@numbertalker@SidKhurana3607 yeah. Idk about those areas but in MA, the big French-Canadian population largely came later through 19th/early-20th-century migration into mill towns — Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Holyoke, etc. That was mostly after the Irish had already established a major presence.
@KyleKulinski@NateSilver538 Trump got away with it because people saw strength/competence. Platner just comes off toxic and amateur. That’s the difference.
@CaneTigger@stoolpresidente Collins isn’t perfect, but Maine has a long history of rewarding cautious, independent Republicans. Democrats aren’t owed the seat just because they want it.
@CaneTigger@stoolpresidente Collins isn’t perfect, but I’ll take a serious, steady senator over a scandal-plagued candidate with terrible judgment. Maine doesn’t owe Democrats a seat just because they think the state is “blue.”
@RichardArion1 Grok’s mistake was taking a wildly unrealistic hypothetical and extrapolating from it.
LLMs can produce coherent math from bad assumptions. That doesn’t make the conclusion true (3/3).
@RichardArion1 The entire argument is built on a fake premise:
“15% of babies born to White mothers have Black fathers.”
That is nowhere close to actual U.S. birth data. If it were true, interracial White mother/Black father births would be an enormous share of all births in America (2/3).
@DanBilzerian Bobby Fischer was a chess genius, not a historian or moral authority. Being Jewish doesn’t make Holocaust denial or “Jews control the world” credible. Brilliant people can still be paranoid, hateful, and completely wrong outside their field.
@HurricaneAddict That storm was defined by the stall near the benchmark and extreme duration. This looks much more progressive — high-end potential, but not a true analog IMO (2/2).
@HurricaneAddict I don’t really see the 1978 comparison here. The pressure gradient is impressive, sure, but raw high-minus-low numbers alone don’t make it a Feb ‘78–type setup (1/2).
@Amystreet Alright, I’ll step out of hiding. I’m one of the last human reply guys left—no AI ghostwriter, no algorithm whispering in my ear. Just a real person doomscrolling and typing with questionable judgment. If authenticity is rare now… here you go.
@ndcarson stop feeling sorry for yourself and make the best out of your current situation. no politician is going to create any meaningful change to your own life.
The path to Democratic success is to get a blue collar white guy who doesn’t talk about culture/social issues to win elections for them, never mention his party, and then vote with them on every issue.
