This just sounds stressful.

Why not make batch of mulled wine, watch a film, wake up and check Reuters on Wednesday?

The outcome won't differ. What does election coverage offer that is insightful and useful?

No, no I can figure it out from context, but it's cumbersome and makes your thoughts difficult to parse.

You didn't do this, like, at the start of this week, it seems. But, you're absolutely right that it's your right to make yourself more annoying to understand.

Good luck!

Edit: to the point of the post, this is probably illegal since it involves a sort of contract around voting.

Naw.... dude naw....

The whole point of language is to be understood and you're actively fighting that

I don't think you can stop the calls or texts, elections are a product just like everything else here and those are the ads.

They got your info and you can't take it back now

Fishing has been great for me. Gives ya a chance to learn what's around you by researching local waterways and what fish live in em. Then connect with them by studying their habits throughout the year and their diet. You plan your tackle box and rod set up around that and test your studies by trying to catch the dang things. And in the process of that you get some lovely, peaceful scenery and maybe a hike.

It's fairly cheap, too. The fishing gear on Ali Express is damn good for the price and while I can see arguments on spending on a quality rod and reel, I'll tell ya I prefer my $65 Pflueger President spinning reel, but I wouldn't have paid that much if I had used the $12 one I got on Ali Express first. You'll be replacing line, lures and hooks somewhat often when you start anyway so no reason to break the bank.

In the winter months, I do more model building and painting indoors. Gunpla don't have to be expensive and you can go all out on learning new techniques to erase mold lines and seamlessly join parts and that kinda technique learning keeps me engaged. Plus, when you're done, you have something you can put on display. I also give completed kits away to younger relatives when I get tired of it or I wanna try the kit again with new techniques.

As far as fitness, it's not quite a hobby, but I hop on a stationary bike and watch star trek. I fucking love Star Trek!

Sure is.

Your local sandwich shop should do this for ya anyway, if you want one.

Mine does, at least! Had been for a while before Jimmy John's.

They hollow out a big kosher dill and stuff the sandwich fixing in there. It's a pretty fun novelty, but I think I prefer the bread they get from the bakery just up the road.

Support local businesses, Jimmy John's and Subway are but pale imitators and all that jazz.

Absolutely not. There should be better options for Americans, ones that even give a shit about a majority of Americans.

I think that's an incredibly myopic outlook and while Harris isn't going to single handedly fix the myriad of issues that America both faces at home and brings to the globe, it's hyperbolic to pretend that the outcomes will be 100% identical should Trump win versus Harris.

I doubt the outcome for Palestine will change much, but Palestine isn't the only thing the president can affect.

Is it so strange to think that a Trump win would have worse outcomes than a Harris win?

You can't blame em for wanting better and the third choice is a tantalizing offer, but I feel it's not pragmatic to their goals and neglects to recognize the fascist threats of Donald Trump and the RNC.

I despise getting ready in the dark and getting home in the dark. It's harder to fit in a lil fishing after work and I can't wear shorts and crop tops outside on the deck.

Winter stinks!
