I'm probably going to avoid it tomorrow. Hoping to catch the result Weds maybe.

Unfortunately for my sanity over here in UTC+9, I can't just sleep through the whole thing. I'm hopeful that work will be busy enough tomorrow that I won't have time to think about it. What I also know is that it's most likely going to get drawn out longer, so I won't likely be specifically watching anywhere, but just picking up occasional US news somewhat accidentally along the way (either here or via fark). I voted as soon as I could print my overseas ballot and get it in the mail so I've done all I can do.
From the burnt end of a blunt and the bottom of a bottle lol
Ill wait till lemmy starts bitching about it.
The restaurant I work for is hosting the mayor and a city counselor to watch the elections live with another 100 guests, so I'll be watching from the kitchen...

Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.

From the safety of my bunker.
The county assessors site for everything state and local. I will briefly check national, but I dont need the pageantry of network television to rile me up anymore than I already am.
After asking a similar question on this channel a few days ago, I think we're going to watch the coverage on NBC, unless I find something better on YouTube.
Cue all the comments about the final results not being available tomorrow night...

Tbh, I got a lot of work to do. I will probably just check the news that night or wait for someone to tell me.

Some More News livestream after ingesting 10 mg of cannabis
I'm gonna watch the Some More News crew livestream and drink a lot
Either at a partisan gathering or curled up under my bed in the fetal position while my dogs lick my tears, depending on how things look tomorrow evening
returns?
Oops. Thanks
It's kind of an obsolete vernacular
You're not wrong though. Poll returns are what you get gradually until all votes are reported. Results are the final results of the election.
Resulta?
Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick!
Happens to everyone. Thx for fixing! :)
Two possible scenarios:
-
OP’s autocorrect wrote “returns” when they meant for the post to say “results”, in reference to the U.S. election
-
OP knows that the rapture is happening tomorrow when the pious souls will return to Heaven
There's a difference between poll returns and election results. Returns are "as they happen" and get updated. Results are final.

I like the second scenario best tbh, even if it entails me burning in hell for the rest of eternity.
Don’t worry, the first scenario also could produce hell on earth for the rest of eternity as well
Sounds like an improvement.
I don't know. I've been enjoying the late decadence of western civilization, to be perfectly honest. It could get worse, sure, but can you imagine anything more boring than having our collective survival as a species guaranteed?
I can't.
