Yeah, I mean because that’s totally healthy. Let’s have a woman carry a child that will die before childbirth or at childbirth or closely thereafter childbirth, because THAT is what is best for the fetus. Also, God and blah blah blah.

It’s been months of hate and weeks since he won I think it’s time for the deadspin writers to let it all go
This! I’d pay good money for an app that tracked custody time with my kids, but I haven’t been able to find one.
There’s lots of scientific research showing the benefits of diversity, if you bothered to educate yourself.
Diversity? You mean, like, non-Stanford graduates?
“That’s been around forever. If you keep reporting on it, it’s going to grow like a cancer,” Paula said. “If you forget about it, it’s probably going to go away. The media has to hop on everything and it’s wrong.”

(Bonus points for anyone who guesses what all of those people have in common!)
The people in my life who were Bernie bros or other third-partiers and spent the last year DRAGGING hillary and then either didn’t vote for her when it counted or else smugly confessed to holding their noses and voting for her are now all upset and panicking and it makes me want to fucking scream.
It’s about as tone-deaf as all of their pieces about Nat a Silver being full of shit because his predictive model gave a Trump only a 25% chance of winning the election. He didn’t predict a 0% chance of Trump winning; the model suggested that of the poll data and demographic data were correct, it would be unlikely…
We call that Freedom Foam.
Having a child come out to you as transgender can set your world reeling. Ask me, I know. But I can’t imagine never wanting to support my child in being the best human being they can be. It was that way before I knew, it is that way now.
It’s weird how people are critical of this. Like if he had said there was an over 50% chance of Trump winning he would have been “right,” but because it was lower he’s wrong. That’s not how probabilities work.
The people that are still whining about Silver are the worst. He was one of the most accurate of those who does this sort of thing by a long shot. He constantly talked about how Trump had a really real shot at winning but the idea of tearing someone down is too much for some people I guess.
Why is this so hard to understand? He’s clearly predicting a Clinton win, with hedges, and a margin of error. These hedges make him honest, and America would do well if more statisticians explained this concept.
haha holy shit, what you’re looking for is an oracle, not a statistician.
Statistics, mo****fu****, do you speak it?
MATH IS HARD for bloggers.
