Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

i like how he's wasting time on kickstarter while the opportunity of a lifetime is just sailing right by

have an electoral map
have poll results

allow people to fit them together, e.g. show the electoral map based on THESE polls and THIS demographic shaping

there is no site currently offering this service

all that noise over #unskewedpolls? imagine that happening on statpedia

seriously, it's not hard to scrape political polling data from the web. combine that with the census, maybe some demographics from pew, then let people loose with an array of statistical tools.

kickstarter not even needed, he could have gotten funding from a superpac.

oh well.

"an array of statistical tools" is such overkill, goddamn slider bars for R/D/I and the % voting for each would be enough

people just want to confirm their narrative, anyone seriously making a go at it won't need a flash app

dude... I have not been saying anything because unixbeard said he would give me 10k if I shut up. That liar.

Hey JawnV6 can I pm you to get further information about how to implement this thing.

How do I get money from these superpac people you speak of?

Does one of you just have a bunch of bit coins I can have?

Seems like someone in these chat rooms probably controls that entire bitcoin economy.

Which person is the printing press managing inflation of these bitcoins?

Ian if you get a bunch of money what I suggest you do is spend 30% of it on frozen pizzas and the other 70% on weed and don't stop using it until you're all out

I think you will come back with some valuable new insights on life and will read back over your posts and be like "who the gently caress is this thin-skinned directionless bonerlord? drat"

I'm not using any of these funds on myself.
