According to the Constitution, there's no such thing as a false elector. There is not supposed to be a popular vote. Electors are meant to be free to vote for whoever they deem fit. The fact that every single state has now instituted popular votes for POTUS does not change the fact that the founding fathers intended electors to be free to vote as they see fit.

You conflate puberty with the age of consent.

Yes, with the major difference being that Bing is a cringy awful name, whereas Bink is a fun anagram of kbin.

The bill wouldn't have been considered in the first place if all Texan cities would stick to Texan values. The problem is a bunch of them don't want to. Ideally, legislation like this wouldn't be needed. Texans need to learn that "love it or leave it" applies to Texas just as much as it does the whole US.

The sidebar also ignores bans. It's just a proof-of-concept.

Last time this happened I edited to add something like "Edit: This is a bad response. See below." and then downvoted it. If you edit too much, the rest of the conversation won't make sense anymore.

But agreed, posts with no upvotes look so sad and unloved!

Es wäre einfacher, Deutsch lesen zu lernen, als Beiträge in anderen Sprachen zu verbergen.

It's the default on reddit because you should like your own content in almost all cases.

I do it too, though I'll then change it to a downvote if I say something which is later demonstrated to be wrong.

I think @BaldProphet's right about blocking being one-way, but I'm not sure.

In any case, I don't want to block anyone because then I'd be unable to moderate anything they might post to my magazines.

Yep. Personally I'd put stalking under questionable.

It's usually a creepy thing to do, but there might be cases where you just want to look out for someone's safety, so you follow them. Usually that's not a stalker's goal, but it varies. If the stalking results in an assault, robbery, or any other crime, that's certainly not okay! But the stalking itself was just questionable until that happened.

Note that if you follow someone online, which is a feature built into kbin, that's stalking. And there's really nothing wrong with it, unless you follow someone just to downvote all of their contributions.

One of our main lessons from the Bible is the primary importance of faith in God. Faith really matters to God, and it's extraordinarily healthy for us to maintain faith. That fact impacts most of what you wrote, so it's important for you to spend some time understanding it.

I do not need to "prove" God exists (although there's proof everywhere you look, and many well-known philosophers have written book-length formal proofs, but also scientific theories can only be disproven, not proven) because we know God exists via faith, which is stronger than any proof. Likewise, we know that the Bible is the true inerrant word of God because we have faith. It's unshakable. God gets to establish the rules, not us.

Once you understand faith, and you allow yourself to develop it, ask Christ for forgiveness and salvation, and you will be filled with the Holy Spirit. You will no longer doubt God, nor His word. You will realize you've been blind all these years to the copious evidence of God everywhere we look.

You come across as if you're struggling with a giant void in your heart, and you're plagued by demons. I was there once too. Nihilism and emptiness seemed normal, especially when you've surrounded yourself with others who are just as lost. But you are a child of God, and He wants you to turn towards Him. Once you stop doubting and questioning Him, and gain His salvation, you will be given the strength to overcome your sins.
