I thought it was Universal Time Code

I don’t know if this is real, but I want it to be.

Not the EU too… they’ve been passing so many good things I’ve heard about sticking it to corporations.

Looks like they tried for toilet humor.

Could be the thing going on with the first trans woman in… congress? I think? And some right wing lady also in congress(?) calling for a bill or something forcing trans people to use their birth sex bathroom in the house.

… I am new to political crap I probably have a bunch of terms and stuff mixed up but basically first trans woman US government official is being bullied by Republican woman government official that “mEn sHouLdnT bE iN wOmaNs BatHroOms!”

From what I’ve learned, there is a difference when used as an actual apology.

“I’m sorry” (on its own, without being followed by “you feel that way”) is genuine and tells that the speaker is honestly so.

“I apologize” is formal and kind of fake. They’re likely more sorry they were called out rather than sorry for what they were called out for.

What cruel minds brought that toilet setup into existence.

For even more fun: agree. Then elaborate. Lean right on into the insult, flip it into a good thing, or a ‘oh thanks for pointing that out, I’ll reflect on that’ depending on the tupe of insult.

It’s amazing how MAD trolls get when you remain calm and treat ad homenim as either a compliment or means to self-reflect.

Watching them try more and more insults, getting angrier and angrier, until they just give up. It brings me joy!

Al Gore’s loss happened when I was in high school. I couldn’t (or if I could I didn’t know I could) vote at that time, but I distinctly remember hoping for Gore even though I thought Bush had a cooler name (Middle school. Priorities were not great lol)

This is the first I’ve heard about WHY Gore lost. Never looked it up.

So thank you for the small history lesson.

That was n addition to the 2.7 million who had their right to vote silently challenged with the abuse pf an old Jim Crow law, to stop their votes from being counted.

I think Trump wasn’t really making an accusation in 2020. He was making a threat.

Any way to purchase the series instead? I canceled Netflix when they added a subscription tier that shows ads to people who pay.

I don’t want to support a streaming service whose customers are advertisers instead of viewers.

DO IT AGAIN, UNCLE BILLY

I understated the number since I was going off of memory. It’s closer to 2.7 million. So yeah, it COULD have made a difference.

Here’s the shorter video that introduced me to the documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfs2kC0xOmU

I seem to have have understated the number of provisional ballots thrown out. Allegedly it was close to 2.7 million.

This video is how I found out, which led to me sitting down and watching the full story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfs2kC0xOmU

I am a person who really hates getting into politics. It bores and confuses me.

That said, I don’t think this is a good time to lie down and give up.

Every single thing we can do to keep this monster out of control, including a vote recount and finding out if those 2.7 million wrongfully suppressed provisional ballots can be restored. It’s a gross injustice.

Fraud may be the incorrect term in a technical sense, but they did engage in mass targeted vote suppression, especially in swing states.

If we can get word of this EVERYWHERE asap, I really really really hope we can get those suppressed votes counted. If the right people who know what to do see it soon enough

Edit for a Tl;dr of the documentary: Highly influential people used an old Jim Crow law to question the legal right to vote of tens of thousands (I misremembered. It’s allegedly around 2.7 million) of voters. These people were NOT notified, and their votes NOT counted because of this.

This is MAJOR intentional election interference.

That’s implying that fishing is a great activity. That is about as okay as saying it’s okay that people chose not to vote.

I did not state it in a mean way, I simply said it in a way that says please do not encourage animal abuse.

I do not think it’s a good thing to encourage animal abuse, and I don’t think good people should be encouraged to continue normalizing it.

Please don’t ask people to stay silent about cruelty. That’s helps keep it normalized.

Yes, because he can do anything he wants and just declare legal.

There is no punishment for this supervillain. His cult makes sure of that.

The point is that torturing animals is something that we probably shouldn’t recommend.

It is yanking a water animal by their mouth into an environment they cannot breathe. And if memory serves, fish have a lot of nerves in their mouths so that hurts a LOT, and even released ones have a reduced survival rate.

That “fun and wholesome” activity causes a lot of pain and stress to the victims, so it’s kinder to recommend something less cruel. Like birdwatching and photography.

I laughed audibly at this instead of the usual small ‘heh’. This is a good one.

I can only speak for myself, but as someone who before 2020 didn’t care at all to get involved in politics (aka voting), hearing about this literal meme causing real problems for real people all the damn time certainly did get me to vote.

Twice, now. When previously I couldn’t be bothered.

This man is so terrible that he’s gotten me to vote just to do my part in making sure he stays the fuck out of office.
