NYT is doing an interesting thing where they're conducting polls and compiling the data in real-time here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/upshot/elections-polls.html

It's a really fascinating look into how the polling sausage is made and some of the problems that show up with traditional, gold-standard phone polling.

How does anyone take polling seriously in this day and age

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

In our reality, the world is brought to its knees by a plague the US failed to contain on account of broken government, and Madagascar ends up being the sole country left to accept survivors for treatment

I'm not even 5 minutes in, but holy poo poo, Elon is awkward as hell. I mean, for any other person, I'd assume it's them being nervous, but this dude?

It's an insane person hungry for crazy talking to an incredibly nervous insane person that may or may not be autistic and/or high

/edit: He doesn't even smoke weed, he takes a fake-hit off Rogan's blunt like I would do when I was 14 and trying to drag on a cigarette to make the older kids think I was cool without inhaling

Like, Mark Zuckerberg could probably fake a hit from a blunt more convincingly

Impossible. Haven’t you heard she’s Mexican American and had Jewish relatives? That means it’s impossible to have nationalist feelings or be a lovely person!

Someone who's super racist, loves attention from the alt-right internet crowd, or both.

The logic of the "trolling" from the alt-right people is pretty tortured.

:chud: "Hey, what if we, a bunch of known racists, pretended to be racist by doing this hand symbol?"
:godwin: "Haha, that would trick people into thinking we were doing a racist hand symbol when really we're racists doing a normal hand signal!"
:chud: "lol, here we all are doing this hand symbol. And they're saying it's racist. Idiots, we got them!"

I think people are over complicating it. White supremacists started making a sign to identify themselves and thus that sign now identifies white supremacists.
