- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

An Engineer sees the glass twice the size it needs to be. Waste of material.

The glass is full. At standard sea-level pressure Earth, it is half-filled with a liquid and the other half filled with a gas.

Perhaps this glass is in a vacuum, but at a temperature where the fluid won't boil away.

Then it would be half full of liquid and half full of vacuum... presumably with the occasional spherical cow if I remember my old physics classes correctly. They come with the territory - just appearing with rhyme or reason.

The glass is half-full, because someone has emptied the other half.

As needing to be washed. And I should have done it a few days ago.

...is "looking back at me"
Where all other options imply more information than the headline statement contains.
Further, use of the word "tend", leads to inference that the action of "seeing" the glass only has a likelihood of occurring, maybe greater than 0.5, who knows for sure, maybe not exactly 0.0 or 1.0 probability either, at least less likely those extremes in the "tend to" domain.
Only other supposition is the glass may not be there at all, at least as much chance of supposing knowledge of it's contents.

If the last action a was to add water, then the glass is half full.
If the last action was to subtract water, then the glass is half empty.

the glass is a galaxy of bits in some sort of computational substrate
that simulates every possible timeline
so all levels of liquid from full to empty exist in same volume of space
everywhere where the glass exists
i perceive only the timeline i'm at, a parallel me perceives a different one
since every level of liquid in the glass technically exists somewhere
it is somewhat pointless to think of my experience of the fluid level in the glass
as having any relevance to what is going on
