How long does this US Election business actually take, anyway?

Are you asking for presidential elections, or in general?

[Orange Wizard]

He locks whatever gets reports. He's not too bothered about the lower boards really, just so long as he can keep them from having any drama that takes more work to deal with. It's easier to just lock things as soon as reports start rolling in.

Not... really? He also purges posts from threads that get drama-y or whatever without locking them. He usually on locks threads are probably more trouble than they're worth, like the RAGE thread(s) and controversial politics.

Too long.

In NZ it's basically just, "let's have an election, oh look National got majority again, see you in three years". The US seems to drag it out for sodding ever, and exports all the bullshit as some kind of perverted propaganda.

[TheBiggerFish]

Ha, yeah.  It's barely 2016 and this has been going on for months already.

Wait, don't we have a thread for the 2016 elections already?

The ride never ends.

Hype starts up about 2 years before the presidential election as people start campaigning. Elections happen every 4 years.

So yeah.

[Eric Blank]

Basically we spend half a presidents' term ignoring them and trashing next elections' candidates. Unless they're on the ballot, of course.

Spoiler: So I left a note on my mate's fridge (click to show/hide)

[snip]

Hehehehehehe.

I appreciate a good meme, even if I don't get it, but that may be the most unreadable English text I have ever seen.
Even when I could make out the letters, the phrases defied all meaning.

I can't make out the letters. Transcription, please?

[TheBiggerFish]

Ditto.

[chaotic skies]

So I have this 1 inch scar in the middle of my right hand. Smack-dab in the middle, slanted to the left (toward my chest) when I hold my palm up toward my face. No clue where the hell it came from, as the last thing to give me a scar was a 6-inch cut from a half inch staple. I think I would notice something like that on my hand.

The WTFery? On my other (left) hand, I'm having this wierd, semi-painful sensation in a similar pattern; about 1 inch long, slanted toward my chest (right in this case), and I'm not really sure where it's coming from. So the question is, am I being marked or something, is there a ghost, or did I just fuck up my hand?

Either way, scared the shit out of me when it started.

[TheBiggerFish]

Erm...Doctor?

[Spehss _]

Erm...Doctor?

"What seems to be the problem, Mr Chaotic Skies?"
"Well, Doctor, I have these two weird scars in the middle of my hands. I have no idea how they got there."
"Hmm, let me see...I've had years of medical training and am an expert in my field...yep, looks like scars. Do they hurt?"
"Yeah."
"Hmmm. Sounds like you're shit out of luck, kid. Nothing I can do for mysterious scars that just magically appeared on your hands out of nowhere."
"Thanks, Doc."

[chaotic skies]

Eh...I don't go to the doctor. Ever. For example, there was the time I was sick as fuck, thought people were teleporting all over, saw dancing anime figures, and generally having a good (if slightly unpleasent) time. Only now that I look back on it, I'm pretty sure that's negelect on my parents part, but whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just saw this, this is the best thing I've seen in a while

*Descends into a mixture of insane giggles and strange snorts*

Not quite that level of hallucination, but I had a similar experience.

[Skyrunner]

So... of the sixty odd cards I've opened from MTG boosters today, you would think the mythic rare Planeswalker was the most expensive...


but it's actually the Flooded Hearth (searchland, I think?) that is $20 while the planeswalker is $5.
