Don't forget the shire.

led by British media personality Andrew Doyle

The course’s reading list includes Doyle's own books

So this is just state-sanctioned propaganda from some random guy

Maybe they should pay the crazy dude in the street corner who's shouting about the end of the world to give a course as well

I wonder if Doyle is even going to give an actual definition of the term 'woke'

Eugh. Raw face is just gross.

He's also just explicitly said that he wants to be a dictator, but that apparently isn't a turn-off for much of his base, and in fact many of them see it as a positive: https://apnews.com/article/trump-hannity-dictator-authoritarian-presidential-election-f27e7e9d7c13fabbe3ae7dd7f1235c72

I always round up the price when I see $X.99 but my grandmother always rounds it down and it pisses me off

They're trying to fool you! Don't be a sheep!!!

Money is fake, scarcity is manufactured, capitalism is a scam

Unfortunately a lot of people have bought into the scam...

I was actually wondering how the gender gap changed in this election, and it wasn't at all what I was expecting:

According to exit polls by CNN Trump gained +2% of the male vote, and +5% of the female vote compared to 2020 - though women were still more likely to support Harris, of course.

An analysis by the AP found similar results, with the support from men under 45 increasing +7%, and women under 45 +6%, while for older men it decreased -1%, and for older women stayed the same.

Surprisingly, Trump's support among racial minority groups increased while white and older Americans increased support for Harris.

After thorough analysis and much thought I have ultimately concluded that I have absolutely no fucking clue what is going on with American politics.

There's also the problem that if the polls are crap, the results of the model will also be crap, regardless of how accurate the model is. It's similar to how publication bias affects meta-analyses. Several analysts have already argued that pollsters are unlikely to underestimate Trump again, and may in fact over-correct and underestimate Harris much like how they underestimated dems in 2022:

Honestly I'm not surprised considering California politicians seem to have a knack for making money disappear into thin air with magic (corruption): https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/gavin-newsom-homeless-money-budget-b2544347.html

Started my psychology course this year and to be perfectly honest the more I hear about psychoanalysis the more it just sounds like a bunch of bullshit made up by some horny guy who was full of himself
