  • Better yet, help Elián González make it to Florida with his mom. That saga made Democrats lose a lot of votes in Florida in that election.

  • I'm going to guess that those highways between metro areas, especially where speeds like that are even feasible (highest speed limit in the US is 85) are so remote and sparsely traveled that that's not where the deaths are happening.

  • I make those smears with the poop knife

  • That's why I have a poop counter so I can keep track

  • Best case scenario, this was taken to keep birthright citizenship and make other god awful rulings seem more palatable.

  • Jesus, just get a fucking Uber like the rest of us or have a designated driver

  • feasebal

    Well, that's a new one

  • The formerly-blue district around Nashville, yes, that was butchered and extended out to the sticks to get R votes. But in doing so, you also put more blue voters into those red districts. If you push it too much, a big enough blue shift in those now-kinda purple districts can get multiple Dem districts - all when you tried to take away the one.

  • First it was GPUs because crypto, then this. Wonder what useless thing the tech bros will cover up with in a few years!

  • I get what you're saying, but the line I was quoting implied packing voters for your own party into one district, not the opposition. That would achieve the opposite effect.

  • Right, that link illustrates my point: they used to have one blue and two red districts, both very solid. When they split Nashville into pieces, the voter demographics haven't changed so they ended up with 3 red districts, but less so than before.

  • Hey guys, we ignored 49 other states so we had 20 seats flip red, but we won 2 in Tennessee!

  • Overall I agree with what you said, but...

    gerrymandered to be a safe Republican district

    That's not what gerrymandering is/does. People do it to end up with more districts for a party within a state, and they get that by splitting them up such that margins are thinner.

    This is just a typical "in the middle of nowhere" district that makes it so Republican

  • I've got kind of the same thing for my daughter, except that she's so medically complex you basically resign yourself at the beginning of the year to paying $5500/year for the deductible on top of the premiums you're paying no matter what so you might as well get your money's worth.

    To be fair, we've gotten excellent care and I can only think of two denials. Daughter was born 3 months early so that requires a lot of appointments and stuff but she's doing really well now compared to where we were.

  • And THAT, my friends, is how you change things with a Sharpie in this administration

  • Oh no!

    Anyway...

  • A phone you can crumple up like a receipt before you put it in your pocket

  • Like all the Antifas at the Capitol on January 6!

  • It's a very interesting solution, especially when it doesn't have a problem to accompany it, which is most of the time. Often companies are forcing it because others are using it and God forbid they miss out on the fad revolution!

  • Mildly Interesting @lemmy.world

    Saw 3 cars in a row with the same letters on their license plates, one of which was from an entirely different state

    Ender 3 V2 has gap on right side of bed, even with auto-level

    YAML Newbie, stuck on what should be an easy question (using state attributes instead of numeric value)
