@sephirothrule34 They're pretty consistent, actually.
If the female character is sexualized, men like her.
If the female character is just a woman being a person, men hate her.
If you go back and look at their positions on every female character, it follows this rule.
@kotogenjutsu@sephirothrule34 "This professional glamour shot of the actress when she was young looks nothing like the 3D render of this older mom character who just died and then got in a bunch of fights."
1) California allows mail-in ballots to be postmarked on election day.
2) Those can take a few days to roll in.
3) Then they run them through signature scanners, which flag ~10% for manual review.
4) Manual review flags about half of those as non-matching.
5) A signature sheet is mailed to everyone with a bad signature.
6) People have 10 days to mail the signature sheet back.
7) The mail actually needs to get them back.
8) Manual reviewers check the signature sheets against the signatures on record.
9) If the new signatures match the record, the ballot gets opened and counted.
Each of these steps works as California designed it. And that's just for the signatures. There are additional scans that check for duplicate votes etc... so it doesn't matter if your friend received 100 ballots -only one will be counted.
If you are concerned with the validity of California's voter rolls, then encourage them to become an ERIC member state: https://t.co/vtmU0ZAJjU
@realcopeaganda@SLAG_FA When the law is against you, pound the facts. When the facts are against you, pound the law.
When both are against you, you are a right winger and all you have left is pounding the table.
@KevinWyoming2@GovPressOffice Ultimately around 1% of mail in ballots are discarded for not having matching signatures.
The signatures are on the outside of the envelope, so it's not possible to reject a ballot for its "signature" based on the vote content.
@KevinWyoming2@GovPressOffice Incorrect. Observers are not allowed to challenge signatures **that have already been verified as legitimate**.
The elections office uses software that flags ~10% of signatures for manual review. Reviewers with special training send back bad signatures to be "cured".
@muheediva01 Black people and Asian immigrants historically lived near each other. Asian people suffer a lot of harassment and crime from Black people as a result.
My father and brother have both been mugged by Black people, in separate incidents. Very common.
@mitchellvii What's the benefit of optimizing for speed vs reach/accuracy? What is California losing out on by ensuring as many eligible votes are counted as possible? Still haven't had this explained.
@newstouse What is the benefit of optimizing an election for speed rather than reach and accuracy? Like, what is being lost currently that would be fixed by your proposal?
@RockChartrand I just lost a director of product (who was always rated "exemplary") because an EVP needed to free up budget for more Claude tokens.
The EVP didn't even look at his current portfolio, let alone past performance.
This was at a Fortune 5 company.
@StephB30ftsmurf@GovPressOffice What's the actual benefit of counting votes faster, rather than counting votes accurately? Like what is actually being lost by not having results in on election night? Still haven't heard anybody explain this.
@ThresherKing@TiredBambooLaw It's very MAGA to optimize for speed rather than accuracy, especially when there is no actual benefit to the increased speed.
@tobiaschneider >What else do they do all day?!
Labs and large projects, mostly.
US and Euros spend about the same number of hours on college work each semester. US is just less lecture and more hands-on.
Depends on major, of course.
