JimmyMcGill , to World News in Rishi Sunak has announced he will step down as the leader of the Conservatives after a historic battering by Labour in the General Election

Thanks!! And shit has it really been a year yet? My app still says 11 months but maybe a few hours are left

Simple as.

JimmyMcGill , to Ask Lemmy in Is anyone else highly concerned with the SCOTUS ruling that the POTUS is immune from criminal liability?

Not to defend the democrats too much but even if they do it, the SCOTUS is heavily biased against them which means that they would get heavily punished.

Also at the least the liberal wing of the SCOTUS voted against this, unlike the republican appointed judges.

So there’s clearly one side pushing for this and one trying to prevent it.

JimmyMcGill , to politics in New Fox Poll Has Biden Leading Trump: ‘His Best Result This Election Cycle’

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.

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

JimmyMcGill , to The memes of the climate in Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?

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

JimmyMcGill , to Political Memes in EU elections results -- Rip

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

JimmyMcGill , to World News in No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections

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 , to World News in No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections

Sure

Let’s do that

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

JimmyMcGill , to World News in No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections

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 , to World News in No right wing wave in Finland as Left Alliance take record result in EU elections

Let me guess, Portugal and Livre?

JimmyMcGill , (edited ) to Science Memes in Mammals

Boob out lmao

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

JimmyMcGill , to Science Memes in Endangered Species

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 , to Ask Lemmy in Is it a sweatshirt or a jacket?

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

It’s a zip up hoodie
