?

I was curious what state and party mostly.

Since states have different procedures and parties treat things differently in each state.

im messing

Virginia

it was two party primary

scanner drops ballots into a cabinet and at the end of the voting period, we collect the paper

scanner then prints multiple receipts recording the votes

So really it's more of an automated vote counter.

and to my knowledge there is no known way to hack these scanners compared to the electric booths

yea

it detects errors too

like when people mark the ballot wrong it doesnt count it

yeah if ppl incorrectly fill out the ballot lol

liek how do you do that outside of doing it purposefully as a protest vote

People are going to incorrectly fill out anything tho

iirc if it goes unfilled it doesnt count those either

usually they clearly state, fill out the fuckign dot , dont check it, dont X it just shade it in

yea

they have instructions

people still fuck it up

we had 2 people invalidate their votes i think

due to marking mistakes

and once you fuck up thats it iirc

no second try

although dont quote me i dont remember exactly

yeah i helped with a municipal election here and we used a similar system

Regarding the ID thing, I def see its merits, especially from experience as a poll worker but I also think that if only citizens can register to vote in the first place then what's the point, outside of ID theft

The assumption that "lefties" make about minorities regarding them does kinda irk me though

soft bigotry of low expectations and all

yeah tbh if anyone knows of a loophole where they can exploit and fraud some id for their vote, they will

oh def

alot fo work though but some must see it as worthy

Id have to see how a place that doesnt have voter IDs do it tbh

i only have one side atm

I think the usual argument for Voter IDs comes with verifying that the election records are consistent with the person claiming to vote.

You can probably find a way around it if you work hard enough, but it's another hurdle to commit fraud.

@Timcast any updates on that crowdpac story you did a while ago

shh hes recording videos now shhhh

He never turns off discord notifications when recording and I always think I’m getting a message when I hear it in his videos lol.

LOL yeah hahaha i always turn mine off so i always know its his 😛

i wonder if theres a problem with YT letting him upload his vids cuz teh last one was like 50 mins ago

that or its a long vid 😃

Still i want to hear how that goes because isn't it meddling in election if they bann one party from earning monies

I mean, they gaid guranteed employment, and not having to be in the poverty class.

Red Ice TV and Faith Goldy were banned from Paypal.

Yea, Tim made a video about that

Wew

in an effort to never win an election again?

So after that whole thing Obama said yesterday about listening to people, this shows up on my news app.

Seems this is the narrative we're going to get. No mention of yesterday's little clip at all.

https://wtvr.com/2018/07/18/obama-says-men-have-been-getting-on-his-nerves-and-urges-empowering-more-women/

How bout his speech at the nelson mandela thing?

Yeah, that's kinda my point.

It's being overlooked outside of a couple niche sources.

Oh, thought you meant something else when you said little clip

Even though it was all over YT?

People were going crazy about it here yesterday.

With like 85k dislikes to 15k likes

YT is, ultimately, limited reach compared to mainstream news.

First thing as well.

Why Nelson Mandela of all people?

Just saying, this is the narrative we are going to receive and not to expect anything to come out of anything.

He should not be a icon at all.

At least someone to aspire to

Nelson Mandela is pretty important for South African Politics.

That alone is going to make him a key figure.

And was also responsible for SA become the shithole it is now

I wouldn't go that far.

Well, maybe he isnt directly responsible, but it hasnt improved since him taking control

And even if it were the case, he has his supporters and did do some good things.

I dont disagree there. Theres good in the bad.

So there's no reason South Africa shouldn't honor him in some way.

But the sum of the parts sum up to SA becoming alot worse off than it is.

I guess. He is an icon who deserves to be remembered.

I just wish people would also get the whole picture, good and bad

You can say that about alot of people. But it's not a reason to tear down celebrations in his name.

Or to tear down statues.

I just think hes overrated, thats all.

ive got like 10-20k$ worth

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/18/zuckerberg-facebook-holocaust-deniers-censorship

I dont like where this narative is heading

And its comming from multiple outlets

Also when they " demote " certain content they are talking about ppl like Tim as well

😡

its all planned

Well facebook and youtube are in a hard place with this

If they straight censor it could trigger exodus of ppl

So they do all these half measures

This narrative is ultimately the goal. The legacy media and powers that be want to reassert control of the internet and stamp out any opposing narratives.

They can't do it on their own and they don't want to pick a fight with the government (due to the 1st amendment) so they go after the social media companies instead.

I get the impression alot of the base employees at YT and FB want to play censor but the leadership is still libertarian.

Well its also economic

They need the ad bucks

Compare Reddit 2012 to Reddit 2018.

They're hitting middle strides. Trying to take pressure off.

Well the discussion is about curration and its scale

So what is facebook going to start basically shadowbanning people? I find that far worse than outright censorship and banning

Some people say they already do.

Its harder to prove

They do it in some cases

Facebook is a very bad actor on many occasions

They like to give info to dictators and such

https://twitter.com/HashtagGriswold/status/1019637648850391040

People have been forcing narratives to enact change through cultural artificial selection for a long time now, but at the risk of sounding hyperbolic lately it's been ramping up to cultural genocide, or memocide I suppose

Yep

Breitbart is always sketchy, but they claim there have been pages banned.

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/06/16/facebook-shadowbans-page-mapping-migrant-refugee-crimes/

The Gateway Pundit is also fairly sketchy but are saying they are seeing massive drops in engagement.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/07/shock-study-facebook-has-eliminated-93-of-traffic-to-top-conservative-websites-since-2016-election/

Not sure how accurate this is, but there's not much a priori reason to doubt Facebook is playing games either.

Ofc they are

And if zuc runs for president you are going to see some shit yet

I can say I know some social media types and they have a definite flavor to them and 'Fake News' is very much a hot area of research right now in the spaces where FB and Google operate.

Lol

Zucc won't run at this point. He's made too many enemies.

Might even be why he got hauled in front of Congress. Nip him early.

Well the Cambridge analytica scandal dmged him

But he could still run imo

Honestly they dont have anyone else who could stop bernie at this point

And i highly doubt dnc wants bernie to run

Bernie's out.

They could even try for the oprah meme

Also, interesting article for those who get concerned by Google and FB.

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/08/how-google-could-rig-the-2016-election-121548

Just to spite him

Oprah said no

Old. But still troubling in a way.

Yeah google has massive power to rig

Thats why them behaving progressive is worriing

It's kind of really scary how much power they have.

And with all their investments into AI one day they could one day own the majority of the work force.

That's far too much power for one corporation to have.

They could do far more.

As it stands, Google and Facebook have more information on private citizens than anyone in the history of humanity.

Think about what has happened in police states and you can start to see the problem.

Google, Reddit, et al. Pushed Net Neutrality, but it would only have applied to the telecoms.

Ironic, then, that when discussing Net Neutrality it originally was applied heavily to them.

3 years ago:

https://money.cnn.com/2015/01/20/technology/facebook-fake-news/index.html?iid=HP_LN

is when this started.

evil plans you say?

Not evil plans. Just exploiting their powers to make outcomes they consider morally correct.

Or happen to be beneficial.

Though come to think of it, Google no longer claims "don't be evil" as a motto...

My personal thought: Net Neutrality is going to backfire on the internet giants. It'll be applied to both them and the telecoms. They made a huge effort to convince everyone it was a good idea. And then they got everyone angry at them for unrelated issues.

So now everything is on the table. They (Reddit in particular) are hounding the telecoms. But this is making the infrastructure to regulate massive social networks by extension.

The question is when and who will be in power when it does. I will predict we see new regulations before 2020. Balance of power will heavily dictate the terms.

That regulations become a backdoor for the government to manipulate and control the populace is probably inevitable. We are between Scylla and Charybdis on this issue.

Also, regulations might very possibly create an economic downturn.

There's alot of hype and money in the sector and poorly designed regulations could do alot to cut off growth and burst the bubble.

is there any other type of regulations?

sporting ring regulations

i mean aside from poorly designed ones

then no?

but it might have been true..

```Assemblyman Marc Levine (D-San Rafael), called registration “a common sense accountability measure to track weapons that can be used for great harm to society.” ```

all i can say is this is BS

"ban guns that can reload" is how I read that

bullet button is already a slower system compared to detachable magazine, yet they act like they stopped the bump stock

WE just want COMMON SENSE GUN REFORM. No one wants your guns. No one is trying to create a hitlist for harassment. No one is going to get thrown in jail.

“ Israel passes controversial law reserving national self-determination for Jews “ by Scott Neuman on NPR

Israel’s parliament passes bill making it official that Israel is exclusively a nation for Jews. Across the board the media is referring to this as controversial. If this were a white nation establishing an ethnocentric state they would be crying nazi and holocaust. Why do the Jews get a pass?

http://archive.today/MZoPf

Oh shit it's a Jewish ethnostate now

Exactly, you get called a nazi for complaining about that.

I didn't think it would be possible

Wait, who calls you a nazi for complaining about this?

Try it

Complaing about Jews making a ethnostate.

Go to twitter

Like muslims as well.

Complain about this

See what happens

I mean

how could we be called a nazi?

nazi's support the zionists apparently

I guess the regular characters that call people anti-semites left and right?

Are they really that prevalent on social media platforms?

You will be called anti Semitic if you push back on this. Probably a Nazi too. Ironically if you’re too in favor of this, you’ll be called a Nazi too. The only other nation that the media would let get away with this is South Africa.

This is literally moving further in the direction of being a nazi-like state.

I agree

They’ve been mass deporting blacks too. This bill is their 14 words put into law.

They were deporting illegal migrants who got through the border.

Who happen to be black.

They aren't deporting citizens.

Oh, so they're just enforcing borders

Yeah

That's completely fine. I don't see a problem with that

There are actually lots of legal Ethiopians in Israel and government programs to bring more.

Yeah come to think about it, they also have palestenians living there

And serving

Yup

You dont have many isrelis in palestine

Druze, Bedouins, Palestinians, etc.

Israel is 20% arab.

Anyways if it was an ethnostate they are doing a bad job of it.

It's just america

Huh, it would be really ironic if the Jews became the new nazis

Enforcing borders isnt a issue, but the above bit that was linked, was something that is now part of their constitution

Israel was always for Jews now it’s just written. I don’t think it will change policy.

If they start deporting non Jewish citizens I’d be concerned.

What does "right of national self-determination" mean? o.O

nazi obvs

Im trying to actually find what the bill contains

But im failing to find any article that actually gives a link or spells out the bill

It was a change/addition to their constitution

But other then removing arabic as a official language, and the bit of exluciding 'self determination' to jewish people, cant find many specifics

Yeah Im bad. I got mad in advance
