According to the TSA, it’s a jacket. Ask me how I know.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Not in my case, but if did involve a very minor disagreement with a TSA officer.

I very minor disagreement: I’m not stupid. But I was a white male US citizen, otherwise I wouldn’t have risked it.

Wait… single issue politics is a real, proven, thing. Don’t lump that in with ad hominem attacks. If you’re not going to vote for someone you otherwise would because of a single issue, you’re a single issue voter.

I thought that’s what I wrote, but if it didn’t come across right, I apologize.

Single issue voting means how you vote is determined by a single issue. That includes not voting at all because of a single issue. What I meant to say above is that if you would vote for X, but choose to not vote at all because of one issue, you’re a single issue voter. A single issue is deciding your vote.

As Rush once sang:

If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice

Uncertain implies there’s at least a guess. What is it?

1999? Did bell-bottoms have a come-back in 99? I remember a brief spurt, but the heyday of bell bottoms was in the 70’s.

@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Holy wow. They just took 70’s pants and turned the dial aaall the way up, didn’t they?

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Yeah, I do remember a flash around then. It seemed to come and go pretty quickly.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Believe me, the 70’s ones did too.

Yeah but… why does it have a mute icon? I want to hear this painting!

Having a hard time wrapping my head around why the “opposite side” is upside down. Wouldn’t you just wrap-around slide the map 180° if you wanted a straight-line-through-the-center opposite side overlay? For example, according to this, what’s on the opposite side of the Earth from Antarctica is also Antarctica. Additionally, for it to be accurate, would you not have to use a different projection, like Dyson or Butterfly?

Edited for clarification.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Oh. OK, right, there’s an Antarctica on the top asked the bottom, which means the no-land-mass North Pole overlays Antarctica.

OK, I see it now, thanks.

I still think this would be nicely done as a butterfly projection; I’m still uncertain about whether the distortion of the projection would affect overlap accuracy. OT1H, N/S are equally distorted, so maybe it all washes out? OTOH, I’m suspicious of Mercator projections. Do you know?

Has it corrected? He mentions in TFA that polling started to get really wrong as early voting for more popular, and wasn’t properly accounted for. I admit, I was one of the ones that lost faith in 538 because of the repeated dissonance. They knew something was off, but seemed unable to adjust their models to account for it. I still appreciate his analysis, but I’d love it if he’s addressed the issues in the modeling.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Oh, no! I wasn’t suggesting anyone change their terminology. I just thought the cognitive dissonance was funny. Confused the heck out of me for several seconds.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Oh. The more you know, I guess.

I think I’m on the wrong channel.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Although the reason is yet unknown

Nothing in the article seems to justify the title, but it’s one of this terribly-designed web sites with giant breaks in the text and non sequiturs. At one point it mentions “pollen,” and I can’t figure out of that’s a clue to what scientists think is causing it; or a typo; or something that leaked in from another article.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Excellent find! Most SovCit posts are pretty run-of-the-mill; this one is truly bizarre!

Yum, variety!

@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Oh. I wonder if that’s just QAnon leaking through. The whole Pizzagate thing.

@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Don’t you think all of the grimdark/cyberpunk/Dark Night stuff that started happening in the 90s is essentially goth leading leaking* into media? It all started happening in the same decade, and has been pervasive since.

LOL they should have named him “White Power Wolf.” Maybe that’d have helped.
