  1. I equally hate reporting votes like it’s a foot race. It’s not. It’s more like you have a bunch of boxes in a closed warehouse and you’re sorting them by color. The result is already determined once the polls close, we just don’t know it yet. No one can catch up or fall behind.
  2. One thing I hate is how election forecasting language confuses what probability and predictions and statistics mean. In fact, the Silver model shows a really, really close vote. It’s measuring how much faith we have in the poll aggregates and other models. But people’s votes are not coin flips or distributed probabilistically. In fact, one candidate has a very, very, very high chance of winning— we just don’t have good enough data to know which one due to the close race. If we could somehow ask every “planning to vote” person and tabulate the results, we’d have a super high chance of getting the winner right.
  3. Tucker is still relatively young but his brain and views are aging at a spectacular rate. I’m kind of looking forward to follow the trajectory.
  4. He’s got it as a complete coin flip with plenty of “lead” changes.
  5. That photo is almost certainly real. And you’re sharing a claim that was first made by Jackson Hinkle. Great job with your bullshit detection skills! You’re doing so good! https://amp.dw.com/en/fact-check-ai-fakes-in-israels-war-against-hamas/a-67367744 The dude you are quoting is a full-blown groyper 9/11 conspiracy theorist and you saw his tweet confirmed your bias and you ran here to post it. Your brain is getting cooked with this stuff, did you even bother to look at “Chris Brunet’s” feed? Here he is arguing that WTC 7 was a controlled demolition: https://www.aporiamagazine.com/p/essay-entry-world-trade-center-building

  7. Leveling up my game with some tacos al pastor on the rotisserie. Life-changing to do this.
  8. I haven’t been to a Chili’s in years but at one point a hill I would die on is that the Old Timer burger is a truly great burger. Has that changed?
  9. I am pair bonded and in my 40s. Not to derail the thread, but dating apps have cooked the younger generations, it’s low-key Balkanized between the sexes. Lots of people finding out the hard way that women are very choosy about who they go on a date with and men who can get dates are very choosy about who they will marry. Recipe for heartbreak. Honestly the blind date and set-up is a much better way to do things; people who see you from the outside but want the best for you are going to be a better judge of who you might get along with and realistically match with than you are.
  10. How do I find these men and become an apprentice?
  11. Small dicked assholes everywhere who don’t feel like they’re men if they can’t control women.
  12. Yeah, there’s only one per cow that you can cut it the two lobes. One of my absolute favorites, and while not cheap they are still about a third less than ribeye and a quarter less than a strip. They go really well with the chimichurri. In Europe that’s what you get as a bistro steak with frites although I rarely have the energy to grill and do fries.
  13. I have a butcher I go to, but you need to get there on the early side or they run out.
  14. Hangar steaks and a chimichurri.
  15. You need 90 hours as an undergrad, and 45 completed at A&M. Pretty common to get there if you’ve done pre-college work and summer school and he was also an early enrollee so he’s had five full semesters.
  16. This. People aren’t used to autonomous vehicles being able to make decisions; we are used to staying out of the way of machines.
  17. Rod Dreher is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I’ve watched him over the years go from a slightly eccentric advocate for a more environmentally-friendly and tolerant conservatism to an absolute fucking lunatic. I became a true hater when he wrote a book that completely misinterprets something I know a lot about (totalitarianism in Central and Eastern Europe and the civil society response). Anyway, enjoy his substack entry where he reveals that demons curse people across generations, relates a story about possession via cursed crack cocaine from the ghetto, and speculates that UFOs are also demons preparing the way for the anti-Christ in cahoots with the U.S. government. Also “demons love electronics.” https://roddreher.substack.com/p/that-time-a-demon-mauled-tucker-carlson
  18. “This is true.”
  19. Tucker Carlson says he was attacked in his bed by a demon. He’s into total grift mode or has a mental illness.
  20. Ah-nold weighs in. https://x.com/schwarzenegger/status/1851627802027758005?s=46&t=sLnTqdt8bKng_n8HFlnwSg
  21. I really hope that Kamala wins and then Biden does an Oval Address on Thanksgiving to clarify that he does think Trump supporters are garbage and that he is thankful for everyone but them.
  22. See the DT Enshittening thread. Focused grouped to the lowest common denominator (18-25 men). You’ll always land on something “badass” but really just bland and dumb. At least Panthers are connected to Florida. Golden Knights is one of the least interesting and relevant school/mascot combos we have.
  23. Lol at people here lacking “cognitive ability.”
  24. The goal is not to win court cases or even the election. The goal is to inject enough disinformation, confusion, and lawfare into the system so that the House, state legislatures, and local officials can just appoint DJT president.
  25. I wouldn’t tell you to do otherwise and it is a good signal. Just pointing out that a class of people who are not impacted by the market in any meaningful way means that the market can’t do its job and that they will respond only to the threat of state power. This gives an edge to anyone willing to employ state power for authoritarian means (the GOP) with no democratic or market counterbalance.
