Nearly 14,000 mail ballots in Nevada have signature issues

Officials urge residents to use online tool to check if ballot was accepted

The total number of ballots — 13,906 — needing curing include 6,383 from registered nonpartisan or other voters, 4,026 from Democrats and 3,497 from Republicans.

The deadline for voters to cure their ballots is 5 p.m. Nov. 12, officials said. Ballots can be cured here.

The main issue they're having with young voters is that Nevada allows for voter registration through the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the "signatures" are digital (the licensee types it into a form), so their hand-written signatures on their ballots don't match the KEYSTROKES that serve as signatures on their license.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so fucking infuriating.

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

@bastardstandard cont;;

What they were was undefined, for he didn't know what to call them. Love is an emotion that he did not understand, any emotion aside from RAGE was hard to understand. It made little sense, and yet he craved to have Frank around. They were never gentle with one another, it's mostly teeth, biting, and mostly bloody. it's the only thing he knows with Frank. Despite this, when the man walks in and complains about his mask? There is a snort of sorts, quiet and near nonexistent but enough if the man paid attention. By now they could read each other, at least he could read Frank.

He was sitting on the couch when the man unceremoniously plopped down and kicked his feet up onto the coffee table. He does have blood, he also has burns and a hole in the cheek but that does not stop him from wearing it. The smudging effort to remove it pries only dry flecks off, the stain forever in the burnt plastic now. He expects the man to give up but when he goes to yank his mask off? There is a head jerk in defiance. It eventually does come off, but his hands are gripping TIGHTLY onto Frank's body by the time it comes off. His eyes are filled with a rage, lips curled to a snarl before...

A kiss.

His rage simmers to confusion at the softness, brows lowering and his posture relaxing after a moment before he turns and kisses the man's lips properly. He could easily kill him, but despite the line crossing... Which happens more often than he'd like, he won't. Not right now anyway. He doesn't know what it is between them, but he's not keen on LOSING it.

I appreciate this so much, you have no idea. Thank you bbyyyyyy. You are such an amazing friend and I appreciate talking with you each and every day and spinning stories with you on discord. <3 <3 <3 And here! lol if I was ever active on here

[ask-the-boogeyman]

Discord has blocked me?

I was just messaging in the server and I got this:

What do I even do now. How do I talk with anyone now.

What am I going to do...

[ask-the-boogeyman]

When the other follows, he takes it as a way of confirmation that the creature understands his intentions. Good, he does not have the patience for much communication, so this is beneficial for both of them. When he enters the house, it's swift and a straight line down the hall. When he reaches the dining room, he moves past it and into the kitchen, and before long?

Michael is digging in the fridge and pulling out random bits and bobs of meal items. Sandwiches, cakes, cookies, and everything he's been given really.

Part of him is treating this odd creature like a pet now, like a stray cat that he has decided to keep around. The food is soon enough placed on the dining room table and he merely waits.

He waits for the other to approach and to eat. He himself isn't going to eat, but at the very least? He's found a creature that reminds him of a cat, and that is a positive in his mind.

Jake watched him walk away, tilting his head in confusion at the odd reaction. It wasn’t until he looked back for a moment and gestured with his head that Jake realized what he was doing. He was being invited to follow.

Maybe he should have been wary at the offer, but his instincts weren’t alert to danger just yet. There was no hostility or ill intent he could sense in the killer. Just… something. Mutual acknowledgment maybe. Or something else neutral.

He put the box back down on the kitchen counter before following the Shape, skittering after him like an eager cat. He only hesitated outside the door for a few moments before going inside. It didn’t seem trapped or otherwise uninviting, and he was confident in his ability to make a quick escape should the need arise.

Once inside he crouched near the door, curling his tail around himself as he watched the Shape move about the house.

[ask-the-boogeyman]

He does not know why the other is hesitating so much if his body language, while rigid, is not aggressive? Should that not be a sign that he is trying to do something 'kind'? Breathing out a grunt, he merely steps closer and drops the lighter in the other's hand as he stands there. It does no good to be that hesitant, he has patience, but not patience when it comes to something he's already doing. It slows things down, and he has already had enough of that.

With the lighter now given to him, he merely offers a tilt of the head and waits for the man's reaction. He wants him to test the lighter, to see if it works, and he is happy with the result. Their odd behavior with one another is one of the reasons Michael has not gutted him. From being overpowered once before, to how Carlos genuinely tries to get through to him as a person?

Well, it's the small things that make it all worth it.

The lighter clicks closed. Carlos began to watch Michael with more focus than previously afforded. He couldn't possibly know why Michael did anything that he did, like suddenly leaving. He did start getting better about avoiding some of the guy's triggers. It wouldn't do Carlos any favors to go around provoking getting himself stabbed if he could avoid it, after all. Dying might be temporary, but it was still unspeakably unpleasant.

Surprise pinches his shoulders back, big blinks lit up in the flame that Michael's functioning zippo creates. "What?" Carlos shifts on the cement traffic median that he'd been sitting on, lifting his quizzical expression up to look into the shadowed eyes of Michael's mask.

"That for me?" Uncertain and curious, yet there is an air of confidence lightening his voice. He stands, squeezing his fist around the dead lighter, cautiously reaching for the one Michael's got with his free hand. He tips his head as if to ask for confirmation. As if the frozen face would suddenly just be capable of emoting to give him a sign. Scratch that, that sounds way scarier. Entity, don't you fucking dig that out of my head somehow.

"Easy does it, big guy—"

Has Mike ever willingly bottomed and enjoyed it?If not, would he?

NSFT;;

It would take a lot of trust, and the most he has done bottom-wise is a blowjob. Which needless to say, rattled him up a lot. If a character manages to get him relaxed enough, trusting them enough? He could bottom, but it would take a lot.

[ask-the-boogeyman]

CBT, yes or no. I need to know if Mikey would go into mickeys dick smasher and enjoy it.

NSFT;

Nope. The most he would be into, is orgasm denial when it comes to that sort of thing.

[ask-the-boogeyman]

Has a survivor ever offered sex in return for the hatch?

NSFT;

He certainly has been offered and he has swiftly denied them. No one has been bold enough and the closest to an experience that has left him flustered is when @ubcs managed to pin him. (Not sexually, but it was funny how flustered and upset Michael got.)

So if you're bold enough to try and manpower and pin him, you might get lucky for hatch.

[ask-the-boogeyman]

Ooo, here's a follow-up question : how much pleasure do you get out of stabbing if they like it too?

NSFT;

That would be a 100/10 on the scale of pleasure. If it's an intimate moment and they are partnered together? He absolutely would enjoy the situation all the more. Now if this was a stranger, a survivor even, he would be very confused.

He may indulge it if he is in the mood for it. That will be one hell of an experience with that person. (Verse dependent.)
