I somehow misread the title as “The Spider That Isn’t There” and was prepared to read an SCP article about a spider that doesn’t exist but still bites you.

The candy you whistle, the whistle you eat!

I retract my uninformed comment. Thank you.

When I read that article, my assumption was that people rated all the presidents whose name they recognized and then they just filled in the rest. Your point is valid and I agree with the idea but it requires that people know the policies and impact of each president.

No.

I genuinely cannot be sure if this comment is sarcastic:

ZAMN After 4 years the valentines gurl with heart eyes are bacc but now with a aesthetic hair and a totally normal and doing totally normal actions like a ritual succing my soul as hecc with a straw lmao, I continue to appreciate how great you are creating this type of totally normal and fun roleplays with this characters with very relaxing and fun triggers like the soul suction with the straw that made me melt how ticklish and relaxing it is lol.Your content is and will be entertaining and relaxing.

When Georgia voters cast ballots in person, they use Dominion ballot marking devices, which then print a paper ballot with a QR code and text indicating the voter’s choices. Scanners read the QR code to tabulate ballots. But legislators say voters tell them they distrust the codes because they can’t be sure they’ll match their choices.

That’s not a bad idea all by itself. As someone points out in the article, though, there isn’t enough time to get all the new scanners in place before the next election so the timing will create some chaos. I suspect that, even if the chaos is not one of the main goals, it is at least a bonus.

Edited with explanation and alternate link.

I suspect you would enjoy the story of Furbeowulf.

You can thank Norman Vincent Peale for that.

I believe they are pointing out that, despite the fact that this is being done by a group that is trying to make Trump look bad, it will be viewed as making him look good to those on the far right. They like dictators so long as they’re part of the in-group.

Hephaestus seems the most likely to leave me alone. The gods are so capricious that I’d prefer to not have their attention.

They said he couldn’t move the Georgia RICO case to federal court, making it less likely that any other defendant will be able to, either. It can still go to the Supreme Court which may change things. Saved you a click.

You could improve this by comparing it to someone beheading a statue of Jesus at the state capitol. I don’t know if that has happened, but it would be more likely to elicit the response you describe.

“I am calling for clarifying legislation to be adopted in accordance with our State Constitution that prohibits satanic displays in our Capitol building and on all state owned property. I am calling for legislation to be adopted that makes it legal to display the Ten Commandments in our Capitol, in all buildings owned by the state, and in our public schools.”

That a single, continuous quote from a state representative. In two back-to-back sentences, they said that the religious display is unconstitutional and it should be legal to have a religious display. Amazing.
