For me at that time, the "inane" activities were sleep, rarely I had time to go on my shitty computer some evenings.

but do you watch television? A sports fan? Do you go out for entertainment, ever?

At that time in my life, no, to all of those. I was literally almost homeless.

They certainly can, though the proper term is bias. In that respect, something I find particularly egregious is ARI's use of loaded terminology in it's articles describing the 'issues' it's ostensibly doing surveys on ("Culture wars", "Canadians not convinced", etc.). These are the first thing users see when they navigate to the website which almost certainly influences their opinions before they even start the survey. Even if the survey is emailed to them, some of them will likely navigate to their site anyway to brush up on facts.

Another potential issue (though this is present in all psychology/sociology research; majority of psych papers are done on university students), is that their sample population is only people that have taken the time to register in their forum. Even though they're ostensibly paid for it, there aren't many people that will do that, or even think of it and given how some of their articles are titled I can get a fairly clear picture of the kind of person that would want to make an account on that website.

Lastly, I'm not a psych major, but when a paper's methodology section basically amounts to "We surveyed random users on our website at this date" and nothing else of substance, I tend to not take it seriously.

Not surprised a newspaper picked it up though. A really good clicky headline, and they didn't even have to think it up.

Labelled mid-right because of the terminology they use.

Oh, I get it. You're just trolling, but poorly. Have some imagination at least...

Populist campaigning strategies and poor education made this possible.

Your personal opinion ≠ everyone else's opinion

Get your head out of your ass and look around for once.

and an apathetic and disengaged voter base willing to look the other way.

In my opinion, and personal experience, it also has a lot to do with not having enough time and energy to think about anything other then putting food on the table, or even where your next meal is coming from. Certainly there are people that just don't give a fuck, but I think that would be the minority if more people weren't living paycheque to paycheque.

He did. ...I suspect cryonic techniques need to be further developed to ensure acceptable levels of microbiotic populations.

If the port is anything like ZD, K&M won't work.

It was fine for me, as long as I used a controller. As soon as I started using a keyboard it would start lagging and eventually crash.

Certainly; however, most people don't seem to think that far. All they can do is add and subtract.
