I've had it happen to friends and I'm pretty sure it happened to me once but at least in my case I think I was collateral damage. That said, without really knowing the strategies of that sort of thing hitting the wrong target seems like something that would happen fairly often if you don't care about other people which, presumably, you don't.

The solution I've heard is you're able to go to the elections office after mailing your ballot and void the mailed one and vote in person. Depending on the level of control/oversight may be not realistic for everyone, but again, at that point I'm more concerned about the human than the vote and were talking a whole other problem to solve.

I wonder if there's an opening there to claim discrimination on the basis of sex.

Bring back the ccc. Give people purpose and support

It's crazy to me how cheap it is. Like, they could double the taxes and it would still feel incredibly affordable when compared to alcohol.

Good news everyone, article says nose only - just need to commit to full time mouth breathing

There's something to be said here about how normal it is for people to be renting later and later in life. I totally get what you're saying but it's sad that it's true.

Yeah I'm usually more interested in nutrients than calories. Otherwise I'd just have a Guinness for lunch

As an American who spent time living in the UK - 'sandwich' is a generous description of what you get in a £4 meal deal. Some meal deals have things made from actual food but good luck finding one of those at that price.

Yup. Often best to use phrases like 'oh my understanding was x, am I missing something' or 'Wait I don't see how you're accounting for x, what am I missing?' or 'i looked at the source a few times and it seems to be indicating x, not y, am I misunderstanding the impact of z?'. Basically, people are much more willing to admit err when you are. If you start a 'debate' by recognizing you could be wrong you immediately soften the ground for both parties. Plus, everyone walks away feeling like 'we' won since we 'beat the problem' . Also, sometimes you actually are missing something and now when it's explained to you you don't feel like a jerk. Good vibe kinda shit

So one thing I didn't realize right away is that in the ship there is a board where the game auto stores your discoveries detective-style. It really helps provide guidance when you feel like you're out of leads or don't know what to do.

Yeah all of my most down voted reddit comments were the ones where I replied about something I'm an actual expert in. Scary stuff
