I should look into how that stuff works.

Why are you guys trying to edge out redsox?

---

I highly doubt Jakyl has red sox blocked, so I'm not sure why you think we are.

I mean there's a reason ltm didn't make this topic.

red sox isn't blocked.

Now being ignored is another matter and it's his problem.

Sox closed it himself I figured.

Well its been a fun ride and dream come true but if this is the direction Nascar is headed we will not participate after 2020 season is over, i dont believe in kneeling during Anthem nor taken ppl right to fly what ever flag they love. I could care less about the Confederate Flag but there are ppl that do and it doesnt make them a racist all you are doing is f****** one group to cater to another and i aint spend the money we are to participate in any political BS!! So everything is for SALE!! Sarah Ciccarelli

As articulate as youd imagine

"Don't you dare disrespect the anthem by kneeling, but how DARE you ban the enemy flag that fought against the anthem and our country."

Is this his way of announcing his plans to run in 2024 after he loses this year and everybody tries to pretend his administration never happened?

https://nypost.com/2020/06/11/nypd-lieutenant-apologizes-for-kneeling-alongside-protesters/

A Manhattan NYPD lieutenant sent an email to his fellow officers apologizing for kneeling alongside George Floyd protesters late last month telling them that the cop in me wants to kick my own ass.

In a June 3 email obtained by The Post Thursday, Lt. Robert Cattani of the Midtown South Precinct said he regrets his horrible decision to give into a crowd of protesters demands and kneel at Foley Square in Lower Manhattan, with several other cops.

[...]

I thought maybe that one protester/rioters who saw it would later think twice about fighting or hurting a cop, Cattani wrote. I was wrong. At least that [sic] what I told myself when we made that bad decision. I know that it was wrong and something I will be shamed and humiliated about for the rest of my life.

[...]

He wrote that his decision to kneel goes against every principle and value I stand for.

I spent the first part of my career thriving to build a reputation of a good cop, he said. I threw that all in the garbage in Sunday.

Since Cattani took a knee, he said, hes struggled to eat and sleep and even considered leaving the department.

I could not imagine the idea of ever coming back to work and putting on the uniform I so wrongly shamed, he wrote. However, I decided that was the easy way out for me and I will continue to come to work every day being there for my personnel.

lmao

never trust copaganda

I read JK Rowlings essay on sex and gender. I can see why it's got some people upset. "trans-identifying" is a dirty word, but for the most part it's well articulated. Going by the twitter mobs, you'd think she was acting like Rick Santorum or something, but that isn't the case

Indeed, this.

I'm just lucky that one of the few 'celebrity' figures I actually care about haven't come out as assholes. JK Rowling's works attracted a lot of left-leaning people and the megafans are probably not too happy right about now.

2020 started with one of my favorite 'celebrity' figures (Neil Peart) dying and it has been all downhill since.

The Economist has an election model up

It currently gives Trump a 4.5 times as high chance of winning the election as it does him winning the popular vote:

Reminder for certain morons who don't know what probability is.

A "five in six chance" is basically saying "roll a normal six-sided die. If the result is 6, you lose."

In the context of this situation it is:

"If the result is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, you lose.
If the result is exactly 6 you extra lose."

And my die has a 50% chance of rolling a 6. Either it comes up 6 or it doesn't.

This was actually the logic of the guy who was interviewed by John Oliver in my favorite Daily Show field piece (who sued over the LHC) to conclude that there was a 50% chance that it would create a black hole that would destroy the earth...!

If the die breaks in two when it hits the table and the two halves add up to 7, that's a third party candidate winning.

You have a better chance at deprogramming a lifelong racist than you do at explaining probability to someone who doesn't understand numbers.

I was especially fond of all the people in 2016 going "Trump has such a low chance of winning, why are you worried?" Spoken like people who've never played Fire Emblem. (Also his actual chances at winning were always much higher than most people wanted to admit, but yeah)

Yes

I think studies have shown humans only really understand three probabilities, 0%, 50%, and 100%. So things just get pushed into one of those categories.

I think I remember that one.

This is the third time in two days I've gotten annoyed at people not understanding that a black hole the mass of a proton, or that's 15 TeV, or 30 TeV, would evaporate almost instantly (like 1E-87 seconds), which is like a quadrillion quadrillionth of a Planck second

in conclusion fuck </Scorpion>

This reminds me of Sacred Stones. Still haven't forgot about how I lost Ross. 94% chance to hit and kill the target. I miss. They have a 12% chance to hit. They connect. Ross dies. Sadness.

So there is a 33%chance that it's a 50% chance?

Sounds like 1 in 6 to me.
