  • I experienced this on my instance on just regular desktop browsing for a while, so I don’t think it’s necessarily an issue with your client; it did eventually just go away on its own (somewhere around the time the instance backend updated, I’m sure), but I also found that switching on “show hidden posts” fixed it as well, and since I don’t really have any hidden posts it didn’t make much difference. Downside was I had to do that manually every time, but it did at least get me to the second page.


  • It does seem pretty safe to assume that the ballot was signed sometime between the time it was printed and the date it was postmarked which, given the fast-paced and tumultuous nature of American politics, surely cannot be that wide of a window. And if the purpose is to somehow catch people submitting ballots after the cutoff date, surely one would expect a wouldbe election fraudster to lose no sleep in also falsifying an earlier date, making one wonder why this information is all that pertinent to begin with.

    Now, a more cynical person might assume that this was just another one of those little traps specifically engineered to attract common mistakes (knowing full well that some of us are still putting the year down as “2015” because goddammit, what the hell time is it?) which can then be selectively enforced depending on whether or not you want to invalidate a large swath of votes. But I mean, surely our very trustworthy elected officials would never do such a thing…











  • Man, I don’t give a shit about the imminent sociopolitical and economic hellscape. I got numb to that six months into his first term. But I am very likely going to be suffering through the slow-motion environmental catastrophe this inarticulate slug is about to cause for the rest of my life. If the Department of Heteronormativity Enforcement comes a-knocking 'cause they found out I watched Thor: Ragnarok and Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy in the same weekend, at least I know where my claw hammer is, but I don’t have high hopes for restarting the gulf stream by throwing a brick through it.
