🎭 GD Chat Room (Part 5)

that’s true if you want more people to participate in elections you should make it as convenient as possible, the US is currently trying to do the opposite by making it an absolute chore to vote.

Yeah would think they would want as many as possible to vote, but it doesn’t seem like it… We can do everything else online, so why not voting? Would be so helpful for all those people that cannot get to the voting places on their own for various reasons.

I think that’s a good thing tbh.
The US did show what an absolute :poop:show it becomes when no one can trust the results.
Longer voting window for sure but I absolutely think people need to haul their bums to an official location with id in hand :grin:

How the hike go? It was quite the climb right?

The thing is people started to distrust elections because a certain person started throwing a tantrum and pushing all kinds of weird conspiracy theories he saw on Facebook and twitter when he lost, supported by Fox News etc. Last time the whole “election fraud” topic wasn’t brought up at all because he won I guess :rofl:, it’s also ironic that he himself voted by mail.

Or make it so that the party gathering the most casted ballot gets in power. No 2 rounds shenanigans. Good news is that feature already exists in Europe.

Nice! And you’re going next weekend too? Trying to hit all the peaks or something :grin:

eeheh. maybe saturday. ive a knee that sometimes hurts… since im old this could be the sign to take a break.
But in 4 months ill be in new zealand to hike some months so I MUST BE PREPARED!

I saw a lot of gasoline being thrown by a lot of people but there were fires and that’s not what I consider a good system. I look at the us elections as a good example of how not do things :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

Oh damn! New Zeeland even. I watch a 'tuber that does a lot of hiking there. Looks amazing! And tough!
I got a bit jealous now :grin:
Probably a good idea to keep up the hiking in preparation but rest is important too

Yeah I don’t know, we have mail-in voting since I can remember and it wasn’t really an issue, but here in switzerland things aren’t as polarized/divided and we have less government distrust in general as in the US or some european countries currently.

Also happy birthday to my wee man Roscoe!!! 4 years old and he got a free muffin in Starbucks when I cashed in some reward points.

He still drank my latte.

You plan on being in Zeeland the whole 6 months or are going to mix it up a bit?
Could be a good idea to try to figure why the knees hurt, if it just exertion or something else.
I got bumm knees and hiking steep downhill can be a real pain.
Only way to figure out though is to keep testing and keep pushing it :grin:
