  • You are factually correct about “30% of the vote in CA”. But I think you are misinterpreting the data. PEW says that in 2020 96% of people voted strictly along party lines. PEW shows 30% of registered voters in CA are GOP or GOP leaning. Which means whoever the GOP candidate is would have received 29% of the voter REGARDLESS of who the candidate was. And before you point out the 1% “gain”, Biden “gained” 6% over registered DEM voters using the same metrics in CA.

    (I sourced PEW because they were the first Google results that had the stats at the detail level I needed)






  • At least at the Faires I’ve worked at no one cares.

    In fact, I have a second-hand anecdote that one faire staff has a screen accurate combadge inside their doublet. When they see people doing stuff like this, they run over and pull them aside. They would whip out the badge and get in their face. “Does the Prime Directive mean NOTHING to you?! This is an uncontacted pre-warp civilization. You are ruining YEARS of undercover research! Who is your captain? I’m going to have your court martialled if you don’t get under cover FAST.”
