Infinitum posted:Uh oh Granddads hit the sauce and not making sense again I was looking at the Mustang Eco boost a few months ago and now I constantly get facebook posts about EVs and I was taken aback by how many people just violently hate EVs. These people just think they're the worst, you're an idiot if you like them, they're ruining the country. Just ready to commit a hate crime because someone drives them. Completely unhinged and irrational behavior. Then I realized, oh wait, they've been listening to Trump.

Apparently right wing conspiracy theorists are saying Taylor Swift and the NFL are in collusion as part of a psy op to get Biden elected and that's why KC doesn't get flagged for pass interference.

Almost Smart posted:I could be wrong, but I don’t remember TS endorsing Biden so much as she took the mildest of stands against MAGA lunacy and all the horrible regressive poo poo that entailed. Well they're waiting for KC to win the super bowl before the CIA activates her pro-Biden chip for the endorsement. Kind of like Naked Gun.

Couldn't the liberal shadow cabal just get Taylor Swift to endorse Biden without concocting a relationship with Travis Kelce and rigging NFL games?

nine-gear crow posted:"Woke" has also lost its magic because people started asking them to define it and they all melt down in an incoherent ramble trying to answer it. So woke is out now too. Woke is just anything conservatives don't like at this point. I saw an article calling a tennis tournament woke because they had some kind of rules that the spectators couldn't talk during play or something.

I know I'm just one data point, but I think probably everyone I know would also just be like nah lol not clicking some link in an unsolicited text You'd be surprised how many people will just click a link to take a survey! Although, the rules now are you aren't supposed to send someone a text for that unless they specifically opted in to be sent a text! Most reputable vendors who these campaigns use to send these texts adhere to that. Well, ostensibly.

Achilles was a whiney bitch, Hector was a wuss, Paris was a coxcomb, basically no one is likable in the Illiad. Ajax was the most heroic. The gods didn't even pay him any favors. And he was trained by centaur. He would have lived too if Odysseus didn't run his loving mouth. Don't get me started on Odysseus!

Obsidianheart posted:The people who got hosed over by Trungus usually convince themselves the fault belonged to an aide or low-level staffer who will absolutely be getting fired for this gently caress-up. Trump can deflect blame any which he wants and they'll buy it. The moderate take is people are so distrustful of "establishment" politics they'll cling to whatever the "outsider" says but I think that's being too generous. I think they're just dumb as hell and they love what he says about bombing Mexico or draining swamps or whatever gets them riled and it's just easier mentally to accept everything else he says.

Zero VGS posted:That graph says it's anyone who says they've been domestically abused at any time in their lives. Like I'm sure I've earned a dope-slap upside the head. I don't know what the sites are using but yes if they are using the CDC NISVS then that's not meant for geographic estimates of prevalence. There's also a lot of different things that could be lumped into DV that are still bad of course but it's everything from unwanted text messages to rape. It would be nice to know what questions those sites are using because it's not just a survey about domestic violence. If they're just looking at lifetime prevalence of any incident that could also be anything from a spouse to an uber driver. I would assume they are at least reporting DV only when the offender is a significant other or family member, which would be the most likely case anyway.

Strong Sauce posted:very smart gavin i'm sure this won't come back to bite you when you run for president... This is so weird. How does this apply to like every restaurant that serves bread at the beginning of a meal? Does it not count because it's not a menu item? Does that mean all they have to do is add it to the menu and no longer give free bread? Does it apply to like, Olive Garden bread sticks? What impact might this have for the overall bread economy? Actually nevermind, I guess it doesn't apply because a restaraunt serving bread like that wouldn't be a fast food item. What about like, Dunkin Donuts, though? Do donuts count as bread? What is the legal definition of bread?

I'd like to see how people answer the follow-up question "Why do you think Biden is more dangerous than Trump?" I imagine most of the answers will go back to immigration "he's letting the invaders take over" or a bunch of mumping nonsense about "stopping woke." Then you'll have a smaller demographic of QAnon conspiracy theorists who think he's trying to steal our precious essence to power a drill that will unleash demons from hell something something don't buy electric vehicles.

The right-wing stories from dubious sources named things like "DAILY PATRIOT TELEGRAPH" or "MONEYFEED BLOG" probably get a ton of clicks. Just imagine how many older conservative Internet users just open up a tab and spend hours on scrolling through it rather than navigating to specific news sources. That would require using a search engine or actually typing in a URL which is way too advanced for these people

PainterofCrap posted:To anyone wondering why Joe Biden’s approval/disapproval numbers are where they are: Making it a news story every time an illegal immigrant commits a crime is a tried and tested strategy going back hundreds of years that will surely rile up your base. It's so easy. Out of nowhere the other day I actually saw a story that discussed how decades of research by criminologists has actually shown immigrants commit less crime and the majority of comments were "That data is bullshit!" You can't win with data.

Data Graham posted:I might still be blearily waking up but I feel like the thing about polls is just that they might capture the opinion breakdown of a population, but they don't tell you a drat thing about potential turnout. Polls are just one piece of the puzzle as other posters have alluded to, but they still rely on samples that take into account for nonresponse and that are supposed to be representative of the demographic of voters. Telephone surveys also don't just reach landlines either, any company doing a poll probably has access to cell phone frames. They also don't just look at raw data as another poster alluded to. Polls are necessarily imperfect. By necessity they have to be done quickly so they might not have a very large sample and they can't rely on more robust methods like address based sampling which would involve multiple mailings over time and multiple modes of response (e.g., a web and paper option). And the biggest issue of course with any survey is, do your questions and the response you get actually represent reality? But again, they have more robust data sources to compare to when they use polls to make predictions. So no, it's not just that simple, polls are necessarily flawed, but it's not like the people who study these things are unaware of that.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:loving :lol https://twitter.com/Julio_Rosas11/status/1770620293288980880?s=20 Rittenhouse can't even get into college lol his applications have been denied at ASU and Texas A&M and he still hasn't enrolled in community college. He also dropped out of high school to take online classes, probably because he was bullied. I'm guessing he was bullied because he was obsessed with being a cop throughout school and those two things usually go together. This is a guy who would be a complete loser in life if he wouldn't have murdered those brown people and got away with it. Now he is a hero of the right wing and that says all you need to know about gun nuts. They worship a complete bitchmade losing loser because he lived out their fantasy of "standing his ground" lol.

He's milking it hard right now and all he's been reduced to is some Nazi meet-up at a college and got effectively spit on by better people than him before he could give his talk. All it takes is some other pudgy white fascist to kill 3 people (if even that) and get away with it for that flash of Nazi star power to die out completely. I'm surprised he's even made it this long. We'll be hearing about him 10 years from now in some kind of "Remember this loving crybaby!?" and he's going to be some 300+ lb neckbeard in a photo someone took on their iPhone while he tries to hide his face because they recognized him and he's selling firewood on the side of the road. "It's Kyle loving Rittenhouse!. The spree-shooter dude who cried like a baby in court LOL!". he seems intensely stupid and un-charismatic so I can only imagine what one of this "talks" would be like

Rod Hoofhearted posted:Joe Rogan said there’s no way Biden is actually going to be the nominee. And when Joe Rogan talks, people listen! I remember before Trump was elected there was a clip of him starting an argument with some guy because he was wearing a MAGA hat and all the alt-right guys were calling him a liberal cuck. Now he's done a complete 180 and is totally on Trump's dick and hates Biden, but I guess what do you expect from a guy who watches a Fox special claiming the moon landing was fake and goes "balls deep" into the conspiracy or has a spaghetti dinner with Bob Lazar and decides everything he says is true.

Monica Bellucci posted:There is a clip that explains how loving dumb Rogan is. Remember that dipshit who claimed he got brain problems from a concrete milkshake to the head? His story was absolute blatant bullshit that was utterly in Rogan's wheelhouse of vaguely knowing about fighting injuries and how they are treated medically. Rogan still went along with it despite obviously knowing it was utter horseshit. There are numerous examples. He was all in on bigfoot and poo poo like the skinwalker ranch until he actually went on a quest to find bigfoots and visit the ranch and saw that it was all bullshit. Most of us don't have to go this far to spot bullshit, but most of us aren't that gullible. I'll stop there, though, because this is Trump thread, not the Joe Rogan thread.

The chemtrail conspiracy is particularly stubborn because something like cloud seeding does exist so if you just explain what a contrail is they'll see "well actually have you heard of cloud seeding my man it's a real thing look it up and learn to think" and then you'll get all the empirical evidence of "I saw a bunch of chemtrails in the sky and it rained later in the day. I believe what I see!" Airplane conspiracies in general are wild. Did you know jet fuel also is a conspiracy and doesn't exist?

Steadiman posted:How is the chemtrail ban supposed to work then? Do planes have to descend to lower altitudes when they fly over so they don't get contrails and freak people out on the ground or do they get a ticket or what? well probably no because contrails are just water vapor and although i don't spit about lawyerin, the ban doesn't ban actual contrails and i don't think you can go to court and claim that they're something else when they factually aren't
