@Popehat@mastodon.social Before they tweet, maybe they should have an open discussion with their children whether forcing their children to work in a sweat shop cause them to hate their parents or is it just a lifetime of Lee Greenwood concerts, home schooling and shitty parenting that brought them to this point

So if you depend on email for marketing, all of your content is going into the trash, unsubscribed, or marked as spam because Google thinks they can force their shitty AI into everthing with no consequences

Line looks to be around 25 minutes (people voting after work I suspect) Utah has electronic voting machines that have an attached paper printer. When you complete your ballot, the paper record is printed in a separate sealed box and displayed for your verification like a light box 2/

Only a couple interactions of note. While in line, an election 'expert' tried to claim the right to a receipt/electronic copy of ballot so he could prove his ballot hadn't been altered. What he was advocating for was clearly a security vulnerability and sounded like some Lindel/Flynn nonsense. Poll supervisor was polite and even asked main official about it (not possible, see printed ballot explanation above). Luckily, election truther had a buddy who talked him down. 3/

Other interaction of note was maximum cognitive dissonance. Gay couple entered the library with MAGA hat and LGBTQIA for Trump t-shirt. Think the other person had a campaign shirt on, but couldn't make it out. Apparently turned away by the poll worker, milled around entrance until they got a library patron to take their picture and then wandered off. Suppose there will be an aggrieved social media post incoming, but showed a lack of audience awareness if they were expecting to make a splash
