Hello! This is an unofficial tumblr mirror of the Everybody Votes Channel run by @iowadream. The Everybody Votes Channel was a channel for the Nintendo Wii that was operated from February 1, 2007 to June 13, 2013. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday (or Monday, Wednesday, and Friday if you lived east of Europe), users would vote in two-option polls through the channel answering banal questions about their food preferences, talents, views of the future, etc.
This blog utilizes the (at the time of writing this) new poll feature on tumblr to replicate the experience of voting on the Everybody Votes Channel by reposting questions polled during the run of the Nintendo Wii. I also aim to recontextualize these polls by placing them on a separate platform a decade - a decade and a half after the fact, as well as raise questions about how cultural views and outlooks have shifted since then. Some of the polls reflect quaint, but relatively dated societal views on topics like technology and physical health. Some of the polls play into now-obsolete marketing campaigns of Nintendo's that begun and ended with the Wii.
I will post two polls a day. Each poll will be posted on its anniversary (for instance, the two polls on July 3rd, 2023 might be polls from July 3rd, 2008 and July 3rd, 2012) until this is not possible to do anymore. Based on the number of available polls, I estimate that this blog will run for a little over 2.5 years. Each poll will be open for 1 week, and at its conclusion, I will post the results from the poll's original run if I find there is an interesting discrepancy, or if someone requests I do so. Each poll has been accessed and reposted from RiiConnect24's archive of english-language Everybody Votes Channel polls.
The polls per day vary from country to country, but each can be generally cleaved into three regions: the Americas, Europe/Oceania, and Japan. The Americas region includes Canada, the US, and most of Central and South America. The Europe/Oceania region includes most of western Europe, mainland Scandinavia, Greece, Australia, and New Zealand. Each of these regions by and large have the same polls across each country, with some exceptions that will be noted (for instance, on February 27, 2007, a poll about American Idol was polled in the US, while a poll about life on mars was polled elsewhere). There is also a fourth category of poll, Worldwide, which was polled on the 1st and 16th of every month, and featured answers from all regions. Polls from the Americas will be denoted with the 🌎 emoji. Polls from Europe/Oceania will be denoted with the 🌍🌏 emojis and will utilize the Australian date for better daily posting diversity. Worldwide polls will be denoted with the 🌐 emoji. I currently do not plan on reposting the Japanese polls, but I will start if enough interest is expressed in them.
And that's it! Have fun voting!

2012 Lover Diaries Transcripts
Feb 2012
Holy Ground Lyrics
Mar 2, 2012- Perth, Australia
So here we are in Perth. It’s a beach town on the Indian Ocean and it’s beautiful. It’s 85º and sunny and yesterday I went to Cottesloe Beach – I’ve never seen water that crystal blue before. And white sand. There was this art festival going on, so there were all these sculptures set up on the beach. We laid our towels out and got tans and frolicked in the water. After our beach afternoon, we went to this restaurant right on the beach called Indiana. It was built in 1910 and looked like an old fancy hotel. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve been, with old world arches and moldings, antique tables and big french doors opening out to views of azure blue ocean. We sat there for hours drinking strawberry mojitos and eating calamari until I was so tired, I went back to my fluffy hotel bed and slept.
I’ve been thinking a lot about getting older and relevancy and how all my heroes have ended up alone. I wrote a song on the plane ride from Sydney to Perth on the appalachian dulcimer I bought the day of my flight. I bought it because Joni played on most of her blue record. I taught myself to play ‘A Case of You.’ Anyway, I wrote a song on it called “Nothin New” and it’s about being scared of aging and things changing and losing what you have. It says “I’m getting older and less sure of what you like about me anyway.” And in the chorus it says “How can a person know everything at 18, and nothing at 22? And will you still want me … when I’m nothing new.” It’s a really vulnerable song, but I think it’s important to say.
Jun 10, 2012- Los Angeles, CA
I’ve been in the studio non stop. This week I was in with Max Martin and Johan Shellback, the guys I wrote ‘Getting Back Together’ with. The first day, I had to do this corporate performance for an arena full of managers. I played Love Story and Mean, solo acoustic and Justin Timberlake was MCing so he introduced me. Hilarious sense of humor. He was making the whole arena laugh.
When I finished there, I got on the plane and this idea came to me “I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22.” I wrote the entire chorus on the plane ride to LA. When I landed, I went straight to the studio and played it for Max and Johan. They loved it.
I was so excited. I wrote 22 about how much fun I’ve been having this summer and this year in general. It’s so carefree and sounds like a summer anthem. I was floating on a cloud after we wrote it. The next day I brought them a chorus called 'Trouble’ that’s about how I should’ve known what I was getting into.
We came back to 'Trouble’ and it turned out to be absolutely amazing. It’s so edgy and unexpected. It’s almost dub step. My friends love that one the most.
I love writing so much. It’s the only thing that makes total sense to me. If I missed a day in the studio, I’d be so mad at myself. God I’ve been having such a beautiful life lately. I can’t believe it. It’s like there’s magic in the air.
Friday was my day off. I woke up and went hiking. Then went home and showered. painted my nails, daydreamed about our trip for 4th of July.
Taylor

On This Day in F1: April 5
Present: Japan Day 1
History: 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix
I'm going to be honest, the time zone differences from Australia to China are screwing with my perception of when things are happening (and my sleep schedule). Especially since FP1 happened on Thursday night (before midnight) for me and FP3 will be on Friday night. So I've been all over the place since the Australian GP.
But in Japan on April 5th, 2024, FP1 and FP2 occurred. There wasn't much to talk about in FP1 except for Logan Sargeant crashing toward the latter half of the session and Will Buxton revealing that there were other teams that only had two chassis for the weekend. Alpine has confirmed that they are one of those teams.
(Sidenote: the plural of chassis is chassis but it's pronounced with a "z" at the end. So the singular is pronounced like "CHASS-ee" and the plural is pronounced like "CHASS-eez." The more you know, I guess.)
FP2 had even less to talk about. It was raining and more than half of the drivers didn't set a lap time. Briefly, Yuki Tsunoda was at the top of the timing charts with Daniel Ricciardo in second. But then Oscar Piastri set a faster lap with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc finishing out the top 3.
2024 marks 10 years since Jules Bianchi crashed during the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix and lost his life due to the injuries from his crash. In honor of Jules, Charles - Jules' godson - has a special helmet in Jules' colors and with his number 17 on it.
We tend to talk about Jules in relation to his crash, Charles, Daniel, or any other drivers he was friends with. While they are a piece of his story and he is a piece of their stories, we should also remember Jules for himself - for the things he did and loved. He scored his first points in Monaco and that was the first GP he'd attended as a child, he liked dark chocolate, the first meal he cooked wasn't good, his hero was Michael Schumacher because he was winning, etc.
Looking back to another rain-filled day, the 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix took place on April 5th.
Malaysia was the second race of the historic 2009 season - which does go to show how early we start the season now in comparison to the previous seasons.
It should have been 56 laps of racing, but due to torrential rain, drivers were only able to complete 31 classified laps. This did not meet the 75% minimum distance completed for full points to be awarded. Therefore, half points were awarded to drivers. The race had been stopped on lap 33 and was not later resumed due to the darkness. Lap 31 was the penultimate full lap and was the one used to determine classifications per sporting regulations.
Half points are very rarely awarded. Malaysia 2009 was the fifth time in F1 history that it had happened (the 4th time had been the 1991 Australian GP). And it didn't happen again until the 2021 Belgian GP.
Jenson Button, driving for Brawn GP, was declared the winner of the Grand Prix as he started the race on pole position and was the race leader for lap 31.
Nick Heidfeld driving for BMW Sauber finished second and Timo Glock driving for Toyota finished third. Heidfeld was the first driver with a KERS-equipped car to take a podium position.
Since Jenson had won the 2009 Australian Grand Prix as well, Brawn GP became the first team since Alfa Romeo in 1950 to win the first two World Championship Grands Prix of the season.

Fiji’s Social Democratic Liberal party (Sodelpa) said on Friday that it would form a coalition with two other parties, a move that will dislodge the current prime minister, Frank Bainimarama, signalling an end to the former military leader’s 16 years in power.
“We believe we have agreed on a way forward that benefits this country,” party leader Viliame Gavoka said in a news conference after an internal party vote.
Fiji, which has a history of military coups, was dominated by sometimes tense race relations between its indigenous majority and a big ethnic Indian group, before constitutional reform in 2013 [by Bainimarama] to remove a race-based voting system that favoured indigenous Fijians.
Bainimarama, who has yet to concede defeat, said on Thursday the military had been called in to assist police maintain law and order because of attacks on the Indian ethnic minority in the wake of a national election last week that showed no party received a clear majority.[...]
Fiji has been pivotal to the strategically located region’s response to increasing competition for influence between China and the United States, and struck an agreement with Australia in October to work more closely with its military.

Retiring senator Janet Rice wants to marry her partner Anne
New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/retiring-senator-janet-rice-wants-to-marry-her-partner-anne/
Retiring senator Janet Rice wants to marry her partner Anne
Greens Senator Janet Rice has retired from politics, and after years of fighting for marriage equality has said she now hopes to marry her partner Anne.
Senator Rice, who is from Victoria and was first elected in 2013, announced her retirement plans last year.
Today (April 19), Janet formally stepped down and left the Senate for the final time.
“It’s been a huge ten years and it’s been a privilege to work alongside my colleagues, grassroots activists, and the community,” she said on Friday.
“[We’ve] achieved some huge wins, from marriage equality, to ending native forest logging in Victoria and Western Australia, and negotiating for better legislation on climate and housing.
“I’m sad to end this chapter, but also excited for what’s to come.
“I’m planning on having some time off, but not too much. I’ll keep working with people here and worldwide for justice and human rights, a safe climate and protecting our environment.
Janet Rice said her Greens successor, Steph Hodgins May, will be formally sworn in next month.
‘Marriage equality means I can get married’
Janet Rice delivered her valedictory Senate speech a few weeks ago.
She declared her work on the marriage equality campaign and the all-important legislation as one of her crowning achievements.
The bisexual senator hinted that after years of campaigning, a same-sex marriage was on the horizon for her.
“For me now, marriage equality means that my partner Anne and I, who have been together for the past two years, can get married,” she said.
“And newsflash, we probably will. Love you, Anne.”
Anne was watching on from the public gallery as the chamber applauded.
Senator Rice also thanked her late wife Penny Whetton, who was transgender. Penny died in 2019.
“Marriage equality meant I could stay married to my late wife Penny and she could change her birth certificate to say ‘female’ without us having to get divorced,” Janet said.
“Penny was such a star during the campaign for marriage equality.
“As a trans woman, she put herself out of her comfort zone to speak up, to say love was love and that all we wanted was to stay married.
“Being married to a trans woman inspired me to be such a fierce defender of trans and gender-diverse people during the campaign and beyond.
“I feel so grateful for Penny’s love and support and our lives together until her sad, sudden passing four years ago.”
‘If you don’t fight, you lose’
Janet Rice said her advocacy for LGBTQIA+ equality will continue post-politics, as the government negotiates religious discrimination legislation.
“I will continue fighting outside parliament against any bill that acts only as a Trojan horse for hate,” she said.
“There’s still discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people baked into our laws and our society.”
She concluded, “My final words: stay hopeful that things can change and keep working determinedly towards that change.
“Just because we haven’t reached where we need to be yet doesn’t mean we can’t and we won’t.
“We have to keep at it because one thing is certain: if you don’t fight, you lose. So onwards and upwards.”

covid and mental health
By Rachel Shannon
Everyone can relate to the fact that covid was a stressful period in our human existence. Some people struggled more than others but no hardship should be weighed or compared to one another's. It was both a tribulation and a learning experience. Before covid, we lived in a very rushed Society. The work day was 9-5 Monday through Friday, we never thought to challenge it. Now post covid, some people don't work on Mondays or have half a day on Fridays, or some people work completely remote which never used to be an option. We now take more time for our emotional health and embrace therapy which for decades previously was considered taboo. To get to this point, Society had to face some tough adversities which include mental health decline in Victoria Australia, harsh discriminatory challenges for Asian Americans, and radical transitions for college students. These three scenarios are just a few examples of some of the many ways in which covid impacted our mental health. These situations brought awareness to the way we view and treat mental health.
Since covid, intentional self-harm rates skyrocketed in Victoria Australia due to lack of employment opportunities and social isolation. While young people are less susceptible to covid, the pandemic did disproportionately affect their psychosocial development, as social connectedness and social identity are important factors in youth. Suicide attempt hospitalization rates ranged from 77.4 to 97.9 events per 100,000 population between 2012-2013 and 2019-2020. Rates were higher outside of urban areas. It is estimated that the self-harm hospitalization rates in Greater Melbourne was 75.9 per 100,000 population compared to 112.0 per 100,000 population in the rest of Victoria. The Victorian mental health system was extensively evaluated by the Royal Commission on the advice of the Victorian government. The Royal Commission found that the state's mental health system was unable to respond to the needs of the people suffering from mental illness or psychological distress, unsuitable to meet current and future demands, and an urgent need for reform.
“Pre-existing individual factors, such as poorer physical health, a history of chronic illness, or pre-existing mental health problems, have been associated with higher rates of anxiety and depression during COVID-19. Other individual factors may be important too, for example introverted individuals are somewhat less likely to have high quality social support systems compared to extraverts. Consistent evidence shows that adults experiencing pre-existing socio-economic disadvantages face increased mental health problems related to COVID-19.” (Westrupp,”et al.”2023)
While Westrupp explains that pre-existing conditions occurred in parents and children in Victoria before covid, these conditions were made worse from government restrictions and shutdowns.
Since covid, the Asian-American population have faced intense racial discrimination which include verbal harassment and physical assault. This is mainly due to media outlets blaming China for the pandemic. A recent Pew Research Center report found that approximately 31% of Asian American adults reported being the subject of slurs or jokes because of their race or ethnicity, and about 58% of Asian American adults shared that it is more common for people to express racist or racially insensitive views about Asians than it was before the covid-19 outbreak. The increase in racial discrimination against Asian Americans during the covid-19 pandemic has also contributed to covid-19 discrimination fear, which exacerbated mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.
“Anti-Asian racism has always been present in the US society for over 150 years, though it has been encoded in different vocabulary and language in different periods of time.”(Adachi,2022).
Adachi explains that the “Yellow Peril” which is described as western fears of Asians, especially Chinese, would invade their land and disrupt western values, started as far back as the 1870s. Although these fears already existed, there has been an uptick in racial discriminatory acts since covid due to media outlets and politicians.
Covid took a strain particularly on college students. College is already a stressful time for young adults then covid added the pressure of social distancing, working remotely and in extreme cases leaving their dorm and finding residence elsewhere. Many may argue that stress among college students is unrelated to covid and that it’s been an ongoing issue for some time. McLafferty writes that a survey was conducted of students who attended college in Northern Ireland in the fall of 2019, then again a year later found that high levels of mental health problems were already present among students commencing college. Although college students were already struggling before the pandemic, it’s important to understand that covid exacerbated pre-existing mental health conditions.
“Students assessed post pandemic reported significantly more symptoms of anxiety and depression than students assessed pre pandemic, and these two cohorts are reporting more symptoms in many areas than a cohort of students assessed 25 years earlier.”(Nails,2023).
In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic made the Victorian government aware of the urgent need for better mental health care for their people, brought to light the racial injustice of Asian-Americans, and showed the massive strain covid had on college students. These three situations highlight the severity in which covid affected our mental health. After the pandemic, it was realized that mental health care was at the bottom of the list of priorities. This awareness led to changes such as flexible working conditions and more need for therapy. Therapy also became more available remotely. Not only should we spread awareness on the issue of mental health but we should also take combative steps to help such as make therapy more affordable and hire more mental health providers. Unfortunately it took this catastrophic event to make us open our eyes. With this better awareness and understanding, we as a society can tackle mental health issues head on.

Why is June celebrated as Pride month: All you need to now about
June is recognized as Pride Month, paying homage to the individuals who participated in the gay liberation protests known as the Stonewall Riots back in 1969. Pride Day is commemorated on the 28th of June annually.
History of Pride month
In 1969, the Stonewall Inn gay bar in Manhattan's Greenwich Village was raided by police, resulting in riots and sparking a lengthy fight for the inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals in American society as well as ensuring their rights. The pride month's origins can be traced back to this event.
The modern American gay rights movement was initiated by the happenings during the end of June and start of July in 1969 in New York. A series of confrontations between Stonewall Inn customers and police officers, who frequently conducted raids on the bar and detained homosexuals under the morality legislation of that time, led to a week of brutal conflicts on Christopher Street which became known as the Stonewall riots.
In 2015, the US Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriages throughout all 50 states of America. In India, recognition as a "third gender" was granted to transgender individuals in 2014 and in 2017, the right to privacy was acknowledged as protecting one's sexual orientation by the Supreme Court. The decriminalization of homosexuality was achieved by the landmark ruling in 2018 which invalidated a colonial-era law. In 2022, the highest court upheld that same-sex couples or unmarried partners are eligible to receive welfare benefits.
Legal same-sex marriages are permitted in the following countries: New Zealand (2013), Uruguay (2013), Denmark (2012), Argentina (2010), Portugal (2010), Iceland (2010), Sweden (2009), Norway (2008), South Africa (2006), Spain (2005), Canada (2005), Belgium (2003), and The Netherlands (2000) Costa Rica (2020), Northern Ireland (2019), Ecuador (2019), Taiwan (2019), Austria (2019), Australia (2017), Malta (2017), Germany (2017), Colombia (2016), United States (2015), Greenland (2015), Ireland (2015), Finland (2015), Luxembourg (2014), Scotland (2014), England and Wales (2013), Brazil (2013), France (2013).
Besides the US, nations such as India, UK, Canada, Brazil, Austria, Ireland, and New Zealand also observe the month of June as pride month.

One of Australia’s biggest music stars has revealed the reason he felt “lucky” as the pandemic forced the country’s entertainment industry to almost shut down entirely.
Matt Corby will release his first new album in five years on Friday, with a sneak preview track to be released on Wednesday.
Speaking to NCA NewsWire, the Byron-based singer said the Covid-19 lockdowns came just as he had finished a whirlwind tour, and he spent the time plucking away on personal projects while he was unable to work as usual.
“For me, I was at the end of the cycle – I was quite lucky because I’d come off a lot of touring,” he said.
“I was probably one of the lucky ones – I needed a break – so for me, it was good.
“It gave me a chance to build (the studio). It used to be the garage of the house, and that was a great project to undertake during that period.”
Corby, who founded RVR – Rainbow Valley Records – said he spent a lot of his lengthy hiatus producing lots of new music for other artists.
“Last year I made maybe five records, covers, EPs and a few singles for people while I was hard at work as a producer,” he said.
However, not everyone enjoyed the down time as much, with Corby explaining his friends in the industry were hit hard by the turbulence.
“The only thing that was hard was seeing a lot of my friends in the industry quite down, not being able to make money,” he said.
“Most of my friends exist in roles in the music industry – they’re audio engineers, they’re stage techs, they run festivals. Most of them have taken up a second trade, definitely not having a good time. I was on the phone a lot to everyone.”
The former Australian Idol runner-up’s comments come as new research reveals just how hard the pandemic rocked the entertainment industry across Australia, with the majority of performers still trying to adjust to post-Covid performing.
Research conducted by Wild Turkey found 85 per cent of aspiring musicians around the country are struggling to recover from the disruption of the past few years, with 9 in 10 agreeing it is now harder to catch a break in the industry.
The survey also found 17 per cent of artists are struggling to find support to build their careers, with Corby now teaming up with Wild Turkey to help one artist achieve their dream.
Up-and-comers have been encouraged to apply for Music 101, a bespoke mentoring program that will provide one artist with a recording studio on wheels, and private mentorship from the Brother hitmaker.
“It means a lot to me actually,” Corby said.
“It’s the sort of a role I’m already taking on somewhat through the little label that I run and through the production work that I do.”
The program will allow the chosen artist to travel around on a national tour with Corby, as well as other well-known artists.
“I love the idea of the mentorship program,” Corby said. “I love the idea of kicking around Australia and providing another platform for aspiring musicians to get a go.”
Alongside Wild Turkey, Corby has crafted a “first of it’s kind” mobile music home equipped with a recording studio, bar and live stage.
Fans who attend the national tour can sip on Wild Turkey bourbon from the bar while artists play from the stage or record a demo in the back.
Anyone who would like to apply for the mentoring spot can do so here.
Corby, who was runner up on Australian Idol in 2007, won the hearts of millions with his top hits “Brother” and “Resolution” in 2011 and 2013 respectively.
His new album “Everything’s Fine” is out on Friday, but Corby said there’s no real theme to his newest release.
“It’s just an interesting collection of songs,” he said.
“I think there’s no real strong theme through the whole thing. Every time I stumbled across a vibe in the studio that felt good, we just put it down and it’s kind of nice just to make a record like that.
“I think each song does just stand alone as its own little piece, and it was very tricky putting it in sequential order.
“Apparently there’s over a million combinations.”
One song in particular, set to be released a day before the full album drops, is “very emotional” for Corby, even making him shed a tear.
“It‘s a bit of a slow jam, very emotional,” he said.
“We shot a very good live clip, which even made me shed a tear, which is rare for me. I’m not a big crier. I watched it back and I was like, ‘This is amazing.’”
