Weird, in my conservative and high income county it took me literally five minutes at the library.

The system works as intended

[–] ninjabard 15 points 1 month ago

Same. In my conservative and low income county it took me longer to drive to and from the location than it did to actually vote.

How many machete wielding loons accosted you?

[–] Fredselfish 14 points 1 month ago (3 children)

None but took almost an hour to vote. What I was most mad about was that they placed Kamala and Tim 4th on the ballot.

Someone I never heard of. Mark somebody, then Robert Kennedy, Donald Trump the Harris.

I thought RK bowed out, but he's still on the ballot? Odd.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

He didn't file the paperwork soon enough in some states, so he's still on the ballot. He sued at least one state to get himself removed even though he missed the deadline and ballots were already being printed.

Piece of information I found interesting that may apply to your experience https://youtu.be/_-uJl_Db4Rw?si=pKSj5m0OVvRGLy2W

In Oklahoma, the order is actually randomized. Different districts will have the candidates in different orders.

You guys still have a liberry?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's even got books in it and not just computers.

Sounds like something someone trying to get rid of the books so they can turn a library into a big cybercafe would say.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did you even look at the post? Does that look like a "big cybercafe" to you?

Libraries are the only place in this country where everything is free and you can stay as long as you want with no one giving you any shit for it as long as you follow some basic rules.

Go look at my post and then come back here and tell me about how things like a free shower and washer/dryer for homeless people, a commercial level kitchen for anyone to use and a tool library where you can take home power tools you need are a bad thing that shouldn't exist.

No, because Jerboa can't find the post.

And no, that's not a library. That's a community center.

That those have been eradicated is a separate issue from libraries being eliminated as places for readers.

What the fuck are you talking about? It's literally a library.

Do you have a degree in library science or are you just talking out your ass because you don't actually know what a public library is and think it's just a place where you get books even though that's never been true?

Because I'm guessing it's the latter, but feel free to tell me where you got your degree from.
