Gov. Jared Polis has signed a bill into law mandating that election officials bring voting services to county detention centers and jails for statewide general elections.

The statewide program is the first of its kind.

In total, 61 jails and detention centers will have in-person voting in November. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/colorado-jail-voting-in-person-november-election-rcna150951

@GottaLaff Question from the Æther: why is there a link to a Maduro story from 2021?

In response to the ongoing debate whether the US should lift restrictions on US weapons being used inside Russia, US House Speaker Mike Johnson said that "Ukraine should be allowed to prosecute the war in a way they see fit. They need to be able to fight back and us trying to micro manage that effort is not a good policy."

@noelreports You're smart.

How did this guy switch from No Money! to Money & Full Use!, and why did it take six months of him delaying things to get there?

You know the word queue is French, because they literally could have just spelled it "q", but there's four silent nonsense vowels at the end of it instead.

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@RickiTarr French is a glorious language if only because its precision spelling and structure is forever undercut by the lazy pronunciation.

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@RickiTarr I took French in school for around a decade, and whenever I'm obliged to crash through some Spanish, I'm taken aback by the notion of pronouncing the Entire word.

Madness.

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@Vincarsi @RickiTarr I cannot argue with any of your points, but for better or worse, that's one reason I like French (and English) so much.

They are eccentric and non-utilitarian, which gives me comfort in this modern world of maximized productivity.

Y'all I just made myself feel so old, hubs looked up top 100 music from 2001, 2011, 2021, and today and the amount of music I could recognize decreased by significantly. I recognized probably 70% of 2001 and decreasing as I went on. BUT I blame the internet, I can listen to exactly the kind of music I want with no dependence on the radio, but also I'm old!

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@RickiTarr I pipped this prospect at the post when I developed a keen interest in music from the mid-'70s through the mid-'80s during my formative late-'90s years.

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@RickiTarr One of my formative sound experiences occurred when I was ten or twelve.

I was taken on a trip to Virginia (and points Maryland) with my grandparents for a week or so, visiting Williamsburg and some family members.

One of these family members was Great Uncle (something). He had only 9 & 1/2 fingers due to a mowing accident some decades prior.

Shortly after arriving, he asked me, "Hey kid, have you heard of 'high fidelity'?", and turned on his turntable system.

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@RickiTarr Now, inasmuch this story has a point, it's this: I've got to be one of the youngest people alive who's heard Big Band music on a high-fidelity, stereophonic system from a guy who in all likelihood purchased that record when it was new.

And if that's not a boast, I don't know what is.

Partner: “there’s a spider in the bathroom”

Me: “ oh yeah, they’ve been there for a while. We have a deal”

P: “a deal?”

M: “yup. They keep the bathroom bug free and I let them watch”

P alarmed: “watch what?!”

M: “oh you know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)”

@studiofox I love bathroom spiders. They get the job done, and are very discreet.

What is the thing(s) that attracts you to a person romantically or otherwise?

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@RickiTarr Unlikelihood.

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@RickiTarr Oh, sure, call me out on a vague description...

I'm drawn to people who don't fit the norm—either "naturally" or through a more conscious pursuit of novel personality traits. It's a fine line between this and pretentiousness, but someone who is an eccentric will generally attract my attention.

Someone who makes me wonder, "What are the odds?..."

gilesforyou,
@gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

@RickiTarr I remarked that in jest, as you probably inferred.

Yes, I believe that the term "eccentric" shouldn't carry a negative connotation. I typically consider it short-hand for "bothering to be interesting".

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:

    The Two Types of Vacationers:

    Me: Hey Honey, what do you want to do on vacation? I want to walk somewhere lovely and try something new every day.

    Hubs: Sleep as long as I want.

    gilesforyou,
    @gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

    @RickiTarr As a rule, my family's only organized activities on vacation were designating which restaurants to visit each day.

    Everything else was left unstructured.

    What kind of high-school experience did you have? Were you in a clique? Were you popular, unpopular, the coolest kid in your Homeschool? Did you have a sweet jean jacket with patches, or maybe a leather vest? Were you an evil villain or a Mary Sue?

    gilesforyou,
    @gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

    @RickiTarr Leather jacket, Hawaiian shirt, Shorts, and Chuck Taylors—before an about face half-way through senior year to glitzed formal-wear.

    I had a few good buddies, but mostly just careened the various cliques as a visitor.

    Popular? Dunno. I was certainly well-known and liked

    "Chain migration" is the BEST kind of immigration. You want people who move to you country to have a local network and support. You want new immigrants to bring their family, and the economic activity they generate and the value they add to communities to be in YOUR country.

    I can't believe we let them use it like a slur. It's good and do it more.

    What? They brought their elderly parents? That's good for US and for them (the new American we want to be successful and happy.) RIGHT?

    gilesforyou,
    @gilesforyou@mastodon.coffee avatar

    @futurebird Hear, hear.

    Put more crudely, if people are tripping over themselves to move to your country, that typically means your country's a winner; and it's cool to be on a winning team.

    For over twenty years now
    We've been giving a bunch
    Of these funky-doody antlers
    From Hawaiian punch.

    Seven fruits are blended
    For a taste that's one of a kind—
    But beware of seeing Punchie,
    Or he'll get you every time.

    They call him Punchie!
