Warning: you will get texted so use your disposal number.

With all the news about citizens discovering their voter status has been lapsed, and new rules for being a voter, everyone should check.

But also, sometimes you forget. I have new neighbors who finished moving a month ago, and when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren’t.

You get an SMS so use a spam phone number

The USian system is so bizarre.

Here in Brazil everybody HAS to register when turning 18. The registration can get suspended if you miss an election without justification, but you get a fine for each time.

Voting is not a right, it's a duty.

ByteOnBikes OP ,

Absolutely!

It’s in the core fabric of the American system. Yet some conspiracy theory has made voting and the right to vote a difficult process.

Serious question: Is this legit? Elon and his Nazi buddies are running fake voter registration sites

From the about page it looks like it’s a non profit that does not enforse or support candidates or parties, they claim to only try and work on erasing the barriers between voters and the act of voting

ByteOnBikes OP ,

Yep!

In the political side for nonprofits, there are clear rules of what you can do or not do. So a nonprofit with the goal of getting people to vote should not lean left or right.

In the one I volunteered at a decade ago for gay rights, each volunteer had to sign that they are simply pushing the issue forward, not promoting a particular politician or party. It was pretty freaking clear what party we were aligned with, but we couldn’t actively tell people to go vote for X or Y, only that here’s what party X has shared about the issue, while party Y hasn’t given us any comment about it.

Vote.org is an classic site for voter registration. It has existed many years

That doesn’t answer the question.

Domains can expire, be sold, have their hosting (nameservers) changed…etc it’s very conceivable given the current climate that it could be a malicious site used for data exfiltration from prospective voters. The security posture, if any, of the owner are also unknown, meaning it may be unknowingly compromised.

Especially when you have people willing to drop tens of millions of dollars on voter suppression.

Plain and simple, don’t enter your personal information into a 3rd party site. Is your official government provided ones for this purpose.

Catoblepas ,

If you don’t want to give a random site your information (good practice), scroll down and select your state from the drop down menu and it’ll direct you to your state government’s official website to check your registration. I actually had to enter less info than vote.org was asking for to check mine, lol.

ByteOnBikes OP ,

Sorry non-Americans that the American political landscape is a shit show. I hope you’re enjoying the popcorn.

Do other countries eat popcorn?

Buffalox , (edited )

Yes people of many/most countries do.
There are different ways, some places they put salt on, others put sugar on, cheese is also popular, and I think Americans use butter.
Personally I’d love if we could have something more spicy.

owatnext ,

I’ve witnessed people in America using salt, sugar, and butter. Sometimes all three. Personally I just do a dusting of nutritional yeast, it gives it a cheesy flavor.

I also like nutritional yeast on popcorn. Sometimes i will do curry powder instead.

JimmyBigSausage ,

Great for helping develop those yeast infections.

Today ,

We use it for making vegan queso. Never thought of putting it on popcorn.

Popping corn, coconut oil, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and chipotle powder.

Buffalox ,

Sounds great, maybe I should try to make them myself, instead of buying them for the microwave.

Is chipotle normally super hot, or is it just Jalapnos? I like it hot, but not SUPER hot.

FlightyPenguin ,
@FlightyPenguin@lemmy.world avatar

It’s riper, smoked jalapeno, so a bit hotter, but not by an order of magnitude.

Buffalox ,

Ooh that sounds really nice then. 👍😀
I’ll have to see if it’s available here.

ByteOnBikes OP ,

Sugar on popcorn? Wow!

I’ve been sprinkling spicy pepper flakes. Oil, spice, salt and pepper… Chefs kiss.

Bonesince1997 ,

Kettle corn is a sweet popcorn. Have you tried it?

Today ,

I had exchange friends in high school and they were as freaked out by salt as i was by sugar. I like kettle because it’s the best of both.

While Amercia exports shit show, they offset it with another export: caramel popcorn

ByteOnBikes OP ,

I’ve never been prouder to export our caramel freedom. 🫡
