She shouldn't be president because she "has no balls to scratch" :lmao:

That loops back around to being hilarious jfc these people. Not because she has no balls, and therefore doesn't have the fortitude - no no no.... because she can't scratch them.

isn't all polling 'opt-in'?

or does this mean there are people who reach out to polling companies to give them their opinion? if so, lol.

Pretty sure they all grew up with some empathy once they formed bonds with actual people not behind a headset. The voting trends all support that.

Everyone else is already saying what needs to be said but lol at "posting the full video" and just cutting off mid sentence.

I hope they actually just cut off mid sentence, like the camera person just stopped filming, lowered their camera and they all just looked at each other and said "yeah that's enough of that" leaving the guy flustered realising that he made a fool of himself.

It seems like they should be including these kinds of gotcha questions in regular polling, and then throw out the respondents who fail the captcha.

I don’t mean to discount the impact of the outage today, but there are definitely some LOLs here.

I’ve said before in these threads that Zuckerberg deciding any political candidate could say what they wanted on FB as long as they paid for it, helped Trump a great deal in 2016 because of the huge amounts of boomers on there.

But the chud party line has been that he’s a censorious, evil dictator.

Now that it went down today, FB is good and necessary again and it’s Nicki Haley and the Deep State taking away one of the most powerful tools the right has.

It’s this splitbrain thing they do that’s the source of LOLs.

Yeah. I don't think it has anything to do with Super Tuesday. This is an infrastructure problem. Either someone pressed the wrong button or pulled the wrong plug as when Facebook accidentally locked themselves out of their own buildings, or it's intentional and someone is probing weak points... Which, this is America. We don't spend money on infrastructure, so lol.

Somewhere out there some chud is going to blame Obama because of "Leave the World Behind."

DownDetector is kinda interesting right now, just to see how many things were affected. Also looks like there was a spike for AT&T, Steam, UberEats, and Zoom a few hours before everything else 'sploded. (Which might just mean they're all on AT&T's infrastructure.)

And apparently Hulu's network just sucks, which is the least unusual thing on there.

That is a thing pollsters do. Not necessarily submarine commander questions, but stuff that's designed to weed out people picking randomly, trying to intentionally distort polling, or are habitual liars. Pew published that article and they've got a vested interest in saying "everyone else is doing polling wrong, so pay us for your polls", but they do make a good point that these polls aren't being sanity checked. I don't think that accounts for all the strange polling out there lately, though.

I will never get tired of American exceptionalism believing that everything that happens worldwide only affects them.

Facebook and Instagram go down worldwide but this is a deliberate attack on super Tuesday elections which makes no loving sense to me at all.

Beyond their network sucking I swear they don't QC anything. Like the copies of shows/movies they upload to their servers seem to be hosed up sometimes.
