We should really discuss if the government is doing enough to keep an eye on them for their safety.

I could see some kind of arrangement where the age would be something reasonable like 16-18, but then there is a test you can write (basic civics questions eg. who are the candidates, what does the legislative branch do, etc.) and if you pass that test, kind of like a learner’s permit for driving, you can vote even if you’re under that age, down to a hard cutoff of like 13.

As someone on the autism spectrum, I don’t mind using it or hearing people use it at all, as long as it’s being used as a synonym for “dumb” and not being used to specifically disparage someone with a disability. Just like “idiot”, words evolve over time from being specific words to refer to disabilities to just general words for someone being a dumbass.

Rule 5: must be a topic of discussion

This is not a subject of discussion. It’s just OP saying “help me do my job pls”

Anyone who can’t pedal is also gonna have trouble standing upright and maintaining a neutral balance on a thin board

A shitpost is something low effort, that simply takes up space in the content feed without being engaging, entertaining, or interesting.

One of the primary forms of shitpost is a meme or joke that isn’t very funny, or has been reposted to death. So “shitposting” can refer to the act of spamming shitty meme posts.

One of those isn’t a benefit and the other isn’t true. Also, e-bikes are a thing

Gob Bluth rides one, which reality captured the vibe they gave for the average person.

Except it didn’t really sound promising

We need more maths terminology in our regulations

Tell me you’ve never worked a day in your life without telling me you’ve never worked a day in your life.

Further: all toasters should be able to steal the sunbeam radiant control patent since it’s being squatted on and not used in any toaster on the market

The number of hotdogs in a hotdog pack and the number of hotdog buns in a hotdog bun pack cannot be coprime

The one I buy has a Ziploc but it’s very shittily attached to the inside of the bag. So sometimes it breaks off and then both sides of the Ziploc are stuck to one wall of the bag and it becomes useless.

People just take any opportunity to rant about their favourite cause that gets them fired up. They don’t care about a fun premise for a thread. Sidenote: that would be my inconsequential thing to regulate; that people would always have to respond to forum posts on topic and in the spirit of the post.

Trial by combat

For like 5 people?

I went to one for a politician who was running in his party’s primary to be the leader of the party. It was a relatively chill event in a local bar. This politician is somewhat famously a former member of a band, so the rally was mostly a live music event of him playing old labour movement/folk songs like 16 ton, interspersed with talking points.
