Bookmarked this so I can reread it a ninth time later, since there's no way what I thought it said is actually what it said.

I found it weird when people would act like it wasn't useful for "real" arguments. It sure helped me!

They could rename it the Trump-Kissinger Peace and/or War Crimes Award

The legendary "Morrowind only has sloughs" masterpiece?

Someone neglected to tell the Republican respondents that zero is not the best number for inflation.

Even his picture has a "try to look serious and strong but come out looking like a 130 pound druggie who just snuck out of rehab" energy.

The 1980s being the exception that proves the rule.

The reaction towards Trump's victory when every incumbent party in the world lost seats in 2024 is like assuming the water on your floor came from your clumsy spouse when your whole neighborhood is flooded.

What kind of goober gets described as an "Arch-Nordic"?

The offensive diversity in the NBA today is so underrated. You have everything from the Cavs diving two bigs, the Nuggets passing in the interior like a great 70s team, and the Charlotte Hornets playing like a pickup team playing their last game of the day.

Lower the requirements for Congress to overturn Executive Orders.

The threshold for overriding a Veto on legislation that overturns an Executive Order should be much lower than 2/3.

The Simpson's Paradox's Simpson's Paradox.

The first time Simpson's Paradox was explained to me, it seemed very intuitive and not at all paradoxical.

I do not know if that was a success or a failure on the part of the explainer, which is the real paradox in my mind.

I agree, and I think that this is fundamentally the responsibility of the political parties in the US context.

If the GOP had handled the 2016 primary better, they probably still win 2/3 of the last Presidential elections but we don't get the blatant corruption and democratic backsliding.

I'm quite confident that a significant portion of swing voter behavior is as simple as:

I'm content -> incumbent party

I'm discontent -> challenger party
