His model actually accounts for whether polls were taken before or after an event, and raises and lowers their impact and error margin based on that. Right up to the debate, his model was giving Kamala a <30% chance and it's only the inclusion of new polls since the debate that have moved her to 50%.

Oh my god those loop earplugs have been a lifesaver! Started using them about a year ago. Can't recommend them enough for anyone else suffering

I have a condition called misophonia. Just kill me instead. Please.

In this particular case, OP said none of the others met their needs. I would like to know what new functionality this one has to know if it's something I'm interested in or not. It's not a critique - it's helping me understand if I want to check it out or not.

I mean, that makes me even more skeptical. 108 volunteers tracked for that many sparesely populated vectors is 100% going to have hundreds of false positives just due to statistical noise.

First game I've 100% in a long time. I absolutely loved this game.

I'm going to use this as an excuse to go back and play Hades 1. I bought and binged it when it first released EA, and never went back to play the released version.

Communication is a two way street. It's both about the message the sender is trying to convey, but also the way the receiver interprets it. As a (mostly) neurotypical thinker, this is even hard for many of us to get right.

An example for clarity is the response your getting in the comments to your friends comments. Various people are disagreeing and agreeing to different levels. Conversation is navigating the complicated dynamics to as the sender, sending your message in a way the receiver will get the impression you are trying to give, and as a receiver, trying to understand the intent of the message the sender is trying to show.

There aren't many hard or fast rules. In different online communities, different styles and patterns can conotate different things. There are patterns and styles I use here on Lemmy for example, I would never use in a sports online community because they would be interpreted differently there.

My advice is don't beat yourself up about it. If you're not getting the type of interactions you're expecting in a particular community, that might be the time to ask for feedback or see if your communication style is different than the local group there. But the ephemeral nature of these online conversations make it the perfect place to experiment and find a communication style that works for you and gets the response from others you are looking for.

I have a PSN account. I can't ethically support this move that locked so many players out 4 months after buying a game. So I won't be buying until at minimum a solution is in place for all those users, but probably not even then.

As a spouse of someone who suffers from ARFID, I just wanted to pass along that there are those out there who understand the extreme suffering it can cause and recognize that the condition is not a choice you are making. She went most of her life undiagnosed and getting the diagnosis was so incredibly validating because it showed what she was experiencing was beyond her control. We wish you the best.

The distribution itself shouldn't cause a large drop in the per share price since the market is aware of this coming and would view it as a high probability of happening based on current prices. Otherwise this would be the easiest short term short ever.
