| techrights[sec]_ | just an unfounded guess though | May 05 15:49 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | seeing lots ot typos above, i reckon you can work it out past them | May 05 16:01 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but the key point is, yes, there are too many unknowns and it's still mutation, owing partly to | May 05 16:01 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | it made a massive comeback in ASEAN | May 05 16:01 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | a much simpler attitude is, spend some time on masks, distance | May 05 16:07 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | or maybe you only enforce when you feel like it | May 05 16:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | of course saying that to cops to their face is not a good idea | May 05 16:45 |
| techrights[sec]_ | Dilbert covered something a little like that. The workers were being | May 05 16:47 |
| techrights[sec]_ | pressured to work unpaid overtime and the management called it "being competitive" so Alice responded that she | May 05 16:47 |
| techrights[sec]_ | would just compensate by "being competitive"6~with a few hundred dollars worth of office supplies. | May 05 16:47 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | and people parking in the polling station to harass you | May 05 16:55 |

| techrights[sec]_ | Sounds like some mismanagement or miscommmunication affected the outcome strongly whether intentinonal or not | May 05 17:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | from what i can gather, in our precinct, it's about some nuisance knockers "buying" your vote | May 05 17:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and stuffing many envelopes in your door | May 05 17:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | then asklng to have a chat even AFTER the election | May 05 17:39 |
