Goddamnit, this election is stressing me out like a Red Devils football game

Question: if a function is assigned to a variable as in var fredley = function() { console.log('Brexit was a great idea which I voted for'); }, what's difference between fredley() and fredley.call()?

That's probably very bad news for Trump, thank god

Sterno

My coach always said give 110%. I won't be satisified until 110% of registered voters vote.

murgatroid99

@Yuuki I think the primary difference is that you can use call to call the function in the context of a different this object

Sterno

@Arperum This is the kind of horror 2016 has brought us.

Nzall

21:05

@Sterno Aaand that would be voter fraud

Tim Stone

@murgatroid99 Yeah, I don't think there's any other meaningful difference here

Sterno

@Nzall If voting multiple times is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Arperum

@jimrosenfield @NBCPhiladelphia was going to vote for Trump but Trump was unglued and filed a lawsuit in Clark County Nevada, sore loser

@Nzall Right?

murgatroid99

@TimStone Considering that thisArg is the only required argument to call, it definitely looks like that is the point

Yuuki

21:07

@Nzall Hey, look at this way. It's more like baseball. The Cubs haven't won the World Series since... goddammit.

Arperum

that's the best possible result of his bullshit sueing.

GodEmperorDune

i can't believe he didn't release his taxes

i mean all the shit that he pulled

future candidates can use "well trump did it" as an excuse

Tim Stone

Not if he loses bigly

Politicians only like winning strategies

user15026

@Sterno Is that a hotdog between two pieces of chicken?

Yuuki

@Ash I dunno, it looks more like a hotdog between one piece of chicken.

Sterno

21:11

What's stupid is that of all the things to file a lawsuit for, "staying open later to let people vote" is the dumbest

Tim Stone

And honestly most other people would have a hard time detaching themselves so effectively from reality

Sterno

@Ash Yes, though we're unclear on how exactly "hotdog" is defined here

Tim Stone

@Sterno Yeah, it's really dumb. Apparently North Carolina's board of elections will meet later to consider doing the same thing

Sterno

It just seems like a literal case of "Well, we're not saying anything bad or wrong actually happened, we just really don't want those people's votes to count"

I mean, usually they at least try to at least dress it up.

Arperum

@TimStone wat.

GodEmperorDune

21:13

@TimStone north Carolina Worst Carolina

Sterno

Flip side: "Rules are rules" cc: half of Arqade

GodEmperorDune

although the stunt they pulled with the trans bathroom bill might be about to backfire tremendously

Tim Stone

@GodEmperorDune No, sorry

I meant that they're meeting to consider letting the polls stay open later

Not that they're meeting to file a lawsuit about the polls staying open later

That'll be the NC GOP, who apparently lack all common sense

Arperum

@GodEmperorDune xD

user15026

@GodEmperorDune ?

KutuluMike

I always found that having polls that close at 7pm on a weekday an hour's drive from where I work is a fundamentally stupid idea

Sterno

@GodEmperorDune Just let this joke die

Tim Stone

@KevinvanderVelden It's a super huge voter suppression/inequality/funding thing :/

GodEmperorDune

21:16

@Sterno its a good joke starno

Tim Stone

It took me less than 3 minutes to check in, vote, and leave

Yuuki

There's a proposal somewhere to merge Election Day with Veterans' Day. The idea being that we honor the sacrifice of veterans by exercising the right to vote that they defended and also it's already a national holiday so people can have the entire day to vote.

Tim Stone

But I live in a wealthy area with little political competition

Sterno

Gov't should just disable your cell phone until you vote. 90% voter turnout guaranteed

@Yuuki Except for all the places that are still open anyway

GodEmperorDune

@Ash north Carolina made that law that trans people had to go to the birth gender bathroom, a lot of businesses and conferences and sports events boycotted, economy tanked, now is the chance for the voters to kick the people that did it out of power

Sterno

21:18

Hell, if daycare was closed on election day, there's no way I'd try to vote

Stand in line with a 4 year old and 2 year old for 3+ hours at a polling place? No thanks, I'll take Trump

@Sterno trump will date your kids in about 10 years

NOW BREXIT, FOOL!

Sterno

Now we just need no one to need a doctor on election day

Tim Stone

djsmiley2k

i'm sure it'll be fine

Tim Stone

Yeah, I got to take mine with me it was so easy

Sterno

21:20

@TimStone 3 minutes, though. 3 MINUTES

Tim Stone

Which makes people having to wait around half the day not knowing when they can get to work etc just horrible :/

@Sterno Oh no, you're absolutely right. Just saying it's bullshit that anyone has to wait

Yuuki

@Sterno Well, we could Brexit and then people will avoid going to the doctor's office even if they're sick because they're worried about economic stability.

Sterno

@TimStone The question we're all wondering.

WHAT GAME IS ON THAT PHONE?

How do they stop people from voting multiple times?

Oke america, I'm going to bed. You better not have ~~started world war 3~~ elected trump when I wake up
