because having a dumb white name won’t make employers throw your resume in the trash

When I voted for her in the general, I was moved to tears. Actual real tears. It was the first time I voted for any woman in the presidential election.

🎶 Just another dick and a wall 🎶

I WAS FUCKING EXCITED!!!

SAME. So much same.

Ditto.

It could’ve been you, Hill. I will never stop being sad.

I casually knew Ivanka Trump for several years. Her target audience is almost exclusively other people who were born on third base and think they hit a triple.

I think most people don’t know how to read those numbers. They think it means that Hillary was going to capture 70% of the vote, when it actually means in the models of possible outcomes they ran she wins 70% of the time. That still means Trump won 30% of those models. Those weren’t long odds at all. He also wrote an…

Off topic, but that point has irritated me like no other. All the others basically said no chance of loss, but 538 gets mocked for modeling the just under 1/3 chance that trump became president.

She advises women to be authentic in the workplace while refraining from oversharing, to negotiate salaries, and to use periods of unemployment to reflect on their goals. (She also recommends that you hire three recruiters to secure a new position.)

but this map literally says that somewhere between 1 out of every 3 outcomes and 1 out of every 4 has trump winning? and they actually covered how he had a pretty decent chance of winning the EC while losing the popular? I’m definitely not on board the “Nate Silver is a stats god” train but I really wish people didn’t…

But they didn’t really miss. 538 said many, many times that the polling was potentially unreliable, and that Hillary’s margins were not at all conclusive.

And look at that not insignificant probability of Cheeto winning. Everybody blamed them for saying Trump had a chance to win leading up to Election Day, then blamed them afterwards for not predicting a win? Cmon. We are supposed to be the party of logic here.

538 probably wasn’t wrong. A 71% chance is not a 100% chance. As Nate Silver pointed out repeatedly, their models gave Trump a better chance of winning than you’d have of losing in Russian roulette. If someone handed you a revolver with only one bullet, would you feel comfortable pulling the trigger?

You know what probabilities are, right?

Hell yeah they did.

Sad how soft modern hockey players have become.
