While yes I’m sure it contributed, I think a lot of people voted because their rent and groceries were too expensive, so that means “vote for the party not in power”. It makes zero sense, but I have to hope that they’re just uninformed and desperate and not eager for what Trump and 2025 crew want.

Ultimately though, it’s on them. It was their responsibility to know what they’re voting for, and they failed. Now we can only hope they’re too incompetent to do what they want.

“Don’t look down! Don’t look down!” shouted the man standing before the crowd, pumping his fist to accent each word. The chant went on for about 15 seconds, around 8 times the Florida crowd copied the politician before them. The crowd hushed as he began to speak again: “This… Is about control” he started. “‘They’ want you to be fearful, to be obedient… But we’re not falling for their nonsense! They tried with the plan-demic and they’re trying again with this. Well I say NO. We will be FREE because Patriots like you and me will never let them take that freedom!”

The crowd roared in cheers as the water lapped at their ankles.

My partner gave the reply “No, we’re just practicing”, the lady looked horrified. You asked about a near stranger’s sex life, lady. I don’t know what she expected.

If it’s anything like Boost for Reddit was, it’s unnoticeable. Every 20 or so posts you’ll see an ad and just scroll past, no animations or sound. I think I recall seeing a bottom banner? Any other Boost users confirm? I really just ignored it so I can’t recall.

My point is, ads were non-obstructive

One of us… One of us…

Also NZ, South island, only time I boil water to drink is for tea ☕

Tastes great right from the tap.

Also depends on what’s happening. I used to live in the US in Texas and when the power went out at all we would need to boil for a while. A lot depends on the local government and utilities in the US, every state and county seems to do stuff in a slightly different way.
