I live in Tulsa, OK. I've voted blue and my vote hasn't mattered in all the years I've been able to. This would make it actually count for something.

It's not that only big cities count. It means that your vote counts not matter where you live. Land doesn't vote, so why are we assigning votes based on location rather than population, which is actual people?

    Don't cover the windshield. They need to come out in the morning, running behind, and stop to think if they can drive to work with the tagging or stay home because they know they're making the wrong choices in life. That critical analysis in their head should hit hard.

    Looking for sympathy on a history post for fucking an under age girl is a WILD choice. I had no idea who you were and that would've been something I could live without knowing. You're a bitter person because no one likes you. No one likes you because you make bad decisions. "Don't force sex on kids" should be a no-brainer. Yeah, you can see how people call that rape, right?

    Here's a tip, next time don't bring it up. You aren't normalizing it. You will not garner sympathy. I assume you were never prosecuted. Learn from your mistakes.

    I just got a message from a friend in North Carolina that she was going to her rural polling place and the local sheriff had a road block up about a mile from the polling place. They were checking drivers licenses and IDs.

    This is obviously hearsay, but she got a picture of the road block and I encouraged her to post it on Reddit (she isn't aware of lemmy), report it to the local news, and the NC election board.

    EDIT: she did report it to the election board. Her husband is voting later today and he'll see if the road block is still there. I imagine lots of people will report it if it goes all day. Especially after work.

    I had Cox for years. Constant rate hikes. Slow service, and frequent outages. Data caps, lower speeds than advertised. Customer service sucked if you ever had a problem. Then AT&T fiber came to my area with way better speeds, no data cap, and dramatically cheaper. No outages at all so far. And yes the rates go up, but they're still cheaper than Cox and way faster.

    AT&T is a horrible company. Among the worst ISPs around, right up there with Verizon, Frontier, etc. But they're still beating Cox in service and price.

    I wouldn't be lauding Cox's virtues just yet.

    As someone that lives in Tulsa, I have to say I hate Tulsa King. Dude couldn't even stand filming here. It represents nothing of actual Tulsa in any way.

    You wanna see the real Tulsa? Watch The Lowdown on Hulu. Stars Ethan Hawke. It's filmed here , and based on real people and things that really happened. It's an interesting place that doesn't need made up bullshit.

    Metallica had made entire albums with political and/or social messaging. ... And Justice For All, anyone?

    Asking people to be quiet now... That's bullshit.

    Metal is counter culture, and at some point these rich fucks got captured. Probably when they got rich.
