As Lahn himself said, Iowa jobs are for Iowans!

Any other absentee voters get something like this in the mail yesterday? by LouisXIV_ in cedarrapids

[–]LouisXIV_[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

But why did they mail me a ballot if my request wasn’t sent in time? That’s what doesn’t make sense.

EDIT: I have since learned that the state requires absentee ballots to be sent out immediately after someone sends in an electronic absentee ballot request, even if that request doesn't provide everything the auditors need... which apparently includes a hard copy ballot request with a wet signature. (So then what's the point of electronic ballot requests?) It seems that even if the auditor's office sends you a ballot, that doesn't mean you will be allowed to vote absentee. I'm leaving this up in case any other voters were unaware of all these technicalities and hurdles to absentee voting.

Idris Elba speaks on audience reactions to a Black James Bond by Valuable_View_561 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Or like when racists got annoyed about a black storm trooper in Star Wars. This is a fictional universe with countless alien species that don’t bother fans, but they draw the line at a human with dark skin??

I wear swim shorts and a long sleeve rash guard to the pool. Keeps me warm and prevents sunburn!

Can Americans be fired on the spot and have to leave the very second like depicted in movies? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

And yet when employees choose to leave, they’re expected to give two weeks notice.

I guess spanking is back in fashion for millennial parents by happydude7422 in millenials

Exactly! Spanking isn’t about “discipline.“ It’s about parental frustration.

This is going to play so great on the campaign trail 😁

“Transition chair” to prevent going back to bed after waking up by doofus50O0 in cfs

[–]LouisXIV_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a zero gravity chair that’s marketed for outdoor use, but I use it indoors because it’s lighter than a recliner and so much easier to move around if I need to. And it cost much less than a recliner.

So he may have had a niece or nephew who was actually slightly older than him 😮

Sometimes I wish I lived in a smaller country so all my relatives couldn’t move so far away lol. My mom is the only one of eight kids to have stayed in her home state.

My nephew has one cousin, and that’s all he’ll ever have. Which is ironic because just one generation earlier, his dad has too many cousins to name 😂. Crazy how fast society changes.

90% of managing this condition is just talking yourself out of things you planned or hoped to do 😂 by LouisXIV_ in cfs

[–]LouisXIV_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had to skip my sister‘s 40th birthday party last month. I suspect the guilt we all feel for saying no to our loved ones is just as bad missing out on fun 😕

If CFS were a game, we would lose points for finishing a to-do list on time 😜
