He's quite a well known pollster. Up until recently he was responsible for Five Thirty Eight, but it got sold and he left.

He got the 2016 election wrong (71 Hilary, 28 trump) He got the 2020 election right (89 Biden, 10 Trump)

Right and wrong are the incorrect terms here, but you get what I mean.

This whole concept of needing to separately register to vote ahead of time is insane to me.

As a Canadian, when I file my taxes there's a tickbox that allows anyone to register (if it's their first time) or update their address if they've done it before. Then you'll get automatically mailed a voter card prior to any election giving you details on your riding and voting location.

However, even if you don't do that, you can still vote on the day of the election by showing up with two pieces of ID. The process takes like 2 minutes longer because they need to fill out a short form, but they fill it out for you so you really don't need to do anything but sign it.

If it stays there forever, yes.

It won't though, as there become fewer humans it's likely it will become easier to have more children again (fewer people for the same amount of finite resources) and the rate will increase.

I'm just going to point out that trump is only 3 years younger, and has far more risk factors for heart attack and strokes.

Why does everyone seem to think Biden is the one who will die first.

Christian Republicans...

Is it Christian republicans?

I swear the US is fucked at this point. We're watching the collapse of the American empire in real-time. I expect a USSR style split in my lifetime, and a whole lot of upset rubes who thought that they could just pretend reality didn't exist and things would go well for them.

I just don't know which state(s) are going to split off first. Will it be the western states together, a handful of north eastern states, or will some bastard grouping of southern states decide they've had enough. Stay tuned!

X is now a Right wing porn website.

Fun.

I wonder how long the credit card companies are going to allow it. It's always been Visa and Mastercard pulling out(lol) that's pressured other major websites to remove the sexual content.

People are mad, I don't blame them for being mad. I blame them for being stupid enough to think the Conservatives will make anything better.

We spent 11 years under Harper watching housing prices skyrocket too, even with the global housing collapse in the middle he still left prices 40% higher than when they started.

The conservatives are going to get 4 years, and they're going to spend the entire time blaming the fact that things are still getting worse on the Liberals. They may even get a second 4 years before people realize that the Conservatives also can't(or won't) fix the affordability problems.

I'd argue that the initial sign up week people should not be classified as "daily active users" Lots of people will check something out when it launches, I'd only start measuring actual usage after a month or two.

The basic problem is that to get 1000 calories of beef, you need to feed the cow something like 10,000 calories. So growing a cow is actually growing an entire field of wheat/corn/etc., then feeding it to the cow, then eating the cow.

Farming all of those crops for the animals takes up a lot of land, consumes fresh water, produces wastes, and uses oil/gas (for farm equipment directly, or to produce things like nitrogen fertilizers) which produces co2. Cows also produce methane (that's the fart thing) which is a bad greenhouse gas.

You could just eat the wheat/corn/etc. directly (most of the time) and skip the meat step therefore saving a massive amount of environmental impact.

Meat sure is tasty though.
