@parkersity_9 Extroverted introvert is more what I am, I like interacting with people, but some days when I don't have work, I recharge my social batteries.

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@parkersity_9 I have ADHD so my attention is divided in twelve places already, it cannot be divided another three or four ways like people can normally

@seadave1a Facing adversity builds character or whatever they say

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@seadave1a I got chased by dogs growing up and I chase my dog when I’m playing with him so he chases me in return. Not the kind of aggressive chase from growing up though.

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@pkmn_nds Got the original ones too of Gold and Silver but I’m afraid to boot them up and what I might find

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@pkmn_nds I will be in despair the day my cartridges stop working. Still got two working ones from that year.

@Criminalsimpson I still don’t understand. I can’t remember if they move in sync or independently. Like what is the behavior there?

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@DaxterLightning @Pokemonshell That picture isn’t just confusion, it’s a whole mood. I’d imagine I look that sometimes

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@Pokemonshell Hitting myself for five turns (that’s always how long my Pokémon gets confused, 89% of the time, kind of unfair)

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@Syrup_Tishus I actually laughed a bit. Well done!

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@earlyvotedata So there’s a degree of randomness involved.

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@earlyvotedata That’s a good summary of it. Part of the issue with political science is it’s too focused on the macro level and not on the micro, because the micro exists you’ll never get it 100% right (probably more like 80%). Individuals act differently/have different thoughts

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@earlyvotedata The reality is every cycle, especially in house elections, there’s always a surprise, where that is we’ll find out on election night. It’s what makes analyzing elections fun and watching them a joy

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@earlyvotedata The trick is learning to read what kind of voter is overrepresented and underrepresented in polls. Knowing the different parts of each party is also key

@RCReaganCon Only bait I know is fishing bait, so idk.

[Aidan Sterk @StatsbyMrSterk]

@RCReaganCon I probably used the wrong word for that (ragebait) but I don’t even know if there’s different ones, so I’ll leave that to all of you on here
