the only time in my life that I’m reminded that the human anatomy has an undeveloped tail is when I’m sitting in an airline seat
I’ve done something similar by throwing most social media apps on another phone that’s left at my desk. I can’t recommend it enough.
This weekend’s #oceanscalling was a GREAT break from reality. What a weekend to see #greenday, #goodcharlotte, #falloutboy, and others.

It’s also incredible the difference in quality of polls between politics and other areas.

The polls about other things like personal financial habits appeared to have a LOT more thought put into what was asked, so there are clearly people capable of seemingly honest polling.

My statistics teacher in high school would’ve rejected my work if I surveyed a class with the slop these polling companies come up with.
I used to be a list for polling to ipsos. Too many poll questions are uselessly open to interpretation. I eventually answered poll q’s with “how can I answer so my opinion won’t get distorted” before I stopped.

ie “is the country headed in the right track” was a VERY ambiguous question under Biden
Look at Virginia’s bill on age restricted access. It was passed by almost every single lawmaker, Democrat and Republican, with ever-so-slightly Democrat majorities in both legislative chambers.

I would’ve guessed that 51-55% would’ve voted Yes, not the 99% across both chambers it passed with.
