  • It’d be nice to line up his quotes on the subject in chronological order, since it seems like the last one would be about how his infidelities were his biggest failings in life. People say a lot of stuff to rationalize their behaviour while they are still doing it. But with time and space, can put together that the problem wasn’t that other people “chose” to feel hurt about it. They will always be hurt if it came by surprise and you didn’t have consent first. Hell, even in proper polygamous relationships with as much consideration and communication as possible, it can be a challenge to not hurt anyone.



  • Given my previous experiences with social interactions, it is 100% an e-mail I expect to get and send at some point.

    One time, when I called the bank to do something with my account, about 5 minutes in my mom’s phone rings, she told me they called her to verify that I was interacting with them. We lived in a small town at the time. The bank couldn’t tell for sure if I was really me or someone that just knew a lot about me but was just reading the answers off a list or something.

    But I suppose I’d rather them err on the side of caution ultimately.


















  • The machines are more easily verifiable than the paper ballots. They just can’t find anyone smart enough to verify for the republican side, not that they trust the opinions of experts even on their own payroll.

    It’s like, to all the people on their side, the machines are some scary, unknowable box that nobody understands what goes on inside them… some sort of devil magic or something. How can anyone know how to make sure the machine hasn’t been tampered with?

    In actuality, they specifically want paper ballots because the ways to tamper with them are more well known and accessible to them. The machines wouldn’t allow for it.
