Yes

People here and on Reddit really think that polls are made with just a few calls and then some average/extrapolation and that’s it.

Meanwhile it’s an entire field with a lot of complex math and people with more knowledge about it than everyone in this comment section combined.

And then the classic “polls are shit, they always get it wrong”. By definition polls are correct because they just represent an objective data set. Then they translate it into a phrase that we humans can (somewhat) understand but people then take it wrongly.

They read “Poll X says candidate Y will win” when instead they should read “According to the data obtained for Poll X, candidate Y has a Z% chance of winning with a confidence level of W%”. And that isn’t wrong unless someone wants to find the mistake in the math.

Quick 100$?

This one is still quite long

I wished he made his videos closer to the 20min mark

I’ll probably still watch it, but at almost 30mins it might take me some days to start it.

And the reheat button on microwave

I’m still mad that I have a shitty microwave now

Why are you still a member? It seems like you aren’t having a good time.

The world will be fine

It will take a long time in our timespan, and we won’t be fine, but the world will. Just a minor blip in the history of this marble

Fuck man, some day Elon is gonna come out and say that people should drink more water or something and I’m going to really struggle.

I mean it’s extremely unlikely because that would be a simple thing we would be doing without anything in it for him, so it basically won’t happen

I’m not sure I agree

For one Bloco’s majority of votes comes from exactly the opposite of what you say they are. I.e. lower class and less educated people.

I don’t think they have the image of being “betinhos”, quite the opposite. Majority of Betos vote IL, Agrobetos somehow vote chega, and betos who lean left and actually care about social issues now vote Livre. Some of them also voted PAN but fortunately less and less.

The view I have of Bloco is that they are more on the woke warrior side and a bit too much sometimes. The whole, I am more knowledgeable than you is very present in IL and in a way also in Rui Tavares.

Catarina Martins is one of the more empathetic politicians we have in Portugal atm. The Mortagua sisters may have a well off background but they have proven their work countless times and many times outside of Bloco. Marisa Matias and José Gusmão are both almost 50 and no where close to your description of “elite”.

But I guess your opinion is just as valid. For what it’s worth I actually joined them very recently but so far haven’t seen much of anything (apart from disorganization).

Sure

Let’s do that

I’ll read your comment in more detail later but who were you talking about then?

Sauna Perkele.

Also did Erasmus there, but I’m not a fan of salmiakki so I hope that my swearing will compensate for that.

Let me guess, Portugal and Livre?

That’s exactly why I do it

The s option is very useful to split the chunks.

I basically always do a git add -p

Very useful command and it works with other git commands as well.

Everytime a colleague asks me for help with git that’s the one rule I suggest them to use.

Boob out lmao

Edit. That’s what boobs currently do. They just boob out one thing tho

The murderer is the one doing the burying. This is so that other people don’t accidentally uncover the body.

Or at least that’s what my friend Steve tells me. I have no clue.

It’s true that countries in Europe are more akin to states in the US but while there are difficulties scaling up there are also benefits. And in the end everything is divided anyway. It’s not just done in one centralized place.

The EU has done some meaningful things, though it’s mostly laws and not so much services. I’d argue that it had a much more difficult job also.

But there’s the private vs non private debate and the small vs big debate

Just look at most developed countries in Europe and you will find government operated services that are much better than what the free market came up with the in the US. Namely health services and transportation for instance. Postal services as well.

I just did a week long trip in the USA and all the National Parks were a joy to visit. I actually thought about and commented that it would be a totally different experience, read worse, if those things were privatized.

Honestly the whole argument that private entities are run better is bullshit. There’s nothing stopping any government from hiring the same managers and you just eliminated a certain % that would be the middle men. And now the main objective isn’t profit at all costs, so it will very easily be a better service for us, the consumers.

Thanks for admitting your inconsistency and bias

Right

Because Israeli settlers definitely aren’t terrorists here
