Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Thank you for this. I'm signing off for today, I'm sure I'll find the results out eventually

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm just going to watch memes and shitposts here on Lemmy

The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.

I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.

My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Here's hoping you're still a human being tomorrow night. Cheers.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

From the burnt end of a blunt and the bottom of a bottle lol

[–] Tazerface 11 points 1 month ago

I'll be watching V for Vendetta instead.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tbh, I got a lot of work to do. I will probably just check the news that night or wait for someone to tell me.

[–] Mouselemming 5 points 1 month ago

Do your work, there's going to be a lot of back-and-forth and probably at least one legal challenge to work through before we have a final result so you won't be missing anything

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Swede here, if I want to know directly when I wake up tomorrow, I'll check our national broadcaster's website, if not I'll probably end up learning it here on lemmy, possibly through politicalmemes or something

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Gonna do the same. Wake up, hit snooze, check SVT and Dagens Nyheter, and then onwards to /c/political memes. Possibly an excursion to BBC and CBC.

Ill wait till lemmy starts bitching about it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The restaurant I work for is hosting the mayor and a city counselor to watch the elections live with another 100 guests, so I'll be watching from the kitchen...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh my. I hope that ends up being an interesting night rather than a tragic one. Then again, if y'all serving alcohol... might be very lucrative.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I get off early, so I'm going to buy a fresh pack of cigarettes and fraternize with the politicians while I wait to see exactly how the world will end.

The county assessors site for everything state and local. I will briefly check national, but I dont need the pageantry of network television to rile me up anymore than I already am.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm not. I've checked the results a couple times online, but I see no sense in watching coverage. We'll know the outcome when it's over and not a moment before.

After asking a similar question on this channel a few days ago, I think we're going to watch the coverage on NBC, unless I find something better on YouTube.

Cue all the comments about the final results not being available tomorrow night...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

No, I think I'm with you with NBC. Knowing full well it's a cliffhanger ending, I'm not sure I'll be able to look away anyway.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Either at a partisan gathering or curled up under my bed in the fetal position while my dogs lick my tears, depending on how things look tomorrow evening

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I think I'll hide in bed until it's over.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There's a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it'll be packed.

Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.

Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.

I'm probably going to avoid it tomorrow. Hoping to catch the result Weds maybe.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately for my sanity over here in UTC+9, I can't just sleep through the whole thing. I'm hopeful that work will be busy enough tomorrow that I won't have time to think about it. What I also know is that it's most likely going to get drawn out longer, so I won't likely be specifically watching anywhere, but just picking up occasional US news somewhat accidentally along the way (either here or via fark). I voted as soon as I could print my overseas ballot and get it in the mail so I've done all I can do.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I’m watching it all on AP and BBC.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

CBC/BBC/Al Jazeera, checking the Economist for my minute by minute bellweather county level fun.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'll know the result once i wake up from sleep.

-lemming from the other side of the earth

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'd be surprised if it was decided by then.

I'll be making sure my thermal scope has fresh batteries and my fastest car has gas to GTFO of my state if need be. Thankfully I live in a city that rednecks think is some kind of blue Baghdad so I'm likely fairly safe.
