I’m a woman and I was born in the 1990s. I do live in North America though.

Everyone loves Bernie.
But dang it the man is 83. He should be enjoying the last years of his life in retirement. It makes me sad to think he still needs to be working in politics.
He’s as old as Trump, who is already too old for this shit, will be at the end of his term.
Maybe there should be a hard limit at 65 or something for politicians. Both to keep out people in whom dementia is clearly starting to appear and to let old people frickin’ rest.
Oh god. I was so focused on Trump I forgot this dimwit came with him as a package deal.
When people use “different” with a preposition other than “from”. (Different to, different than)
I know it’s not technically wrong, but it just feels so wrong.
Also, when people add a phantom R between two words. “I’m a big fan of cinema ‘r’ and video games.”
Both stem from me not being a native English speaker, I think.
That’s a small thing?
I live in Canada, where eggs need to be refrigerated, and yet I’ve never seen a fridge with an egg holder. I already have an egg holder. The box they came in.
I may be missing something, but why can’t you have the bank account and phone number both in Lebanon?
The kind whose parents watch media that demonizes the Democrats.
In a ranked choice system or other better voting system, yes.
In the current system, voting for anyone but the least bad choice among the two that stand a chance is almost like giving your vote to the one that has the best chances, regardless of your preferences.
Look up the spoiler effect in elections.
Or, CGP Grey has an excellent explanation of the whole thing.
That is not the question. The question is: it’s a binary choice. People should be aware that not voting helps the worst candidate win. Why not vote for the less bad candidate then?
Oh, I meant spermicide creams in place of condoms.
I didn’t know about the spermicide condoms at all.
For real? Amazing. I need to follow the local news more, sheesh.
Omelet composed of >60% frozen vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce.
It doesn’t hold itself together at all and it looks disgusting.
Hmm, maybe there are particular challenges to free medications? Even Quebec’s most left-wing mainstream party, Québec Solidaire, doesn’t quite go as far as free drugs for all, afaik.
Not that the idea doesn’t sound lovely.
Wait, spermicide? The last time I heard of that was in sexual education, where they said not to use that shit because of its really low reliability.
Feels weird that the US government would target that product in particular.
Statistically speaking, Republican party voters are more white, more male, less poor*, less educated, more rural and older than Democrat party voters.
Making an effort to reduce a certain demographic’s ability or willingness to vote will necessarily affect one party more than the other. As an example, if you add hoops to jump through, people who are already at their limit, working a zillion hours a week, are unlikely to do it, while the average retiree will probably not mind.
*It’s complicated. Republican voters tend to be middle/upper-middle income, while Democrat voters tend to be lower/lower-middle income OR high income, leaving the middle for the Republicans.
I’ve got a feeling we’ll see Bush v. Gore style recount shenanigans or worse. Trumpist “stop the steal” people have begun to infiltrate the election process, right?
Windows. Can’t be arsed to deal with Linux.
Get a Nintendo console. Nintendo Games are absolutely a gateway drug. They’re high quality and generally very easy to get into.
