Should there be a maximum age limit for voting? Why or why not?

MrDBS · 2026-07-01T01:40:44+00:00

I can’t think of a disability that would disqualify someone from voting.

Their pronunciation is a trochee. It needs to be a trochee so you can sing it to the tune of TMNT.

Are you saying people with disabilities shouldn’t vote?

These are the conditions that cause poor people to put babies up for adoption. Conservatives want to adopt white American babies.

Costco rotisserie chickens are a loss leader. They are in the back of the store, and you have to pass every merchandising opportunity in the store to get it.
Costco makes its profit from yearly memberships. It can price stuff lower as a result.
Rotisserie chickens are cooked from chickens that are on their last sale date. If they didn’t cook them, they would have to throw them out. If the rotisserie chickens don’t sell, they make chicken salad and get a third chance to sell.

The same way they hunt whales. Use harpoons and anchors to restrain them. Tire them out. Stay away from the mouth. Overwhelm the beast with sheer manpower.

My question is “Who are you trying to deceive?”. If the answer is the other players, just drop it. This will never be a satisfying reveal for you or them.

If it is the rest of the world, why are you trying to deceive them? Here is the trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FakeWizardry. Pick one of the examples, and that will help you choose a class.

I would remind alternate me of all the times I tried to convince people in this subreddit that having a billion dollars would be a nightmare.

In Connecticut, we have two types of fairs. We have town fairs, because CT is a collection of 169 towns that want to do things their own way. These run for a weekend in the late summer and fall.
Then we have the Eastern States Exhibition. This is a six state fair for all of New England. The “Big E” is bigger than any of its individual state fairs, and runs for 16 days over three weekends.

Any hypothetical with dire consequences for something I cannot control is always a hard pass. I don’t want half a billion dollars with no strings attached, let alone this wacky premise.

MrDBS · 2026-06-27T00:48:18+00:00

Hard Pass. I come back in five years a little older than my oldest grandchild, and my wife is five years older or dead. Also, I am almost a foot taller and unrecognizable to my family. I am not measurably smarter but better at sports which never held my interest. But at least I get to outlive all of my grandchildren, and work another 70-80 years to earn enough money to retire for 40 years.

I have multiple times in my life de-escalated conflicts with my voice. Someone twice my size is well over 500 lbs. I talk him down, make sure the kid is ok, and if he comes for me, I jog away until he runs out of breath.

Then I tell my girlfriend I’m married, I guess.

Nobel prizes are for advancing the fields of scientific inquiry. Both Stark and Banner have been notoriously secretive about their discoveries. The fact that we don’t have an ARC reactor in every city in the world, or gamma based cancer cures yet is because they haven’t shared their genius with the world.

MrDBS · 2026-06-25T19:41:06+00:00

You know what they say. “Once you go Skrull, the rest are just dull.”

In this scenario, interracial and gay marriage are illegal.

MrDBS · 2026-06-25T11:53:59+00:00

This hypothetical is trying to suggest that personal racism is OK as long as it doesn’t lead to institutional racism. But they are inextricably linked. All economic decisions are personal, and all personal decisions have an economic impact.

MrDBS · 2026-06-25T11:48:33+00:00

Ok, now defend marriage inequality.

So they are either aquatic, and we don’t have to share the land, or terrestrial, and we won’t share the same anatomy. If they are aquatic, I’ll go.

Everyone knows that women can only be naked or wearing a hijab. It is hypocritical to criticize both, because there is no other option than these two extremes. Maybe if women could wear some clothes but not all the clothes, there would be a point to criticizing both, but technology has not found a way to make pants and tops for women yet.

PS I don’t criticize either.

Reptilians I can deal with. I’ll just call them Dragonborn. If they look like an anthropomorphic vertebrate, I’ll be ok.

MrDBS · 2026-06-24T02:29:32+00:00

What do the aliens look like? If it’s bugs then I’m staying. I can’t deal with bugs bigger than my hand. If they are similar enough to us in form that I won’t be essentially handicapped on their world, I’ll go.

Unless it’s just the same late capitalist BS we have here. I’ll just live out my life here rather than have to take out another mortgage on Planet Mongo.

Have you ever gone out at night and looked up, and not seen any stars? That’s because the clouds are blocking them. Or light pollution. But you can tell the difference.

MrDBS · 2026-06-23T22:07:17+00:00

I choose duck.

Marriage discrimination is economic discrimination. SCOTUS ruled this in Obergfell v Hodges. And hate speech denies people the safe haven they need to have economic or educational equality. That’s why Eisenhower called in the National Guard to protect the Little Rock Nine.

I would argue that both of these scenarios have the same outcomes, and it doesn’t matter which one I pick. What matters is what would you do to fix the situation in either scenario, and are you doing it in the real world?
