For what it’s worth, (and I don’t know how much that is right now) Snopes says that DC Blackout is a hoax.  I can’t do much more than that, because I barely know what sources to trust in my own country, let alone America. But snopes hasn’t steered me wrong before. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/washington-dc-blackout/

Stay calm everyone. Misinformation can and will come from both sides. If anything if it is a hoax (and I’m personally thinking it is) it would be an excellent scare tactic. People are frightened, but fear is the mind killer. Acknowledge it, and try to see past it.  I won’t post anymore about this because I think it would be irresponsible of me, as a non-US amateur, to do so.

Less drinking more thinking

When you are happy, you take drink ! First , you take drink and then drink takes YOU

Life is too beautiful ( like your friend's and family's smiles ) to waste it with tears of you and your dear ones , all upon a intoxication report!

Smoking is harming

Drinking is disgusting & to die young is a pity

Nowadays , drinking is a trend

Got something to celebrate ? Let's pop up bottles of drinks!!

And it's also a standard now too ( not surprisingly enough though!!)

Wait! What?! You don't drink ?!??

Then lemme tell you won't be considered sopsticated or cool and et cetera , et cetera!!

◆ I am not against drinking

Sometimes it's okay too drink but in a limit and mannered way.

I don't judge you for drinking so don't judge me for not drinking.

Its not my problem you drink,

My problem is when you drink AND you create problems for others on the roads, your body is definetely your choice , but please try not to create your troubles for others .

Many drink cause they are sad , unknown about other’s troubles and struggles,unwillingly mostly causing others troubles

So be careful while you do what you want and try not to mess someone else’s life

And some people are like,

“ I finally stopped drinking for good & now I drink for evil”

Watching the American Election today I was struck by just how fucked their voting system is. Hillary would have won an Australian Election.

Not only do you have First Past the Post, which elects whoever gets the biggest number even if the majority of the country didn’t vote for them, but you have it twice.  The Electoral College means no matter how close the race is in each state, the winner takes all the points rather than it being distributed proportionally. And then it’s winner take all via majority electoral votes. I just. Fucking hell. 

For contrast in Australia you can have the first count look like this, out of 110 votes: Dems: 40 Reps: 50 Other: 20

The Greens have lost so you discount their vote entirely, and recount it using the Green Voters’ second preference, which is often Democrat and you end up with: Dems: 60

Reps: 50

And Dems win. So all those states where Hillary lost because of some third party fuckers? Their vote would have likely gone to her as their second preference. It would be like their first choice never happened. She would have won. 

And you still would have made your ‘moral statement’ or whatever. That’s what a protest vote is. A protest vote is not ‘punish my party by taking away crucial votes to make a point and pray they win anyway’ That’s cutting off your nose to spite your face and fucking stupid.

A protest vote is ‘oy, we don’t like what you’re doing so we’re gonna tell you so by not being my first choice.’

And I know because I’ve done it my damn self.  A few years ago when Julia Gillard was running I was so pissed off with both Labor and Liberal and their bullshit I voted Green. As a result Gillard got in with a lot of Green seats in the senate. Now that turned out to be a problem because the Greens went a bit nuts and wouldn’t let her pass shit on the refugees but it was overall quite good.

And Julia Gillard, a woman I still hold up as the best damn PM in my lifetime, still won.

Good job third party voters. You fucked up. You were told.
