Yeah… I didn’t get the fingolfin reference either… but their wording was wonderfully awful.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

Melkior/Morgoth, they saw that Arda was a deeply flawed creation and attempted to correct it before existence was sung into being.

After the fact their actions are certainly viewed as evil by the world they tried to change but had the rest of the Vala joined his song the world simply would have been different, not worse.

I’m uncertain, but it’s certainly quite possible these folks were trolling. My main point was that it’s not as much about what the folks in sheets intended as much as it’s about how they’re perceived. Elections are pretty important and people are pretty sensitive right now so even if these folks did it for the lulz they may have actually intimidated and suppressed some votes.

Yeah, or something like “My body my choice” there are lots of pins or patches you could draw inference (sometimes incorrectly, of course) from.

Also, as a note, you could probably use concealer on the exterior to tone down the crazy as fuck black veins.

Best of luck!

Sure but what happened in the civil rights era was that anyone who was black was assumed to be voting against the racist as fuck candidate… so if you showed up and were black you’d be run off, beaten, or lynched.

Let’s say you’re me - I’m a man with a beard who wears skirts - I show up to vote and take a wild guess who I’m voting for… it’s not the chucklefuck that wants to persecute all my trans friends. Based on appearance alone (including swag you might have pinned to your bag) you could try and make a guess about how someone may vote.

Yea - to clarify I’m not a lawyer and, while I’m legally curious, this isn’t something I’ve read a lot of. I know that during the Civil Rights era Johnson sent the national guard into some voting locations to specifically keep police and sheriffs out… in theory that was resolved with the voting rights act but the Supreme Court decided to effectively repeal most of that so… I dunno. I’d like to clarify that my statement regarding police officers was entirely speculation.

The information about fraud reporting is as accurate as I can manage though - the federal government has a page to look up that information on a state by state basis.

I disagree, masked people at a voting place carries an implicit threat of violence… this may be some dumb teenagers or it may be crazy sov cit folks… either way their presence absolutely could scare off people intending to vote.

People who are obscuring their identity are usually doing so to avoid notice or repercussions for their actions… I think it’s reasonable to expect people in a voting location to be clearly visible and recognizable.

So, unfortunately, the police are often not politically neutral and usually skew towards a conservative bent - this is also likely explicitly outside their jurisdiction since it involves a federal election (and America has a really dark history of law enforcement interfering with elections) so, charitably, they may have been unable to act even if they wanted to.

The correct authority in this case would be one of these folks I believe (I’m not a Georgia native):

https://law.georgia.gov/resources/election-fraud-complaint-hotline

https://www.eac.gov/voters/register-and-vote-in-your-state?field_state_target_id=18206

In actuality, it might be best to start by just calling these folks (phone number from the page above).

404-656-2871

That’s almost certainly super illegal. Unless there’s a weird local exemption It’s illegal to misrepresent yourself as a government official (this usually comes up with law enforcement but it covers all “regular” public employees - i.e. not private contractors hired by the government).

Please report this and include as many photos or other physical proof you may have as I really suspect it’s an attempt at voter intimidation.

Seems like run of the mill super illegal voter intimidation - maybe aimed at discouraging black voters by invoking images of the klan?

Werewolf gloves are usually pretty plain outside of crazy nails and some hair - you could probably trim down the nails and just pull off any hair they glued on.

You might also have some luck finding someone who hand makes them for cosplay outfits since folks need all sorts of customizations when it comes to the realm of cosplay… molding them with an extra finger would probably be trivial.

Probably. If I needed a dictionary that’s likely the second place I’d turn (after trying yum/apt-get/whatever “install dictionary”)

Boners are a natural reaction that’s pretty much out of our control so getting one and hiding it isn’t a bad thing.

It’s not okay nonconsensually involve someone in your stuff so making someone aware of your boner is absolutely not okay. Ditto for taking advantage of a situation like that to grope/fondle the person.

I’d need to know more to be sure (and to know specifically information you don’t know) but it doesn’t sound like you did anything to make anyone feel uncomfortable so I think there’s nothing wrong on that count.

It does sound like you’re extremely tightly wound sexually though, so there may be some stuff you should examine internally - like why that was so exciting for you. It sounds like you may need a more healthy sexual outlet if you’re reacting this strongly.

No, even if my neighbor had musical taste that perfectly matched my own it’d be disturbing.

I was tricked - I expected a community reference!

Debate.

You don’t need to do this in a formal setting, I think groups like Philosophy clubs are excellent for learning how better to support an argument (and they’re usually quite positive and supportive settings).

Imo the only way to get better at debating is exercise. If you have an idea of the topic it’s always a good idea to do research to build your familiarity but rhetorical skills gain with practice.

Eeh, it’s got a really fucking dark history built on colonialism.

If we’re going with a mountain with dudes carved in it can we go with Thunderhorse mountain?
