Yeah I’m in Texas and my spam filter looks just like OPs and others who have posted in this thread.

Im starting to think this is a general American issue and not a swing state-vs-solid state issue

Less than mid troll 🥱

Yes, my husband was on the suspended list in our county for years, despite us owning the same home since 2013. He’d even fill out the little address verification card and send it back, stating that the location on record was still valid. Didnt matter, because every single election he would still pop up “suspended” at the polls. He had his TDL, and he’d have to fill out an extra form, but he’d be allowed to vote.

This year, I decided enough was enough and we put our house up for sale, because once I leave Texas this time, I’m not coming back.

I contacted our county registrars office to get our VUIDs so I could update our new address at our rental, and we found out he just…didnt have a VUID? They had no record of him voting in Texas at all…yet he’s been able to vote with a “suspended” status with his TDL for years now…living at an address he hasnt deviated from since he originally registered in Texas.

Honestly, I think he was just finally removed since he’d been in “suspended” so long 🤷‍♀️. Im unsure if it was a legit mistake, or if some genuine fuckery was going on.

But we’re all gucci now. Both confirmed registration again back in September. Awaiting 21 Oct with bated breath!

LMAO what is this from? It looks hilarious!

For me it was Cocktail. I was a latch key kid, and sometimes you just got bored and hunted around your parents shit.

Turns out 11 year old me was REALLY interested in watching a shirtless Tom Cruise throw around bottles of alcohol in a tropical paradise.

Every few months, when the topic of obscure childhood bs comes up in conversation, my husband will always ask about my “made up dinosaur rock band show” from when I was a child.

I’ve asked so many people in my life, from different areas around the US, varying ages, etc, and only on the internet do I have proof that Denver the Last Dinosaur wasnt a fever dream. 😂

Thank you for my quarterly validation.

(Woman over 30 here) I caucused for Bernie in Nevada in 2020, and he won the state my dude. He also won Iowa, New Hampshire, California, and Colorado before dropping out. Where do you think our love for Bernie is “over inflated”? He had support amongst the people.

Wuthering Waves is Hella good. Technically it’s an open world gacha game, but I played through all the storyline (the developers will be forever updating the story a la Genshin Impact), and I never spent a dime on it.

Also, I have spent money on Cooking Diary. However, I went about 3 months of daily play before I did, and it was more about me being impatient/telling myself “You got 3 months of daily play, you can drop the devs $4.99”. I’ve played that game just about daily since Memorial Day 2023, and I’ve dropped $5.00 quarterly. There are regularly moments of infinite lives that exceed an hour or two, that it genuinely isn’t necessary. I spend the money more as a “thanks for not making this ducking game contingent on microtransactions, making it good, and maintaining/update it.”

She was a stray we picked up back in 2016, and all of these 8 years later, I’ve never gotten a blep pic! Meanwhile, two days with the boarder…

I will pass along that you think she’s a good girl! (I in fact refer to her as a terror constantly)

That…is the cutest cotton ball I’ve ever seen. Homigod.

Omg I love her! She’s so cute! Thank you for taking care of her!!!

You really want your dollars going to support a country that legitimately treats women and young girls as brood mares?

I like mountains too, but I can see them in countries that don’t do that.

I don’t know why you’re being down voted. Sure, it’s unfortunately been happening for a while, but we’re just supposed to keep quiet about it and let it go?

I’m sorry, putting my face on a naked body that’s not mine is one thing, but I really do fear for the people whose likeness gets used in some degrading/depraved porn and it’s actually believable because it’s AI generated. That is SO much worse/psychologically damaging if they find out about it.

Glad Im not the only one who went “Wait, it’s just fucking water?!”

That planner knew what they were doing

Cookie is adorably plotting his reign of chaos and destruction.

I’m honestly kind of shocked at this. I know for our annual evaluations this year, people were using ChatGPT to write their statements.

I thought for sure someone with a secret squirrel type job was going to use it for that innocuous purpose, end up inputting top secret information, and then the DoD would ban the practice completely.

Ugh, I cannot say enough good things about that game! Top notch story!

I went into it completely blind, but even if you’ve seen some game play, there are so many choices and endings that you’ll end up surprised no matter what! Everyone that I’ve gushed about it to gushed back if they’ve played it already!

Suuuuper late to the game, but a few weeks ago my husband talked me into playing Detroit: Become Human (I shy away from Sci Fi games so I knew nothing about it/was hesitant to play).

Holy shit. That may have been some of the best fucking writing I’ve ever seen in a game.

It also got me really turned on to those butterfly effect/QTE games! I finished Little Hope by the Dark Pictures Anthology in one night (last Friday), and I’m in the middle of Man of Medan right now. The writing isn’t as good, but they’re still Hella fun and quirky!

If anyone else has any reccs for the Butterfly effect/QTE style games, I’m mad obsessed enough and will most definitely play it!
