THIS RIGHT HERE
You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.
I want to drill this into everybody’s head:
- The United States of America has the highest prison population in the world
- Black Americans and Latin people make up the majority of this population (many of whom are non-violent offenders)
- Federal Prisons in America require that their state keeps their prisons at a maximum occupancy at all times.
- The 13th amendment did not entirely abolish slavery…just one form of it. It remains legal through industrial prison system
Did you know that prisoners are counted as permanent residents by the US census in the counties where they are incarcerated? And those census numbers are used to determine delegates for elections? And that prisons are usually in rural (generally more conservative) counties, giving those rural counties disproportionate electoral power?
Just some fun facts about our electoral system!

Gif stands for Graphics Interchange Format. when graphics is pronounced “JAFFICKS” Then I will pronounce Gif with a “J”
^ This
It’s followed by an R of course it would be a hard g. But Giraffe is a soft g. Genius is a soft g. Gin is pronounced with a soft g too. GIF is I following a g, it would be pronounced with a soft g.
It aint Jif peanut butter though.
It would still be pronounced like that. The general rule is if the g is followed by an e or i, it’s soft g. U or a consonant is generally a hard g.
I will DIE WITH MY HONOR
Gear =/= Jear
Get =/= Jet
Gift =/= Jift
Give =/= Jive
In English, words with a ‘G’ followed by an ‘e’ or an ‘i’ can be pronounced with either a hard ‘G’ or a soft ‘G’.
Words with Germanic roots such as ‘gear’, ‘get’, ‘gift’, ‘give’ (see above) are pronounced with a hard ‘g’ while words with Latin or Greek roots such as ‘gem’, ‘general’, ‘giraffe’, ‘giant’, are pronounced with a soft ‘g’.
So no, it’s not exactly a “general rule” that ‘g’ followed by an ‘e’ or an ‘i’ makes a soft ‘g’ sound.
Additionally, “GIF” is an ACRONYM starting with a word that begins with a hard ‘g’ sound, so “GIF” is therefore pronounced with a hard ‘g’.

Thor agrees.

This is a perfect compromise, it makes everyone unhappy.
You know, I can’t argue with that.

They can flip off this country all they want considering the fact it was theirs first.
Isn’t Mt. Rushmore sacred to native peoples? Kinda fucked up we put their killers faces on it
Yes. Before the sculptures were built, the land was sacredly owned by indigenous tribes. In 1980, the land was illegally taken away from them by the supreme court. Not to mention, one of the main people who manufactured the sculptures was literally apart of the KKK… So yeah.. they are more than welcome to flip off these so called “masterpieces”
Anyone know if this is true of false?
I literally…….provided sources…………..
