I somehow misread the title as "The Spider That Isn't There" and was prepared to read an SCP article about a spider that doesn't exist but still bites you.
When I read that article, my assumption was that people rated all the presidents whose name they recognized and then they just filled in the rest. Your point is valid and I agree with the idea but it requires that people know the policies and impact of each president.
I genuinely cannot be sure if this comment is sarcastic:
ZAMN After 4 years the valentines gurl with heart eyes are bacc but now with a aesthetic hair and a totally normal and doing totally normal actions like a ritual succing my soul as hecc with a straw lmao, I continue to appreciate how great you are creating this type of totally normal and fun roleplays with this characters with very relaxing and fun triggers like the soul suction with the straw that made me melt how ticklish and relaxing it is lol.Your content is and will be entertaining and relaxing. Habbi balumtimez dai ;] <3
When Georgia voters cast ballots in person, they use Dominion ballot marking devices, which then print a paper ballot with a QR code and text indicating the voter’s choices. Scanners read the QR code to tabulate ballots. But legislators say voters tell them they distrust the codes because they can’t be sure they’ll match their choices.
That's not a bad idea all by itself. As someone points out in the article, though, there isn't enough time to get all the new scanners in place before the next election so the timing will create some chaos. I suspect that, even if the chaos is not one of the main goals, it is at least a bonus.

Adolphe Quetelet, a Belgian astronomer, mathematician, statistician, and sociologist, devised the basis of the BMI between 1830 and 1850 as he developed what he called "social physics".[3] Quetelet himself never intended for the index, then called the Quetelet Index, to be used as a means of medical assessment.
Keys explicitly judged BMI as appropriate for population studies and inappropriate for individual evaluation. Nevertheless, due to its simplicity, it has come to be widely used for preliminary diagnoses.
The original data set is from mostly adult European men that was then generalized as applying to all humans. Spoiler alert: It does not.
I believe they are pointing out that, despite the fact that this is being done by a group that is trying to make Trump look bad, it will be viewed as making him look good to those on the far right. They like dictators so long as they're part of the in-group.
It's impossible to do something perfectly and we may even make it worse so we shouldn't try.
Sure, it's impossible to preserve a piece of art in such a way that those who experience it later also experience all of the context around that art. However, if the preservation process begins soon after the art is created, it is possible to document the relevant context and - to some extent - the artist's intended meaning. Those who experience it later can learn if they want. There's a chance art can go wrong (The creator of Pepe the Frog hates it's use by the alt-right.) but all actions carry risk. We have to decide when the risk outweighs the benefits. I'm not sure how to strike that balance but I would presume it's not always or never. It's a sometimes kind of thing, which is why it requires care and attention by the original preservers.
I saw your comment that you are not arguing in good faith here, this is just a debate you picked. That's fine.

I retract my uninformed comment. Thank you.

This is what a winner does. This is how you can tell Russia is winning.
You can thank Norman Vincent Peale for that.
