This is why it's (sort of?) legal to do what they're doing: paying for someone to vote a specific way is illegal for sure. And paying someone to vote is also illegal. But I believe that paying someone to REGISTER to vote is legal so long as you do not actively restrict who can participate. It's also okay to pay someone to write down a plan on HOW to vote, and to pay someone to write shit on the internet.
So yeah. It's very borderline. But I think it technically passes muster
Fair enough on the first point!
The interesting scenario re: Polaris A's age would be if a larger, younger original star merged with a smaller, much older star. You'd have a small amount of late-stage byproducts in an otherwise relatively early-stage star. That would definitely make any age models 'confused' heh
I could imagine a scenario where the math works out such that the star appears a lot younger than it is despite being the product of a merger of two older stars, based on the masses and ages of the contributing objects and the amount of different material contributed by each
This is only sort of true, unfortunately. Polaris is a two-star system: Polaris Aa and Polaris B.
Polaris B is much older than sharks, by several billion years.
Polaris Aa appears to be younger than sharks, at a measley 50 million years old, compared to sharks' 420 million years
HOWEVER it is unclear whether Polaris Aa is actually that young. Scientists believe that, based on some contradictory findings, that measurement may be inaccurate if Polaris Aa is formed from two different stars that merged. In that scenario, the model we use to calculate star age would no longer work and could give wildly inaccurate estimates of the star's true age
TMYK
Dishonest men still get to vote though
Sometimes the toothpick tapers too quickly though and I have break it or shave a bit off to make it fit all the way into the port
I'm not even supposed to be here today!
How many ways can we rewrite the allegory of the cave?
It is important to note that while a FICO score is roughly equivalent to "trustworthiness", the three credit agency scores (Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian) are NOT meant to reflect your trustworthiness directly. Rather, they are specifically designed to inform lenders of your profitability for them.
It's an important distinction because having a an outstanding payment history alone won't improve these scores, if you aren't utilizing available credit and maintaining some running balance with lenders.
Basically, if you're just going to borrow money and never pay any interest on the loans, you aren't actually a source of profit and therefore aren't a desirable customer for lenders and creditors
Fwiw after that whole thing made news she released a press statement that did call him a war criminal

Because voting regulations are left to the State governments, and each state government does it slightly differently, often with designs that are specifically intended to disenfranchise specific voters.
Further, because of the Electoral College, it is very important WHERE you vote. If I live in New York, I can't vote in Pennsylvania. I get lumped together with everyone in New York.
So my registration ties me to a "permanent address" that aligns with a state, their electoral college contribution, and the rules they've put in place to gather, validate, and verify the vote, all mixed with manipulation over the years to swing the vote wherever possible (see: gerrymandering)
