god this is a big ask but I really wish there were like….. a site where you could plug in your state/district/whatever and tick some boxes on issues you prioritize and then the site would give you a rundown of the potential candidates in your area and where they stand on those issues in like….. clean simple bullet points. gimme the cliffnotes, I literally do not have the time or energy to comb through god knows how many articles and shit to figure out who to support, just tell me what their stance is on X, Y, and Z, and that’s gonna have to be enough.
It goes through who’s on your ballot and explains things like that based on your address.
this is really great. it gives you bullet points on what each candidate has said and done on each issue.
very illuminating, frankly, seeing the candidate’s own words and actions. for instance, under ‘defense/veterans’ the republican candidates almost always say something about a well-funded military, and the democrats almost always say something about getting veterans the medical care they need. makes it pretty obvious that republicans don’t care about soldiers once they’re done with them.
I was just talking to a family. The dad used “he” pronouns for me while the mom used “she”. They kept shooting each other sharp glances and subtly shaking their heads.
I said nothing, delighting in the fact that I am not obligated to be helpful in this circumstance.
Shoe…you really are a fae…
My NPC catchphrase when I approach guests is “Hello and welcome! My name is Ship. If you need anything or if you have questions, please let me know!”
A few times, guests have asked questions I could not answer, and jokingly complained that my introduction was a lie because I didn’t immediately know everything they asked me. I have then replied, “Oh, but sir, all I said was to please let me know if you have questions. I never said I would actually answer them.”
