It’s not inefficient, they check that you are a citizen before it’s even time to vote You don’t need to prove anything at the voting location generally. Because how much of a hassle would it be if you had to prove you’re a citizen the day you go to vote? Can you imagine how long that would take? It’s like pre-registering for anything.

WE ALREADY HAVE TO HAVE ID TO VOTE, what do you think voter registration is? In every single state you have to, get this, register to vote. You don’t just walk into a polling station and just say give me a ballot. No they certify your citizenship BEFOREHAND. THAT’S WHY PEOPLE ARE ON THE VOTER ROLLS TO BEGIN WITH!

I don’t have any other subscriptions. Literally prime the only one I have. I don’t pay for Disney or Hulu because it is included in my Xfinity but we don’t pay for anything else

What? I don’t understand what you’re asking. Six or seven of us share one Amazon account.

Well you were saying to use AliExpress instead of Amazon in order not to feed the billionaires basically is what I inferred from your comment.
- Comment on It's unacceptable that people like Jeff Bezos exist. 4 days ago:
You don’t think aliexpress is ran by billionaires?

Don’t you know you’re supposed to make your own rope from cotton that you’ve grown, and make your own mop with wood that you harvested from your backyard?

Yep The only way I have found a combat is to share subscriptions with people. Currently I am sharing my Amazon account with my mom (and my dad before he passed away) My spouse, my aunt, My best friend, her husband, and her sister. We all use the same login and we all trust each other enough not to use each other’s credit cards. So you have to be able to have that trust in someone but at least that means Amazon is not getting six separate prime membership payments. But unfortunately I do end up having to use them for my mom who lives in a rural area

In most places in rural America Walmart is the only place to shop at other than a grocery store. And sometimes they don’t even have a separate grocery store. People in large metropolitan areas seem to forget there’s a whole lot of America that’s rural and nothing else is available there.

While I completely agree with you and I try not to use either company, lot of people who live in rural America do not have a choice. My parent well used to be parents before my dad died, does not drive and doesn’t always have someone to get deliveries for her elsewhere. Even so The only place to shop in the area she lives is Walmart. There is no other place except for grocery stores. So where do you suggest those people shop other than Amazon and Walmart? Personally I live in a place where I can go to Costco and that’s where I get most of my items but for things that are unable to be bought at Costco (for example a rare size screw but I need for a mechanical part) can sometimes only be bought at Amazon.

And robot should make it so that we have to work less hours and get paid the same as working more hours. We should have an easier life having robots around not a harder life

I can’t cancel prime due to elderly parents who live in a rural area and don’t drive. BUT there are like six or seven of us on the Amazon account sharing one account. As long as you trust the people not to use your credit card maliciously you can do that or you just delete your card every time you make a purchase. And we don’t all live in the same household either
- Comment on Honestly impressive how pharmacies are able to find a new type of problem every time I go to pick up my meds 4 days ago:
Not all of them are though my wife can only take the name brand of cimbalta because the generic fucks with her body
- Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail? 3 weeks ago:
Personally it’s that companies in America are so shitty that they don’t want to pony up the money for tools. I work for a local government parks dept and all the tools are provided for the trades staff
- Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail? 3 weeks ago:
Look for local governments, maybe parks and rec, waste water, transportation. Learn to type fast to pass the typing test, learn word and excel, and if possible systems like workday or other time and personnel software. You sometimes do not need a degree for those assistant positions

You might need to get some oyster shells. They might not be getting enough calcium. Especially young hens need it sometimes.

- Comment on The way this egg peels in infuriating 4 weeks ago:
I have chickens, and steam eggs in a steamer pot on the stove, but these kind of eggs when they didn’t peel right is from an old chicken. Something to do with membrane is not great on them
