Means you are accepted on a honor system, because you're new.

Yeah... I don't get all the hate for the interpreters. Not all deaf people are comfortable with CC as well.

We need more people to be this self aware, and honest enough to just say when they don't have a formed opinion. On the current times it seems that you must have an opinion on everything instantly.

Was there a genetic sequencing done to compare the viruses? No. Will there ever be? No. BS

Come on... "The tweet garnered 304 retweets and 403 likes." How can someone be so buried in their bubble to use Twitter metrics as a metric for anything?

The only person I have ever heard talking about false positives was Elon Musk. Nobody seems to care that false positive rates could be astronomical.

Yup. If illegals become citizens my incentive as a legal non-resident alien is to fall out of status, become illegal to become citizen. That's just perverse logic...

I wanted to talk about voting for a while. I'm Brazilian and I'd like to share what we do and how we deal with voting. (And why even the thought of mail-in voting is completely mind-boggling for me).

First of all, voting in Brazil is not considered a right, it's considered a duty. This means that voting is mandatory from 18 to 70, and not voting carries sanctions.

Secondly, to be able to vote you have to get a voter id. This voter id does not have a picture, but to vote on your precinct you have to present at least one picture id.

Besides, for the past few years every single voter was registered again with biometrics. This means that the ballot only allows for new votes to be cast after you unlock it (on a separate station) with your fingerprint.

I can elaborate much more. Like explaining the sanctions for not voting (you can't get a passport), or explaining that after 3 election cycles not voting your record is purged. But just to think that a 330 million people 1st world country with optional voting can't handle voting IDs (an even allows for absentee voting and mail-in ballots) when a 220 million third-world mandatory one can is baffling.

That’s true. I had not thought about it from that angle. It might be also a big warning of a real red line to China
