I'd never heard of this, how do the banks make any money on the card, annual fees or something?

Galilean satellite Io mention

Yeah, maybe. Compare the list against a list of unlikely voters. Would be tricky to make sure no attempted double votes were cast. The theory is that these people were voted for, by mail? Or that an inside worker at the polls fed the votes into the machines? In the 2nd case maybe investigators could look at the times the "bullet ballot" votes were cast to see if there were irregularities indicating trouble, like them being clustered around certain times of day.

They had pledged to vote though, I would assume the vast majority of them would have done just that, so how are they "ghost voters?" I feel like I'm missing something here.

This advice is specifically for the hips rather than the buttocks. If you go to the gym, use the hip abductor machine, high reps and low weight, gradually increase. This is the machine where you work the gluteus medius muscle by moving your legs apart against the weighted pads. If you'd prefer to work out at home, search "hip abductor bands", they also work pretty well and you can use them sitting at a desk or something. They work by going above your knees and you stretch the band by moving your knees apart.

Not a fitness coach, or trans, just a guy who had been told he had a flat ass and wanted to prove em wrong. Happy with the results! In general if you want to feminize your body there are tutorials online about what exercises to do. Good luck!

I wish Lemmy natively supported the tagging feature you mention but I'm otherwise pretty happy with the web interface. I generally keep app downloads to a minimum. Which app do you use, I hear people mention the tagging feature more and more lately.

Sure there will be lots of wars and famine but predicting human extinction as a result of climate change is a bit of a stretch. Even in a bad scenario where 99% of humanity dies off things could still turn back around, regrow and we try again for an advanced civilization in a couple millennia.

I've seen a couple of your posts before and I wonder if working in customer service, maybe just as a cashier at a convenience store might help you. Its mindless, menial work but it allows for short interactions with a lot of people. You get to see your community in a different light and meet people you wouldn't otherwise. Maybe eventually you will find your voice and gain the confidence and a few friends that will help you network into better situations. Maybe going to the gym would also help, getting proper cardio and strength training did a lot for my mood and physical self esteem. Also, you are only 35, you will be young-ish for at least another decade if you take care of yourself.

Also, you appear to live in Europe, why not save your money for a train trip to Amsterdam if never being with someone sexually is causing you so much frustration? I'm sure at least some of those workers have experience with people like yourself and would be patient enough to try to help, maybe chat about it too. Honestly just talking openly with someone like that about your situation, someone whose job it is to approach someone intimately might help. This is probably a terrible idea but it is an option, if you feel like you don't have others it might be worth considering.

Loneliness and depression play tricks on you, keep your eyes open for possibilities and a year from now your outlook could be very different.

I mean I definitely do but it's hard to imagine this is insider information considering the distance from the issue being reported on.

Ah yes, for all the most accurate and insightful news about the US election's consequences I always turn to Pakistani news outlets.

See, what his coworkers did was good bullying. Anon learned something and also wasn't fired for whatever skeevy pseudosexual thing he was implying about his coworker, probably over politics. Winning hearts and minds, people.

Not a fan of Apple but the number of people who would benefit from being able to monitor blood oxygenation is more meaningful to me than Masimo's ability to sell thousand dollar smartwatches with its patent technology. Would be great if somehow this patent was bought out and made public domain so people outside the upper middle class could have an affordable way to track their vitals.
