Is this objectively terrible design? Sure. A usability nightmare? Yep. Actually ugly? I mean, no accounting for taste, but yeah, it is.
But man I miss this era. I’m sick to death of every app looking like the same flat shit. All rectangles all the time. I’d rather have a glorious mess
Sorcerer (1977), Dir. William Friedkin
There. I hope this helps.
The two horses stop fighting, in shock. The first horse turns to the second and says, "Hey look, a talking dog."
The Greyhound bus screeches to a halt and the dog leaps out. “Stop this! Can’t you see you LOVE each other?!“ he screams.
first horse leaps out of his fuel-efficient hybrid and chases after him. And they start fighting at the edge of the cliff. "We grew up in the same barn, we ate the same hay- we were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do!" the first horse yells. "I can't let you do this."
And they're a here and a there and a here and a there and a here and the second horse is running out of gas. So he pulls his Mustang convertible off to the side of the road and leaps out. He bolts for a nearby cliff to end it all.
Their manager the dog shouts out, "Stop! No! Those were my two best horses! They grew up in the same barn, they ate the same hay, they were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do! I have to stop them." He leaps into his Greyhound bus and peels out after them.
And he leaps into his fuel-efficient hybrid and goes tearing off after the second horse.
And the second horse jumps into his Mustang convertible and drives off.
"Oh no!" cries the first horse. "My best friend! We grew up in the same barn, we ate the same hay- we were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do! I've got to do something!"
The second horse has had it. He storms over into the Winner's Circle and punches the first horse. "We grew up in the same barn! We ate the same hay! We were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do! This is what I get for years of friendship? Well screw you too!"
So the horses line up at the gate for the third and final race. The gate goes up, the gun goes off, and they're a here and a there and a here and a there and the first horse wins, AGAIN!
We grew up in the same barn, we ate the same hay- we were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do, and you know I'd do anything for you. I promise, you'll win this last race."
"I'd better."
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," the first horse said. "It was just, the jockey was whipping my ass so hard, and there was this cute filly in the stable I was showing off for, and- I'm so sorry.
Now, the second horse is getting a little upset. He storms over and shouts at the first horse, "We grew up in the same barn, we ate the same hay- we were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do. I thought we had a deal! I thought we were friends!"
So the horses line up at the gate for the second race. The gate goes up, the gun goes off, and they're a here and a there and a here and a there and the first horse wins, AGAIN!
The first horse apologizes. "I was just so excited, with the gate, the gun, the here, the there. I'm so sorry. We grew up in the same barn, we ate the same hay- we were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do. I promise, you'll win the second race."
The second horse comes over and says, "Hey, I thought you were going to let me win that one. I mean, we grew up in the same barn, we ate the same hay- we were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do."
I promise, you'll win the first race."
Well, it comes around time to run the first race, and the horses line up at the gate. The gate goes up, the gun goes off, and they're a here and a there and a here and a there and the first horse wins!
we were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do. You gotta help me out man!"
The first horse replied, "Of course I'll help you! I mean, we grew up in the same barn, we ate the same hay- we were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do.
"Hey, man- I need you to do me a huge favor. You always beat me by just a little bit, and, well, my owner is threatening to send me off to the glue factory if I don't win at least one race today. I mean, we grew up in the same barn, ate the same hay-
If you’d like.
See, there were these two horses. They grew up in the same barn, they ate the same hay- they were like two peas in a pod, which is really hard for two horses to do.
One day, a big series of races came up, and the second horse walked over to the first horse and said,
Listen to the smooth sounds of Bong Kong to start today. It's a #songoftheday

Incident Report: the holodeck is glitching again. One entire corner of the space is collapsing in on itself.
You can show us more about how smuggling works and introduce lovable scoundrels who are a counterpoint to the theme of a decaying and legalistic society
Or even just visually show us the consequences! Show us bad things happening!
Also, if the most popular character in your franchise is a smuggler and you’ve got a blockade in your plot maybe show us smugglers? The audience clearly likes them. Han Solo is Rhett Butler without antebellum baggage.
today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason
Today’s #songoftheday has opinions about contrived ethical dilemmas. Which of god’s creatures would you condemn?

To be fair, I won’t see the headlines because I’ll be too hungover from the celebrating.
There simply is no way to maintain both the secrecy of the ballot *and* the security of the system. Definitionally, electronic voting systems need a threat model that incorporates nation state actors with insider knowledge!
