My wife has an apple watch, I assumed he was talking about those circles.

For real, I'm going through it all again right now getting ready for the new release in December.

I get you there. There's also an argument for taking the high ground, but I guess the bar is super low given the competition.

Woah wasn't expecting the hate here. Just pointing out that we don't need more division.

Along with the other comment, I'd like to point out that many states are moving towards ranked choice voting, which will supercede the electoral college. The more people participate in voting, the more likely that will become the new way it happens.this would make every vote matter, and stop some votes from mattering more than others. Essentially guaranteeing the popular vote wins the election.

But honestly voting for president, while very hyped, is possibly one of the least important of your voting responsibility. Local laws influence your local area far more than the president, and local changes turn into state changes, and state changes turn into federal ones.

The president can't do anything on their own, they need support from Congress and the Senate to get anything but minor executive orders done (very limited power). People only voting for president is how we got a Republican supermajority in the house.

If you don't vote, but are able to, you lose the right to complain about how things are going. We're all on the same bus, please do your part to make sure we don't drive off a cliff.

I will protect those, who cannot protect themselves

 

Dunno what they are, now they're taking over my trash can. Have one more picture in the comments.

 

Tiniest little bug. I only saw 4 legs, but it probably has more. Adding more pics in the comments, can only upload one. Phone wouldn't really focus on it.

 
 

So religion is a pretty common theme in his books. Stormlight and Elantris (more for the latter) have heavy religious influence.

I'm reading Elantris now, and I can't imagine a man who understands religion as well as he does (based on his writing) believes anything about the TSCC. This thought just came to mind as he's describing how the one dude knows how to manipulate the masses, using their pride and shame to his own ends.

Anywho, just throwing that out there. 🤷

Have a great weekend, and a lovely second Saturday everyone!

 

Super weird, noticed it today on his right foreleg just above the elbow joint. Feels like there's something underneath, and had this chunky white protrusion. Can't find an exact match via Google. Expecting some sort of cyst or maybe a blocked gland?
