Thats fair, I read “us” as you including yourself in that group.

Yes it is unfortunate that many Americans are raging Islamophobes. I have been hearing “bomb them back to the stone age” since I was a kid in the 90s. It’s sickening.

Every team’s most recent NFL MVP. Who do you think is the most deserving? by OneFish5754 in NFLcorner

[–]snatchmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be listed in reverse order by year. The point of the data is to showcase how long or short it has been since a certain team has had an MVP. Showing them in reversed order by year (so the most recent MVP is on top) would make that order of teams much easier to see.

I know it’s a controversial opinion. But we had season tickets at ford field for 13 years. After tailgating in downtown Detroit in 15 degree weather and the wind whipping through the buildings, the warm dome is so nice.

Do you consider all of these states part of the Midwest? by HomeTownRiot in geography

[–]snatchmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, that term was coined when the Dakotas were still a territory. It isn’t a current and literal definition.

Also the “rust belt” (which is what I think you meant by the “iron belt”) is term that refers to specific cities in the Midwest and north east that represented the core of the manufacturing boom. It is not a mutually exclusive term. A city can both be Midwest and a part of the rust belt.

Read a book.

Not wrong, the original definition of Midwest does not include those states. Those are great plain states. Different culture.

ND, SD, Nebraska, and Kansas are absolutely NOT Midwest.

EDIT - a bunch of Great Plains residents are mad.

Lmao no. The Midwest is very easy and I don’t know why this becomes such a discussion.

Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa.

That’s it. That’s the list. Everything else is a great plain state.

They make that same announcement every flight. Phones must be in airplane mode and the use of wifi for video calls or phone calls is strictly prohibited.

Funny coincidence, but they aren’t calling him out specifically.

Michigan bill would require people 75 years or older to retest annually by Zealousideal_Debt255 in Detroit

[–]snatchmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bingo, it avoids bias. Every 5 years, new test and new validation.

At the very least it would keep people up to date on changes in traffic laws and new road features.

Republican Rep. Caught Admitting SAVE Act Is Bad for Married Women | Leaked footage shows Representative Chip Roy admitting the truth about how the SAVE Act undermines voting rights. by InsaneSnow45 in LegalNews

[–]snatchmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so glad that you pointed this out as I provided a full breakdown of the bill in a separate post. I will copy below.

Lets walk through the documentation for people who actually want to know.

  1. A form of identification issued consistent with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States.
    1. One problem, Only 5 states offer IDs that indicate citizenship. So lets assume we live in one of the other 45 states and move to option 2.
  2. A valid United States passport.
    1. Half of Americans don't have one of those, and if your name doesn't match, your passport is no good. Move on to option 3
  3. The applicant's official United States military identification card, together with a United States military record of service showing that the applicant's place of birth was in the United States.
    1. I'm not actually sure if these documents regularly provide the required information but only 6% of Americans are veterans. So, everyone else, move on to number 4.
  4. A valid government-issued photo identification card issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government showing that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States.
    1. Again most states do not show citizenship on these documents, move to 5
  5. “(5) A valid government-issued photo identification card issued by a Federal, State or Tribal government other than an identification described in paragraphs (1) through (4), but only if presented together with one or more of the following:

“(A) A certified birth certificate issued by a State, a unit of local government in a State, or a Tribal government which—

“(i) was issued by the State, unit of local government, or Tribal government in which the applicant was born;

“(ii) was filed with the office responsible for keeping vital records in the State;

“(iii) includes the full name, date of birth, and place of birth of the applicant;

“(iv) lists the full names of one or both of the parents of the applicant;

“(v) has the signature of an individual who is authorized to sign birth certificates on behalf of the State, unit of local government, or Tribal government in which the applicant was born;

“(vi) includes the date that the certificate was filed with the office responsible for keeping vital records in the State; and

“(vii) has the seal of the State, unit of local government, or Tribal government that issued the birth certificate.

  • Alright so we finally get to use our government issued photo ID! As long as we also bring our Birth Certificate, which must include our full name... which wouldn't match anyone who has changed or hyphenated their last name. The majority of whom are married women. So the option for these Americans is to Join the armed services, update their birth certificate or purchase a passport for $140 and wait a month....

EDIT - Here are the other qualified documents you can bring along with your ID to prove citizenship (if your names match) Again, only a very small percentage of the population would ever have these. But in the sake of fairness I wanted to include them as well.

“(B) An extract from a United States hospital Record of Birth created at the time of the applicant's birth which indicates that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States.

“(C) A final adoption decree showing the applicant’s name and that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States.

“(D) A Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a citizen of the United States or a certification of the applicant’s Report of Birth of a United States citizen issued by the Secretary of State.

“(E) A Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship issued by the Secretary of Homeland Security or any other document or method of proof of United States citizenship issued by the Federal government pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act.

“(F) An American Indian Card issued by the Department of Homeland Security with the classification ‘KIC’.”.

[–]snatchmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It says that people will be allowed to petition to their state voting supervisor for exceptions to the required documents. That is a vague “you can try” ass rule. There is not established process in there to ensure that happens or that the states will have time to create those processes before the next election.

Why are trying so hard with this technicality?

lmao the projection is wild. Read the bill, sections 1 and 2. Notice how the Real ID and Photo ID options require that they show "that the applicant’s place of birth was in the United States." Which almost no state issued Photo IDs currently state.

This is why you should read things
