3 years ago, the average 30-year mortgage rate was 2.98%, per Charlie Bilello. The median existing home price in the US was $294,000 .
Currently, the 30-year mortgage rate is 6.78% and the median home price is $410,000.
This map represents 6% of the worlds landmass, and 2% of the worlds surface mass as a whole, and uses a sample size of 1 month.
I am begging you to take just one fucking statistics class in your life, and stop being so damn gullible.
I keep reading and hearing what an unusually hot summer the U.S. is having. Here’s an NOAA map of this year’s June temps’ difference from normal. There are hotter-than-normal places and cooler-than-normal places this year, NOT overall higher-than-normal temps.
Ratings bump is in quotations because if you took a sample size large enough to represent all demographics in america at their true rate, there is no ratings bump.
I've heard so many people talking triumphantly about Trumps ratings going up with each additional indictment, yet none of them ever seem to be willing to have any skin in the game. Curious!
Honestly, if you think the "ratings bump" currently being fawned over in right wing media circles is meaningful and relevant to a general election, this is probably like the third election you've ever paid attention to.
You could have simply chosen to have a functioning brain and saw through the bullshit immediately, this aint rocket science. It almost never is rocket science.
Came back for a sec because where else would I want to point and laugh at the fact that Elon is literally cutting checks to far right power users he likes to try to keep them from fleeing the platform, and calling it revenue sharing.
All while performing significantly more content moderation than his predecessor, allowing users to purchase reach/engagement, and blocking search results for sites he is big mad at. LOL if you fell for this free speech absolutist bullshit.
@bronsojr Thankfully, I have a discord and some established connections on there, but the open forum discussion with like-minded people was something I really took for granted. Was able to network with a lot of people that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to.
This website has become unbearable with ads and bots. Theres significantly less ad dollars going to Twitter, yet my feed has significantly more ads, about half trying to get me to pay for this site so I may or may not see fewer ads. Dead platform walking, im out.✌️
@bronsojr yeah, ive primarily used it for that and its been the only way I can really connect with the fantasy sports/gambling community, and its a massive disappointment that the communal aspect is being fractured. but such is life.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) complains about how antitrust laws impact college sports at a hearing on the PGA Tour-LIV merger:
“Now everybody that plays basketball in college is gonna be driving a Bentley or a Rolls. I mean, we’re gonna be seeing rap stars instead of basketball stars.”
I am constantly reminded of the idea that a Libertarian is essentially a house cat. If you are a cat owner, this needs no explanation.
Cats are fine too, I have two of them, but no one's walking around thinking that cats are reliable for any real responsibilities or anything.
@scobie@JoeBiden People spending their time on the internet...not personally getting mad about stuff, but trying to determine what other people should be mad about, because we live in a society
