As deserved. The pony handouts aren’t going to happen by themselves.

I looked it up on wikipedia and they were banned in Russia haha. Probably a good proxy for how good a news source is.

Yeah.

“They fucked up”. Means they did something really bad.

As far as I know while “fucking up” can be used in cases of accidents it generally implies culpability and that is the way in which I intended to use it.

Man I honestly kind of miss MBFC. I know it’s biased but for a source like “The Moscow Times” a quick glance would be perfect to tell me if this is russian propaganda or a legitimate news site.

Yeah. They did something terrible. I think we’re both on the same page here.

The kid fucked up.

They should be rehabilitated slowly and serve their time and then be reintegrated into society when they show they are ready to be and have served sufficient time.

They shouldn’t be thrown away for 70 years.

So does homelessness. And so does Prison.

In France we get an anonymous code and we can plug it into a website and it tells us if our ballot was counted or not, and if it wasn’t counted why. (markings on ballott, multiple candidates selected for one spot, etc.)

Given the age of our current president I don’t know if you’re joking.

But given this race is going to be extremely tight. There’s a real chance Harris will win and become a one-term president. Almost every reelection gets worse numbers for the incumbent than their original election for presidential races. With Bush being a notable exception because of 9/11.

So except for Spain and Italy, the few countries that have single member electoral districts which means you vote for candidates instead of party lists?

Well in my ideal system (a form of decentralised anarchy) there is no “top”.

The western countries don’t even have realistic statistics.

The estimates for deaths per million are vastly different than confirmed deaths per million. After 2021-22 we basically stopped testing.

I mean. Not all. In lots of parliamentary democracies people vote far more for the policies/party than the name.

We don’t even have a head of the executive in Switzerland like you do with your president in the US. It’s a 7 person council.

Or maybe a broken political and economic system is causing a gathering of wealth in the hands of the 1% which is a major factor behind both climate change and increasing authoritarianism

It’s made on purpose to have the awards button be where the upvote button used to be so your muscle memory makes you spend money.

Yes but these are definitely hypotheses. Fivethirtyeight has extensively covered it. In 2016 they covered it a lot, did a post-mortem on the election, and said the industry said they’ll fix it for next time, then in 2020 we got even worse polling errors.

I miss Nate from the fivethirtyeight days. It’s sad to see his model paywalled.

Random but if you’re a polling nerd this site is a godsend: https://swingstates.vercel.app/

its based on the 538 API, they also have a mastodon and bsky bot

This cycle a lot of polling has oversamples GOP. And they are using a new technique wherein they weight polls based on previous vote. Which is interesting I guess. Anyways, we’ll see what happens in a week.

Your instance has a good head start on me by blocking ML. A third of my blocklist is from said instance 😂.
