so you dont think everyone should vote?
but jury duty can take weeks, voting only takes an afternoon and you can skip work for it
Why do people say more people didnt vote for trump than did?
and why doesn't everybody vote? I don't understand why it isn't mandatory i think everyone should have to, men, women, and children. If you can read the ballot, you should be able to vote. I know my nephew wouldn't have voted for trump and he's 10!
i never said it for sure happened i just was wondering but i dont know what your talking about because the deep state is dead now that trump is draining the swamp but, keep fightin the good fight brother!
Was the election rigged??
At work today I heard a few people say that "they didn't vote for elon" and why does he have so much power and I got to thinking that I haven't actually met anyone who says they did vote for Elon.
I know he wasn't on my ballot, but neither was Nancy Pelosi and I never met anyone who voted for her but shes always in office so i just assumed it was a regional thing, but why are people around me saying stuff about not voting for him but they dont complain about nancy pelosi?
idk something just feels off to me like if i could have voted for him why wasn't he on my ballot?
Did the dems tried to supress his vote just because he's a white guy or was he not in my district or something?
oh yeah right if i stay up tonight its because of my prescription adderall not because i'm scared of the deep state trump just killed it
I dont understand this aren't monarchists our allies? I know for a fact we're allied with France
I mean I don't want them in this country but thats why we're here and europe is over there
the last car she drove was a stick i believe it was a 1990 mazda protege in a blue green color. but i know she had a Camaro at some point too
its a lost art
I guess it's a good think i'm still undiagnosed with ADHD, even though it meansI gotta pay way more to get my adderall
Been to 4 different doctors and they all seem to think I don't have ADHD its nuts
lol yeah right like the IRS would reach out through Lemmy gimme a break
i love that both of these countrys are named for dogs
i dont think we should be annexing the Canadians though. maybe we could just open the borders there and send the canadian border patrol to mexico. I feel like that'd make both sides happy
did you get to keep the meth?
i never trusted the legal system anyway the only difference between a corrupt judge and a good one is how they rule on your case anyway
theyre just taking the guess work out of it for you! its not like they have access to your face book or anything. i feel like now that i paid I don't have to worry about what if I got it wrong and they tell me i owe more. i think giving up a little privacy isn't so bad if it makes life easier, but i can see both sides where it might not be a good thing for some of your data
Just paid my taxes with Itunes Gift Cards!
I feel like my post yesterday spurred some good discussion but i got a lot of down votes which I didn't think you could do in this subreddit and a few people seemed upset whcih was never my intention.
So, I wanted to share some actually good news that's coming out of this administration.
Ever since Elon musk took over the IRS i've been hoping maybe something good would come out of it. I mean who doesn't hate the irs right?
anyway, filling my taxes has always been such a PITA (pain in the ass) and every year I have to pay out a bunch of money to HRblock just to be able to find out if I owed or coudl get a refund, but now that Elon is changing things, it was soo much easier!
In fact, I didn't even have to file anything this year. For the first time ever, I got a nice text message telling me what I owed and with a handy link to pay on line.
I thought that was pretty nifty on its own, but seeing as I don't have a credit card, i thought it might not work for me. Then i noticed the option that I could pay with Itunes Gift Cards, which you can just buy for cash at the local Kroger.
Anyway, I was able to pay my taxes basically in cash this year and I didn't even have to file. Hopefully, streamlining the gov't like they say they're doing will have some other good things come from it!
Has anyone else gotten the IRS text yet?
thats a good point we shouldn't have anyone too powerful to be prosecuted in this country. I don't believe the president should be above the law either.
I don't think it's shallow at all and it doesn't matter if the abortions were few in number as long as people believe it isnt', you can still have leverage on a deal
i hear what you're saying and I don't think you're following my logic here: if there are no abortion clinics, you don't need your guns to prevent them from popping up(even though thats a silly reason for guns). And the pro gun argument i hear all the time is that even if you take the guns away from the good people , the criminals are still gonna get their guns. its the same with abortions! theyll still go to canada or vermont or something but the babies that dont get aborted wont end up getting shot either.
Maybe we could take it further and say just no assault rifles and no late term abortions? I just think more kids in school is a good thing and if babies are born and they dont get shot, that's a win in my book
and i get what youre saying about
have you seen the way the left is trying to silence us and erase our history and our culture
because the same can be said about the right. trans is as much a culture as "being a southerner" or 'gun culture' and the right is trying to erase that culture. it's just another place where we gotta talk to each other and noot just assume checkmate right away
No one is willing to compromise anymore
Hi! I'm new here but i've been lurking around the lemmyworld for a while and as a big advocate of freedom of speech
All i see anymore are people being divided and blaming each other for not acting right but without being willing to change how they act at all. And it breeds so much fear and anamosity that the changes they fight against eventually come about just so one side can spite the other.
Like, people are never going to agree on things and its pretty much always been that way so why don't we learn to agree to disagree.
Someone once said a great deal is one where both parties walk away feeling like they've pulled one over on the other, and a good deal is where both parties walk away feeling like they've been had.
Sometimes compromise isnt' pretty but the way I see it today is that the compromise step has been skipped entirely, so now people are having their rights taken away without getting anything in return where as they could have been making a deal
for instance: the left just lost the right to abortion, which I agree sucks, but the right is just taking that without any reprocussions. It might be too late now but I've always said that if there are certain rights we don't want other people to have its only right to give up a right of your own as a compromise
maybe if we'd compromised before, the left could have worked with the right and made a deal saying somehting like, the left will give up the right to abortion, if the right will give up their guns!
It hits both sides where it hurts, but also no matter what way you look at it both sides are saving lives.
idk just some food for thought :)
