yup, it's a ballot paper with no clear indication of a vote so it counts as spoiled. I could have just not turned up obviously, or I could have ticked every box and submitted that, drawn a cock in each box, wrote "gently caress YOU ALL, YOU loving FUCKS" across the slip but a completely blank ballot does the same job and just officially registers my displeasure with the current political climate without having to subject a teller to reading it
I still vividly remember the LIZARD PEOPLE ballot from 2008. I've always wondered if I voted normally in the general election but then when it got down to far downballot races if I could put LIZARD PEOPLE and have my up ballot votes counted or if it would spoil the whole ballot.

Full time DJ and an RN in NYC? Budget is 600k

I used to know a guy who was at columbine when it happened. You can see him fleeing with his hands up in one of those shots. He was like “yeah that’s me in the Ed mccaffrey jersey.”

He swears there was a third gunman that was covered up by police. He’d been to a therapist and was aware thinking there were more shooters/explosions is a very normal thing for survivors but he couldn’t get over it.

would 600k in NYC even get you a shoebox?

Latest info is 14 year old with a long gun was going to do the thing but couldn't make entry due to lockdown procedures and was taken out by a school resource officer.

A few years back I went to pick up a napsack and saw their site had been torpedoed. Maybe someone bought it out and resurrected it, but I’m glad to see it.

House Hunters is far and away the biggest bullshit on HGTV. They are notorious for bending reality. They also don't want rents or mortgages to seem too high so regular folks in Oklahoma will watch.

You should not believe the amounts in any way. Just enjoy the dopamine you get about escaping wherever you are stuck, even if it's in NYC

A reddit comment(grain of salt required) claiming to be a classmate said the kid was upset about being ignored by his crush and had been doing a lot of weird poo poo online and in person in the previous few days.

Yeah maybe I don’t want kids.

I had a coworker who was all excited to get an ar-15 because he was convinced the sale would be banned soon. Normalish dude otherwise, but gun-worshipping. Just another problem to throw on the gigantic pile of poo poo That Probably Isn’t Going Away Anytime Soon.

I like Love it or list it fine, because it’s easy watching background noise. House Hunters drives me nuts because most of the clients are impossible to please with weird demands.

Yes I know it’s all fake, can they just show us how to fix things again?
