Looking at the reviews, ignoring the mega hats, it seems part of the app does not work from time to time

I think it’s good to be humbled

Every region in the world has its way of doing things. When new layers of control are added, it makes some people nervous.

When the new controls are perhaps mismanaged and corrupt, promising to do more than advertised, it makes some people angry. Especially during an increase of lawlessness and corruption of the central government. Especially when it uses the same messaging which has already harmed many

I bet this is just correlation. Frequent reliance on AI ( and not just using it as a tool for a specific reason)

Apologies, no offense meant.

Aaaaarrgg! This is horrible they stopped AI summaries, which I was hoping would help corrupt a leading institution protecting free thought and transfer of knowledge.

I’m am glad you asked this, because I did not know and had to look it up, so I found pgp can have multiple signatures of people saying this is a trustworthy key and helps show people it’s really you.

But if you used your regular key, how do people know it came from you ?

It’s going to get wild

Nothing is stopping the AI summaries from using social media as the primary source

Now you hit me curious too. This was my source on Texas https://www.texasalmanac.com/place-types/town

Also the total number of total towns is over 4,000 with only 3k unincorporated, I did get the numbers wrong even in Texas.

I had looked at Wikipedia but could not find totals, only lists

I know the Texas count is accurate, I looked it up. I was too lazy and uninspired to look at other states. However I would be surprised if it were not at least half the corporate areas, nationally in total?

I’m a paper ballot and small town guy, I’m not a mega and my life was saved by vaccines. Also I indirectly help people get abortions ( I live in Texas). In all actuality I’m closer to being a communist than anything else.

So, if people can agree that exit polls are off, the next question is why?

If you look at the history of exit polling they are only off, in a historical sense, when there is mass ballot stuffing.

So that leaves either there is cheating or somehow Americans are so exceptional they overturn precedent.

And don’t forget the other stats tests. One of them which sorts the precincts by size and compares the percentage of votes each candidate received. It should be a kind of line. In California it is, in many other states it is not.

So not only do Americans have to be unique, in one way. They have to be exceptional in other ways to explain the other tests, used over the works fur generations.

All of this while the hidden counting of ballots is going on, without enough recounts .

Occam’s razor and all that.

So many states have problems with exit polls being correct , that all the major broadcasters and news agencies, in the USA, stopped using them a few years ago to predict many races.

Exit polls are used elsewhere reliably to detect large scale manipulation of ballots, and have been used by the United Nations. They used to work in the USA

Mail in ballot counting is reliable. This leaves electronic ballots as the only means to change that many votes. Indeed, if you look at states that use more traditional methods of counting their exit polls generally are accurate.

In addition many states fail other statistical tests that are also used to detect cheating in the primaries for both parties and general races.

Based on statistical tests that have been accepted worldwide for generations there is cheating happening. This is ignored by both parties and the vast majority of people .

In my opinion nothing was proved that these counting companies have accurate results. This is because most of what they do is hidden by trade secrets. And the USA has a lack of recounts that do not use these very systems.

Unincorporated towns in Texas is 4k, I would guess the number of very unincorporated is a ratio of 2:1 nation wide I am not sure.

But using some rough math , and being incredibly stubborn to prove my point, that brings the total number up to 60k, of which 1/3 ( maybe) have seen economic hardship

That election companies cannot be trusted, but the deniers were careful to not approach this scientifically or convincingly. Offering instead pseudo science and illogical schemes done by madmen. Because of this they set back the paper vote movements by decades in some states.

Another thing that draws them followers is that tens of thousands of small towns have died economically, in the last three decades, but no programs to help them, and no sympathy in the large cities

A hundred years ago most food was grown a days walk away from a person. With no Diesel production or distribution, which some flairs knock out, there is no warehouse refrigeration.

Even with reserves, there are spare parts drying up. Trucks, ships and planes need constant work.

Some areas would get by, grains and beans can be moved without all that. Probably a huge percentage would survive. Barely

I read some books by Alice Miller that discussed some childhoods of authoritarian rulers and they were all of unloved. They had not one adult stick up for them, be their advocate or helper, during their childhood years.

Many of us as children have been unwanted or unloved by our caregivers. Most of us had at least one adult: an uncle, grandmother, teacher etc, who truly tried to help at least once.

What the monsters in history had in common is an absence of evidence of even that happening for them. And their revenge as adults was terrible.
