All I can say is Ryan Wesley Routh of Guilford County NC born 1966 did not vote in NC in 2016 or 2020. https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup Maybe he voted in another state or just as likely is just a nut bar that says things that don’t match reality.

According to NC voter rolls he did not vote in 2016 or 2020. Voted in the Democratic primary in March but social media post were all over the place. Unwell mind

According to the NC voter rolls he was registered unaffiliated. Voted in the Democratic primary in March. Voted in The general election in 2008 & 12 but not in 2016 or 2020. Garden variety nut bar

Would be interesting to see how the map compares to abortion restrictions

Small government seems to find it’s way between folks & their Dr

Statistically people get 30000 days give or take a few thousand. Sometimes its a lot less. It’s our nature to make plans for our future but none of us is promised a tomorrow. All any of us know is that we have today. It sucks to get news like that just like it would suck to have a fatal heart attack at 40 or be hit by a drunk driver at 20 or be the unlucky victim of whatever tragedy. I lost a cousin when he was 9. Fair is not a property of the universe. Spending the time you are here fretting over knowing it’s going to end is pointless.

Practical steps. Talk to more doctors. Sure there are treatments to give you a chance at the longer time range. Talk to a therapist. Most of us get to ease into a mid-life crisis. You get to do the speedrun. Don’t put more importance the things you hoped to have in the nebulous future than the things you have today.

First sit down interview should have been on Hot Ones.

They better make a decision pretty quickly - I know here in NC absentee ballots get sent out early September.

NC governor is a Democrat (and was on Harris’s short list for VP)

While the legislature is Republican run our AG & Secretary of State are both Democrats and it will be quite difficult for Republicans to gum up the election I’m sure they will try though

You are correct, he didn’t want to talk about economic plans but his advisors are begging him to give them something to try and change the narrative because he is sinking bigly. The crowd there was maybe 2k tops but they (the professionals running his campaign) need sound bites and clips of him looking if not Presidential, at least coherent for the nightly news. But of course Trump can’t stay on message so he keeps slipping further in the polls and will be blaming everyone around him and attacks those trying to help him get back to the White House.

You love to see it.

The goal is not only to support the Harris campaign but also to raise the visibility of Mastodon including possibly an official Harris for President presence there. I believe the fundraiser has already convinced ACTBlue to include a share on Mastodon link.

Come census time there will be pregnancy tests?

Easier just to block some folks.

Congratulations on being the parent they felt comfortable coming out to! Son came out around the same age, he’s 20 now.

A lot is going to depend on your location. Name change paperwork was a chore but not as much as navigating insurance for HRT. Public school was mostly okay but much was remote due to COVID.

Pm if you have any particular questions.

I’ve often thought it would be informative to have candidates take the citizenship test.

The abs on those…knees? And the thumb on the limb coming out of those shorts sure is something.

I’m gonna have some weird nightmares

Okay but should we take someone who calls themselves ramenshaman seriously?

Polls have never been that accurate and they’re getting worse. Romney ahead of Obama in polls

I’m not suggesting folks get complacent but I wouldn’t lose sleep over any polls this far out. The fact that Trump has ANY support is worrying though.

3 bankruptcies and 5 years of not filing taxes, no wonder Trump endorsed this guy.

About 77% where I am

Mid 50s here. One of the biggest factors for me has been how long it takes to recover from the wear and tear of being active. In my 20s I could be sore in the afternoon from exercise in the morning but be fine by evening. Now 48 hrs is typical. At my age I’m only focusing on maintenance and injury prevention.
