I sorta wanna pre-poll and rock up on polling day for the sausage. Is this unpatriotic?

Got my postal vote. Democracy will occur after breakfast

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I wish I could vote early but I don't meet any of the categories. I want to do my democracy now!

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

When I voted early last time, all they asked was, "Are you eligible to vote early?"

I said yes and then they gave me the papers.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Hey, do you and the fam want to come camping in Wombat state forest the weekend of the election?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

The eligibility reasons to postal vote or vote early are not strictly enforced.

You could say you're travelling on May 3rd (even though you don't have firm plans to do so just yet...) you would be far from the only one making the same claim.

You don't need to provide proof.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

You can go vote early. I did mine yesterday and have been doing it for the last 3 elections.

They'll ask you if you meet the eligibility, just say yes and that's it.

If you need a reason just say you're out of the state at that time.

I'm still a bit surprised (though not unpleasantly) at the little microcosm of activity that these daily threads have.

There's a question I've been asking people for a while, might as well ask here too: what gets you up in the morning?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

At this point: money

And not letting people down I guess

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Sadly it's work and getting a car park that gets me up in the morning.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

In a literal sense it's any one of these things: some noisy birds, my alarm, a plane flying low or loudly, my partner going outside for a cigarette. In a non literal sense it's a kind of strength and persistence of attitude which propels my life force ever onwards despite the efforts of my detractors lol.

Responsibility. Wahh.

This is such a fun space to be in ๐Ÿ˜€

Same but I think I have a lazy bladder. It can hold a big wee but it'll wake me and complain when there's a tiny one loaded and ready to go. I don't put my red bin out every week because It's often empty or only has one bag in it so I figure why waste the trucks time. I need my bladder to get with that system.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That little fuzzy feeling in the morning when you wake up and you're nice and warm and snug and then you realise the reason you woke up is because you need a piss. ๐Ÿ˜ก

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So I hop too hoping to catch a lil more zzz and go to the toilet then a fucking teaspoon of wee comes out and I don't get back to sleep. >: |

It's been a good week now since I have had to deal with any people receiving DM spam. I don't want to jinx it, but we may have weathered that particular storm.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

If you miss it I could send a few your way.
