  • I agree that almost everyone affected would WANT to vote again; most of the work of voting is deciding who to vote for, and they've already done that.

    Another problem though is that not everyone affected will know that anything happened to their ballot.

  • (from the point of the vote counters) They know because there are individualized bar codes on every envelope. They will just count every ballot that arrives intact. If they scan one and it's from a voter who has already been counted, they'll have to figure out if that's voting fraud or a legitimate consequence of an act of arson/other problem--and it's almost never voting fraud.

    (from the point of view of the voter) assume your ballot was destroyed, get another one, vote again.

  • Growing up with ADHD starter pack

    Jump

  • I've always been clumsy. It was bad enough that a couple of years ago I asked my doctor if I needed a neurology consult. Nobody at any point has said ADHD to me. (Or autism, I've probably also got that going on.) God healthcare sucks

  • wait fuck is THAT what it is? i've always been sorta on the fence about whether i'm adhd, but this symptom is one i have times one million.

  • Is it? If ChatGPT wrote your paper, why would citations of the work of Frankie Hawkes raise any red flags unless you happened to see this specific tweet? You'd just see ChatGPT filled in some research by someone you hadn't heard of. Whatever, turn it in. Proofreading anything you turn in is obviously a good idea, but it's not going to reveal that you fell into a trap here.

    If you went so far as to learn who Frankie Hawkes is supposed to be, you'd probably find out he's irrelevant to this course of study and doesn't have any citeable works on the subject. But then, if you were doing that work, you aren't using ChatGPT in the first place. And that goes well beyond "proofreading".

  • Washington Post reports that owner Jeff Bezos stopped it from endorsing Kamala Harris

    Jump

  • Well I'm certainly surprised that the WaPo itself produced a story about it. Someone over there has some cajones.

  • The Washington Post opinion editor approved a Harris endorsement. A week later, Jeff Bezos killed it.

    Jump

  • "Democracy dies in darkness" was aspirational.

    Anyway, good job dipshit, now you've made a much bigger story about the fact that the WaPo endorses Harris and Bezos doesn't.

  • It feels like a social experiment now

  • The missing words are "shitty" and "fucking", btw. I feel like we're getting crap posts like this from bots that aren't willing to tailor their posts for places where naughty words are allowed. Or reposts of bots' output. Either way, I'm tired of it.

  • Eat lead

  • This is exactly what it is. When everything you believe is made up, it's easy to accidentally make up the wrong number and then believe that instead.

  • McConnell says ‘MAGA movement is completely wrong’ and Reagan ‘wouldn’t recognize’ Trump’s GOP

    Jump

  • Oh look, the fucking devil has something to say. Tell us, Mitch, was this a realization that suddenly came upon you or was it absolutely crystal clear to you already when you were confirming his fucking nominees for the SC? When you refused to vote for his impeachment conviction, twice? I'd put you up on the wall right next to him.

  • Peter Todd in hiding after being “unmasked” as bitcoin creator

    Jump

  • Maybe, I don't know enough about him, but I will say this: Nobody fits my definition of "people who work hard" better than Euler.

  • When someone says "He's an unbelievable genius," I now understand that the person speaking is either a con artist or a gullible idiot. Unbelievable geniuses don't exist, there's just specialists, people who get lucky, people who work hard. So if you're saying someone is such a genius, either you have no metric by which to measure genius, or you're selling something.

    “I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”

    Cullen is absolutely selling something: he's selling his documentary.

    The various denials and deflections from Todd, [Cullen] claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection.

    Smells 100% like bullshit. I had no take on this documentary one way or the other before, but now I'm very skeptical.

  • I thought everyone did this, I don't think anyone in that classroom was actually learning anything about the contents of the text, all anyone could think about is "don't fuck up saying words out loud"

  • Does giving up on yourself require giving up on everyone else?

  • I have a very cynical reason. If you look at what most religions say about it (against), you have to wonder why they all agree on it and it seems to me that if you off yourself, you're not supporting the team. When there weren't many humans, you really needed a bunch of team players on your religion making more babies, and the dead ones can't carry out your crusades.

    Now we put capital above religion, but it's the same thing: we need workers for our factories. We need babies to become workers for our factories. Dead people can't make cars or babies.
