it is known

When she was a teenager, it was hell. But she is old now (14 years and counting). Unless she's trying to shoo me out of bed or something, her ire is entirely focuses on video game controllers and chicklet keyboards.

Normally I'd totally agree because sixers aren't a big deal but there's a certain event happening in the next six hours that makes a probe during this time more punishing than it would be otherwise

Oh thanks this is really usefu-what the gently caress is KY doing??

Also I think the sixer was a bit harsh but on the other hand I understand the mods wanting to make a statement early in the thread, especially as six hours from the post time is right around when poo poo's going to move from speculation and terror to results appearing

Eastern vs. Central time zone. The whole state closes its polls at the same local time. Same with Indiana.

Tennessee is split by the time zone line, but they stagger the closing times so they all close simultaneously. 8PM EST/7PM CST

Regardless, it seems ludicrously early for polls to close. How many people end up being disenfranchised by that alone?

I really want to own cats but can't until my financial situation is a tad more stable but also a friend of mine is allergic and won't want to visit if I have a cat. :(

Like I walk into the pet store and I just so want to house all the cats, they need love. I grew up with like 6 cats at my parents place and its been lonely not having one.

I'm looking into owning an orange tarantula and giving it cat ears to act as a substitute.

FWIW, there are hypoallergenic breeds. But depending on how allergic your friend is, a Claritin might be able to manage things. :shobon:

A lot. Mostly the working poor.

Kentucky does have extensive early voting and for this year had COVID-19 excuse absentee voting. So that does counteract it a bit, but only for those motivated to vote ahead of time. Day of you're pretty much hosed, unless you can sneak in time before your shift.

Heh, Claritin doesn't even help with *my* seasonal allergies, so I don't know how useful it'd be for them. :D

But I'll deffo be taking a look at hypoallergenic breeds. I really want some cats to keep my company and interfere with my computer work. :D

REMIND ME AGAIN HOW THE LITTLE HORSE-SHAPED ONES MOVE?
Swung by beautiful Marcus David-Peters Circle on my way home.




I've been here several times before, but this is the first time I've walked inside the circle. The atmosphere is genuinely different, in the same way you feel it when you walk into a cathedral. The closest thing I've felt before is the Vietnam War Memorial, in the sense that it's immediately sobering.

Cops have the place blocked off to vehicle traffic, but pedestrian and cyclist traffic is unimpeded. Regardless of how this evening goes, I expect the circle to be a focus of celebration and/or rage, and clearly the cops do too.

Just voted, hoping Graham disappears into obscurity. Still lots of unopposed down ballot races for the Republicans though, makes me wish I’d tried for state legislature.
