When you create ridiculous "We'll give out $1 million to people who sign our petition" campaigns, fraudsters will follow right behind you & target your audience with similar scams. This network has been humming for months but they are scaling up comment spam w/ E-day messages.⤵️

I understand math and I basically agree with this. Bayesianism is misguided and the application of the mathematics of proportion (aka, "probability") to modeling the uncertainty around a sui generis event like the election is generally meaningless.
drove past a multimillion-dollar house on the water here in st. pete this week and they had a republicans for harris sign in the lawn and a fresh puerto rico flag covering part of the wall behind it
The voter backlash to the Puerto Rico "garbage" remark is looking real.
@danielmarans went to Pennsylvania and talked to a bunch of Puerto Ricans who are now either casting ballots for the first time for Harris or second-guessing Trump votes.

gf turns to me while i’m driving and goes “they’re making a top gun 2” and i’m like “you mean top gun 3?” and then we basically had the bodybuilding forums argument about days of the week where it turned out that she regarded the first top gun as “top gun 0”

Watching a Diners Drive Ins and Dives from 2008 and it’s a completely different world. A bacon cheeseburger was braggadociosly only $4.75. I looked up the website and that burger is $17 today.
The Flavortown you were raised to live in no longer exists.
