Something I learned today that I didn’t know in PowerShell! You can do math there:
That’s about a million gazillion times faster than the now absurdly slow built-in Windows calculator.

Neoliberalie
You know an ideology is hegemonic and utterly dominant when scads of people squirm like worms from the woodwork to insist that it does not exist.
Disinterests
The urban yuppie demographic that is pro-Buttigieg/Biden/etc is just as, if not more, guilty of voting against their own self interests as the *poor* Republicans they believe embody that behaviour.

That is true, especially when you consider climate change or look at what happens when they start aging, can’t sell their house as the housing market will be devastated, can’t get anywhere anymore because they can no longer drive and anything they need is miles away — and they voted consistently against mass transit or anything that betters a community.
Another Opening
The very stupidest progressive idea that has come to the fore in the last decade is “open borders.”
Way to get all the way in the bed with capital and worker exploitation. Might as well just call yourself libertarians, subscribe to the Wall Street Journal and puff away on a big-ass cigar, because you’re about as progressive as Francisco Franco.
Clintone Generator
Neoliberal Democrats constantly say Sanders supporters who voted for Trump or stayed home were traitors. They don’t realize that when they say that, they are admitting Sanders had more support than Clinton and would have won.

I do think Sanders would’ve won, though it still would’ve been close. No one was excited about Clinton except pseudo-hippie-ish feminists between the age of 50-70. That’s about 0.4% of the population so not very significant.
Lap Over
I generally advocate precise and careful language. But at some point, if I say that "Men are taller than women" and you object because you know a counter example, then the fault lies not with me, but with you not recognizing that it's obviously implicitly a statistical statement.

But generalization is bad and is discrimination, and according to scientists traumatized by race “science.” According to them, if distributions overlap this means everyone is the same (somehow).
Fuck all that noise.
