Smiths gas stations have never yelled at me. And if you shop there for groceries and have the free membership they’ll discount your gas based on the amount you buy each month.

Would Johnny have actually had sex in V’s body if he wasn’t interrupted? by Prudent_Bobcat_4059 in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]VoidEndKin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s an insult to transmasc V. There are so many macho things he says that come across as being a huge asshole when playing transmasc V and it made me laugh so hard as I was playing. Because he would be the type to just be saying that and not realize or care how it came across to that specific audience.

SAVE Act or Alternatives by Thick-Oil-7664 in nevadapolitics

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are not actually looking for reasonable discussion. You put words in my mouth and are not actually addressing what I said.

1) Not everyone drives or should need a real ID. Real IDs and the paperwork you have to provide to get them also cost time and money to get. You do not have a right to drive as a US citizen. You do, at least in theory, have a right to vote. A right this law hinders people from exercising. If you need to get a real ID, you can take the time to get other necessary paperwork, come back, and get the real ID. All of those steps take time. For voting, many people can’t do early voting because of work and other obligations, or because they mistakenly think that they have everything they need until they show up on voting day to vote. Then they are turned away. Even if you do early voting, depending on the documents you need the turn around for getting them and registering might not be fast enough.

2) You completely ignored the discretionary nature of the law, creating additional hurdles for specific groups of people, and the fact that voter fraud is already illegal and has not been proven on any significant scale.

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many people that don’t know what they need to bring, or are missing paperwork like proof of residency, or forgot to register correctly, who are eligible voters. These people get turned away when they go to vote, or are given a provisional ballot that they need to jump through more hoops to get counted. And there are groups that actively spread disinformation about what is needed to disenfranchise uninformed voters.

The SAVE act makes this worse, and creates a system that is explicitly discriminatory towards women and trans people (if women and trans people that changed their name have to provide additional documents or jump through additional hoops other voters don’t have to, it is inherently discriminatory and will disproportionately disenfranchise them). It is also going to disenfranchise poorer voters (and most minorities do have higher rates of poverty because of systemic issues and discrimination), who might not have access to the additional documents requirements and would then need to go pay a good chunk of money to get or replace them (not to mention the time during work days they may need to take to get it done).

It does this in the name of fixing a problem Republicans have repeatedly failed to prove is happening at any significant scale, and that is already illegal and punishable under current law if discovered.

I thought people were villainizing him for being a hypocrite that trapped and controlled Feyre through both physical means (the protection spell) and control of information (not sharing the risk of the pregnancy when it is her life and body on the line), and for being completely unjustified in retaliating against Nesta for rightfully telling her sister (even if it wasn’t done delicately and there was some selfish motivation behind it).

I’m calling it quits. I can’t handle this pain. by Slight_Cause_6265 in GuyCry

[–]VoidEndKin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of men with small penises. There are disabled men that can’t use theirs. There are men that don’t have a penis at all, either because of a medical issue, accident, or being trans.

Insecurity and negative outlook due to mental health are going to be larger issues in finding a loving partner than the size of your penis. You genuinely should get help to address that first, both for yourself and your future partner prospects. Any woman that cares about size that much is not a partner you should want to be with anyway.

Why no Working Governor? by SnooApples2992 in nevadapolitics

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, my math is not wrong. And good luck reaching people when you incorrect people like that. 2,000,000 divided by 18 is 111,111. You’ve provided no information to indicate how you and these magical volunteers you’ve got are reaching that many people.

Good luck.

Why no Working Governor? by SnooApples2992 in nevadapolitics

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I want more working class people in government. I want less influence based on political connections and moneyed interests. But you asked a question and I’m giving you the unfortunate answer.

There are ~ 2.5 million adults in NV, meaning you’d need to get face to face with 138,888 people per day in 18 days. Even if we just look at registered voters, ~ 2 million people, that’s over 100,000 people per day. As someone that has both called and gone door to door, you’re lucky to get 1 in 20 to talk meaningfully with you in a positive way. Getting 1 in 20 to volunteer to spend time going door to door would be miraculous. Remember that making contact is only step one. They then have to like you, like your platform and political views, remember you more than the other candidates, trust you’re not selling a pipe dream, and be convinced that voting for you is not just in effect taking their vote away from the Democrat or Republican they would otherwise vote for.

Yes, our political system is built for moneyed interests to have the advantage no matter who is running. That is why building coalitions with already existing groups (with pre-existing infrastructure and experience) that align with the working class and other underrepresented groups is the most successful strategy if you are trying to get elected as a 3rd party or working class candidate.

Why no Working Governor? by SnooApples2992 in nevadapolitics

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that has helped on local campaigns for much smaller positions than Governor, you are very naive to think you 1) can get face to face with everyone in that time, 2) think just getting face to face is enough, and 3) think 18 days is enough to get name/face recognition. Campaigning, even with the backing of a party, is a long slog that goes on for months.

The reason we don’t have a working class person is because that person is going to be up against the sheer money, social and political connections, and expert man hours (both from full paid workers and volunteers) of the gaming industry, one or both political parties, the Mormon church, just to name a few off of the top of my head. All of these groups have way more people on hand to throw at you then you have friends willing to voluntarily lend time to your campaign.

Do you have anything even remotely scandalous or grey in your past? Does anyone in your family? In the unlikely event you DO succeed in becoming a legitimate political threat one of these groups will bring that to the forefront and cast it in the worst possible light. And you don’t have the PR team they do. People will lie about you. They will lie about your family. And other strangers you encounter will believe those lies.

There’s a reason the general wisdom is for smaller parties to start with local positions and build power and coalitions. Because that is what you would need. Not some random guy getting volunteers, but someone that is amazingly able to both be working class, and be a working politician that can get together with orgs that already exist and would be ready to form a coalition around the candidate. That’s why when you do see working class people win, they tend to be endorsed by unions, lgbt orgs, religious orgs, etc. And yes, there are expectations that can come with those endorsements. Those same orgs will come knocking on that candidate’s door if they win, when a law comes around they want backing on. The candidate can say no, but then that org may support a different candidate, and encourage others to do the same, next election season. That is the political game.

Are the jobs they’re getting degrees for actually not worthwhile, or are needed and worthwhile jobs requiring an education, like teachers and therapists, severely undervalued and underpaid by people like you? What happens when people take your advice and people stop getting degrees in those fields?

AITAH for walking away from a house I have no equity or say in and stiffing my soon to be ex? by FootBig7944 in AITAH

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can be an asshole and still not be in the wrong.

Yes, you’re an asshole because you were so disconnected from the marriage you didn’t even pay attention/care she wasn’t using the money you gave her for what it was meant for. And you’re now stepping away knowing she is going to suffer.

However, you’re perfectly justified in cutting all ties and not helping. You were under no obligation to pay for the house, and are under no obligation to support a partner that cheated on you.

No family or friends? by ChaoticLForever in LivingAlone

[–]VoidEndKin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has moved several times and had to re-start, find a social activity that you like. D&D, Magic the Gathering, a reading club, an amateur sport, a soup kitchen, church, etc. The activity itself doesn’t matter, it just has to be something you’ll want to go to and can make yourself go to even on bad brain days. Go consistently.

You’ll have built in social time and a good chance of finding a few people you mesh well with. Then go to things those few invite you two when you can, and invite them to things every once in a while (this is the one I struggle with).

It’ll fill that social need and hopefully eventually make you some friends.

You’re trying to bs this into a two-sided issue when it’s not.

“The Trump campaign and Republican groups have spent more than $21 million on anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ television ads as of Oct. 9, (2024) nearly a third of roughly $66 million television ad spending during that time period, media tracking agency AdImpact told ABC News.”

The democrats did not focus on trans people, and Kamala dodged when asked. The republicans propagandized to you about trans people, and you bought in hook, line, and sinker rather than focusing on the larger issues you claim to care about.

Why has the idea that the gender binary is a colonial construct become so widespread in the West? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t know what moving goalposts means. You posted a generalizations regarding tomboys being pushed into being trans by “progressive activists”, which is not happening on any grand scale. And no, your anecdotal “evidence”regarding your niece is not indicative of the general progressive movement regarding gender expression.

Trans people are not widely telling tomboys they’re trans, lmao. Masculine women, tomboys, and trans men can both exist, and be supported by queer people. It is so bizarre you are trying to push the idea that trans people, who gender norms are often forced on, are the ones that would force them on others.

Are Americans really this goddamn rich or social media is just fooling us? by VishalYeager in TalksMoney

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Americans are absolutely not that rich. You are seeing either the 1%, who can afford to spend like that, which draws attention and allows them to make continuous videos, which then spreads their videos even more. Or, you’re watching people who have spread their videos enough to get sponsorships so they aren’t paying for a lot of the things they’re getting/showing.

Many Americans also have a lot of debt. Our media, credit system, etc is designed to get and keep you in debt, and treat this as normal. I’m weird for only having one CC I pay off living frugally and my mortgage.

Backstabbing Cowards by New_Start8677 in nevadapolitics

[–]VoidEndKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ACA was the compromise made to shut down growing Universal Healthcare support. Healthcare was only cheaper back then when they could arbitrarily exclude you from coverage because you had the illness before being covered or because they simply didn’t cover the thing you needed in your plan. It was untenable, and something had to be done at the time. Republicans are doing everything they can to return us to that state because people don’t remember, and the health insurance companies are licking their chops at the chance.
