What's your ambient humidity like? I'm up in CO and the ambient humidity for a lot of the year is less than 20% and haven't felt like I need a driver yet, except maybe for new PETG

One time, when I was in 6th grade, an 8th grade girl called me cute. I don't think I'll ever forget it

And it's so. Damn. Delicious.

Asking people with power to give up that power willingly almost never works, unfortunately.

I don't so much mean weird situations, but perhaps just the demographics get skewed. Now that I think about it, I perhaps have a dumber question:

What the hell are exit polls are how are they conducted? The name implies they're conducting with folks leaving the polls, but if they're voting at home then how are they polled? This could also just simply boil down to why do we trust polls so much anyways

I gotta say, I fucking hate doing dishes. I'm not sure what it is about it, but I just have this almost irrational dislike for washing dishes (especially pots+ pans). Sure, I'll do it when it needs to be done, but my God do I dread it. Is there something wrong with me? Oh absolutely, but there's plenty else to fix before the dishes issue lol

 

With the post election analysis going on right now, there seems to be a ton of weight being put behind exit polling (so and so got x% of women voters, etc) to the point where they just are presented as fact. As early voting and mail-in voting increases around the country, aren't those exit polls getting more and more unreliable? I don't see that discussion happening anywhere and perhaps I have a misunderstanding of what an exit poll even is. I've never been polled in any way after voting myself and as I understand it polling is already not as reliable as they're presented. So should we put as much trust into these exit polls?

I believe that he does, and he knows shit will cost more, but he ALSO knows that his followers have no clue whatsoever. So prices will increase, and he'll blame it on one of their many "others". Keeping them scared and mad is the key to their control over them

Oh interesting, that's a lot more clear than what our mail in ballots looked like in my state.I guess fuck those people then

Well yeah, obviously, but the wording of a question is often manipulated to lead people to different results. That's all

[–] rdrunner@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (6 children)

I bet the wording on the ballot was different. Similar election results sites for my local ballot measures hasve greatly simplified the language the ballot had (which honestly is probably how ballot measures should be written)

Yup, you can't reason a person out of a position they didn't reason themselves into
