person at any mailbox or any county drop box. If you want to define it by your proximity to where you drop it off instead of by process, we can say it's all in person voting.

And of course I'm arguing semantics, definitions ARE a matter of semantics. Also, I work for the government, you have no idea the number of stupid ambiguous laws we have to navigate every day. We live in a world of semantics.

One of us is an elections official in Washington, it isn't you. King county is having a special election right now, if you are in a participating district, ask them what the difference is between the "in person" ballot and the mail in when you go in. It's the same ballot.

Oh that makes sense, they do have a separate process there to handle all the people that are convinced that there's an in person process, but it's still just a mail in ballot and a county drop box, they just don't have time to try and convince you that you aren't special.
