That is what the culture war is. The effort to create an environment where publishers and artists have a harder time including aspects labeled "woke" because of a loud minority will harass the people involved, review bomb the products, dominate the discourse with bad faith arguments, and generally minimize the potential enjoyment of anyone who is the intended audience. This is what forcing an agenda upon artists looks like.
It's also the third millennium of the era. 1-1000 AD was the first, 1001-2000 AD was the second, and we are now in the third.
They don't call elections. They tell you the odds.
So 50 F is the ideal temperature?
If I told you that you had a five in six chance to roll the dice and not roll a one, and then you rolled the dice and got a one, was what I told you wrong?
Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere universe would be fantastic. The last thing I remember hearing was that he was working on a script for a Mistborn movie. I would've preferred a TV-show, but he feels it would work better as a movie, and I trust his judgement.
Oh it is a democracy, but not “direct democracy”. We don’t choose what happens, we just choose who decides what happens.
Still not a democracy, you just described a Republic, which is what we’ve always officially been even if die hard patriots prefer to say democracy
What are you talking about? The people electing representatives that makes the final decisions is called "representative democracy". A republic is a form of representative democracy. A constitutional monarchy, like you find a lot of in Europe, is another form of representative democracy that fit the original description, without being republics.
Everyone descends from Africans. That's where the human species originated.
Here is a direct quote from 538:
538’s forecast is based on a combination of polls and campaign “fundamentals,” such as economic conditions, state partisanship and incumbency. It’s not meant to “call” a winner, but rather to give you a sense of how likely each candidate is to win. Check out our methodology to learn exactly how we calculate these probabilities.
In 2016 they gave Hillary Clinton a 71.4 % chance of winning, and in 2020 they gave Joe Biden 89 % chance of winning. They are dealing in odds, not calls.
And even if it isn't getting through to you, how were they wrong in 2020?
What is a doctor father?
What did the founding fathers decide that made it impossible to have short election seasons in the US?
By that logic 2000 is the last year of the second millennium, 2001 is the first year of the third millennium, 2002 the second, and 2003 the third.
The era started at year 1, and not year 0. So the new millenniums starts at years that ends with 1.
Aren't they both the election of a party's candidate instead of a public office?
Do you have any examples?
If 0 F is 0 % hot, and 100 F is 100 % hot; shouldn't 50 F be the Goldilocks ideal of neither too hot or too cold at 50 %?
And if 50 F isn't the Goldilocks ideal, then where on the scale is it?
Which politician do you believe would be able to solve all or any of those issues with the razor thin majority in Congress the Democrats have had during Biden's administration?
So the US Government should not make money available ASAP to rebuild the bridge, but instead wait for the laughable scenario that the company pays for the damages?
I have never written a PhD thesis, so I might not be the best representative, but it's the first time I've heard the phrase.
Where did you find an overview of the racial makeup of the top 100 companies' employees?
What would accurate odds in the previous two presidential elections look like to you?
Poker Face
If he doesn't end up as VP, he would be a good candidate for Mitch McConnell's senate seat when he retires in 2026.
My assumption was that a temperature scale for the human experience would place the ideal temperature around the middle, and not towards too hot. Would it improve such a scale if the 0 F was closer where 20 or 30 is currently, so that 70-80 is more centered? Is 0 F the perfect point for where it's unacceptably cold for a human, or could it have been shifted up or down the scale?
And when the artists chooses to include all genders, or races, or trans people; what would you call the effort to force the artists from removing this from their art?
