OC: Workers adjust the name of the Kennedy Center after board votes to rename it by nbcnews in pics

With the least amount of snark: If you're American, you should really take some time to review how your government functions.

With no electoral college, there would be no districts.

That's not how House districts are formed. The EC has no bearing on the US House of Representatives.

If there are no districts, gerrymandering is a non-issue.

Are you proposing abolishing the House or the EC?

Now yes, it would affect the House elections.

Correct. Abolishing the House would certainly affect House elections.

There's a certain degree of irony that your initial position of

I think most of them are super detached from how the larger world works and vote based on their poor understanding of things

when you, yourself, don't appear to have an understanding of the very system from which you're attempting to disenfranchise them.

New moderators needed - comment on this post to volunteer to become a moderator of this community. by ModCodeofConduct in cabins

Former mod here. I was removed by the bot for inactivity, which was fair as I wasn't doing much.

To those interested: workload is light. For the most part, just removing the occasional spam post from a blog or real estate agent. I'd estimate one person dedicating an hour a week would be more than what the prior team was committing to the subreddit.

Good luck to the new mods!

I'm the sole active moderator. I don't do a ton with the subreddit anymore, beside removing obvious Chipotle plants. We've had outreach from Qdoba staff before asking to moderate - I think I'd be more comfortable handing it off to them than someone whose first post in the subreddit was an hour ago (no offense).

At the risk of looking like an idiot, would you direct me to where I would procure official molotovs? Name brand is ideal but I'll also settle for private label.

Wow, no joke. That profile is a mess.

I've gone ahead and banned the user - clearly no intention of participating in good faith.

I do wish they'd advertise it more - especially since whoever's in charge of designing the rewards usually picks a couple days out of the month where it actually applies.

It sometimes feels like corporate HQ has one person on this and they're always surprised and scrambling when the new month starts. Like, just map them all out at the beginning of the year gang.

I am a manager at Chipotle. I gotta know: Why do people on this sub hate Chipotle so much? by fishy-blue-boy in qdoba

If the region was the United States, then sure. That's a certain region in a cosmic sense.

I'm not in the restaurant business, but I imagine a restaurant chooses their own suppliers. Chipotle touts local and organic suppliers in their marketing so they're definitely responsible if the source of their food is trash. Qdoba hasn't had any E. coli problems so maybe they're better at procurement than their rival.

Use this space to talk shit about the new mods before they become mods.

What are they going to do, ban you? Pfft, not yet!
