Ain’t nobody believing those numbers. They claimed more jobs were created last month than all of last year and the stock market didn’t flinch

They should pay me

I could garbage pick enough furniture to fill that room in a week

Also kids being the first to run into the house and turn on the TV because it had to warm up. You needed to have it up and running before your show came on because if you missed it you weren’t gonna see it until reruns. Now it has occurred to me the term rerun is obsolete

Self discipline is the hard part

Coeliac disease? Does your poop float?

When WALL DRUG did it, it was cool

I got my first “home computer” in the days of the BBS’s when there was such a thing as a “long distance call”. Internet access was crazy expensive and not for the average geek. Back then it was a bit “underground”. There were professionals and there were passionate hobbyists. Most people didn’t have or need a computer in their lives. Things changed in the late 90’s boom. A cultural shift when suddenly everyone joined in. The geeks were no longer king

Fuck this shit

Speak English Or Die by Stormtroopers of Death. Whipped up in a week and recorded using Anthrax’s leftover studio time, this album bridged hardcore and metal. Metallica and Slayer were already popular with some punks but SEOD didn’t take itself seriously and had a DIY vibe

When listening to Bad Moon Rising, instead of “there’s a bad moon on the rise” I hear “there’s the bathroom on the right”

Reminds me of my first house. It was built before plumbing, when they eventually got water, they installed a bathroom under the stairs. The tub was a ceramic half sized one with the claw feet. Eventually I replaced it with a shower. Wish I’d kept the tub, it was unique!

To be fair it’s tough to be proficient in a language you don’t get to use. In some places in the US, there’s plenty of Spanish speaking people. Other than that not so much.

WMD: weapon of mass distraction

Leading up to the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump urged his voters to vote in person while Democrats promoted voting by mail due to Covid pandemic. Steve Bannon was secretly recorded saying that this was the Trump Campaign’s plan to falsely claim the election was stolen. Steve Bannon does not deny saying this. By law, votes can’t be tallied until polls close. Mail in ballots take longer to process because envelopes have to be opened, info needs to be verified then the vote can be counted. In person ballot results are faster because verification has already taken place and in many places ballots are scanned waiting to counted by a machine. Of course this is how it went down.

So to answer your question, Republican voters have a distrust for mail in voting. Largely because a president of the United States told his supporters to vote in person. During a pandemic.
