It does make sense from a payment processing standpoint. It doesn't make sense to spend more money on creating the transaction than is actually being sent.

I've always said the letters and was surprised when I heard someone say 'gooey' when I entered college.

Still don't like it.

I once read a comment that said something like, "if your post would be considered racist if you wrote 'black men' instead of just 'men', then it's very likely misandrist."

Good words to live by if you aren't an asshole.

It would seem so. Maybe I should have specified that I like the show myself too.

You don't have me convinced and I genuinely don't understand how this could be the popular opinion. You absolutely can't convince me that with a well designed system it would be easy to cheat when compared to a piece of paper.

Why the hell would software need to be more complex than a few text lines that store the results of your selections? An amateur coder could create a simple multiple choice selection system in an afternoon.

Why does anything other than a local network need to be involved? It can literally function similarly to paper ballots and have a central recipient machine that collects the results that is then handed over to a ballot authority. Please keep going on for hours about the flaws instead of simplifying the problem.

A machine that is sitting in a voting hall is as easily tampered with as a paper ballot, and it's not going to be done by the average person. Anyone who could manipulate these machines could figure out how to mess with a paper ballot.

You can't 'run out' of a digital vote. You can't 'miscount' a digital vote. If both methods have issues, why choose the one that is OBVIOUSLY easier to manipulate? Oops! Someone misplaced the piece of paper you put in. The year is 2024 and all of the possible issues you've just brought up can be solved but it seems that it would be way too easy to actually have accurate vote counts and one less voter suppression tactic in the pocket of shady governments, so they won't.

Why is it possible to run out of something that could (should) be handled entirely digitally?

"Maybe I live in the future..."

Damn Trump must've won then if future people are somehow more ignorant.

This game has no soul, it's a cross universe amalgamation of Ubisoft games but somehow manages to do nothing interesting with any of the characters or cosmetics.

Then the gameplay is just COD but somehow stiffer.

Just look at The Finals, sure, plenty of people have issues with it, but there's genuine creativity in the cosmetics and it brings something new as a shooter.

Sorry, for the pedants out there, 'why don't all stadiums have parking garage systems instead of flat parking lots?'
