Yes

People here and on Reddit really think that polls are made with just a few calls and then some average/extrapolation and that’s it.

Meanwhile it’s an entire field with a lot of complex math and people with more knowledge about it than everyone in this comment section combined.

And then the classic “polls are shit, they always get it wrong”. By definition polls are correct because they just represent an objective data set. Then they translate it into a phrase that we humans can (somewhat) understand but people then take it wrongly.

They read “Poll X says candidate Y will win” when instead they should read “According to the data obtained for Poll X, candidate Y has a Z% chance of winning with a confidence level of W%”. And that isn’t wrong unless someone wants to find the mistake in the math.

The world will be fine

It will take a long time in our timespan, and we won’t be fine, but the world will. Just a minor blip in the history of this marble

Fuck man, some day Elon is gonna come out and say that people should drink more water or something and I’m going to really struggle.

I mean it’s extremely unlikely because that would be a simple thing we would be doing without anything in it for him, so it basically won’t happen

No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections ( yle.fi )

Finland's results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party....

Let me guess, Portugal and Livre?

Sauna Perkele.

Also did Erasmus there, but I’m not a fan of salmiakki so I hope that my swearing will compensate for that.

JimmyMcGill ,

I’ll read your comment in more detail later but who were you talking about then?

JimmyMcGill ,

Sure

Let’s do that

JimmyMcGill ,

I’m not sure I agree

For one Bloco’s majority of votes comes from exactly the opposite of what you say they are. I.e. lower class and less educated people.

I don’t think they have the image of being “betinhos”, quite the opposite. Majority of Betos vote IL, Agrobetos somehow vote chega, and betos who lean left and actually care about social issues now vote Livre. Some of them also voted PAN but fortunately less and less.

The view I have of Bloco is that they are more on the woke warrior side and a bit too much sometimes. The whole, I am more knowledgeable than you is very present in IL and in a way also in Rui Tavares.

Catarina Martins is one of the more empathetic politicians we have in Portugal atm. The Mortagua sisters may have a well off background but they have proven their work countless times and many times outside of Bloco.
Marisa Matias and José Gusmão are both almost 50 and no where close to your description of “elite”.

But I guess your opinion is just as valid. For what it’s worth I actually joined them very recently but so far haven’t seen much of anything (apart from disorganization).

JimmyMcGill ,

Why are you still a member? It seems like you aren’t having a good time.

The murderer is the one doing the burying. This is so that other people don’t accidentally uncover the body.

Or at least that’s what my friend Steve tells me. I have no clue.

JimmyMcGill , (edited )

Boob out lmao

Edit. That’s what boobs currently do. They just boob out one thing tho

JimmyMcGill ,

You wrote all of that and left out the one in the picture

It’s a zip up hoodie

JimmyMcGill ,

Why isn’t there a sustainable economic output? Are you then suggesting that there’s nothing we can do and that we will keep increasing stock prices until the entire ecosystem collapses and we go extinct?

It’s ludicrous to say that we can’t live in a way that is sustainable. We did it for millennia after all. So either we can’t keep growing forever and at some point it will have to stop, or we need less people, or we need to be more efficient with resources or a combination of the above (though the first one is always true).

And funny that you mention that when resources become scarce (and they already are) that we would need to restrict from people that need it because that’s what a “cOmUnISt” society would do. How about we prevent people from hoarding more resources than they could possible use in multiple lifetimes? Because those people are not hypothetical, they exist in the current system and we should definitely do that. If not just for the planet, also because it’s what is fair.

JimmyMcGill ,

First of all I’m not the same guy that you first commented to.

Second of all I’d like you to read your own comment as it very much applies to you.

Lastly you base your questions in a premise that I argue is wrong. So I’m questioning that.

If you say 2 + 2 = 5, so how much is 5 + 5? Then there’s no point in me answering that because the foundation of your argument can be disputed. If you want to defend your position or not, that is up to you however.

Maybe the monkey wouldn’t exist in the first place if you didn’t drink coffee so often..

JimmyMcGill ,

And then far right media would parrot for weeks that Biden actually wants to kill Trump. If they did what they did for a “stolen election” imagine what they would do if they had “reason” to suspect that Trump could be assassinated at Bidens wish

Seinfeld slams woke student audiences: “Back when I dated high school girls, they found me hilarious!” ( www.thebeaverton.com )

HOLLYWOOD – With his Netflix comedy film Unfrosted debuting to abysmal reviews, 70-year-old comedian Jerry Seinfeld blames the failure on “extreme left, and PC college campus audiences”, unlike in his heyday, when the teenage girls he dated were fans of his comedy.

JimmyMcGill ,

I need to check that out.

Maybe it’s on YouTube or something?

JimmyMcGill ,

Other than the fact that it’s an octopus that managed to survive and thrive in outer space, yes.

JimmyMcGill ,

Just look at most developed countries in Europe and you will find government operated services that are much better than what the free market came up with the in the US. Namely health services and transportation for instance. Postal services as well.

I just did a week long trip in the USA and all the National Parks were a joy to visit. I actually thought about and commented that it would be a totally different experience, read worse, if those things were privatized.

Honestly the whole argument that private entities are run better is bullshit. There’s nothing stopping any government from hiring the same managers and you just eliminated a certain % that would be the middle men. And now the main objective isn’t profit at all costs, so it will very easily be a better service for us, the consumers.

JimmyMcGill ,

Historically incumbent presidents always have the upper hand.

Disinformation is the word

JimmyMcGill ,

I read your comment, then I read the article. Well said

Trump furious as he fails to knock out Haley before South Carolina ( news.yahoo.com )

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Donald Trump didn't just want to win in New Hampshire, he wanted to beat Nikki Haley so badly that his sole rival for the Republican presidential nomination would drop out before the next competitive contest in South Carolina a month away....

JimmyMcGill ,

They 100% wouldn’t

Idk in what world is that guy living in. Time and time again have they proven that. It’s a cult.

JimmyMcGill ,

I feel like in some big game communities (like BG3) it looks deader than it should but if you post something you actually get quite a few replies. People are there it’s just that not everyone feels like making a new post.

Though I agree that concentrating on more generic communities for now is a good solution
