Lol I'm saddened and amused by how true this is.

Don’t curse the moon because the sun has set.
Reach for its cold light
and give it your heat
For when it has melted away,
leaving your hands cold and dry,
the sun will rise,
and you will bathe in its warmth.

-- The Fire, final stanza

Take all that I give, because you give it to me,
since two are the one it brings both of us glee.
Consume all my love, never fear you’ll do pain,
for truth of one’s self is never heart’s bane.

-- Holy Guradian Angel (a quote, not full poem)

@mrmcmayhem@noagendasocial.com also if you "live a life that's unproductive and are a leach that doesn't want to be tracked down" that is no excuse to have your legal right to vote blocked. If you are a citizen you have a right to vote, period.

By the way I'm an expat who is an american citizen. I have a constitutional right to vote but have no need for an american ID of any kind. I am not a freeloader and dont really care if people can track me down or not. But it would cost me over a thousand dollars every time I wanted to renew my ID since I'd have to fly back to the USA

@mrmcmayhem@noagendasocial.com No democrat voter has specifically complained about needing an ID at 30, nor have they complained about the burden on themselves personally. The argument from the democrats has always consistently been that ID laws would unduly restrict the destitute, poor, homeless, and the older retired population from being able to vote. I think it should be rather obvious why that is the case.

I am not arguing for or against ID laws here mind you. But if you want my stance its simple. Require IDs, sure, but ALSO make obtaining IDs absolutely free, and not require an address. If someone doesnt have the paper work like a birth certificate but legally is allowed one that process would also need to be free. IF all of that is true then ID laws make perfect sense, if not then obviously ID laws would infringe on the right of many citizens to vote.

@leeb@mastodon.technology If all you intalled on it was grub and nothing else youd still have a better OS than windows :)

@leeb@mastodon.technology So sexy, well aside from that windows sticker :)

@mrmcmayhem@noagendasocial.com There are many people I know, particularly older, who dont have an id. My grandmother only had a birth certificate till the day she died. It is most typically a house wife, in my expiernce, who relies on her husbands ID for most of the needs that require an ID like a home lone or a bank account.

Its simple, if your married and dont drive, there really arent many things you need an ID for if you SO has one.

@leeb@mastodon.technology Sweet, I need one!

@leeb@mastodon.technology What is this?

Story of my fucking life right there...

@js290

By that logic everyone who is in a marriage (without a pre-nup) is a communist because they live in a commune of 2.

@Liberty4Masses

@js290 communist at the commune level is not communism. If you voluntarily share your goods with others (you are not forced to live in the commune or forced to follow it rules) then it isnt communism. Just because you live in a communal fashion it isnt communism. The second you make it voluntary to contribute it simply isnt communism, almost by definition.

@Liberty4Masses

This was the song my grandfather used to sing to me as kid. He used to sing it with his army buddies during World War II.

In days of old, when knights were bold,
And barons held their sway,
A warrior bold, with spurs of gold,
Sang merrily his lay;
Sang merrily his lay:
“My love is young and fair,
My love hath golden hair,
And eyes so blue, and heart so true,
That none with her compare.
So what care I tho’ death be nigh,
I’ll live for love or die.
So what care I, tho’ death be nigh,
I’ll live for love or die.”

So this brave knight, in armor bright,
Went gayly to the fray;
He fought the fight, but ere the night,
His soul had pass’d away,
His soul had pass’d away.
The plighted ring he wore
Was crush’d and wet with gore,
Yet ere he died, he bravely cried,
“I’ve kept the vow I swore.
So what care I tho’ death be nigh,
I’ve fought for love and die,
So what care I, tho’ death be nigh,
I’ve fought for love, for love I die
I’ve fought for love,
For love, for love I die.”
