Thank you Admiral!

Oh, you know they would not, nor the LA Times, or the New York Times.

If we had 100% vote by mail, we wouldn't need a holiday. :)

Apparently true, FTA:

"I would not acknowledge reproduction as a human right, but instead as a form of rape,” IndictEvolution wrote on Lemmy.World in July 2023. “I am also not bothered by infanticide as long as it is done humanely...”

Let's pull that modlog:

Looks like he tried to set up an anti-natalism community and got bounced by the Admins.

While true, News requires that the headline of the post match the article being posted.

You can put the information about lemmy.world in the body or a comment.

This has already been removed once, I'd prefer not having to remove it again.

I still have this general feeling that all this AI nonsense is going to blow over by 2027/2028 and we'll all be going "Hey, remember when that was the big tech buzzword?"

Kind of like how everyone was talking "virtualization" 20 years ago.

Pretty much, look at a non-covid election and compare vote by mail states to the average American turnout.

I'm biased because I live in Oregon and we tie voter registration to DMV licenses AND do 100% vote by mail.

2016: 80.33% voter turnout.
2018: 67.8%
2020: 78.5%
2022: 66.9%
2024: 75%

In 2016 there were 2,553,808 registrants and 2,051,452 voters, compared with 2020 and 2,951,428 registrants and 2,317,965 voters.

In 2024, the difference was negligible, 75% returning ballots and 2,308,256 voters. Yeah, a slight drop, but then we had a bunch of people die from Covid too.

If you compare that to the national averages:

2016: 59.2%
2018: 49% (highest mid-term turnout since 1914)
2020: 65.3%
2022: 46% (highest since 1970)
2024: 63.5%

Oh yeah, J.J. I had forgotten about that.

But keep in mind that's a Netflix product Marvel inherited, it's not quite the same class as, say Agatha All Along.

p.s. How freaking amazing was David Tennant in that.

If you trained it on his works and gave it the proper vocabulary and grammar rules, quite probably.

Interesting bit: She doesn't consider herself a graphic novelist, this just seemed to be the best way for her to tell the story.
