You should try not being so angry and offended all the time.

Because the economy has added more than 300k jobs in 3 single months over the past year. If you go back to the beginning of 22, that number goes up to 9.

While 300k jobs sounds like a big number, represents a small fraction of our economy. It doesn't even account for 0.2% of total employment. And that's over a year.

That being said, I'm glad I snagged my job when I did and that I'm being treated like I'm excelling at it.

I guess I'm taking the meme too literally here and that people would be disgusted by it. While I think it's a common practice, but obviously to be used very judiciously.

I was an embedded developer for years for critical applications that could not go down. While I preferred avoiding dynamically allocating memory, as it was much less risky, there were certainly times it just made sense or was the only way.

One was when we were reprogramming the device, which was connected to an fpga which would also require reprogramming. You couldn't store both the fpga binary and the new binary for the device in memory at once, but there was plenty of space to hold each one individually. So allocate the space for the fpga, program it, free and allocate space the new processor code, verify and flash.

What am I missing? Have things changed?

I wouldn't believe you because people who don't give a fuck dont feel the need to go into the comments and tell everyone they don't give a fuck.

On lemme I'm often reminded of the vegan joke:

How do you tell if someone is a Linux user? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

How do you defend against something without first uncovering it and seeing how it works?

I feel like this was a whole lot of words to dodge the actual question. I get that you don't believe that people can be still undecided, and I full understand the sentiment (although, I also recognize that I am a lot more in tune with politics than other people, this isn't calling them stupid, but simply focused on other things).

But the numbers tell a different story. So what are you saying about those numbers? That they're faked?

So what are you saying, exactly? That the polls are made up and there is some conspiracy to mislead? What you are saying sounds potentially reasonable, but at the same time the numbers don't support it.

So how does this tie into your original point that it's hard for you to believe that anyone isn't decided? The whole point of bringing up polls in general was to show that this shouldn't be hard to believe at all. The claim that you were always just talking about the conservative media seems like a massive non-sequitur.

How on Earth am I saying that?

Sorry I got it wrong. What exactly are you saying with that point?

Have you met the average Fox viewer?

What does the average Fox viewer have to do with you and your point?

Conservative media not giving a shit about the truth isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s a fact. Hence Fox having to pay a billion dollars to Dominion.

Wait, now we are just talking about conservative media? I thought we were talking about the media wanting you to think there was actually a race?

A couple of things.

First, your link is outdated: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/2022-election-polling-accuracy/

Yes, 2020 was a bad year, but last year was actually a very good year. Basically what you are saying is that "4 years ago polls were bad, so that allows me to just believe whatever I want."

Second, if you believe you have no metric by which to measure something, the correct thought is "I'm not sure what the answer is" not "what I think is true must be true."

Plus, don't believe it was missed that you just outright ignored the whole part of your post that this is some conspiracy, of course thrown out there with zero evidence.
