"average of last 3 projections for York Outer by flavible.com" okay let's have a look. https://flavible.co.uk/methodology So right off the bat they're assuming that 20% of gains made by the BXP are siphoned from 2017 Labour voters. And then we have the steaming turd that is Brexit Weight. Now I could ask if flavible.com is flavible.co.uk but it redirects. Ratjaculation posted:I've said it before and I'll say it again polls are total poo poo, utterly meaningless E: and if you put the most recent opinium poll's weighting through this bullshit methodology, the only poll on the flavible database to happen since the 31st, it shows York Outer being a conservative landslide with Labour and the Lib Dems close to each other in 2nd.

https://twitter.com/ThatTimWalker/status/1190569014088601600 Think this is the most FBPE tweet ever done. A bank, famous for money laundering for the Mexican Drug cartels and a bunch of other dodgy poo poo, makes a poo poo advert with a midrange comedian and it's all forgiven. Worthless people, worthless movement.

If you find yourself talking about politics you're doing it wrong, IMO. e: Don't forget there's an entire gigantic machine - from their bosses to the national media and a big chunk of politicians - who desperately *want* people to not see their personal problems as having political solutions. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Nov 3, 2019 |

Just depressing, people start from an assumption and then backfill it with fact shaped phrases to support the assumption, and there's no good basis on which to change any part of that.

ronya posted:The choice of coca approach is irrelevant - even in the maximally Plan Dignidad period, Bolivian coca agriculture was never a significant component of agriculture. We are not talking sixty percent, thirty percent. The correct order of magnitude to hold in one's mind is less than 1%. That means there is no high value product coming out of it, and thus no need for money to be laundered. That sounds preferable to "stop deforestation by encouraging less environmentally destructive means of money laundering". It'd be interesting to see if that persists if Peru starts to pick it up. I highly doubt Colombia will ever do that, as their coca and culture around it is different.

Or just buy the spare keys off the website. Willing to bet that if there's a cold snap in March and the pipes freeze because nobody can turn on the heating they'll try to say it's the tenant's fault.

If you're getting discouraged try to think of it as a numbers game. The data says that we need to knock on 2 million doors during this campaign. Every door you knock on brings us closer to that number and even if it doesn't seem like it when you speak to people now by the time it gets to election day enough people will respond to it to get the win.

I used to be a hobbyist lockpicker. Someone locked me in a cage at a party in a private members club, not realising I had picks in my underwear. I broke free and then grabbed a wig and a dressing gown from a huge wardrobe they had. I walked straight past one of my captors and then went outside, where another was smoking. I asked her if I'd seen her before because getting caught is the fun part.

Buy a second hand radiator from a junk yard. Buy a tap to hose adaptor. Buy two short lengths of hose. Run hose from hot tap to radiator. Run 2nd hose from radiator outlet to sink. Run hot tap. Nice, lossy heating system. Presumably the guy isn't paying the bills.

Yeah I know, I asked our candidate about data entry help which she seemed enthusiastic about so hopefully I can do that at least, I have experience typing things into a box, after all. I'm gonna try and keep at the doorknocking but our lot apparently do it solo most of the time. Just upsetting seeing people who are clearly being shat on by the government tell you that actually they don't want to consider doing anything about it. It's just whole sections of people cutting their nose off to spite their face. I could probably change minds given time and a better setting but just a constant bombardment of strangers who are already a bit hostile because you're pestering them at home, but who you already empathise with because they're folk just like you... I dunno it's not good for my brain. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Nov 3, 2019 |

All the people suggesting lock picks or buying spare keys or dental floss shims or hacking the nest system are overthinking it. The landlord has, in their almighty wisdom, placed the thermostat in a sealed unit shut off from the atmosphere of the dwelling. So if you want the heaters on put an ice pack on top of the plastic box and the thermostat will think that the air is colder than it is and turn the heating on.

OwlFancier posted:We didn't really get much of a chance, the few people I got to speak to were ardently convinced that voting made no difference or that there was no difference between any of the parties. I always spend a lot more time on people who say they're not voting because ultimately they're the people we really need to convince and get engaged if we want to change the country rather than just putting a win in the results. I almost always open up with "We're going round trying to find out what the problems are around here" (or some variation of that) and going from there. Anyone in that mindset is very likely to feel ignored and powerless, and framing it as a personal, not a political, thing gives you an in. Just letting people sound off while you nod and make sympathetic noises can make a huge difference, along with some well-placed open-ended questions, e.g. "I've heard a lot of people complaining about kids hanging around at night" (which works just about everywhere, and just about everywhere people think it's a uniquely bad problem there) gets you into Tory cuts to local authorities, or some relevant local issues (which your board runner or local minders really should have briefed you on). Framing it as "what are the problems are around here" rather than "what are your problems" also stops them shutting down at what's quite a nosy question. Everyone loves a good whinge, you just have to get it out of them. Obviously you adjust it to your own personal style - I can probably get away with a lot because I'm a grumpy-looking white middle-aged man with a Cockney accent and so I've already got a connection to a lot of the people I'm talking to (and I can do a nice "posh" - read "has slightly less glottal stops") accent for the little old ladies, which always goes down well) but ultimately if you come across as sincere and willing to listen you'll be surprised just how easy it is to get them to at least *thinking* about voting.

I'd prefer to be doing something that can actually affect a marginal, but I'll sound out what the options are whilst I'm there. But as with everything, it's a compromise, given that I detest the amount of wasted paper that goes into this whole process. I'd be staggered if the proportion of campaign literature that's read is above 5%.

Gonzo McFee posted:Doesn't that mean they could be millionaires if they had just saved the bitcoin rather than getting poo poo pizza? Well yeah but loads of people got into bitcoin early, made a few hundred or thousand quid and cashed out. I know a couple, one goon online made like $20k from bitcoin early on, if she'd held onto them she'd have been worth like $100m or something ridiculous. But ask yourself the question, if you'd been given 100 bitcoins on day one, when would you have sold? I bet it would have been before they got to $20k each.

I miss buttcoin.org, it had stories on how people tried to use bitcoin and how cashing out was hard. Like meeting guys in Denny parking lots, only to have them try to talk you around to 'invest' your buttcoins in their billion dollar ideas.
