Yeah, I’ve been using PayPal and AirBnB for years but if they ever start req… excuse me, WHEN they start requiring government ID I’m out.
I never tried Stripe

Haha yeah, good bit.
I just wanted to be clear that just because we’re both going to deny the election results if we lose doesn’t mean we’re at all similar in other regards.
Sorry if I was a little defensive. Lot of “BWAH I DONT LIKE THIS” in the comments but zero “Actually I think we’ll just say ‘Well done Donnie, enjoy being president. See you in four years.’. Not even “Well if HE wins then it actually WILL have been rigged so of course we’ll call it that.”. All " boo” no content

Fair. I didn’t invent them. I could backronym them maybe. Grumpy Old Party and Workers Matter Party?

Heh, fair. I do think 9999/10,000 is about right but I don’t know you enough to trust you enough to make odds.
Tell you what. One sided free money bet. If you claim WMP will just say “Well, guess we lost this one” and not say the race was rigged (is this your claim? You still haven’t claimed it yet I think) I’ll come back in November with a post titled “CoggyMcFee I’m Calling You Out!” linking this post.
If Biden wins, so much the better for the world. If GOP doesn’t accept it we’re both winners, no trade. If GOP accepts it we’re both losers, no trade.
If Trump wins, God help us, and WMP just says “Congratulations, hope we win next time” I’ll give $500 to your favorite charity, or half that to anyone I can’t write off, yourself included.
If Trump wins and WMP says the election was rigged, well, you haven’t agreed to anything and owe me nothing. If you feel honor bound, my charity is OSI the Open Space Institute.

If I forget call my ass out. If Trump wins frankly we have bigger problems but I’ll pay.
Haha Democrats
We’re WMP Republicans are GOP. Probably stands for something but just shorthand
Not sure “lecturing” is accurate but sure, I’ll allow it.
For the record, is it your claim that if Trump wins, we will just accept it as the results of a free and fair election? Just “Welp, guess the voters were in your favor this time Donnie. Good game. We’ll try to bring it in four years!” right?
Also for the record we agree that Trump could get no states and 30% of the popular vote and still say it was fixed and he should have won right? Honestly that’s the result I predict most likely so the experiment will likely be of no value. Just saying.
Its a prediction not an argument
Under no circumstances will we see the truth of both predictions
Hopefully Biden will win and we’ll see whether the GOP accepts it. That would be the evidence for half.
If God forbid Trump wins, we’ll have evidence whether the WMP accepts it. That would be evidence for the other half.
I would LOVE to be wrong, but sometimes that’s how the human scientific process works. We make a prediction THEN look at the evidence to see if we were right
Fair point. Some things are unacceptable and those things… well… shouldn’t be accepted.
Huh?
I don’t know if you’re really defending the GOP here, but even though neither of us will accept losing, let’s see:
They don’t respect trans people
They don’t respect women’s rights
They don’t want to help the poor…
But tell me more about them being the same as us because we both won’t accept election results
I will eat my dick if Trump wins and the WMP says “Well, fair play. I guess he got the votes. Good race Donny, hope we do better in four years”
There are very important differences and I am NOT saying both sides are the same generally. I sincerely hope Trump loses. But one thing in common: Neither side will accept losing.
If Biden wins, the GOP will say the election was rigged.
If Trump wins, the WMP will say the election was rigged.
100.00% chance
Thanks! I’ll talk to my dentist about it at my next appointment.
Yeah, it seems like complaining about government provided WiFi.
“What if I don’t WANT my kids on the internet dangit!?”
Sorry, you misunderstand. I don’t rely on a municipal well, and adding fluoride to private wells isn’t a thing AFAIK.
That’s why as a child I had fluoride treatments. It would have been easier to just get it in the water, but tradeoffs. My kids get them too.
I was wondering about the fluoride treatments being child only or whether there were adult benefits.
Ok so seems clear to me there’s no real harm, but is there alleged benefit for adults? I’ve never had to rely on a municipal well so as a kid I had fluoride treatments and used fluoridated paste, but always thought it was just for kids. Is there benefit for me as a 40yo (with no cavities if it matters)?
I think people hate vegans more than veganism. The most annoying x% makes the other (100-x)% look bad
Choose your own x I don’t want dunks from either side lol
That sucks. Sorry you have to deal with that.
