the funny thing is statistics was the module i liked least in college.

I think it was the stubborn “here’s my opinion but it’s maths” bit that has broken @magicbastarder

I know this seems wildly hard for people to deal with but

I counted up numbers very roughly and there was about 3 left over and when i tried to account for it in changes it seemed to be in particular place - so i said that.

It's not my opinion that there is 3 left over. If it said there was 150% left over and it was clearly a PBP landslide, then that would be opinion, but when you add things up and get a number, that is maths.

Correct, it is maths to say there is a different value. It was the “the numbers are different and therefore this reason because maths” that was the part that didn’t add up. Statistics are not an abstract truth, context is everything and coincidences are common - a 3% drop in one does not infer that a 3% rise in the other has happened.

To go back to your weather example, it’s like saying that it was 19 degrees yesterday in Dublin and 40 degrees in Perth and today it’s 22 degrees in Dublin and 37 degrees in Perth - those 3 degrees didn’t switch places. And that’s talking about an actually quantitative measure (degrees) versus a descriptive statistic (percentage). If you were to use percentages, it would be a 15% increase in Dublin and a 7.5% decrease in Perth. It’s all maths but not all maths is equal.

in case where the total is 100% and that was the context, 3% drop does need to be balanced by 3% somewhere else. It did add up, ye's just didn't like it or somehting

I brough the weather into to try and show ye's how nebulous ye's have gone on it.

Ok, given you’ve used a cloud pun about the weather, I’ll give you your last word.

I know a few of you know more about that part of the world than I do.
I guess if it's transcending sectarian divides, then that's good?? I don't know, I never thought I'd see that, but if you say so I'll believe you.

I would like to think so too
But I think the Unionists are becoming even more hardline - fear of extinction
BUt I am not a Nordie

‘More Fawlty Towers than Downton Abbey’: Jacob Rees-Mogg’s bid to become a reality TV star

Meet the Rees-Moggs will go behind the scenes of the ex-Tory MP’s life. The prospect of him acting like the world’s greyest-skinned Kardashian is enough to make you feel ill

Germany based friend has been taken in people claiming the "extreme left" are allowing criminals into the UK etc etc.
I am an ass-hat, apparently. It's sad to see.h

Him being Germany based, he has a unique point of view, Germany has it's own immigration/integration issues. But he's dead wrong about everything. Doesn't even realise that he's offending me.

Sorry, Sean
I have a friend I care for that is watching the US election and telling me that the only one who makes sense is Kennedy

And it hurts my heart a little

We live in possibly one of the stupidest environments on earth at this time. It's unfathomable.

Oh god, I actually had a face to face conversation with someone recently who said the same thing about Robert Kennedy Jr. When I brought up all the anti vaccine allegations, he said that was just the commie press trying to discredit him because he’s not playing big pharma’s game. And also he won several court cases to get thalidomide taken out of vaccines back in the 80s. I was doing my usual non-confrontational “are you sure that’s correct?” He was determined he was. I think he’s watched Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan interview him so he’s convinced

I’ve never being on the receiving end of a dumber lecture. Ever!

Or else we just have the ability to be exposed to stupidity in a way that wasn't possible in the last decade or two?
Twenty years ago a moon landing conspiracy theorist probably knew a handful of like minded people. Now they have online communities which bolster them.

We can blame the internet for all the braindeads connecting with each other
