    WE VOTED TRUMP!

    Learn2math. If I say you have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 5 on a six sided die, and then you pick up a die, roll it, and get a 5, that doesn't mean my model was wrong. If I say you have a 3/10 chance of getting a 3 or under on a 10 sided die, you roll, and get a 2, my model was still correct...

    WE VOTED TRUMP!

    Nate Silver's model was fine. He put Trump at a ~30% chance to win. And that's how the dice rolled that day. People don't understand probabilistic models. (Note, this does not excuse his bullshit editorializing.)

    I'm talking about the 11 points on the wage slave image. Oh, I guess it's 8.5 out of 11, I have a decent rapport with my coworkers, though difficult to call it great considering their only hobbies are drinking.

    Oh no, definitely 9.5 out of 11. Not even a question. No murder, and no substance abuse, I even limit myself to two coffees a week. But all the others are scary on the nose.

    WE VOTED TRUMP!

    Trump may have done the same if he lost. Trump called for a revolution and a march on Washington when Romney lost in what was effectively a landslide in 2012. He said he would not accept the results of this race unless he won.

    WE VOTED TRUMP!

    The America that could have been if it weren't for DWS and the DNC... If you don't think this guy could have edged up 1-2 points in the very states Shillary lost, I don't know what to say.

    By 'here' I meant done in that thread. I've got a country to whine about; I should stop whining about myself. Maybe if I whine about the country hard enough, I can be the next president. It certainly worked for at least 1 person.

    It sucks but I'm more concerned with the 4 giant bruises on my back right now. Though, my stepfather is *extremely* angry about the election and he's very dangerous to deal with when he's angry.

    Yeah, I'm gonna get denied a security clearance because I'm the sole caregiver of a disabled, mentally ill parent. That makes sense.

    Is the Democratic party still a relevant political party?

    This was all on DWS and the rest of the DNC establishment. Hillary did not have the base of support in the states that mattered. Hillary won the nomination by beating Bernie by large margins in the very states that would never vote for Hillary in the general election.

    Yes, but he also directly stated that he attached it to his PSU all fucking janky, so who knows the real cause. My FTW card is going to end up going back, despite the fact that the new bios that ups the fan curve stopped all my crashes.

    This is objectively worse than the one with Stephen Mangan. As much as Elijah Wood is great, especially after Wilfred, It's way too over the top and I don't like the guy playing Dirk at all.

    He probably means like a Security+ cert or whatever. You need something equivalent and I doubt ITIL is going to count. That said, I'm pretty sure I can ace a Security+ since I know retarded people who have one.
