I played video games and went to bed. Didn't even check any social media. My night was chill as fuck. After voting, no point in stressing over the things I couldn't control.

My first time since I started voting that I don't obsess all night over the results. Played some Vidya, watched some TV with the Mrs, honestly life is better this way

Generally speaking the less you pay attention to politics the better off you'll be, especially given the state of political discourse these days.

Lol, what utter shit. People who don't care about politics have their well-being determined by politicians. That, and they choose not to know much of anything which is pathetic in itself.

Yeah, once I ate dinner, I just tuned in to some friends' streams and drew on my phone a bit. Before I knew it, it was 3am. Did some cursory glances to get a feel for the situation, but otherwise went to bed soon after. Much as I do care, I'm not changing anything outside of Ohio. And Ohio obviously doesn't want to change itself.

And yet you still refuse to vote

Stressing out over shit that I have absolutely zero control over (i.e literally any election outside of the Pacific coast) does me no good. Keeping oneself generally apprised of the situation yeah sure, but wasting any more than the bare minimum of time and energy on it is a discredit to my mental health.

And yeah coming from the dude who bitches 24/7 about it but refuses to vote, ok buddy

I had no clue this fucker was running for a school board. So happy to see he got absolutely eviscerated.

You don't see the irony of your sacred and unimpeachable concept of voting. Is really weak to lean so hard on such a crutch as the basis of your reasoning.

You'd be hard pressed to find anything close to how many people die from alcohol compared to psychedelics (without being inflated with other drug overdoses and accidents).

The first option was a death knell for small businesses and they were right to vote it down

I am just guessing here, but nowadays it could be more to do with small businesses than "alcohol is the devil" (though that's probably why it first existed).

CT was like that when I lived there (dunno if it still is). Package stores were all over the place there and usually run by mom and pops. So putting it in the grocery store pretty much guarantees most, if not all, of those places end up going out of business.

Also alcohol preys on people with depression, mushrooms actually help them.

plenty of wine shops here in California despite it also being sold in grocery stores

Same here in MN. It's not so much the grocery stores that threaten small businesses, it's the big box stores like Total Wine that price them out of the market.
