As a stepfather of a child since he was age 3 (age 9 now), I agree whole-heartedly with your second point. I have a very deep emotional attachment to him, and I've never felt like I'm missing out on anything because he's not my biological son. Full disclaimer, I have no biological children to compare my feelings/experience with. I don't feel the comparison is necessary, just adding that in case others feel it is important.

After seeing this thread I added the following to my vimrc:

  highlight link NonASCII Error
  autocmd Syntax * :syntax match NonASCII "[^\d0-\d127]"
Obviously haven't been using it long, and I'm not confident enough in my vim knowledge to vouch for its correctness, but it works in the limited amount of scenarios I tested so far.

Did you view it on a larger screen? I viewed it in mobile, I appreciate the design, but I do find it hard to read with only a few words fitting on a single line. I wonder if the poster you replied to also viewed it on mobile.

Even when I hold my phone sideways, reading such short lines fatigues my eyes quickly.

Two individual examples is a far cry from all Republican watchers being thrown out.

In the video you linked no one is thrown out, they are kept out.

Of course fraud happens, but plenty of studies show that it so rare that races need to be very tight for it to affect the outcome.

I agree that transparency is an issue, but ballot counting are state and county or township run operations. You can expect a lot of inconsistencies and mistakes. I'm sure you've heard Hanlon's razor.

Political divide is the problem, which is why I have issue with your post. You're repeating a lot of the baseless claims that are furthering the divide.

Where were all Republican poll watchers thrown out? I see no one claiming that.

The county officials where the 138k typo happened reported it as such.

Who says poll watchers weren't present where the mail transcribing videos were recorded?

Where is there no limit on the number of poll watchers allowed inside counting facilities?

I know zero about Benford's law, there is at least one argument that the available data is not sufficient or does not lead one to believe voter fraud occurred:

I will be watching for more information on this subject.

Poll watchers weren't let in to the Michigan facility because Republicans (and Democrats) had already exceeded the maximum number of allowed poll watchers.

Biden didn't receive 138k votes to Trump's zero. That was a typo which was immediately corrected.

Poll workers do transcribe votes from damaged ballots. One poll worker reads votes from the damaged ballots, another fills in the new ballot. Of this team of two, one is a Democrat, one is a Republican. The videos of this process that some people shared crops out poll watchers.

I agree that if poll watchers were not allowed to adequately perform their functions in any state that is not acceptable. It is not evidence of fraud.

The guild name is in all caps. That was a deliberate choice in an attempt to be edgy, or to attract attention. If the guild creator didn't realize most of the attention he would attract would be negative, now he does.

The forced name change is appropriate/deserved. I doubt this article would exist if not for the Hearthstone debacle.

Or I haven't progressed with the rest of the internet and my cynicism belongs in the past.
