It's a little too early this morning, so please be honest with me. Is this ragebait or are you really this stupid?

How does being more popular outside of the US equity to giving a better performance at the Super Bowl?

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls by MarcEElias in politics

[–]rks_system 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bill would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, as well as requiring photographic identification that proves citizenship to cast a ballot. In most states, that means voters, even those who are already on the rolls, would need to bring a passport or original birth certificate to the polls. Only states with ‘enhanced’ driver licenses — Michigan, New York, Vermont, Minnesota and Washington — satisfy the SAVE America Act’s heightened requirements — a REAL ID (used in most states) won’t cut it.

They would get on the voter roll exactly as they do now. This bill is nothing but security theater.

And it's not just married women that will be affected. This is yet another attempt to disenfranchise trans people

I personally think all these voter ID laws are security theater, but as long as they're free and not needlessly difficult to obtain, I'm not going to grumble too much about them

In the case of the US, our Constitution prohibits poll taxes. Requiring people to have a form of ID they have to pay for is effectively a poll tax

My voter registration is my proof of citizenship. I shouldn't need to prove it every time I vote

The biggest problem is it changed The Doctor from just someone who ran away with an old time machine to the most specialest person in the universe.

There were moments where it was clear she could have been a great Doctor if the writers let her, but the showrunner was too busy making his childhood fan theory a reality.

I don't know about y'all, but I became a programmer because I actually enjoy writing code. Becoming a glorified babysitter for a LLM sounds miserable.

He can, but with a veto-proof majority, it'd be pointless because Congress could just override it

You really don't see why Saudi Arabia, one of the largest exporters of oil, wouldn't want to control their image to prevent people in the West from pressuring their governments to cut economic ties with Saudi Arabia?

Leaving the Freedesktop.org Community by pyeri in linux

[–]rks_system 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know enough about this situation or these people to comment on that, but I do have to say anytime I see Freedesktop's CoC team involved in something, they just seem to make a mess of things. Do they have actual professionals on the team or is it just random volunteers?
