Pretty sure those are illegal in the UK, if you know what I mean 🤭

Yep, I can name a few countries where this insane floor is at about a third: Germany, France, Austria, Romania, United Kingdom

That’s just off the top of my head

There should be term limits

It’s harder to argue for an age limit, because the issue of representation comes up. There are even pensioners’ parties here and there. The Netherlands, for instance, has a party called 50 Plus that represents people 50 and above. It wouldn’t be surprising if those voters wanted to elect someone over 70 to represent them.

It’s also easier to argue for term limits since they’re already in use for the presidency. Maximum age limits are uncommon all around the world

I do understand that this still wouldn’t prevent people like Sleepy Don or Mitch McFrozen from taking office though… But then you look at Bernie Sanders and he’s not sleepy at all. If anything, he’s at the peak of his career. So there’s my conundrum.

EDIT: Maybe it should be like a driver’s licence, where you have to do a medical check-up every few years! You fail it, you lose it. But something like that would be vulnerable to corruption

I live 200km away from Transylvania

Bran Castle has always given me the creeps. Been a few times.

He could work there

I mean… you can still beat someone up, if that helps…

And if you need a bargain, once they’re on the ground you can take their phone

EDIT: Ok, I’ll admit it… this sounds bad. But hear me out. What if we had just one day every year when it’s acceptable to do something like this?

What the fuck? Strom Thurmond was in office at 100 years old? Am I reading this right?

EDIT: “A staunch opponent of civil rights legislation in the 1950s and 1960s, Thurmond completed the longest single-person Senate filibuster, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.”

Would you look at that… He was something of an expert at overstaying his welcome

EDIT 2: Thurmond died from complications of old age in his sleep at 9:45 p.m. on June 26, 2003, at a hospital in his hometown of Edgefield, South Carolina. He was 100 years old. After lying in state in the rotunda of the South Carolina State House in Columbia, his body was carried on a caisson to the First Baptist Church for services, at which then-Senator Joe Biden of Delaware delivered a eulogy,[319] and later to the family burial plot in Willowbrook Cemetery in Edgefield, where he is interred.[320][321] Thurmond died on the same day that the United States Supreme Court handed down its Lawrence v. Texas decision, which legalized gay sex across all U.S. states.[322]

Folks, if you didn’t know this guy, you gotta read his wiki. It’s hilarious. It’s like he lived only to see everything he hated happen before his eyes.

I like the use of the word “inevitably” here

Oh but I can

I do use many tabs

I have entire windows full of tabs

I have two browsers full of windows full of tabs

I’ve been meaning to quit Google Chrome for two years

I can’t

There’s tabs in it

I cleared them at one point but then my Firefox was so full of tabs that I used Chrome for a while

So now it’s full of tabs again

I am a tab hoarder

Also… I could have put these sentences in a paragraph but… I just feel like if I put them on separate lines, they’ll be easier for me to spot when I need them.

I have a serious problem

Sounds like a fun way to clean up!

You’ll find this hilarious

I used bookmarks for a while to bookmark my tabs and save them as text links

But as far as I know you can only do that one window at a time and…

I have so many windows…

This must be so confusing to anyone who doesn’t keep up with US politics

55 is rookie numbers

My Firefox session is so big I sometimes have to restore it manually because clicking Restore Session simply makes my browser crash

No joke. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-restore-browsing-session-backup

I have tabs there that I haven’t seen in a year

I still can’t believe Graham’s sister lost

The GOP got their feelgood story yanked away from them

Remember to clean your phones, folks

Well, I’ll be…

What’s this about Tidal having lax policies on AI? They detect it and you can choose not to see it. Sure, I wish they’d delete it, but I wouldn’t call this “lax”, as far as mainstream goes anyway. How much better are other platforms doing that Tidal is “lax”?

I mean, I used to see some AI stuff on Tidal, rarely, but after they introduced this option to disable AI I have seen zero.

I can’t get Quobuz in my region. Tidal’s about as good as it gets

To add to that: it’d be really neat if being reported for SA didn’t ruin the abuser’s life but instead fixed whatever is wrong with them so that they don’t come out of prison 10 years later and do it again. Some of these people are pathologically dangerous. They go to prison criminals and come out criminals. Some.

They have them in there for years and do barely anything to change them. They just “store them” there and then let them back out for society to deal with them.

That “abolish prisons” policy, I believe by the US dem-socs, doesn’t sound all that bad when you think about all the different ways prison fails us. Some countries have near 50% overall rates of reoffending.

I swear lately there’s a trend of people going absolutely crazy when they lose an election
