So, are there now Sunni-SJWs and Shia-SJWs? Could be fun.
Sunni and Shia was not been gotten along since the split occurred.

Sometime in the 1970s, I believe.

Actually, the schism occurred after the creation of Israel, or after 9/11 and all that nasty "Islamophobia" that entailed. All Muslims lived in peace and harmony for centuries until alt-right Islamophobes turned up in the early 21st century. Just as there was NEVER any slavery until whiteys created it.

Worst luck or best luck in the world. Bad luck is being finished off by the first bit of adversity you encounter. I would say Phil has at least as many lives as a cat.

Well, on the other hand, we're a bit short because taxes have just called in, and we also need to save a bit for the wedding in September. I think NMS can wait a little (plus by then you'll know it so well I can bugger you for advice).

Trying to extrapolate results like that to the voting in individual constituencies would seem somewhat error prone. It should be roughly correct, but could easily hide some important information, resulting in the sort of errors many of you are talking about. This is why in the US, the key is to use the state-level polls, since that is the basis on which we elect a president (via electoral college). Looking at the national polls can be misleading.
I think public constituency polls are rarer here because of the cost of polling from the main Professional poll organisations and a decent sample size etc though the parties often hint at "private polling" , When the stakes are high enough , they do go into certain marginal constituencies to see what the lie of land is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_p ... E2%80%9315

Interesting. It seems most constituencies only had a single poll, often months beforehand. Given likely error margins, and the possibility of drift over time, you would want two or three anywhere remotely close. Given the reliance on national polls, Im not surprised that UK polls are seen as inaccurate.

For comparison, PA has been polled 26 times since March, with the last I see being 3 weeks ago. I expect it will continue to be polled frequently as a swing state until the election. Granted, as far as I can tell, MD hasnt been polled since April, but there are three on record from the beginning of the year, each giving it 20+% to Clinton. Despite their recent election of a Republican Governor, MD is a pretty safe bet for Clinton, so Im not terribly surprised by the lack of polling data. Its one thing to be off by a couple of points, its another to be off by 20 or more.

Australia is the same. They will poll interesting seats (not just the most marginal) but polls are done at most at a state level. However, swings tend to be uniform enough that you can project from them.

The problem at the moment is that I think that polls are getting less accurate. This could be bad news for Clinton. If Democrats think that she is 9% ahead of Trump then a lot of people who don't really like her will keep themselves 'pure' by staying home. If the polls are wrong and it is actually much closer, this could cost Clinton the election.

Again, this is why I think national polls are fairly useless, and you have to look at the state level data. But Im pretty sure that anyone actually paying attention (read inside Hillary's camp and presumably inside Trump's camp, but who the hell knows whats really going on inside that campaign) knows this. If I could move public opinion in 4-5 states by 4%, Trump would be elected. That might show up as a 1% move on the national data. Sam Wang's model shows Hillary up by a median 7% on national polls, but predicts that a 3.5% move evenly distributed across all states would elect Trump. Thats not because the polls are not accurate, its because the national polls are not measuring how we elect a president.

So any smart campaign manager (and both Mook and Manafort qualify) will focus get out the vote efforts in swing states like PA, OH, FL. It doesnt matter much if people stay home in MD, NY, TN or OK, the first two will go for Clinton and the last two for Trump.

You know it's the attacking your audience that was the issue. Honestly if they have wouldn't have done that and just made a shitty movie I would probably have wanted to see it because I like Ghostbusters.

The moment they called me a manbaby for not liking the premise was the moment they lost my money.
Attacking your audience is never a good idea. Feig is an idiot.

Hopefully this failure will convince movie execs that SJW drama can actually be bad for business.

When you think about it, pandering to the politically correct won't get you viewers - it can't. Politically correct people don't like things. They're only interested in being outraged at the things they don't like, and feeling superior to the scum who do like them. I bet half the fembots slagging off manbabies and dudebros over Ghostbusters haven't seen it themselves.

Re Suicide Squad. Is it just me, or in the cartoons was Harley Quinn not called Harley Quinn because she dressed like a Harlequin? In the shots I've seen from the movie, she's just looks like an overgrown Tumblr baby. Where's the Harlequin symbolism gone?

Speaking of which, here's an interesting article about the 2012 election:

Swing states poll: Amid barrage of ads, Obama has edge

Basically Obama and Romney flooded the swing states with some positive ads about themselves and many negative ones about the other candidate. Obama's team was more successful: many more people said that they changed their mind about Romney than about Obama after the ads.

There's an interesting quote here:

"In a swing state, you're part of the presidential campaign," says political scientist Darrell West, author of Air Wars. "Everywhere else, you're outside."

Clinton is probably going to concentrate her efforts on alienating people from Trump based on his perceived extremism, inexperience, hypocrisy and various goofs in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Iowa, Michigan, Winsconsin, Colorado and Nevada and on getting Latinos and black people to vote in those states. Trump's team will likely target Clinton about corruption, frail health and probably mental health issues in the same states.

If they're smart both campaign managers will avoid trying to convince people and states who are already leaning one way or the other. They'll target those who are disgusted by politics but really don't want either Clinton or Trump to be elected, or on those who vote according to specific issues.

An example of a target voter in the 2012 election:

Jessica Bruning, 28, of Holstein, Iowa.

"I don't get a chance to see the news a lot," Bruning, who was called in the USA TODAY Poll, said in a follow-up phone interview. "I have two kids and go to school and work. Seeing the ads every day helps me catch up. I see what they are going to do."

What has she learned? That Obama has been pushing to keep student loan rates low — she's attending community college to be certified as a welder, so that's an important issue for her — and that Romney "wants to cut taxes for the rich people and raise them for the poor."

"I don't think that's cool," she says. She plans to vote for Obama.

TL;DR: Expect a boatloads of ads if you live in a swing state. Otherwise, you don't really matter too much to either political machine.

If you ask me for advice, the only problem will be getting me to eventually stop talking. Mundane Matt did a video about NMS the other day, and I paused to rant in the comments so many times, that I practically wrote a book about NMS there. He got a bunch of things wrong in his video, so I couldn't stop myself. I usually agree with his videos.

I was joking. It was a joke about how I must have been waiting for the right game to come along before becoming a real gamer. I only fooled around with a few games before. Now, I'm settling down.

I will never get real life married. I knew it ever since I was a little kid that there was no way in hell. Same with having kids. So, I've successfully never married and never even been pregnant. No more periods since I'm almost 54, so the last one's for sure. I'm a hermit by nature and hate living with people. Even the 5 years I spent living with the only person I thought I could ever live with as a roommate (my best friend for 30 years who died last year) stressed our friendship a lot. I'm so relieved to be living on my own again.

I don't want to be anyone's caretaker which one has to be if you have kids, nor could I ever promise any guy a "forever" relationship. It's guaranteed that at some point, I will lose my sexual interest in him as well as become interested in other men. The idea of being in a "couple" makes me wince and crinkle my nose in disgust. I know it's good for most people, but even my infatuations are temporary and I know that if I indulge in the emotion that that too is temporary, and not some "fall in love" romance thing.

Leo Laporte is a tech reporter who has been in the business for decades. I am not sure were he got his start but he was on Tech TV in the in the late 90s early 2000s. After that went up he started his own podcast network which is still going strong today. The format of most of the podcast are pretty much Laporte and two to three other people talking about tech. Some of the shows are mostly about one subject like Mac Break Weekly is mostly about Apple. The show I was talking about is This Week in Tech (twit) which is a catch all show.

I am slightly pissed off right now.

I think that ISIS is allowed to keep their pages up because it is a extremely useful method of keeping track of would be terrorist.

If you live in a swing state, I can't see how abolishing the electoral college and getting these fucking pols to leave your state alone couldn't be near the top of your wish list.

And I think keeping my friend's page up would be an extremely useful method of keeping track of scantily-clad ladies. But one of those doesn't kill people.

PZ has some interesting stock ideas in his latest fried-free speech post.

Firstly we get the reasoning behind his silo approach. He simply conflates the worst of trolls with anything he dislikes.

it’s become about allowing anyone to vomit shit freely, everywhere, so that raw useless noise dominates over any signal.

He then defines the horde-mechanism behind his own demise.

it’s actually antithetical to the strengths of atheism, which ought to be freethought, evidence-based thinking, and self-criticism. Hero worship is the path to orthodoxy and dogma

:think: Time to review the rules of this bastion of free thinking self criticism ....

Rule the second.This blog is mine. It started as an avenue for self-expression, nothing more, and that is all it is even now. It is not yours. It is not something more. It allows you to leave comments, but only because a) that is the convention of a blog, and b) I do enjoy some conversations with some people. But one thing I’ve learned over the years is that a lot of people are assholes who see comments as an opportunity to piss on everyone and assert their dominance. If that’s your intent, you have no power here and can just go away.

Rule the third. There are no other rules but this: do not annoy me.

I can't really blame Facebook. They want to everything G Rated so everyone wants to access it.

Suggest to your friend to try Google+ I know it's not facebook but he can post more freely there and link it on facebook.

Also send me links.

Not sure where he posted this, but this video is what got the ginger jihadi I mentioned on the previous page caught:

Some sharp eyed FBI dude saw it and contacted the RCMP that were able to stop him from killing any innocents so I think there can be good in not just shutting these guys down.
