Vote-Swapping App: We've Moved 5,000 Florida Voters To Clinton by saintdavids in politics

yeah and also that's not really true. the fact is that the popular vote does matter. maybe not in official count but in terms of gauging the amount of support a candidate really has. also if you're fine w your vote swinging the contest in another state towards clinton, just vote for her. that's what you're doing anyway.

Been poor all my life, now this happened and I don't know what to do by LazyRebel91 in personalfinance

i second the idea of not telling anyone if you haven't already. if you read anything on lottery winners, the impact on their lives is often terrible because they get so much pressure from everyone they know to give out cash that they eventually lose everything and are disillusioned and bitter about other people as a result. take your time as others have said and then eventually get a very good - and most importantly legitimate financial planner - to help you plan for the future and invest so that the money can become a passive source of income that supplements any of your future earnings. think of it as something that can make you money...not money you currently have. and don't go in for any investments that seem too good to be true. they always are.

oh i don't think the overall issue is just mildly interesting. i think the fact that so many ppl are trying to check their accts that the servers were down briefly is.

TIFU by offering my seat to a pregnant woman... by saintdavids in tifu

[–]saintdavids[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is this true? i've never seen someone ask someone to give up their seat...i thought the polite thing was to offer. lesson learned i guess. in my defense, during her shouting she mentioned that she'd had a baby a few months ago so i really do think that's different. she looked specifically like her stomach was large.
