But if polling is too far off from reality no one will pay for it either, unless the grift here is one last cycle of money making

As someone who falls in that age demographic the only time I've answered phone calls that aren't already in my contacts was when I was unemployed. This means that a pole that doesn't adjust for employment is going to be biased for people who don't have a job

I'm assuming that people who are unemployed are less happy with the incumbent than the average american, seeing as they don't have a job and might be inclined to blame politics for that as well as having less money

I'm assuming that whatever young people they do reach must be biased in some I'm assuming that whatever young people they do reach must be biased in some way. Maybe they live with an elderly person? That could indicate living at home or assisting an elderly relative with Healthcare

I've wondered specifically about this automatic-spam-call-blocker aspect of The Polling Issue, and whether we're like, sampling only people who have old or shitty cell phones or something?
I'm a millennial but my phone has a spam blocker that doesn't even show me the calls that would be coming from a pollster. And NYT/Siena is all phone. You'd have a way better chance of reaching me via the Pew method of sending out physical mail asking you to participate online. I get mail!

The only situation in which I would answer an unknown phone number would be if I'm unemployed. I wonder how that's biasing things

Cosigning this Ignoring it didnt keep me from feeling so much misery that i wanted to die when I was 10
Everybody who told children ignoring bullies would make them safe back in the 90s is responsible for everything going on right now.

I've been so busy I kept forgetting to post about this year's queer games bundle but I have three IF pieces in it! there are a ton of incredible games in here by wonderful developers and a purchase directly supports us and allows us to make more projects!
Queer Games Bundle 🌈 is back for a fourth year, with 500 queer games and artworks $60 (or $10+), the low-end cost of a new AAA game. We've joined charity TTRPGs for Palestine as Featured Bundles on the itchio homepage! Check us both out. ✨ itch.io/b/2506

British constituency names are so funny sounding what is that place

It really is a weird symmetry that this year the UK elections are the 4th of July and the US elections are the 5th of November.

And, their definition of "porn" includes acknowledging the existence of trans people.

Also it creates demand for sketchy porn sites that don't follow the law.

It's toilet paper now, just like the rest of the constitution. Liberalism won't save us

And by porn they also mean anything pro LGBT too
