  • This is like those silly fake IDs that the sovereign citizen goofballs use, and as such it would fail at being an ID in the same ways.

    While not helpful for privacy, the truth is that the only reason a state ID has any value is because it comes from a ‘trusted’ source who verifies the information on it. An ID that isn’t issued by a trusted source has no value, as it would be no different from me just asking the person holding it who they are, they can say whatever they like, just as their printed card could say whatever it likes.

    There’s a country in Europe called Ireland.

    I don’t know much about the politics and policies there, but what I do know is that if I drop the street view guy there, most places are green and pretty. That puts it pretty high up on my list.


  • The way I see it, why leave?

    Am I just going to let the place fall to ruin because I didn’t get my way this time? There are people here who want to make things better, just like I do, and they will need my help next time. It’d be selfish for me to leave them and make things better for just myself when we’re supposed to be trying to make things better for everyone.

    If things get truly bad, I have to hope that more people will want to make things better. That doesn’t work if everyone just runs away at the first sign of things going wrong. If you’re of a group where you might be persecuted, and you find yourself in danger, then go, run, but I’m reasonably safe for now, so I will stay and hope for a better tomorrow.


  • Your fear of a 3rd term makes it all the more important to vote in your future elections. As the two term limit is imposed through a constitutional amendment, they’d need to create another constitutional amendment to reverse it. They need 2/3rds of both the house and the senate to agree to even get the ball rolling, as such, it is vital that you do what you can to prevent them from acquiring those numbers to avoid that situation.

    If it did happen, I wonder if the democrats would run Obama again.





  • Well, I’m not really sure Pyroclastic Ash and Debris would hit the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the election, since most of the states outside of its campaign range would likely not vote for it. This would push the vote for president to the House, where Pyroclastic Ash and Debris has no members of their party to vote for them, resulting in a Trump victory, with the Senate picking the VP, where I’d assume they’d agree on Pyroclastic Ash and Debris’ running mate.













  • I don’t share your opinion on this matter, so I don’t know of one off the top of my head, and my quick search yielded no results.

    Normally I’d say “Be the change you want to see.” and encourage you to create a community for it yourself. However, you should probably ask yourself first, whether a community dedicated to hating something is even worth having, and then ask yourself if it is worth moderating. I can’t imagine you’d have any real great conversations when it’s all going to just be “x sucks” you’d basically just end up with the same post over and over again.
