That's what I'm talking about!

Thanks, you rock

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Thanks! I just want to point out that some of the links may have changed, especially the YouTube links. So just as a reference, just go to the channel and search for the live feed of the election coverage.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (1 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.

[–] Roopappy@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's not a football game. It's "It could go either way" until it goes one way and stays there. That's when it matters.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

That sounds kind of like a football game...

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 hours ago

I’m watching it all on AP and BBC.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I'm smoking weed, and drinking.. weed.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Nah, that sounds scary.

[–] Tazerface@sh.itjust.works 10 points 13 hours ago

I'll be watching V for Vendetta instead.

[–] HarbingerOfTomb@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

I'm actively trying to avoid it, but even in The Netherlands it's hard to avoid the talk of the town.

[–] Brutticus@lemm.ee 31 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I have vague plans to goon for 16 hours

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Same thing we do every night pinky.

NARF!

[–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 52 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] helloworld55@lemm.ee 7 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] zcd@lemmy.ca 35 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago

yea, I'm on this train.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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.)

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 22 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

From the safety of my bunker.

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

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 7 points 20 hours 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.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

I get my news from Youtube/Lemmy, other than that it will be on every tv station here in Germany.

[–] vagabond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 day ago

I'm gonna watch the Some More News crew livestream and drink a lot

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours 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...

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours 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.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours 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.

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 9 points 23 hours ago

Ill wait till lemmy starts bitching about it.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day 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.

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.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 4 points 9 hours ago

Owned by Axel Springer... No thanks. Reuters has a map too if that's important to you. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elections/

NPR as well. https://apps.npr.org/2024-election-results/

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

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.
