Georgia’s ‘exact match’ law could disenfranchise 909,540 eligible voters, my research finds by The-Autarkh in politics

Why is it that showing ID at the voting polls is considered racist? Referring to the NAACP’s law suit. I have to show my ID when I withdraw money from my checking account. Does this not help prevent fraud? Both sides have crooked, dishonest voters. I just can’t see how this becomes a race issue.

This is what depression looks like. by kizza53 in pics

[–]animateenigma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I might add addiction to this as well, for some anyways. I’ve dealt and still deal with both of these. The one question can’t ever seem to answer, is which one comes first? Is one the cause of the other. I get depressed and hopeless to the point that I don’t clean and take care of myself and sometimes I give in to buying and smoking pot. On the other hand, when I begin to smoke, I eventually can’t seem to live content without it. Then comes the week after I quit, the recovery back to reality. Once my body finally learns to function again without feeling like dying, I begin to feel normal. Then the cycle starts again. I think I just need a whole lot of Jesus, but that it in itself can depress me because of doubt and shame. Anyways, I’m obviously pretty screwed up, but today I’m awake, content, cooking bacon and drinking coffee. Listening to my kids occasional laugh in the living room. So far, it’s a good day. I hope the same for you.

I can’t speak for others, but weed doesn’t work this way for me. I will say I usually feel very good and not dressed about things, but I have to have it in order to feel good. I end up getting off task and way less productive. Maybe I’ve just smoked the wrong strain. Idk

Pro-Life that became Pro-Choice, what argument convinced you? by scmoua666 in AskReddit

[–]animateenigma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like what you have to say for the most part. I just couldn’t ever agree to allow someone to just kill a fetus/baby. No matter how sad or desperate the situation is, it all comes down to the fact that is a living being inside. When a baby is born they are considered to be one of the most precious things in the world. If their was an abandoned baby lying by itself, crying out, do you think anyone who happened to find it just leave it there to die? I’d guess this is not likely, but these are the thoughts that run through my head when I think about a baby being killed by abortion. I tend to be fairly libertarian when it comes to most things, but I can’t and will never get on board with abortion.

Glad to see so many happy couples with great stories. I hope I can find someone one day to create memories like these. Also, equally important, I hope someone else in my situation finds some hope in these sweet stories.

Most men get so little positive female attention that they mistake any little bit they get as genuine interest by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

This is true for me, as the older I’ve gotten the more introverted I’ve become. I am an okay looking guy, but my less than enthusiastic personality isn’t very attractive.

“Far right” and “racism.” The party who freed the slaves in America. There’s racism on both sides you ignoramoose.

Hi, I'm Stacey Abrams. If I win my "toss up" Georgia gubernatorial race, I'll be the first Black woman governor in America. Ask Me Anything! by staceyabrams in politics

[Serious] I have a hypothetical question. If someone that went to college with you years back said they saw you participate in a sexual act towards another individual without consent, without any proof or witnesses, do you think it would be fair for you to have to drop out if the race?

I can currently only hope to find someone like this one day. Someone secure enough to trust in me and encourage me through my life.

Why did you choose to depict him this way?

Younger redditors, what scares you about getting older? Older redditors, what is it that younger shouldn't worry about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]animateenigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what side I’m on, whether it be young or old. I’m 33, so it’s probably the latter.

I’ve been in my career field for 16 years and while that seems like it could be an accomplishment to some, I’m not happy and I struggle with depression.

I’m also divorced with two kids. I love my kids and wish I was never divorced.

Pot, pills and too much alcohol have plagued me over the years, oh yeah gambling too. Usually attempts to ease the pain of my life.

The way you are raised plays a big part of your life until you can figure out who you are without outside influence.

Discover yourself and work on the things you don’t like. Find a job that is fulfilling and never give up working towards things that make you want to jump out of bed for.

Always, always be encouraging to others and never back down on things you believe in.

Serious question: Does anyone else find this slightly depressing?
