I agree with the sentiment and the desired outcome. However, at the risk of calling voting less effective than firebombing a walmart and then not firebombing a walmart:
Given that many purchases like food or gas have to be made at one point or another, why is it not an issue that a one day boycott would simply shift the spending to the days around Feb 28 and be net neutral for the corps?
The weeklong amazon blackout does actually seem useful since there are local solutions to many purchases, but the issue of stocking up the week before (or waiting a week), shifting the spending rather than eliminating it, remains for items which are not available locally.
The assertion that consumer spending day to day is meaningful to corporations is not well evidenced. Boycotts of commodities are famously ineffective due to this kind of shifting. Without direct action accompanying the boycott, or a boycott long enough to affect quarterly earnings, corporations have no reason to acknowledge it. At worst this risks substituting meaningful action for something less effective.
At the very least, most americans can easily participate, but even at 100% compliance I don’t see the one-day blackout having any effect.
USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.
Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.
If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.
Are you with me?
Spread the word.

Inspired by @crimeronan - female characters poll, but ~morally dubious~ and/or ~bitchy~ edition
…..I feel like these are still pretty vanilla choices. and then Aranea Fucking Serket. ajshdhdbfjhfnhf
Kitkat making fun of me as I bemoan how bad I am at liking bitches
Tallys you’ve never done anything wrong in your fucking life and I am saying that with my CHEST
Yes both halves of Cinta/Vel (Andor) are on here. I can’t tell who gets more fandom hate
Rika didn’t make the list because she’s literally eleven years old. ……I say, putting Nanami on the list. No but. Does Rika even have haters.
But unfortunately I may have set up a Maki sweep

Thank you for spreading that thing about voting. The rhetoric I've been seeing from a lot of the left, at least on here, has mirrored 2016 really closely and it's getting me extremely nervous.
yeah considering how many self-destructive doomer-y "it's not even worth voting, nothing but DIRECT ACTION can save us now" posts i've seen cross my dash over the past couple years i figured it was probably smart for me to spread it when i saw it going around again. i'm not american myself, but i have a lot of loved ones down there who really especially cannot afford a republican win this year, and i'll do whatever little i can to help them stay safe-ish. (not to mention i DO still share a land border with the US, and a vicious autocrat god-emperor would probably not be a great next-door neighbor for me either)
#ask#anonymous#us politics#honestly the 'why even bother voting? we just need to start throwing bricks' logic is so terrible under even the mildest scrutiny#like first of all. why not do both. in that order.#but ALSO if you don't vote then the people you are gonna be throwing bricks at later may end up with a lot more power to crush you#these are multiple methods of change and prevention that can work in parallel#treating them as mutually exclusive only benefits the people who would absolutely prefer you do neither#you certainly can't make anything WORSE than they already would be by voting blue in this situation. it is neutral at worst#it's not like they'll call the whole election off and reorganize the entire system just because YOU boldly didn't show up to the polls lmao

DC Draino's comments are, as usual, unnecessarily dramatic. Yes, Hobbs vetoed the referenced bill and I think she's generally overly fond of that veto stamp but this particular bill wasn't great.
SB/HB2703 would basically have done three things:
Required schools to be available as voting locations - I'm neutral on that; Hobbs cited it as a reason to veto, supposedly over concerns of interrupting the learning environment, which I'd say is nonsense because schools I went to were used as poll locations and none of us even noticed when it was happening but whatever.
Required voters to show their ID when dropping off a 'late-early' ballot at the polls, which would eliminate the need for lengthy processing and signature verification that slows down vote counting here - This bit gets a little complicated so I want to preface by saying I may be misreading some of the details but it looks to me like in some areas the option to default to standard slow processing for those late-earlies would not allowed and voters would only be allowed to return their mail-in ballot to a voting location in the last four days of the election if they present their ID. If voters were given the option and encouraged to show their ID so we can speed things up, I'd be all for it but I do want a back-up option. Katie's veto letter doesn't appear to indicate a problem with this point though.
Required early voters to verify their address in order to receive a mail ballot prior to each election - I'm actually with Hobbs on this one, it sucks. I see what the legislature is trying to do but this bill does not accomplish that well at all. Would effectively defeat the concept of an Active Early Voter List and frankly, cause more confusion and problems than it's worth. Either have the balls to get rid of the AEVL and say that's what you're doing or accept the responsibility to clean the damn voter rolls.
I will also link to this post if anyone's reading that second point and has no idea what I'm talking about.
I probably would have vetoed this one too. Well, I wouldn't have signed it in this form, at least. I do think a governor who was less hostile to the legislature could have gotten that second point resolved before it reached her desk (not that Katie apparently cared) and probably could have persuaded the legislature to separate out that third one for individual consideration. But Katie doesn't play well with the opposition so she just vetoes everything.

i'm seeing three times as many people bitching in the tag about the very idea that someone might not like this breed than i see people actually expressing unambiguous dislike for this breed
#the preemptive counter-bitchers are consistently orders of magnitude meaner and more uncharitable about it too#like i'm convinced at this point these people just have these counter-bitches ready to go on launch regardless of actual reception#it's starting to feel like they just fill out a generic “what moral failing can i accuse the potential idea of dislikers of” template#and post it as soon as the thing's out whether or not anyone actually complains much less the way they accuse people of#these people are getting to the point that even when it's about something i unambiguously *like* i still have to resist the urge#to comment “fr staff aren't gonna fuck you bro”#there's like 11 different posts all insisting that the only reason anyone could dislike the new breed is fatphobia#meanwhile i scrolled down the entire tag and found like 2. maybe 3 people that even mentioned it in the same post as disliking the breed#before anyone gets ideas i'm generally-neutral-to-appreciative of the attempt at moldbreaking on the breed#and am completely indifferent the weight of dragons. the only thing i care about is if the design is original and interesting#a vast majority of the dislike posts i've seen so far have been in the vein of “nah man this one's just not for me” or “too maggot”#or “i hoped for an eldritch horror”. and there's not that many of these dislike posts in general. especially compared to normal.#meanwhile the counter-bitching has all been like “YOU'RE ALL JUST GREEDY UNPLEASABLE ENTITLED WHINY BABY FATPHOBES DIE MAD”#it's like this every time and i feel like it takes less and less to get people going like this every time#it almost feels like they get angrier faster the *less* anyone actually complains in the first place#a behavior pattern i'm well versed in from experience with my mother#and they always seem to get angriest at the most mild polite complaint posters rather than any of the actually questionable ones#like they'll ignore someone spouting clear fatphobia to go fling bigotry accusations at someone who just said “eh i kinda hoped for scary”#they also consistently have a bad case of “fr players are a monolith who all ask for the same things”-brain#i don't know what it is that makes it so fr players are so insecure about liking anything that the possible existence of anyone who doesnt#makes them feel like they're being directly attacked#flight rising#i suspect it's downstream of a similar kind of “we know if we don't get what we want we lose our chance because the devs are fickle” thing#to the fundamental flaw that doomed the minecraft mob votes

Unless the third mob ends up being an insect or arachnid I'm super excited for, if the crab loses the Minecraft mob vote I will sob and cry
#I'm so scared for this vote because the crab claw tool seems so cool but#People tend have Mammal Favoritism#We need more arthropods!!!!!!!#there's a literal enchantment called Bane Of Arthropods and there are only 4 arthropods#TECHNICALLY you could say there's 5 but cave spiders are barely even distinct#only 3 of those are ones you have a reason to fight! Bees are neutral!#and 1 of those is something I don't think I've ever actually seen in survival?#Ender mites seem to hardly be there#and silverfish are only found in a rare structure!!!#so you're likely to see 2 different arthropods max any time you boot up the game#Minecraft#Wasp House Buzzing

no this is not an important topic BUT im curious. note: i forgot to put a "i literally don't care i just do whatever" option but. pick im bald for that i guess
#i'm very firm on my answer but im curious about the distribution tbh#trying to add nuance to the options but there's only so much i can think of#to elaborate on the polycule option it's like. i only want to see AxB when im an AxC fan if it's AxBxC at the same time#as opposed to AxB separate from AxC or AxB and AxC at different points in a character's life or just A(C+B) but NOT BxC#(even though there are polycules that look like AxC+AxB but not BxC. ugh idk just vote with your gut explaining's hard)#anyway i've seen ppl who're bothered (/neutral) by seeing alt ships bc they a) have fictives involved b) kin a character involved or c)#selfship with a character involved so like. im curious is what im saying. bc im generally pretty insistent on my own multishipping#but i get the a b and c reasons for ppl being uncomfortable. i also get things like characters being married or smth. im starting to think#my options for this poll weren't amazing (again) but whatever

Be honest, polls are anonymous after all
#trafficblr#secret life spoilers#secret life smp#slsmp#life series#jimmy solidarity#canary curse#you can elaborate on the exact feelings if u want idrc#I voted mostly neutral cuz like I was team ‘I hope he’s out first’ but I’m not as upset as I expected#I was just like ‘oh okay’ even as my FIRST reaction. I thought I’d be upset but it’s like alright neat!!!#so I’m going neutral

huh... the way my parents showed me the world worked was really kind of fucked up, it's no fucking wonder i have an anxiety disorder frankly.
#this post brought to you by#i voted today#and it's really weird to vote in not just a state but a whole area where voter suppression isn't like just low-key constantly happening#and also knowing now it wasn't targeted at my family but my family always talked about it like it was#because hilariously voter suppression helps suppress ALL votes even the ones for your side so like jokes on the conservatives in the area#but like... the concern that I would do something at the polls that would make them turn me away was always constant#were my clothing choices neutral enough? did i have any stickers or pins i'd forgotten about? what color were the sample ballots this year?#if i only grab one people will know who i'm voting for better grab all 3 and then not use them because they'll be able to tell somehow#did they move our voting location again this year or is it back at the library? will the machines work? where will we park?#and like... yes you get a sticker but also will people somehow Know and will that get my ballot disqualified?#i moved to a slightly less-fraught area and still had all the anxieties and now they were tripled because now i was voting against my famil#and every election i have voted in so far has gone opposite my vote so i am Very Concerned about that on top of things#but yeah like. it's weird that it's so easy to vote up here. it's weird that there's so many incentives#it's weird and uncomfortable but definitely not bad just....weird#but also having a celebration of your first vote with a cake and a poll watch party where your cake is a fake ballot and your mom takes#a picture of you ''voting'' on the cake for the Correct Guy That You'd Better Be Voting For Or Else on it might also be a little weird#so like. different weirds#this one's better i gotta say#i'm just... just gonna sit and Hope okay#i've done what i can time to wait and see

how you gonna vote your way out of something you didn't even vote your way into...
#we got.. gerrymandering. we got voter suppression. we got uneducated voters like all the lgbtq+ people i know voting straight ticket repub.#we got literal vote stealing. we got the flawed electoral college. we've got bad nominee choices! god do we have some bad nominees#we've got issues that cannot be fixed by political action regardless like....#idk. i think it's fine to encourage people to vote. it's not that i disagree with it as a concept. it's not that i think it doesn't matter.#it just matters.. very.. little... it seems like. after many years personally.. of voting#lol..#i have never been happy with a candidate i've voted for even those who have made it to office#the turnaround has never been particularly positive#neutral sure. a few times locally.#but often i feel an ideological shame later because their views don't align with mine in reality or in practice so it's like 🥴 eugh cringe#so whenever i see someone being aggressively pro-voting and ranking it so highly as a political action it's like well#are you naïve or are you fundamentally opposite to me#can we be ffr right now 🐱#adam yaps

There's something interesting to be said about the opinions of different fanbases based on culture and how it affects the votes but it's late and I can't write it out too much so only one example for today: amane
Down under the cut so if it gets too long it won't affect anyone's scrollin
Also warning the tags are long on this one
- <- this indicates a new talking point
Basically I think the jp/more asian parts of the fandom tend to lean towards greater good (amane guilty to protect shidou/mahiru/fuuta because if shidous incapacitated in any way someone's dying, mahiru is prone to dying any moment, fuuta is prone to cult mindset rn). Despite my non japanese speaking ass not being able to gather direct evidence for this, I use those surrounding me (asian in asian country) as evidence; namely, how they're mostly amane guilty voters
-Now I'm not saying my personal take but the reason given for guilting her is well. As much as it will cause her more woe it's one way of guaranteeing the safety of the prison. Shidou is the only medical professional after all, and she's "completely hostile" towards him, acc to jackalope. And she doesn't need to overpower him; shes smart, and could sabotage his equipment or just like. Go for his hands to incapacitate him. I doubt he'd fight back.
-Alternatively, it's because it would cause her to fall back on believing she's right. Telling her she's forgiven with how she's acting would cause her to believe her persistance and dedication to this (harmful) mindset is what got her forgiven in the first place
-Meanwhile more western? English fanbase ig I'm not too sure of demographic, but the English speaking side tends to focus on how it affects her. Because of the belief that another guilty verdict will cause more harm to her, an innocent verdict is the obvious solution. What I've seen is the greater focus on what caused the murder over the murder itself and the effects of an innocent verdict on others and then her beliefs. A focus on the past over what she's promised to do in the present and future perhaps. Idk.
-Another reason for the difference could. Possibly be how punishment is viewed? Western countries have much more stigma over any form of punishment but in Asian countries it's normal. Now while I'd say physical punishment isn't the way to go, the refusal of punishment shouldn't be rewarded (imo) but that's all I'll say on it.
-The English fanbase also focuses a lot on how young amane is and how her circumstances were terrible and all that. Those around me tend to focus more on her thoughts around the crime, what she believes the crime was for and how in the right she thinks she is. This may also be the cause of the moral grandstanding I see so often (ie. If you vote amane guilty you're a baaad person) (I don't agree with this btw. That's stupid this is fiction don't insult others over an opinion)
What I will say is the English speaking side is more sympathetic towards amane. They (y'all?) Take her situation into a lot of consideration, and focus on her age as a large factor. Whereas those around me and I assume might be close to the views of the japanese fanbase are more objective, looking at what harm she could cause and what's the greater of the two evils, as well as what she's going to do with the verdict (ie. Use the inno verdict as her doctrines are correct and very right).
There's slight thought given to her age and circumstance of course, by it that's not the main concern rn. Given the current situation, most of my milgram voting friends stay certain that an innocent verdict will not end well, hence the guilty vote. I mean I have a couple friends that feel bad for guiltying her because of her circumstance, but do it anyway cuz it's for the better. My opinion is that she should've been innocent trial one, since we wouldn't have known the concequences, but it's too late now and an innocent will cause more harm overall
tldr asian fanbase from experience focus on the crime itself + what they're gonna do with that experience whereas eng speaking fanbase focus on the circumstances surrounding the crime and on judging only the crime
In myyy opinion. Judging only the crime based on your interpretation isn't how the system should be working, it should take into consideration the prisoners' attitudes and how the prisoner perceives the crime as well.
I hope this was coherent I typed it out at 11pm and went to bed immediately after and I've barely edited anything cuz awake me is less coherent than half asleep me
Also hope this was an interesting post? This topic is interesting to me but I explain better in speaking over typing so it's probably hard to read but I hope this topic scritches y'all's brains like it does mine :)
#milgram#amane momose#inder the cut to save space kekw#sorry if this post feels like im calling yall lab rats cuz i kinda am#treating the milgram tag like a giant social studies exam (i have not passed social studies this year)#ive done my beat to compare bur i lost half my thoughts while typing this out last night whoops#ive also done my best to be comprehensible but i have too many thoughts at the same time for that#alsp for the record im an amane neutral voter (i dont vote)#j have another point on the age thing about how while eng side takes young age into consideration#it also overstates the maturity of our older prisoners (shidou namely#as ive seen people say that medical guilt theory doesnt work cuz of how extreme his guilt is#of which belongs to a different post but basically dude hes only 29 thats not that old. also to lose everything at any age is devastating#moral grandstanding point may be more indicative of internet culture overall btw but i cant get data on that for jp fans#sorry for being incomrpehensible i jusy talk like this#also very important no insulting anyone in rbs. even if its not me. thats rude#long post#i have a great disdain for people who claim amane guilty voters are evil btw. respect others online ffs#anyways next post will be about shidou and theories around him#specifically my hatred for the organ harvesting theory and my proposed alternate theories#but rhat will be the next time im tired and insane#im also posting this relatively unedited so i dont chicken out 💥 im trusting yall

a bit of a mild milgram fan (i adore the music and music videos but i still havent checked out a lot of the dramas but i still vote because i like being involved LOL) and i feel like giving my unsolicited opinions on season 2 so far. even though it makes perfect sense based off what i see from the fanbase that Futa was voted innocent BUT as someone who was largely neutral but uninterested (aside from his awesome song) in his character in season 1, season 2 made me actually really REALLY like him but in particular way where i want to see that little twerp squirm so im SO sad no one else voted him guilty q-q i WANTED to see him suffer for the NARRATIVE
also I think Mu should be voted innocent because she slays
#shes a bug queen. its okay. vote her innocent now#actually i was also largely neutral on Mu in the first trial too now that i think about#all the ones i wasnt that interested in are really pulling out all the punches this trial#also it was hard but i couldnt stop myself. i still voted haruka innocent. listen hes LITERALLY neurodivergent and a minor its okay#also yuno is still innocent but thats just a given#not sure which way im going with shidou yet#his song is awesome#again i was largely neutral on him in the first trial like i liked his design with the moles#and his song was fun even though i keep thinking about the class of 3000 song#like i think i was like eh. he seems very polite. innocent#actually i will say. im very lenient when it comes to stuff like this LOL 99% of the time im like#well they said what they did was justified. so sure#i would be a horrible judge. your honor my defense is i made a little oopsy. and id be like well. maybe theyre right#maybe a murder is a little oopsy. i find the defendant not guilty#anyway shidou's children are blowing my mind for some reason. it was obvious he had a dead significant other but KIDS i didnt expect#i dunno why that made me like him way more. dad mode. dads throwing down
