Hey! I’m an election worker! If you ever have an issue like this please tell the people who are working at the polls! I don’t know about other states, as ours got new machines two years ago and we have some of the newest polling machines in the country, but I’m sure that your local polling place will do something about a machine like this.
If you don’t trust the machines to allow you to vote for who you want, you ALWAYS have the right to ask for a paper ballot. If they refuse, get that shit on video and blast them on social media. Election offices HATE having people complain about them on social media. Be sure to specifically get them denying you a paper ballot. PAPER BALLOTS ARE NOT INVALID BALLOTS AND WILL BE COUNTED.
Know your rights, be nice to election workers, be sure to register to vote, and actually get out there and vote!
(Also, if you are willing and able, you should sign up to be an election worker. In the US there is a serious problem with most election workers being Republicans. Most election offices try to have a balance between Democrats, Republicans and Independent, but that’s kind of hard when Republicans are the only ones who sign up. It pays pretty well, and its wayyyy less difficult than most retail jobs. You also can learn so much.)
alien: we’re supposed to be mindless tools but I’m weird
steven: that’s called an emotion and it’s normal
alien: oh my fucking god
this is erasure of
Alien: Your mom fucked us over for the last thousand years Steven: Yeah that sounds about right. Shes dead now. Wanna be friends? Alien: Oh, uh sure i guess
the popularity of GIR always kind of bugged me because while he is entertaining as fuck, he’s also largely a reactive character so there is a limit to what you can have him do. if theres no one else around he’ll most likely just sit and watch tv and eat snacks, which is cute but not necessarily funny
meanwhile, you can put ZIM into literally any situation and it’d be goddamn hilarious. consider:
ZIM accidentally sends the tallest a letter bomb
ZIM tells a random stranger about his day
ZIM builds and launches a missle at the white house, except due to a misunderstanding, he ends up sending it to a random house that is white
ZIM goes to the dmv
the possibilities are endless
zim goes to the DMV is a one shot kill of a sentence
remember that one episode about zim eating waffles?
Please remember that all the natives on this show are played by actual native people, and all the native/Rez jokes are written by native writers and actors and that as someone who grew up very close to a reservation, Jared Keeso has great respect for the Canadian aboriginees
btw, for all the people noticing the girl in the yellow shirt being thirsty: her name is katy, she’s one of the main characters, and she and the actual indigenous woman in the video (tanis) are both openly bisexual
there’s a story in aesop’s fables, i think it is, about a human talking to a satyr or something. The satyr asks why the human is blowing on his hands during a snow storm and he says “to warm up” later inside the satyr asks the human why he’s blowing on the soup and the human says “to cool it down”
and the satyr has had enough and says “well I won’t have a guest that breaths cold air one moment and hot air the next” and tells the human to leave his house
- Haa is hot because your breath is warm from your lungblood
- Hoo is cold because, while the air is still warm, you’re blowing it at a greater pressure by blowing it through a smaller hole, and the effect of the windchill is greater than the effect of the slight warmth in the air
That story always pissed me off, because while people generally interpret it as “don’t be double-tongued” or “avoid those who are inconstant”, my interpretation was “satyrs are FUCKING STUPID”.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
