It would seem so. Maybe I should have specified that I like the show myself too.

You don't have me convinced and I genuinely don't understand how this could be the popular opinion. You absolutely can't convince me that with a well designed system it would be easy to cheat when compared to a piece of paper.

Why the hell would software need to be more complex than a few text lines that store the results of your selections? An amateur coder could create a simple multiple choice selection system in an afternoon.

Why does anything other than a local network need to be involved? It can literally function similarly to paper ballots and have a central recipient machine that collects the results that is then handed over to a ballot authority. Please keep going on for hours about the flaws instead of simplifying the problem.

A machine that is sitting in a voting hall is as easily tampered with as a paper ballot, and it's not going to be done by the average person. Anyone who could manipulate these machines could figure out how to mess with a paper ballot.

You can't 'run out' of a digital vote. You can't 'miscount' a digital vote. If both methods have issues, why choose the one that is OBVIOUSLY easier to manipulate? Oops! Someone misplaced the piece of paper you put in. The year is 2024 and all of the possible issues you've just brought up can be solved but it seems that it would be way too easy to actually have accurate vote counts and one less voter suppression tactic in the pocket of shady governments, so they won't.

Why is it possible to run out of something that could (should) be handled entirely digitally?

"Maybe I live in the future..."

Damn Trump must've won then if future people are somehow more ignorant.

This game has no soul, it's a cross universe amalgamation of Ubisoft games but somehow manages to do nothing interesting with any of the characters or cosmetics.

Then the gameplay is just COD but somehow stiffer.

Just look at The Finals, sure, plenty of people have issues with it, but there's genuine creativity in the cosmetics and it brings something new as a shooter.

Sorry, for the pedants out there, 'why don't all stadiums have parking garage systems instead of flat parking lots?'

Why don't stadiums have their parking in large parking garages? The traffic for exiting the stadium already sucks as it is, why not a multiple entrance/exit garage system?

They're not going to do that, instead it will be 3 slow ass cashiers at best and you'll be waiting to have to stand there awkwardly while some dude tries to act like he'd rather not be dead instead of doing what he's currently doing and you're trying your best not to seem like as ass because you've been waiting for 10 minutes just to get to that point.

You'll get the worst of both worlds.

(ps, just do curbside pickup. You don't get to pick your produce or meats but it's very easy and you spend so much less time grocery shopping)

Sorry brother, not my problem. I was born well after those events occurred and so did these people.

Solving the problem of having an advantage based on race is not going to be solved by giving "the right" people an advantage based on race.

Economic factors should be the most weighted if any advantage is needed to be given.

Damn, someone should go back and tell my teen self that bad words aren't allowed.

I am a fucking disgrace.

As someone who lives in Texas and watches the biggest trucks be driven by the worst drivers on the road, I agree with the extra license bit. I also believe they should only be allowed to park in specifically designated spots, considering how often they don't fit in a parking spot and block parts of parking lots.
