Here's the full text of the prop.
Slavery and involuntary servitude are prohibited.
(b) The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall not discipline any incarcerated person for refusing a work assignment.
(c) Nothing in this section shall prohibit the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from awarding credits to an incarcerated person who voluntarily accepts a work assignment.
(d) Amendments made to this section by the measure adding this subdivision shall become operative on January 1, 2025.[6]
Concretely, which section here do you find objectionable?

If that one passes, I am reliably informed that most of the prison jobs will go away due to lack of funding, leaving prisoners without any options to make money.
Why? If the prisoners wish to work, they'll keep working. If the prisoners largely don't wish to work, I don't think it makes sense to make them work so that a small minority can fulfill their preferences.

Hlynka had some Slavic (Ukrainian?) blood in him, so much as I'd like it to be otherwise, I'm afraid it's unlikely.

It's a little strange to think that he wouldn't have been in contact with people close to Trump who would know that he's not dead. Of course, it would still make sense for him to be cautious about a second strike, so to speak.

I have never watched CNN but this appears to be false.
There's a pic of biden's inauguration speech with the counter on it, and on later days as well.
Maybe they showed it less frequently, I'm not in a position to judge.

So going door to door and executing civilians is actually "attacking military outposts"? Or was that also the IDF?

How does monarch authenticate with banks? Did you need to fork over your bank password?

They don't (as far as I know) "stop" others from getting that info, but they try to take it down from various places that are obligated for one reason or another to honor takedown requests. I have never used such a service.

The last time I was faced with a plaid page, they wanted me to enter my password in a plaid page, rather than my bank's page. Perhaps this has changed, but there's simply no way that I'd trust plaid not to retain my password in some regarded way.

That was the primary, not the general, and you'll notice that there are two Republicans splitting the vote.
Thanks for the correction. Clark county was still blue in the 2022 general.
I expect a win by less than two points, but mayhaps I'll eat crow on that expectation.
Perhaps, but that doesn't prove that this was supposed to hurt Kent. I don't have sub-county numbers but I don't see why someone would target this mailbox to hurt the Republican candidate.
I thought we were talking about the one in Clark County, and was unaware of the Portland one.
The OP was about the Portland one.
They're intending to hurt the Republican candidate by setting fire to ballots in urban Portland? Do you think those ballots leaned R or leaned D?
Edit: there are two burnt mailboxes. One in the 1000 block of Southeast Morrison Street, Portland. This is not even in Washington so obviously it has nothing to do with Joe Kent. The other one was in the Fisher's Landing transit center in Vancouver. That is actually in WA-03 but Clark county, which contains Vancouver, has Kent lagging behind majorly, so I really don't see the connection at all.

Plaid requires you to give them your bank password, right? You'll never catch me doing that.

It's not so much that they're "adjusted" as it is that the lights are higher up to begin with. Thus, unless they're angled much further down than they would be on a normal car (which is impossible if you want to illuminate the same distance simply due to how high off the ground they are), they're going to project a brighter light into any car lower than those headlights.
This is still not adding up.
If the light is higher off the ground and you want it to illuminate as far down the road as a light lower to the ground, it must be angled lower. If you raise the light and keep the angle constant, you will illuminate further down the road.
If the light is adjusted to keep the distance illuminated constant, I suspect that it would only be shining into vehicles at very short distances, and since you are not usually approaching vehicles head on and the lights have limited side spread, this shouldn't even be an issue. There's something else going on here.
So you have a grand total of... six to choose from

Yes, that's true. I'm assuming that he doesn't live out in the sticks, but perhaps I'm wrong.

now (where you can't buy a non-lifted hatchback).
Sure you can, it's called a Prius. Or a civic hatchback.
If you're sitting higher up relative to the road, your headlights will be adjusted up (relative to a lower vehicle) so that you can see further out. Thus, if you're in an CUV, your lights are going to be aimed from the factory such that you'll blind anyone in lower vehicles.
This i don't find totally convincing. Why do they need to be adjusted so you can see further out? Obviously you can always aim the headlights higher to see further (and that's what high beams do, partially), but that can't be legal.
At this point I'm a lot more aggressive about not turning my brights off when I see an oncoming car (unless I see the telltale flicker of them turning theirs off, naturally), because if they don't turn them off I'm blind when they pass.
Why are you driving with your brights on?

The thing that drives me up the wall these days is headlights that shine directly into opposing traffic. I don't know what the fuck is going on recently but probably about every tenth car is blinding me at night.

The viable plan to ending birthright citizenship is to reexamine the legal definition of natural born citizen in light of earlier British jurisprudence which
There's no need to have motivated semantic arguments about what is a "natural birth" and what isn't (what about those born via Cesarean section??) because it's totally irrelevant to the constitutional language. The fourteenth amendment is extremely clear and unambiguous:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

There's a place where kids undergo strenuous training from a young age. It's South Korea, and it's universally considered a terrible place to grow up, most of all by South Koreans themselves. Thanks but no thanks, let's let kids actually have a childhood.
Here's what the legislative analyst wrote about the prop.
Do you disagree that this is a concrete example of being disciplined for refusing a work assignment?
