mrcleanup,

Yeah, they agreed with you. Their point is that they agreed with you. Sometimes people just share their thoughts and aren’t trying to start a fight.

Drones trespassing in my property

Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would...

mrcleanup,

It’s all about property rights here. You can always just make more people, right?

mrcleanup,

People have tried to poll me. I ask them to remove my number from their list. I’m not sure exactly sure who they are polling, but it’s mainly people who want to be part of polling, which I assume skews the results.

mrcleanup,

They couldn’t even hand count an election of 127 people correctly. Imagine how big the errors would have been with thousands of votes.

The fact is that this isn’t being counted by full time well-trained accountants, but by temporary and on-call employees at best, and lots of them are retirees, who can afford not to have a full-time gig.

Hand counting requires more blind faith trust than a machine you can easily audit at any time.

It’s not just about the speed, it’s about an inhuman level of consistency and memory that the machine provides.

mrcleanup,

Every state has it’s own laws and every set of equipment is a little different, so each county can be a little different too , but the basics are that you pull a few scan batches, count them by hand, and then compare to what the computer says. If the two ever don’t match, you know you have a problem and you count again to make sure the problem wasn’t the humans recounting. Then you check to make sure they weren’t scanned wrong. If you still have a problem after that, the auditor should be calling the secretary of state as fast as they can and I would guess the goal would be to get a new tabulator in there ASAP to start fresh on a completely different system.

With regard to machines with no paper trail, counties can choose to be as OCD or laid back as the law and their elected official (the auditor) wants them to be; the auditor is theoretically there to represent the interests of the people and make sure the system is trustworthy.

I’m my county the April election was small enough that they ended up recounting every single ballot as part off the audit since it was only about 200 ballots for one taxing district.

You should also be able to observe if you want to, contact your county and ask how to get on the list and you can observe first-hand exactly how they do it.

I’ll also point out before I go, that the audits of the machine show that the system looks to be working right, but when you batch audit a hand count all you can do is verify that one batch because humans are not a consistent process.

I'm scared I won't find a job or/and housing anymore.

I used to perform masculinity more but it was psychologically killing me to a point it was affecting me physically. Even then people would pick up on my speech pattern and body language, notice I am queer and act upon it. At best I’d get mockery, but I had people trying to physically harm me or directly leading to me losing...

mrcleanup,

Apply for every government job you might qualify for. Depending on where you are they often take non discrimination very seriously.

Unsure of the future with my current fiance.

So I’m not sure if I can or should continue my relationship with my fiance or try to fix things. We’ve been together for two years now. When we first started dating they said that they were working on finishing their masters degree but they have not done so. They also said they’d be going back to work after they finished...

mrcleanup,

If you are to the point where you are asking strangers on the Internet if you should stay or go, I think you know your answer.

mrcleanup,

I’m over 40 and I support this message.

mrcleanup,

One way to spot a troll is that they quickly change arguments to avoid accountability. Like how you start by saying that taxation can’t fix the problem and when someone disagrees instead of pulling out data and digging into why, you instead randomly pivot to housing availability, which is currently also a problem related to finances, but distinctly separate from taxation strategies.

I don’t blame this person for not wanting to waste time engaging with you.

mrcleanup,

May I humbly suggest that we make it a taco OR hot dog night? I’d hate to force people into a choice that doesn’t work for them.

mrcleanup,

So… Vice President Obama?

mrcleanup,

Man, I can still hear the rattle of the teacup.

mrcleanup,

I thought this was a fortnite ad at first glance.

mrcleanup,

I think that the reviewer is missing the point that this is still just no man’s sky with a few tweaks and a different set of inputs. I look at this and the bones of no man’s sky are plain to me, the flesh there to see, just… tweaked.

It’s fair to expect that all the lessons learned from no man’s sky will probably be applied here.

I’m in. I’ll risk a broken heart for this.

mrcleanup,

Yeah, but that old technology is what still lets me run a 13 year old version of Adobe creative suite. If that ever changes I will have to learn something new!
