      There are a category of things that are technically impossible until a burly man threatens to break your arm if you don't do them, and a category of things that are still impossible.

      Doesn't help your arm, but when they're asking for things in that second category, it doesn't help them either.

         But until you've broken their arm, you can't know which category you're in.

            Wait, we're the burly man?

               weird when people make that swap without noticing it, huh?

               I've always aspired to be burly. This is great news.

         I remember talking about voting fraud with an indian friend. He said it was more overt in india - a burly guy would grab your finger and make it press the "correct" voting machine button.

            That&#x27;s happened in the US too: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cooping" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cooping
