What's New....?

@Freezer I checked out your youtube channel recently, seems you’re a bit of a fan of Monkey Ball.

The latest game ‘Banana Mania’ recently has been revealing a bunch of guest characters like Sonic and Tails, Kiriyu from the Yakuza series… and according to Geoff Keighley, they’re going to reveal another guest character in tonight’s Gamescom event.

You excited for any of these as a fan? Or is it just all about the courses for you? (I ask this as a non-fan. I’ve never played a Monkey Ball game heh)

It’s three month now since my dog died and today I received the message that there could be a new dog for me. She’s in Russia and now I have to wait for the okay and it if get it, I will get a new dog :pleading_face::heart: I was so depressed the last month because I miss my dog so much and especially the long walks and going out with her. It gave me structure and helped me with my mental health. I’m so happy that I hopefully willl get a new one! Please keep your fingers crossed that I can get her :crossed_fingers::pray:

Edit:

That’s her :heart: I hope I can call her my dog soon :pray:

Flew down to Orlando for the Betty Who and Kesha show! Betty was better than Kesha but we expected that. Kesha was still really fun.


Coolest Dad ever! That girl is like 8.

Got the first dose of Pfizer earlier today. I’m not feeling any side effects yet, but I’d imagine I’ll probably feel something tommorow like I did with the flu shot last year. Although, for some reason my vision looks like this? Weird.

I also got a surprise call from the orthodontist. They said that somebody cancelled their appointment so I’m taking their place today. I would’ve had to wait till October for the appointment if they didn’t cancel. So I guess I got pretty lucky, especially considering that I probably would’ve had my braces by now if it wasn’t for covid, because I was put on the priority list to get them.

Small update.
They named her Adelle and she is quite funny little puppy :slight_smile:
But she still needs to get used to new people and new places.
She lived in a dog kennel all her life and haven’t seen anything beyond.
So she needs to adapt to the real world.
I assume she will live partially with my mom and her husband and with us, just like our late Sonya.
And a pic:



Also I’ve been invited to a new workplace for a week of internship so we can see if I like them and they like me.
If the chemistry is right, yet a month of “extended” internship ahead, and then I’ll become an official employee.
Busy days starting Monday

I found this 1960s American voter suppression tactic online, I haven’t met someone who has passed it.


Keep in mind there are two more pages and you can’t get a single one wrong.

My US history teacher gave us a literacy voting test in high school. I can’t remember if it was that one or from another state/time period.

A bunch a snotty, well read (notice I didn’t say intelligent), private school kids and I only 1/2 of us passed the test :joy:

Half? Your teacher went easy on you, I can stop you from voting on the very first question alone.

Haha, ok I’ll bite. What’s your answer for Q1?

1 Like

You would have circled it. The question says draw a line around, the proctor would say that you circled it hence you couldn’t understand the question so no vote for you.

Draw a non closed or half-circle? The proctor says you drew a curve that isn’t a line so no vote again.

Underline it? Then he says it is not a line around so you can just go home. You can’t draw a rounded line in a non-geometric sense and most African-Americans wouldn’t know about non-Euclidian geometry so they have no grounds to challenge the proctor.

Circled the A? He meant the one prefacing the question. Circled the one? He meant the “A” is the answer he has.

Absolutely, the test invalidates itself on the basis that you cannot draw a line around anything.

That is the point, the questions are written poorly on purpose. When they aren’t intentionally vague and confusing, they are full of open-ended, gotcha language.

The other hidden aim of these “tests” was to also take up the time the voters had. I bet you Louisiana made every entrant sit the full ten minutes even if the person finished early.

The boundary of a circle is a line. It’s just one that connects back to itself. I would have circled the 1 but, bc it says do nothing more and nothing less, I would have been careful to not also circle the full stop directly after the 1.
:joy:

Anyway the point of the exercise was to show us how absolutely insane the literacy voting tests were.
