  • Aye, last year a poll worker started about my license not matching my voting address. I’d heard shenans were to be expected so I plopped my voter registration poll card down and she stfu. The result? I am now trained and going to work the polls. What did I learn in training? She was wrong wrong wrong wrong and what she did was harassment. But you know what? That’s OK, bc now I’m showing up, maybe I’ll get to sit next to her this year and turn her in.







  • I thank you sincerely as a woman in a red state with some blue dots. I’m past raising kids and have a good job, I truly feel I am of more use here for the time being. I’m the only one makng sure several people know that there are differing view points from theirs. With all the cognative dissonance I can stand and a kind delivery, they get a chance to understand what “all these crazy libruls” are on about. I have an Aunt and cousins that live in mtg district, but they’ve been beyond my scope since Obama. I’ve decided on my qualifiers for when I’d leave but I have people here that would need me and that I want to be here for. I guess we’ll all just see right? Cheers

    Egregious is the perfect word, I can only add that the adds are offensively stupid as well, and loud. I’ve been clicking back and forth until the content comes on but now it’s three times at least. I’ll install one of these ad blockers now but the real problem still isn’t solved. I’d love to leave the platform altogether but don’t know of an alternative. I tried PeerTube at one point but that was a dumpster fire , at least at the time I peeked in.

    The other thing I hate about YT is the obvious click baiting the platform does, over the creators wishes. If I’m not clicking on any of the videos, the thumbnail images get weirder and crazier until I just leave the whole mess. Anyone else noticed this? It’s like they are convinced this will gain more engagement and maybe it does but I hate it and feel manipulated and degraded by it.
