The Weird, Random, and Interesting things that Fit Nowhere Else Thread
Leferd replied to Blarghagh's topic in Way Off-Topic
Then again, some here are accused of reckless spending- preventing the escape from serfdom cuz "trying to keep up with the Jones's." Nevermind median home prices. -
Since we're coming clean, I had an alt...on the original Bio boards.
-
I can now only see Eldars popping out of every shadow.
-
Pure conjecture on my part...but based on the cavalier attitude of our esteemed mods --at least one person posting in this thread is an alt, yes?
-
So has it been confirmed thst HP and HP2 are Eldar alts as well?
-
I see the show as an alternate reality mirror universe of the books.
-
In the show, I don't remember if Robb ever drafted a letter that may have legitimized Jon Snow, like it may have been alluded to in the books. Anyone know? Also, could we possibly see Coldhands or Benjen Stark coming to the aid of Bran and Meera?
-
What else has Bran affected through violation of the Temporal Prime Directive?
-
The kick itself was intentional but I don't think it was meant to land nor was he cognizant that the Kiwi's sack was there.

Good ep! Definitely some big revelation moments --even for book readers. That origin reveal for the Others, tho. Hmmm, maybe it wasn't actually Bran the Builder who constructed The Wall. The Children making amends for unleashing the blight? Hodor.

Sanders staying in is good for democracy. He's still bringing issues and important dialogue to kitchen tables, coffee breaks, and internet message boards across America. It's an inconvenience to the Clinton campaign, but that's part of the ballgame. Hell, Clinton did the same to Obama in '08 and didn't drop out until the Primaries were done --even though the math said she was practically out of the race.
-
You need to figure that Trump has secured the GOP nomination and ostensibly now has the party backing. Meanwhile Bernie is still playing the part of the gadfly to Hillary's left. After Sanders pulls out, the Democrat vote will normalize and shift back towards Clinton. The underlying salient metrics still skew towards a Clinton victory in November (Including the all-important Electoral College math).

Predators was cool.

Welp. ABC News/Washington Post's latest poll is out. Cherrypicking a few passages: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/poll-election-2016-shapes-up-as-a-contest-of-negatives/2016/05/21/8d4ccfd6-1ed3-11e6-b6e0-c53b7ef63b45_story.html FivethirtyEight grades ABC News/Washington Post polls as an A-.

Considering how close all the recent elections have been, that would not be a very safe bet to make. The only way you are going to see either candidate get below 40% is if there is a legitimate 3rd party candidate, like when Ross Perot pulled 18% of the vote. The two major parties clearly have a "floor" of around 45% of the popular vote, absent serious 3rd party contenders, but the electoral college is another matter. The Democrats have a pretty strong built-in advantage at this point. The 19 states plus DC that have supported the Dem candidate in every single one of the last 8 Presidential elections are 20-some EVs short of the total needed to win outright. If they can add either Florida or any two of the other reasonably large swing states, they win. By comparison, the GOP's "safe" states don't get them nearly as close to the White House-- they've got to take nearly all of the states that are considered "in play" just to eke out a narrow win.

Makes a lot of sense to me. Having been raised in the area and being related to and being good friends with "silicon valley types," I can also tell you that they/we support social justice, civil rights, progressive immigration reform, universal healthcare, quality public education, affordable housing, and an inclusive government that you know, actually "governs." Creative and dynamic types tend to be more "progressive" thinking. This is more in alignment with the Democratic Party.

Emergency palate cleanser needed pronto!

According to 538, Fox News Polls grade out as a C+ for reliability with a strong Republican mean-reverted bias, and they don't call mobile phones. If they switched up their pollster and operations, then it may be a different story with its own set of problems. Last I checked a week ago --based on aggregate polling methodologies, N. Silver reported Trump's unfavorable at above 50% while Clinton's at just under 40%. That Fox poll shows extreme high variance compared to the aggregate.

The Hills, Piedmont, and Rockridge neighborhoods have always been swank and Emeryville is tech friendly. But it's West Oakland that has seen the greatest change. History of gang activity, drive-bys, illicit trade....but the tech hipsters are taking over.

If it was only Manhattan, it would definitely be higher, but they're including all the buroughs. I still can't get over the fact that 1 in 5 houses in OAKLAND are over a million dollars.

Bwahahaha!

The ProcessTM worked! Philly got the #1 pick. Lakers number 2. Celtics goes 3.

That's the best case I've read in support of Sanders from here. Ultimately, I'm anticipating my November vote as going to Clinton but I may now go for Sanders on June 7th.
