I don't understand why people put up with this with a freaking game. I will never pay money to companies that do this stuff. There are literally tens of thousands of games available right now that are perfectly enjoyable.

Well, shit!

pretty done with Bill’s fetishes about bing and ai.

I agree with all your points, but Bill Gates has no agency on the company's decisions these days. Blame Satya.

Yeah, toilet humor is not for me either.

Thank you! Sounds point, and I appreciate you typing all that. I will check it out with an open mind. But that will be difficult. I come from a place where socialism/communism was implemented, in which the message was "being rich is a bad thing," and the government is just a bunch of hypocrite authoritarian corrupts. So I have my reservations.

But I'm always willing to learn.

What do you mean by "radicalization"? I know you're talking in hyperbole, but are you saying that you're more fervent of your original ideas, or that going over there made a huge impact on the things you believe in?

Well? Care to elaborate on your findings?

Plus it shows three levels of indentation. Well... there is the extra one created by the compiler directives, but do they really count?

Which is ironic, because women were the "code monkeys" of back when human computers were a thing - humans actually doing the computing by hand; and most of them were women.

lol

What other comments? The ones against Trump?

Let's start our own company!

It's not like I disagree with you, but we're looking at the same thing with different lens. You're saying things like "science is accurate" which I can agree with. But then you see headlines like "science says vaccines cause autism," and that's what I'm talking about.

So, in your own words:

The polls are actually pretty good.

People are shit at statistics.

And unfortunately, people like clean story-lines and news organizations are more than happy to supply them.

We're not disagreeing.

If I see a report that says "polls show that Biden/Trump/Clinton is winning," I'll think "I'll believe it on election day."

I did lol, why the hell would I recommend it otherwise?

Not directly saying that you're doing this, but c'mon, you know the answer. Why would anyone recommend a paid product?

There is a free trial and you can check out if it’s worth it for you btw

Nice! I didn't know there was a trial. Good to know.

You can also filter out the quora and other shitty websites results, which is nice

Oh, now we're talking!! That's very cool.

Just do a google search with these terms: polls show clinton trump biden

You will see polls largely favoring Hillary, or largely favoring Biden, or saying that Trump is winning. Then in the end the elections are pretty much 50/50.

Exactly my experience. The poll would indicate a vast advantage of one candidate over the other, then the election shows results that are very, very close calls.

Indeed, but to be frank, I take political polls with a grain of salt these days. They rarely reflect the actual result of the elections.

Yelllow?

Yes, I remember this. But people have wised up. How do I know? Because Trump lost while being a sitting president, an event that doesn't happen often. At least in 2015/2016, a lot of people were giving him the benefit of the doubt. And it wasn't the majority (he lost the popular vote, as we all know.)

Are you fucking serious?
