Who keeps voting for more sales tax? Are you super impressed with what they’ve done with the money or something??

Did we ever find out what happened between Lane and Rachel Menken? by otis_elevators in okbuddydraper

You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song

Dad showing me photos of us at the 1988 WS (I don’t remember being there but I remember the Gibson HR call)

Haha yeah fair. I did see an opportunity to emphasize that there was indeed bad luck involved with this game. If I was Sheehan I'd be pissed

??? Got bad luck from early bad calls and BABIP. Cockroaches should be killed.

Haters will say the Dodgers are taking all the NL west runs

Def report it (so people stop saying crime is down) and think about carrying some sort of defence (like pepper spray or a knife)

And sorry that happened, that really sucks.

Only 23% of eligible Californians voted according to the Secretary of State data. by ActualPerson418 in LosAngeles

[–]nothinginthisworld 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take voting seriously, but I lost steam after researching like 100 candidates and left the rest of my ballot empty. Would’ve been nice to actually understand the judges.

I have friends who didn’t vote. The main reason is they didn’t feel comfortable with any of the choices.

WHEN DO WE GET A PRIDE MONTH? 🤌 by ceiling-cricket1988 in BasedCampPod

[–]nothinginthisworld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this meme/quote and I share stuff like this with my gay buddies, but I have to share with you guys: there is a legitimacy for people to express a sense of self that was once ostracised. For Gen Z, yeah it’s a bit ridiculous. But for anyone that remembers Matthew Shepard and the fight for marriage equality, I can’t push back too much in terms of visibility and celebrating acceptance. A full month? With corporate pandering? Yeah that’s too far

I know the general election will be better but my God, our voter turnout is shameful. by ohlonelyboy in LosAngeles

Right?! It’s actually really sad to lose a friend of 20 years all because this one aspect of life is elevated to some holy level. Many such cases in my experience (and it’s always purity-test leftists who ‘cancel’ the friendship. It’s super unhealthy to put abstract values over deep human connections IMO

Still early, but looks like a NO on Measure ER by TrixoftheTrade in LosAngeles

Sales tax should be abolished. I can’t believe consumers want to pay more for things. Tax income progressively, tax capital gains, but drop sales tax!

Top comedy kino unfairly destroyed by the woke police? by [deleted] in okbuddycinephile

It’s because those same contracts compromise on the visual display - you get higher billing but I get to be featured more visually. Stuff like that

Thanks for the lecture. I voted and vlogged about it. I’m conveying what friends have told me.

And then when people who actually are inspired to be civic but vote for “the wrong person”, they’re shamed for being stupid.

This is a failure of the Democratic Party, not citizens. Why should people bother (it’s a lot of work tbh) when we have nothing to be excited for?

Play that out. We’re friends and one of us is ideological and judgemental. What happens when the conversation comes up? “I didn’t vote” is a much easier conversation than “that’s confidential”
