The whole thing is so dumb. If both politicians are genocidal how can either promise a specific death toll. Does the 11 million dude say “Hey, when we kill 11 million of the filthy subhumans we’ll just sort of, you know, stop.”
Also, how can there be voting in Nazi Germany, a society based on the supreme rule of Hitler?
It doesn’t make any sense and it’s kind of offensive.
Yep, same here. I used to use my middle name instead- no one got that wrong.
If I had to go vegetarian- fine- I love cheese. If I had to go vegan- kill me now. 
Besides, I am already too much of an asshole at times, I dont want to be a full time asshole.
Yes, that poll is rather offensive. To me, it is like the Kremlin propaganda they are pushing now- “why bother to vote, both sides are the same anyway!”
I don’t really care about the genie polls; at least, if they’re just positing general nonsense, as they usually are. I don’t have to vote in them, and often don’t. And I very much doubt I’d need to be free of them for even 100 years, as I’m already over 70.
But if a genie extended your lifespan…
As much as I will miss cheese, I had to keep meat because I seem to get sick when I don’t eat at least a little.
I cook a lot of vegan meals, but a little meat a couple times a week keeps me strong.
Excellent call out on Mystery Men. I picked bowling, because being an overweight middle aged man and pro bowler are unsurprising and probably an easy way to make money. 
How about the ability to sound profound and wise, while actually saying nothing useful?
My first name used to be incredibly common - for about 30 years, ending about five years after I was born (I remember when I was younger wondering whether people who named their daughter “Agnes” or “Doris” knew they’d become almost exclusively old-lady names, and now I know they didn’t). Probably for this reason, people very often change it to a more popular name that sounds similar. My last name sometimes gets an extra consonant added by people who think it sounds German.
I’m already a vegetarian, but it would cause me a lot of grief to cut out either eggs or dairy. Going with my first impulse, I voted for eggs, but I’d somehow forgotten that cheese is dairy, so I’ll need to go back and change that.
As for the genies, I’ll keep voting as long as they keep offering. It’s a compulsion. And that leads me to voting for the non-genocidal third party, because I can’t not vote.
What’s the benefit of invisibility if no one is looking? I’m not sure what that means. So if I’m in my own backyard and no neighbors are looking in my direction, I become invisible, but if they turn their eyes my way then I’m visible? Then that’s as good as not having any such power.
It’s from a movie.
Shoveler: You’re the master of cutlery. You couldn’t throw a knife sometimes when someone’s trying to kill me?
Blue Raja: No, I can’t! You couldn’t, ah, use a rake sometimes?
Shoveler: No. I’m the Shoveler.
Blue Raja: Well, I’m the Blue Raja. I’m not Stab Man, I’m not Knifey Boy — I’m the Blue Raja.
I love that movie.
I read a fan theory that the Sphinx’s power was that he could do whatever people believed he could do. So when the rest of the characters approached him to be their trainer, he developed training abilities. And he trained them to believe in themselves because that’s what worked for him.
He was “terribly mysterious” because his powers kept changing to whatever people expected them to be.
Just be careful not to fall down an elevator shaft… onto some bullets.
Yeah, I first voted for invisibility, then I re-read the phrasing and came to the same what’s-the-point conclusion. So I changed to bowling.
And they can pry my cheese from my cold, dead hands.
mmm
Thankfully (?) I don’t have a daughter to possess and force to find and destroy my enemies after my “mysterious” death.
You may be visible to people if someone is looking, but you won’t be visible to motion sensors, etc. That’s how the movie played it - that person was able to get through an area with sensors because no one was watching him.
Which brings up a question. Let’s say that a camera is recording a room and you will be invisible because no one is there to see you. What if someone is monitoring the camera?
My first name is not extremely common, but not unusual at all, and it also contains a midword dipthong. For some reason, it gave kids fits. For years when I got valentines in elementary school, my name would very often be misspelled…often in unpredictable ways. My last name is common and extremely simple, but sometimes people drop the second of the two (identical) consonants at the end. Less commonly, they substitute another consonant for the first letter. People will misspell anything.
Me, either.
How else would she be able to go to grad school?
My first name is extremely common, but its origin is Hebrew; it has a combination of vowels which is uncommon in English, and I see people flip-flop the two vowels fairly often.
My last name is very uncommon, and it looks like it could be a French name (it ends in an “e”), but it’s actually German-Swiss. Due to this, it’s very common for people who don’t know me well to mispronounce it by leaving the final “e” silent, whereas the correct pronunciation is not silent.
