If a black* person hands in a letter to guarantee that it’s received on time, and the worker is racist and believes it a tax form, they could just leave it for a few days/weeks before processing to guarantee that it’s late.
*Replace with any marginalised group or person. It could even include you.
Some of the voter suppression involved having a single voting place for a large area, and closing it at 5pm even though there was a very long line of people still waiting to vote.
If you can’t guarantee your postal vote will be counted, and you can’t guarantee that you’ll get into a voting booth, what do you do?
I agree with the sentiment of voting however you can. It’s one of the few ways that people get to decide how the country is run. I’m just angry that this right is being gradually taken away.
That is also assuming the lights are not recessed into the ceiling.
And the even more egregious assumption that you could even reach the lightbulb.
I said I’d return it in a week or 2 and I will. There’s no need to remind me every year.
I prefer mm/yy/dd or 2013.158904109.
For Android, F-Droid provides only open source apps. It also has a section for downloading other stores.
Written on a window: “Please use door ->”.
The window only goes down to waist height, it doesn’t even look like a door. I really want to know the story behind that sign.
I don’t think there ever was such a time. I suspect that you (like me) just didn’t need things to work as a child, so didn’t notice when things didn’t.
There are some very old complaints of things not working.
€120M compared to his promised $700B (€600B) bonus is 0.02% or (assuming 365 days per year, 12 hours per day) is equivalent to 56 minutes of work.
It has about the same disincentive as a $7 fine for a minimum wage worker.
This is only considering the bonus and ignoring any income on top of that. He can afford it without even thinking.
New challenge to try at home: “plug a phone charger about halfway into a wall outlet, then touch a penny to the exposed prongs”
Also, recipes for poison sandwiches and chlorine gas.
People get treated for hoarding junk, but not for hoarding money.
With bi-polar disorder, primarily depressive people will get treated, but primarily manic often won’t. When was the last time you went to the doctor and said “I’m feeling too good today. Life feels great even though it shouldn’t, and I want medication to feel worse”? *
When a mental illness causes people to be successful, it’s rarely treated because it’s only harming other people and not them.
* This example is an oversimplification and ignores the many real issues caused by manic episodes.
How could anyone get $1,000,000,000 and think “I really need that another 700 times this year”?
That’s
I don’t think I could spend over a million dollars a minute for an entire year.
I never play PvP (skill issue).
I will always cheat, but only by making the mods myself. I often find that I learn more about the game and have more fun modding than actually playing. For PvE, I make sure that everyone is aware of my mods and OK with them, or I turn off the mods they don’t like.
I am not OK with ruining other peoples fun. I’ve even permanently deleted a mod which could cause issues in the wrong hands, because my hands were definitely the wrong hands. I’m still sad, but everyone else in that game is better off.
Everyone has fun in their own way. If a game is not fun for you, sometimes the right mods or cheats can make it fun. If no one else is harmed, then you’re playing it right.
That is a strawman argument. I did not say that, and it is not relevant to what I did say.
anyone has a fair shot
Try talking to a person who grew up in a primarily black neighbourhood in America. Or a poor person who had to skip school so they could work to afford food.
Almost every rich person now had rich parents and rich grandparents. Even the “self-made” rich people had access to opportunities not available to poor people.
It’s easy to risk everything to try starting your own business when failure means going back to your parents for food and housing. It’s so much harder to justify trying when failure means starving on the street, and not trying means continuing to live in a house.
Capitalism does not give people a fair shot. It takes wealth from people with capital to give to people with capital, and by necessity, oppresses people to stop them from gaining capital.
The vast majority of people simply do not have a fair shot.
I’ve had migraines and anxiety, but not often at the same time. From personal experience, they aren’t usually related. I have had a panic attack that felt exactly like a heart attack though, so I know that anxiety can cause many physical side effects.
I’d recommend getting medical advice even if it’s just for the headaches. There may be anxiety involved, but I don’t think it’s just anxiety.
If it is just anxiety, then you’ll be able to relax more easily knowing that there is nothing physical to worry about.
