- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 3 weeks ago:
As a data analyst, the way the two graphs are setup terribly. There’s really not enough information to come up with any conclusions from the charts.
Also, first, there’s not enough information from the graphs to determine the situation since it’s only by percentages and not population. Second, our system is based on the winners of each state and used by the electoral votes. So overall popular vote isn’t going to determine who got elected, even if the chart showed all blue for all demographics.
- Comment on Was the first SSN to be assigned in the US just 000-00-001? 2 months ago:
When I went to college early 2000’s, my SSN was printed directly on my student ID card. It was the unique ID that the university used for each student. Then like a year or two later, they required all the students to get new IDs without the SSN printed on them.
- Comment on Can Trump still run for president now that he's a convicted felon? 6 months ago:
I wonder if the secret service would need to be locked in the cell with him.
- Comment on Did Obama Becoming President Make People Hide Their Racism? 7 months ago:
You’re not wrong. Obama was a really good president. The problem is that instead of being far left, he was a very left central president and tried very hard to work with Republicans.
Part of the problem is that Republicans didn’t want to associate with the opposing factor and started moving further right as Obama positioned himself in the center. The racists in the far right were ready to undo everything Obama helped shaped during his 8 years in office.
- Comment on This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating 8 months ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding. Yes, it cannot fit in when it’s angled properly to fit into the hole. However, if you angle the plate 45 degrees and lift one end of the plate, it will fall into the diagonally. That’s why manholes are round shaped. There is no angle for a round cover to fall into the hole itself.
- Comment on This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating 8 months ago:
You’re right. OP called it a manhole, so I assumed. But looking at the size compared to the foot, it’s too small to be a manhole cover.
- Comment on This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating 8 months ago:
There’s a risk that if you try to turn the square cover that the cover will fall into the hole. It’s really strange that it’s square and not round.
- Comment on This manhole placement is more than mildly infuriating 8 months ago:
Is no one else going to talk about how weird it is to see a square manhole cover? Now there’s a risk of dropping the cover down the hole due to the shape.

- Comment on Why not just let people use opioids? It's cheap. People like it. Arguably healthier than weed, alcohol or tobacco. Addiction isn't an issue if you can stay supplied. 1 year ago:
Everything you said is how I assume would happen. Also after watching Painkiller on Netflix, I can see how it can get out of hand even with prescriptions back in the 80s and 90s.

“The advantage that religion (and conservatives) has over magic or science is that man’s inability to understand is built into the system, so if an explanation is confusing or unsatisfying, it strengthens the point.” -Off to be the Wizard by Scott Meyer

I keep forgetting that Snapchat is still around until I see a post like this

As an IT person, I was going to suggest this too. Glad you brought it up first.
