- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed.

This is one of those times were you just gotta roll with the hourminutes. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Too poor for recreational drugs. And too medicated. I'm afraid all I have is exhaustion, paranoia, anxiety, and terror for the next 36 hours or so.
Looks like you picked the RIGHT week to start sniffing glue
Yep, Charlie Kelly time— huff glue, eat cat food and straight to pass out until it’s all over.
Do we get to play nightcrawlers?
Of course we’ll play nightcrawlers!
Let's be real, is there ever a wrong week?
You'll see me in line. Limping my ass down to my assign polling place and filling out the ballot there. Hail Mary, Full of Grace.
I wonder if Jupiter is still accepting sacrifices...?
You know as well as anyone, sacrifices are addressed "to whom it concerns"
Hah, it is awfully auspicious that I posted that not long ago, huh? Quocumque nomine...
There's organizing. There's supporting and defending each other.
I feel like 36 hours would be quick compared to what we'll actually get.
I hear you. I was getting way too worked up about it as well. I've reduced my phone time as best I can, got some physical activity in, and tried to focus on some hobbies. It has really been helping but it took a couple days to take effect. I'm sure that you have or will be voting. Just do your part and then try to occupy yourself with other things.
I've tried occupying myself this whole time. I actually managed it. Just a sense of dread in the back of my head, no active, debilitating terror. But it's falling apart now that everything's so close. It was easy to kill when the election was far, and I could see it abstractly. But now it's here, and I don't have enough faith in my fellow Americans to be confident. I'm glad Harris's team is, I just hope it means something.
I just want to not wake up in a fascist regime.
