I don’t know what you mean with ‘something’, but when i started learning english decades ago (as in; no internet) i had a dictionary on my night stand. I only got it when a word was intriguing; when it seemed crucial for the plot; or when it turned up many times and it started to bug me.
Wow, only about 50% vote, that is very low. I did read - quite a while back - that they have all kinds of ridiculous requirements to be able to vote, apparently to prevent black people from voting, if my understanding is correct. As for the Trump voters, your description is just about what i expected. I think this is the case in our european country as well; protest voters who vote for rightwing extremist parties.
Thank you so much for your elaborate reply and the links, which i will read, very much appreciated.
That was a very interesting read, thank you. And i really do hope people will succeed in beating Trump. But honestly, the whole world saw what he did and tried to do and still he apparently has a chance in becoming president again, which makes me wonder what these kind of voters want. Do they really want what Trump wants, or do they see a vote for him as a kind of protest out of anger and frustration?
And seeing this kind of voting system in the US, it doesn’t mean half the country is voting for Trump, i take it?
Thank you for your elaborate reply. It sounds very…disheartening to have such a system in place, both for voters and the people who are members of these other parties.
I don’t think they ever had been fed anything other than bread. They had no idea that i was offering them food. I’ve also never seen anyone feed them something healthy. Honestly, i think most people here have no idea whatsoever that bread is unhealthy and also disrupts the peace and quiet of female ducks; a study showed that ducks were fed so much bread that the males had basically all day to chase females around.
When i learned about bread years ago, i went outside with all the peas and goodies i could find. The ducks approached me, waiting for some bread. I gave them peas and they did not understand what it was and refused to even inspect it. It ended with me giving up, laying it on the ground and retreating. And even then, they did not bother to check…
Thanks for the heads up. It’s not so much moving, as just creating one more account. I think they defederated from threads, so that is not bad :-) And since it’s not my main account (this one is), i have no objections against experimenting admins, generally i like that kind of thing, especially when they would share their views with us.
Thanks for mentioning lemm.ee btw. I heard of it, but now actually took a look at the communities they have, and it seemed interesting enough to create a new account over there Have a nice sunday!
