I get it, 50% residents of one of the most influential countries on earth will be very upset, with a lot of geopolitic consequences.
But for some, we cant change the outcome in anyway, I hate the way content even on the Fediverse becomes. Yes its important but man. I was all into 2016 elections but it doesnt really change anything anyway. Americans go vote and all, though.
I just wanna talk about kernels and factorio, man
Tomorrow is the last day to vote. I imagine all the talk won’t be over until noon January 20th with the transfer of power to the new administration.
The majority of the talk will be over by the time the election is called. At least, the majority of it on here.
Hah! It’s adorable that you think it will ever stop! The next set of congressional midterms is only two years away. They’re already ramping up the rhetoric for those!
One more day. Just one more day. Election day is tomorrow, and by the early hours of the morning after, it’ll all be over.
No it won’t. The bullshit will continue with all the election denialism, the rhetoric and violence. Not to mention an the Republican state governors that will fuck shit up.
It ain’t over.
That bullshit will continue, but the obsession of the upcoming election will die down. For those of us who are interested in politics, it will remain an active time; for the majority of people, and thus the constant, annoying buzz of election articles on here, it’ll be over.
Do you know when the first reliable results will come in?
I bet it will be quite late over here in the EU though 😔
Edit: thank you both, guess I’ll see the results in the morning :-) or if I go pee in the middle of the night 😋
The first polls on the East Coast close at 2000, which will be 0100 Wednesday morning in the UK, 0200 CET.
It will take a while to count up all the votes, though, particularly in states where they don’t start counting the mail-in vote until the election closes. I bet when you wake up on Wednesday we still won’t really know.
Well, they’ll know how a lot of places will go, but this one will be probably close enough that I doubt that we’ll be able to make a solid call on the election as a whole very early.
And always possible that there could be a Florida “hanging chads”-style challenge and effort to trigger recounts in any place that winds up extremely close in results, so that might extend it.
Haha i quit reddit not because of the api change and the stupid blackout/protest. But to get away from the propaganda.
booo not casual
It takes two to make a conversation so to make it casual both parties must converse casually. If you are the only comment opposing this conversation’s casual nature then it’s not the person casually initiating conversation that is at fault but your response that is making the conversation *heated. non-casual/uncasual/anti-casual/casual-less idk what the word for opposit of casual would be lol.
I recommend avoiding any subreddit that isn’t a niche you want to talk about for the time being.
Asking people not to talk about something they’re passionate about is a bit silly. I wouldn’t ask you to stop talking about Linux or Factorio until February.
