Good news everybody, Democracy is *saved* forever!

Vermont, pretty rural, started shifting towards Democrats after Bernie Sanders won the "safe GOP" house, and people liked him and he caucuses with Dems which helped push the state over. Bernie's never been far left, but working class.

Would every single man live? No, and I do think it's hubris if you think that. But 100? Team Man is going to win with some casualties.

While I don't agree with this take, I still have a hot take, there is something to be said about how it's normalized for businesses to blast music but individuals are expected to be quiet.

For context, Chatham is where you love if you work in Springfield, the state capital of Illinois, but want your kids in a better public school district. I don't know many people down there, but my wife is making sure all her longtime friend's kids are safe as we speak.

Whenever zoomers wanted Biden to keep his major promises they kept getting told change is slow and it's unreasonable to expect anything rapid to happen, they need to live in reality. *Liberals* don't appreciate how rapid and successful the push for marriage equality was.

The contradiction of materialism with no budging is the placebo effect, we know believing in a fake cure naturally increases the chances of it working, scientific speaking doing all the normal stuff with some religion guiding you can materialistically help IF that's your thing

My God One of my co-workers, a fellow statistician I work with, his... His daughter was killed yesterday in this crash I don't even know what to say

Voters want change; the post hoc analysis of the 2024 election was the Republican's best ads played Harris saying "nothing would fundamentally change" if she won. Trump said "Things suck and I will help", Harris, and libs like constans, say "your life is great you are wrong"

Yeah, psychology people who know the stats side of research very well. LLM stuff is closer to what we do in research (which is often not considered real science) than actual AI work and trust me that we have examined our own consciousness.

What actually happened is the mansion was, on a practical level, uninhabitable, and he removed the toilets so legally it would be considered inhabitable. At worst this is as much of a scandal as "but her emails", a little off but *waves at the widespread corruption*

I mean, fair enough

My most immature take is when I was watching Lutnick on TV yesterday talking about this I was just thinking "hehe, if you flip the L and n then he becomes Secretary Nutlick"

Shut up about the parliamentarian stopping everything The sole reason we care about them is they said a minimum wage increase could not be part of the Build Back Better bill, which failed to pass regardless You are soooooo missing the forest for the trees obsessing about that

When I first heard about The Rizzler he was just some pop culture nonsense to me but the more I see him the more I respect the kid, you really do have that rizz

They're not NIMBY's, they're realistic. The moment somebody says *some* regulations on buildings are good you accuse them of being an NIMBY, the only people who react like that want to make the rich richer at the expense of the poor.
