What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?
  • In Ohio you have to vote early at the county election board and last I checked it was only open regular business hours. For me that means 30 minute drive in, pay for parking, 30 minute drive home. Waiting until election day I can walk to my piling place in 10 minutes, wait in line for 30-45,then walk home in 10 minutes. For a lot of places it's not as easy as voting on election day.

  • A pediatric doctor on a bike died
  • My idea to address unfit elderly drivers is once you start claiming SS you have to take the physical driving test every 2 years then every year once you turn 80. 69 might not be old for some people but could be debilitating for others.

  • GOP VP Nominee J. D. Vance is an Enemy of Free Markets: The Ohio Senator is one of the Party's leading advocates of protectionism, economic planning, and immigration restrictions.
  • No he's just a prick . He left Ohio as fast as he could then only came back to re establish residency when he wanted to run for office. He was living in California until then. He also way underperformed when he won, expected to win by 15+points but only won by 6 of I'm remembering correctly.

  • I tried to explain ADHD math to someone and they didn't understand at all
  • This is how it is supposed to be taught. Common core has this exact quality of numbers explicitly shield or in primary school curriculum. Numbers are not static objects but the composite of infinite functions that can be used to determine the value in whatever base number system you want. Next time someone says school didn't teach math remind them that the US is something like 30th in the world at math and when the department of education tried to do something about it parents said it was too hard to understand and we just kept falling backwards.

  • Texas Secessionsts win GOP backing for independence vote: 'Major step'
  • The problem with TEXIT is the same with BREXIT and pretty much any libertarian policy in that it expects so many things to stay the same.

    As soon as this happens, assuming the US take direct military action, all the US bases are gone. Same with all defense contractors. Technology companies are gone too, they do not want to go through the headache of working with the US a foreign company. That's Texas Instruments and HP.

    Taxes will skyrocket. They will lose all the US tax subsidies that allow them to have no state income tax and now they need to replace all military personnel and infrastructure.

    They will probably not bottom out but they aren't going to be a world power. They will pretty much be Spain in terms of economy.

  • How Democrats are plotting against Project 2025, the ‘dystopian’ manifesto for Trump’s second term
  • You know how in dystopian stories how it always starts like 50 years after the fascists take power? Project 2025 is the plan to put the fascists into power. It pretty much places trump as dictator by putting into place all the people who will follow through this time.

  • Fat Lip
  • Now it's pretty man stream but at the time they made this video sum 41 were total unknowns. All the people in the video were fans that answered a email from their manager to a fan list and were pretty much just told when and where to show up. The acting was all ad libed. It is one of the most indie music videos that I know of.

  • Libertarians are conservatives who smoke weed.
  • Which pretty much makes it functionally impossible post WW2 with a few super rural exceptions. Even then those locations benefit greatly from government subsidies. I'm thinking of a lot of the Alaska villages that get oil money from the state but even those towns of 200 people in Wyoming have roads and electricity only because of government programs. If you want to be a part of the world in any way shape or form you need some type of government and any government needs taxes to be able to function.
