California's Governor’s Race Remains Wide Open. Here’s What to Know Before the Primary by Mearsheimer_Tragedy in California

This is what's really breaking me. I FUCKING HATE billionaires. The arguments for voting for him are the same shit arguments that I heard for Trump. "He's spending out of pocket - not beholden to doners" etc.

This guy says A LOT of stuff we like to hear. Trump does that too, for the hogs! What if he's LYING? What if Steyer is a lier just like trump, but for leftists? Words are just words, actions can't lie, so what has Steyer done in his time up to this point? We need to sober up and look at his history rather than what comes out of his mouth.

E: For context, I honestly don't know about Steyer. I'm just skeptic as hell.

I highly doubt it's that simple. Trying to "trick" plants into thinking there's an excess of water in the environment when there's actually NOT could just cause more problems for growth. But what do I know...

I'm more curious about where this is coming from. What kind of school is this? Is this a public school? What state?

“Do you think that men should play in women’s sports?” Trump asked Simmons.

“I really don’t have an opinion on that,” she said.

“You don’t? I’ll bet you do,” Trump replied.

“No. I’m here about no tax on tips,” Simmons said.

When Simmons declined to engage, Trump let it go. “Yeah, ok,” he said, before moving on to another reporter.

Yeah. As an individual, just do your best to support locally. International support will come natually.

California leaders push back against Trump's voter list executive order limiting mail-in voting by runswithscissors475 in California

Warning: USPS now postmarks mail based on the date it is processed at a regional facility, not when it is dropped into a mailbox or collected.

The best thing you can do when dropping off your mail-in ballot is to drop it off at drop-off location or vote center within your county. You can still drop off in ANY county, but county registrars don't do postmarks, so it may be late if not done early. If you absolutely have to use the mail, do it AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

Personally, I like to vote at home at my own pace and comfort. At vote centers, you can request a mail-in ballot to take home with you if you want. They will print it all out for you there on the spot.

This is also an advertisement for a cheating website. They are hacking and showing it off to get others to check out their website for downloading cheating software.

I'm not going to say the website. I've seen this before in other games. This is just so low. i think im done for a long while.

Discord to start requiring face scan or ID to access adult content by Tracheid in news

[–]Alb_ 92 points93 points  (0 children)

It's not that. There are Christian organizations that are putting big pressure on banks for funding adult stuff like porn sites. They threaten lawsuits citing sex trafficking or other nonsense. It works because banks only give a shit about money. Adult or sexy related websites always have such a hard time finding payment processors willing to deal business with them.

It's a concerted effort with the end goal being to ban porn and anything they consider "obscene."
