"Walker" is crushing "Divot" by nearly 5000 votes already and the polls have only been open for 20 minutes!

It's the National Park Service, so it's not super sketchy. I've done it before and haven't noticed an increase in spam. It's just a way to make sure people are only voting once per chunky boi

Can anyone submit a picture of themselves for this or does someone else need to do it for me?

This is not run by the NPS. It is run by a for-profit media company whose privacy policy says they will use your email address to send you promotional offers. They also collect and share browser information and analytics w/ 3rd parties to feed targeted advertising.

That said, they don't seem sketchy and have opt-out options. I still voted and don't expect much junk to come from it.

edit: Looking into Explore.org more closely they seem to operate similarly to a non-profit and get most of their funding from grants and their parent non-profit Annenberg Family Foundation. They're still not a US Government sponsored initiative but their policies are very straightforward and geared towards education and pubic interest.

747 is the Vegas favorite based on previous performances, but he’s walking into this beat to fuck and covered in fresh scars.

Lol, are you seriously not aware of temp email sites? What do you use when a subscription or internet service asks you for your email, do you give them your real email? Holy shit

Ok, basic data safety: you should have 3 emails -- personal, work, and a separate gmail for the legitimate services (electric, isp) you use, and give every other website should be given a temporary email. Examples of temporary email providers are guerillamail and cryptomail.

Please google "burner emails". You should be using burner emails as much as possible. I'm astounded you haven't been using these fake emails already, they are an absolute necessity here in 2022.

Why don't politicians run on rotundness platforms? It would engage voters more.

Walker was robbed last year. He should win this year but they stacked the odds against him with that 747 pic

I was scrolling down like ""oh that's pretty big bear," and then I got to 747...0.O. Holyyyyy that dude is a fuckin hoss to begin with and his belly is dragging with the weight of fish meat. He can barely walk.

Well there's a brand new dance based on an old phrase.

It's called the Fat Dog and it will amaze.

You've heard this expression your entire life.

It's not made up, it's not made up!

The website referred to him as one of the largest brown bears on earth.

He's so big that he doesn't need to do anything with most other bears to assert dominance:
"In order to minimize conflict, bears establish a hierarchy where the most dominant bears gain the best access to fishing locations and mating opportunities. Unlike many bears, 747’s size alone is enough to intimidate most bears to yield their space."
