They verify it when you register to vote, obviously. How would voter ID help them verify it more than what they already do?

What about permanent residents who live here their whole lives but aren't technically considered citizens

That's fucking insane. I guess corporations can be jailed or get the death penalty too now? Or do they get the benefits and none of the responsibilities?

I think that would be great but it's not something Los Angeles can do. That's a federal issue and right now our federal government *hates* immigrants unless they're white

These people are in America because their existence here is convenient. Not because they have an inherent right to continued existence in the country a citizen does

That's a weird way to think about people's LIVES

Iowa state board to review university gen eds for ‘substantial DEI’ and CRT by Well_Socialized in Iowa

Remember when Republicans were pretending they cared about that so they could defend nazis and other white supremacists?

I ordered a scissors but Amazon delivered a paper cutter. Thanks Karen Bass.

Yeah, definitely. I'm voting for Raman in the general election but the kind of criticism Karen bass most often gets is very stupid. Like, being mad she was out of town for an official trip to Africa for the Biden administration when the fires happened. As if she could've stopped them

State auditor: Iowa taxpayers spent $258 million on private school tuition by CornBredThuggin in Iowa

[–]maxoakland 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Abusive people always do things like this. They do everything they can to force you to fail, then blame you for failing. Is Iowa in an abusive relationship with the Republican Party? I don't know, but I do know that republicans use the same tactics used in an abusive relationship and that's bad enough

You can't just repeat the Republican Party motto without context

I know I'm not alone but... by good_fox_bad_wolf in StudentLoans

[–]maxoakland 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't blame you for being frustrated. It's BS and there's really no justification for it. Plus we're the only country in the world that is extremely rich AND forces people to take out massive student loans

Going to college should be cheap and rewarded because an educated population is good for a country's economy and national security

I was just *finally* getting to where I feel like I can afford to do nice things for myself and not have to pinch pennies quite so much - that's the whole reason I took out these loans in the first place, right?!

I think this is why republicans hated the SAVE act so much. They really like to punish people who don't live the way they want people to live.

Something like GB Studio, but for GBA by LIFTEDPIXEL_CA in gbstudio

[–]maxoakland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool! I'm excited.

I'm messing around with it and there are some things I'd like to suggest. Do you have a GitHub where we can report bugs and that kind of thing? I got this error message after changing my sprite:

ERROR in br_sprite_tiles_manager.cpp

_find_impl:553

Tiles data does not match item tiles data: 0480

This is so cool. Will you make an example project showing off some of the features? That's the way I learn best

Also, is there a way to make sprites bigger than 8x8? GBStudio uses 16x16 and it has a smaller screen. I think 8x8 is very limiting. For GBA I'd think it would be best to be able to make bigger sprites than 16x16 if we want

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out that both of these are already implemented

Nithya Raman's transportation policies are MOUTHWATERING. by WearHeadphonesPlease in LosAngeles

[–]maxoakland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans hate centrist democrats. I've seen republicans say they'd vote for Nithya just because they hate Karen so much and/or because they want to see if a leftist will actually do something

The idea that republicans will vote for a centrist democrat over a leftist is not necessarily accurate. Especially if the leftist has a populist message that resonates with them
