The beauty of this is you're probably not exempt. I doubt they're doing geolocation blocking or anything. I think Trump actually thinks this makes him look more serious :/

If you are doubted with geolocation, try to submit in a country other than US.

If anyone ever doubted he just tells people what they want to hear, this is pretty good evidence.

@Geobits Clearly you missed what the one penguin said about the other's mother as it was walking by. The push was clearly justified.

@Geobits The "penguin" that made the comment about the other's mother wasn't actually a penguin. It was a sheep in disguise.

Wait a second, does downvoting an answer count towards your rep-cap?

Geobits

@DJMcMayhem Yes, if you downvote before capping. If you've downvoted and gain 200 rep, you can still get one more. If you cap and then downvote, IIRC you cannot.

Of course, this is all hearsay. If you want proof, create a voting ring with a bunch of socks and cap me for the day. Just do it carefully so it doesn't get reverted ;)

DJMcMayhem

Cannot what? I capped, then downvoted, then received +1 on an upvote.

That doesn't seem right

Geobits

Oh. Well then you got your answer.

Why? You're still only gaining 200 rep for the day.

DJMcMayhem

Idk, it seems like it should be 199

What if that answer later gets deleted? Would I be +201?

Geobits

1:46 PM

You could find out by undownvoting something I guess.

FWIW, your public profile should show 201 anyway, since downvote-minuses aren't shown there at all (to others).

DJMcMayhem

You of all people should understand why I can't do that. :P

It deserved it

Geobits

Oh, I didn't say keep it undownvoted :P

DJMcMayhem

Haha, I once downvoted something because I was at 11,112, and I wanted a picture of 11,111, but then it wouldn't update and got locked in, hahaha

That's the worst possible reason to vote

I edited it so I could unvote though

Geobits

Haha, well tbf it's pretty easy to find something that actually deserves a downvote next time you're in that situation.

DJMcMayhem

Hopefully I'm never at 11,112 again. >_<

@Geobits Alright, I'm stumped

Assuming single digits for the string thing though.

@Geobits it would, but it has to be 2-byte int

I think it's interesting how you can pretty accurately guess what language everybody is using, based off of knowing them and syntax.
