Reddit is fun. It was a reddit app that was killed when reddit started charging crack prices for api requests.

Link to the data, a source of the infograph, or something that can get me to interpret what I’m actually looking at. I tried to figure out where it came from and can’t find it. I don’t see how a wiki link to “The Electoral College” even begins to explain this infograph, and I think it’s weird that you think it does.

Electoral votes are winner take all with the exception of Maine and Nebraska. With that in mind there should only be a maximum of 4 colors for all of these maps. Since they are using shades we are led to believe that it is a proportion of population. If it is in fact using electoral college votes than these maps highly manipulative.

The details are basically unreadable from how shitty this version of the infograph is. From what I can tell there’s 4 different legends that are unique to each map. The colors, at least according to what I can read on the legend, only convey what each state is named and how many electoral votes each state has. That may not be the case, but it’s impossible to tell since it’s basically unreadable. The legends also appear to be different on the last map than they are on the first 3 maps. Again, I can’t tell exactly because it’s basically unreadable on every map.

There’s no way to tell what the hell the data means other than someone pasting big bold titles. The fact that the titles don’t appear to be displayed consistently and they cut out a dropdown on the left seems weird as hell. I have no way of telling what those selections were even within the tool they were using. Which seems like an odd bit of information to exclude.

Which brings me back to the most important point, there’s no readable citation. All of these are cleared up with a citation to a source. The data could in fact be genuinely displaying what it’s made out to convey, but I can’t possibly tell that without looking at the source of the data, checking what/where the data came from, and then recreating these maps in whatever tool they used. A citation would at least be step 1 to make this infograph anything other than weird propaganda.

This… this one?

This is such a terrible thing to say in a thread about a propaganda campaign to cover up a genocide. If I was more conspiracy minded I’d start to think it was a planned effort to distract from the topic at hand considering how often it comes up in these sorts of threads.

Unfortunately, I actually think it’s just some asshole that wants to feel superior. Since that’s probably the case, I’m also pretty sure you’d label like half the midwest as Texas, and probably think that a trip to New York is just a quick 30 minute drive for people in Florida.

So now that we’ve gotten our trite digs in on one another can we focus on the matter at hand? Cause I seriously doubt that the people being genocided give two fucks about this conversation.

Always has been. The flag they fly wasn’t even the Confederate States flag, but a made up amalgamation resurrected in 1948 by the Dixiecrats to opposed Civil Rights. All modern bullshit about the Confederacy is rooted in some post reconstruction era racist asshole trying to bring back the Confederacy for some other racist ass motivations.

Never trust any racist ass inbred fuckwit when they say, “Heritage not hate” because that flag is solely based on hate. So was the confederacy for that matter. Now excuse me while I got back to writing petitions to get Confederate statues replaced with statues of John Brown.

I think at 120GB that is the with media version. You can also get a medialess version as well. There’s a wiki for how to download wikipedia if you want more info:

This is borderline as ill informed as the people that didn’t know he dropped out at all…

I recieve 15+ phone calls and like 5-10 postcards a day. It’s annoying as the ever living fuck after about a week. In fact, it has made me quite miserable and it makes my blood pressure go up when the phone rings. It gets compounded by the fact that I really need to answer my phone for my job. I have stopped politely telling them to not call, and to add me to the do not call list, and have become really rude.

Like you, I have already voted by mail. You aren’t going to change anything by calling me at this point, nor would you have ever. I mean the choices in this election are a self-aggrandizing lunatic who wants to abolish the Constitution and normal politician. Do they think this is how you sway people? Via a harassment campaign? I just don’t understand…

Friendly reminder that Ted Nugent shit his pants and didn’t bathe in order to dodge the draft.

Why would you need to defend yourself for ordering a pizza and being shocked by the high price? Sometimes I think I’ve gotten too old for the internet. People should be allowed to order a pizza every once in a while and not have to formulate a 5 point list of the reasons why it’s okay for them to order pizza.

Fixed. Thanks!

I imagine you sitting there like Scotty, “Give me an ip address, not no colon, not no hexadecimal, and not no bloody double colon. Just 4 numbers between 0 and 255 with a dot in between.”

I swear it’s going to be a generational change where it takes a slow adoption by the younger network people as the older network people slowly retire. Kind of like how racism and sexism has diminished. It wasn’t like we changed anyone’s mind, just that people held onto it until they died and younger people just said, “The future is now, old man.” and moved past it.

Look I’m not saying you’re wrong or anything just that I really don’t appreciate you stalking me.

At least you didn’t pull upwards like I did. Glad the ceiling was there or it could’ve been much worse.

Sure as well as every other social media platform since the inception of the internet. I remember seeing Flat Earth insanity on myspace, digg, and even fark. But no one runs around and claims flat earth was popularized on those sites. What they’re saying above isn’t based in reality unless you’re willing to say the same about every single social media platform.

Damn 4chan existed in 1956 when the Flat Earth Society was started? Is there anything 4channers won’t try to take credit for?
