intensely_human, to asklemmy in Why is Australia the only "core anglosphere" country where voting is mandatory?

Voting quality doesn’t improve with greater turnout. There’s a duty here, if we declare it to be such, but it yields no benefit.

If their civid duty requires them to sacrifice their health, the civic duty is misconstrued.

But at least with volunteer voting, you get some correlation between someone being informed and their likelihood of voting.

Yeah I hate the fact that one party’s strategy is actively invalidating votes for one of the candidates.

If a person is too tired to vote that means resting is more important to them than voting. Forcing that person to vote is invalidating their own prioritization.

Is that what the republicans you’ve asked have said?

intensely_human, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion

One of my favorite fourth wall breaks is in Trailer Park Boys when Bubbles randomly ends up on Jimmy Kimmel and then Snoop and Tom Arnold show up, and Tom Arnold’s a fan of the show and his mind is blown that he’s actually there.

intensely_human, to asklemmy in What are some generational differences between millennials and Gen Z ?

Even the clumsiest millennials have a level of body awareness that’s rare in gen z-ers, because we grew up in dangerous physical environments.

Yeah but I just overinterpreted Leg’s use of the word hate there too. Unfair of me

intensely_human, to asklemmy in What sci-fi-esque inventions are the most plausible and could happen soonest?

How often does this happen?

Perhaps everything we do is the preamble to some future dingbat’s wish. Maybe all of history is unavoidably conspiring to lead to a truck of cash toppling over in front of him, after which point we’ll all blink and look around, dazed, unsure what to do.

intensely_human, to memes in EDIT: I THINK I STAND CORRECTED

How would you even weigh an infinite number of dollar bills? You’d need an infinite number of assistants to load the dollar bills onto the scale for you, and months to actually do it!

intensely_human, to memes in EDIT: I THINK I STAND CORRECTED

Yeah I sell cabinets and sometimes people are like “How much would a 24 inch cabinet cost?”

It could cost anything!

Then there are customers like “It’s the same if I just order them online right?” and I say “I wouldn’t recommend it. There’s a lot of little details to figure out and our systems can be error probe anyway…” then a month later I’m dealing with an angry customer who ordered their stuff online and is now mad at me for stuff going wrong.

A sad story that is used to sway other’s opinion of your actions is a “sob story”.
