Bring back the tiny neural nets!! I love them so. Back to the adorably janky days of fun AI I say. We had something there and now we just have fascism.

Specific examples of what I’ve done & seen other poll workers do to make voting fairer:
1) Get eligible voters back on track after a PW accidentally puts wrong information into an electronic roster.
2) Correct a fellow PW who was incorrectly requiring that a drivers license have a current address.

My broken record, more true of the upcoming election more than ever; Your county needs competent, rule-following poll workers with backbones. To the lawyers reading this, our training is perfect for this role. Others, we need you, too.

On the plus side, I suppose "write so many words of pure description and introspection that you'll vomit if you write another" is one way to get over a fear of dialogue.

it actually makes a lot of sense why there's so much overlap in the fanbases for homestuck and umineko (extremely long, plays with multiple layers of metanarrative devices, vriska is there)

Cons of being incapable of writing in a focused, linear manner:
- progress becomes elusive and intangible rather than easily wordcountable
Pros:
- no one reading the finished product can spot where the writer gave up
- progress becomes elusive and intangible rather than easily wordcountable
Pros:
- no one reading the finished product can spot where the writer gave up

But also, more specifically: Playing Slay the Princess would fix her.
