I would hope not! Both the states I have voted in since my 20s have paper ballots, counted by mechanical counters. I think the voter registration rolls that the nice white-haired old ladies use to check and make sure that you are registered are printed out right after the registration deadline passes, and are then…

Preach. They’re voting machines, not teens playing Pokemon Go, put them in airplane mode, damnit!

I’m actually cautiously optimistic about becoming a Russian federal oblast by next January. I mean, OK, it’ll suck when Trump’s Interior Ministry troops tear down the Washington Monument and replace it with a statue of Putin, and obviously being forced marched to labor camps in the Arizona desert will be unpleasant...…

This is ridiculously stupid and completely on our own heads for not having secure, multi-verifiable, & non-privatized voting solutions deployed years ago instead of crap like Diebold and other foxes we have guarding the henhouse at every turn.

Like we need paper ballots.

I had to learn about phishing and hacking for work. One of the videos we watched was about how easily hackers can get your password from you, and a woman interviewed people on the street about their passwords generally:

Well, I guess I won't complain about filling out a paper ballot with a sharpie anymore.

Dilemma? My God, yes, that’s what it demonstrates. He’s exhibiting compulsive behavior. It’s like letting a drug addict take care of a kid. That photo shows total disregard for his son’s privacy and dignity. And given his refusal to get real help and manage his compulsion, there’s no real way to predict what he’ll do…

OMG I would be grossed out if he had sent this dick pic with his child to his wife . Easier to go to the bathroom and take a picture of your boner away from your child .

Just hold it up right there George while I hit it with this flamethrower

I’m not sure if this matters, but was the face digitally obscured when he sent the photo to the woman? I was thinking that was done by whatever newspaper published it.

I mean, call us back when you actually have kids and are forced to make these decisions in real life instead of judging millions of parents from your comfy spot on the sidelines.

Realistically, in a society where a single income is too little to support a family, is there anyone who “can have” kids by your standards?

Here’s a dilemma. One of the sexting photos is purportedly of him with his child. (I haven’t yet brought myself to look at it; I may never do so.) Even if we grant that he is not a pedophile, does this demonstrate poor enough judgment that he should not be the primary caregiver at this point?

I don’t believe in the afterlife, but I want to for him and Gilda. He was such a sweet, funny man.

I was gonna make a snarky comment about how Trumpkins will try to tie this all to Hillary, but fuck it, I don’t have the energy. Gene Wilder is dead and everything sucks.

UPDATE: They have decoded it, and it includes text and an image.

When we analyze the pattern, decode the blueprints, use them to build two wormhole devices because Gary Busey’s idiot son blew up the first one, and travel to their planet to meet one of them who pretends to be our dad?
