Care to elaborate? We're not all yankees out here

Google's using the population of the country of Georgia for that graph, not the US state, but it's showing Alabama's and Mississippi's population graphs as related anyway.

When I went looking for SA's privacy policy to run through that site, I thought this was a joke, but nope, it's SA's actual privacy policy.

On the first question, the percentage of people who agreed with the statement has also increased.

But the amount that agree only increased by 2 points while the amount that disagree increased by 8.

Well, the point is that it's not as much people changing their minds, as people coming to a conclusion. The biggest swing is on the third question with ~15% actually changing their mind on the issue, but also the question itself has changed since it contains 'past few years'.

In all 4 of the questions, though, the progressive opinion has gained more supporters than the non-progressive opinion.

1. +8 progressive, +2 regressive
2. +14 progressive, -7 regressive
3. +28 progressive, -15 regressive
4. +14 progressive, -5 regressive

Therefore, unless there's some hidden fuckery going on with strongly/somewhat agree statistics or the way the poll was conducted, I think the conclusion of the author, that white democrats have became more liberal on race issues over those years, is accurate.

Mcmuffin's strategy in 2016 was to try to spoil Trump's majority into a plurality, then get picked by the legislators as a less-awful choice.

I'm pretty sure McMullin was actually trying to throw the election to Hillary, figuring it was better for the Republican party in the long term.

I wonder what else could have happened between 2006-2008 that would have caused a precipitous drop in border crossings.

I guess we'll never know, the only thing that changed between those years was the wall, surely.

That's a dailykos web poll and it's from today so I wouldn't call it a scientific poll or particularly representative of the Democratic party as a whole.

Also it's changed a lot since when that screenshot was taken.

The colour makes this bad enough on its own but what makes it truly special is the apparent category of things which are neither "at an intersection" or "not at an intersection". I'm just trying to work out some logical construction where that could be a thing and can't come up with anything.

And they don't add up to 100%!

This might be the crappiest pie chart ever made.

I'm also gonna show my ignorance and ask if a parsex is a real measure of time/distance/space time. I'm just too lazy to google it and would like a comedy answer.

E: Lol, not gonna edit that one out

Yes, according to the well-known space documentary Star Wars, a parsec is a unit of time.

Never read that series. I thought they built their superlaser themselves though.

Read a lot of the EU though and there are parts of it that I completely understand Disney wanting to throw into trash, then light on fire, then throw the ashes out to sea.

I think Disney's main motivation in throwing out the EU was to make it so they weren't beholden to the massive mess of continuity found in the EU. Most of the major characters of the original and prequel trilogies had had their lives outlined exhaustively by various EU works, so there was little room to write new stories featuring them, and having any kind of wiggle room with regard to wars or major political developments would have required going like 100 years before or 50 years after the events of the movies.

Because South Carolina, for reasons that elude me, is a popular vacation destination for Ohioans. And everyone hates tourists.
