Early voting is consolidated into fewer locations than the voting precincts on Election Day.
What you do is you vote for the lesser evil for president now, and then you vote for people who are actually good in local races in hopes of building a base of support for better presidential choices (and replacing first-past-the-post) later. At least, that's what you do if you're actually operating in good faith and aren't a pro-fascist troll.
Now quit whining about it, 'cause that doesn't actually do any fucking good.
Man, fuck that judge!
(Read it once as an expression of derision, then again as literal advice.)
And back in the day photography wasn't a thing.
They could construct a camera obscura and trace it, though.
Oh shit, I forgot about that. Myst was the crowning achievement of HyperCard (which is still superior to PowerPoint, BTW).
LOL, that quicktime butterfly animation on the main island was hot shit back then.
TIL Firefly is part of the Phalanxverse.
Considering that this is goofy enough to be a parody, it's fair game now.

You weren't misgendering; you were meming. Modifying one part of "the man, the myth, the X" to adapt it to the situation is fine and good, but when you start swapping out too much of it ("the X, the myth, the Y" -- or worse, "the X, the Y, the Z") you lose the reference.

This store just opened up a few months back, and they had zero bike parking.

From the Saporta Report:
Hurricane Helene rocked the Southeast in late September, bringing devastation to parts of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and more. The storm, a Category 4 at its peak, arrived in Georgia on Friday night and affected almost every part of the state. Gov. Brian Kemp has called the damage left by the storm “unprecedented.” Georgia cities […]

It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.
In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.
It's probably one of the reasons they're so Hell-bent on it, come to think of it.
