i quit smoking years ago. and, i shouldn't have to go to any great lengths to prove that statement - it should be taken on face value. ...

i have not been cold turkey for a while. but, i functionally quit smoking in january, 2016, and anybody pushing back against that is just be...

i've had maybe ten cigarettes in the past ten weeks. and, i haven't bought a pack of smokes for casual, habitual use since the ...

fwiw, i have not bought a pack of smokes since i got back from toronto in mid december. i've bummed maybe 10 smokes in that period, whil...

that means that i should get inri022 up by the end of the night. i was badly distracted yesterday. we know that happens when i get cabi...

yeah, the wind chill tonight is still pretty bad, coming off the deep freeze yesterday morning. and, the change in the lineup at the psych ...

iran is an advanced society under the thumb of a brutal dictatorship. they don't need the kinds of social programs that senegal needs. w...

don't waste my time with your morality. it's bullshit.

like, i don't even want to talk to the kind of conservative idiot that would try to frame complicated social problems in terms of moral...

yes, you have to get to root causes before you can fix problems, but that's not an argument against the use of force, it's an explan...

that's an encouraging development. i can stand with this. https://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2020/02/iraq-protests-feminism-wome...

also, the turks need to immediately cease all support for the rebels in idlib, and i fully support any actions by the syrians and their russ...

this is quite different from what bernie has done in the democratic primary, which is to very purposefully distance himself from queer activ...

i feel obligated to respond to this, although i'd actually rather not. first, i'll reiterate that i'm not a supporter of just...

if you put money down on andrew yang to win the presidency, i have a bandcamp site to send you to. i think the error here is thinking this i...

this is explored in greater detail in the dawkins film 'nice guys finish first'. there's lots of examples in this primary, bu...

i suspect i'll be talking a lot about this in the upcoming weeks. if you don't know what it is.... ...and i like the advertisin...

i'm forced to live inside the system that is erected around me. but, you would find the depth of my rejection of capitalism to be s...

and, why don't i go to shows in windsor? because there aren't any. or, there aren't any worth going to, anyways. it would be far...

my focus, right now, is my art. i'm not done yet.

i am a canadian citizen and live in windsor. i just go to detroit to party, because it's the closest major city. if there was a closer c...

we have a special place in our law for indigenous groups that take direct action against groups that would infringe upon their constitutiona...

actually, the issue here in ontario is pretty cut and dry, although scheer's suggestion (and trudeau could order the rcmp in if he wante...

i need to repeat the point. if sanders is the only person that gets over 15%, he gets 100% of the delegates. so, he could in theory...

these numbers are roughly in line with what i suggested, with the open questions being how much support will flow to buttigieg from biden an...

this is tested and working on the chromebook and on firefox on the windows 7 box. what's in there, now? - the 17 songs on the record - c...

i'm done testing on windows. the chromebook testing should be relatively quick. soon....

is sanders the front-runner? right now, he is, yes. maybe he shouldn't be, and maybe he won't be next month, and maybe the fact that...

ok, so i've finally got those typos i told you about on tuesday afternoon updated. - i removed a "/p>" from the html fro...

if the demographics in new hampshire preferred klobuchar over warren, cheating or not, it's hard for me to think that the demographics ...

should i post about nevada? i have an hour and a half to blow before i turn the pc on, which i turned off early this morning to go to sleep...
›
chances are that you wouldn't last very long under a system of traditional indigenous law, and i wouldn't condemn anybody to an exi...
›
it's important to avoid treating indigenous legal traditions as a monolith, so i don't want to fall into either stereotype. the ster...
›
think of it like this: i may find myself on the same side as these conservative indigenous groups on the specific issue of pipelines, but i...
›
but, i'm not a conservative, and i don't stand with tradition or aristocracy. i'm an anarchist, and i stand with egalitaria...

i want to be clear on a point, though. while i would stand with the rights of indigenous groups to self-determination, i would not stan...

ok, so i am getting a funny item in my device manager - "unknown device". i'd never seen that before, and i've looked. i ...

we're not looking at a 30% chance, which is not bad, really. one in three. we're looking at a 0.01% chance - one in ten thousand, or...

i've been critical of his work. but, somebody ask nate silver what the probability of klobuchar running at 19.8% was, according to his d...

the common law is not a set of rules that were created by the king like the civil codes were, but is rather a set of conventions and traditi...

this isn't the first time that trudeau has used the phrase "rule of law" in this manner, and it's frankly rather dubyaesqu...

alright, i'm back up. let's hope i can get this done before the debussy show.

your delusional thinking is rooted in calvinism. and, it's bullshit.

so, when i see somebody beat their polling numbers by 10-15%, and i can't explain it using turnout, i'm going to forcefully argue th...

in the world of homo mathematicus, underdogs always lose, and only stupid people place bets on them. the caveats are that streaks always end...

i know that capitalists won't like my narrative, which is something along the lines of that nobody ever beats the odds and stories of pe...

i mean, maybe it's worth reflecting a little on how polling firms get those numbers. they don't just take a flat survey, although...

just an update on the turnout question. In New Hampshire's Democratic primary, people 45 and older made up 63 percent of voters, accor...

if you absolutely have to put somebody upstairs to try to hack into my computer over short-range radio (da fuck...), can you pick a clean pe...

i have no idea why they're doing this at all. but, talk about the worst stake-out cops, ever. i can smell them, i can hear them. i mean,...

it's more than just the smoke. she smells like she hasn't showered in quite a while; it's that stinky-ass smell that you normall...

like, he's supposed to be gone this week. but, i can smell somebody smoking upstairs, and i can hear them talking, too. it's a femal...

i can find no sign of any installed chip in this machine. i cleared the cmos, and the bios isn't picking anything up. xp isn't pick...

ok, let me get the system back up and let me finish this up. ugh.

there should be no work done in that region at all until a treaty is signed.
›
if i was the supreme court, i would tear that contract right up.

so, what would i tell the pipeline company? i'd tell them that they need to wait for this nation to sign a treaty before they can move f...

i want to be clear: i'm not saying that this nation can't join the indian act, or shouldn't, or even won't in the end. but, ...

the way that british imperial law worked, and this was brought into the common law via roman precedent because the romans were the empire th...

enforcing the indian act on unceded territory is roughly equivalent, under imperial law, to enforcing common law in quebec. this is a m...

so, the court is arguing that it's own jurisdiction stems from the indian act, and that's the point that i'd argue is wrong, be...

she had a following in conservative circles. but, she was truly reviled and despised on the left. personally, i think she was often...

there should be an injunction until the supreme court can deal with this. i haven't read the ruling directly, but let's get a few...

i might never really agree with buttigieg much on the issues. but, he would earn my infinite respect by taking hold of this opportunity to g...

for southern blacks to reject northern whites over issues of sexual and religious liberation would be a massive shot in their own foot. .......

it's not my place to present an opinion on what order the primaries in the united states should be conducted in. that's ultimately ...

what i will say though is that the decision to headhunt me actually reflects rather poorly on the institution. by the mid 00s, it should ha...

i don't have this patriotic slant that somebody like an edward snowden has; i feel no particular connection to this country, or it's...

i will not have anything to say about nevada until they publish some polls. if they decide not to publish any, that's a red flag into th...

i don't know what they ultimately want or why they're doing what they're doing. it feels exceedingly childish to me. they don...

i've been periodically concerned about illegal entry into my living spaces since about mid-2017. that's when this appears to have st...

just an update on what i think is going on: 1) it seems like my landlord is working for some kind of police agency. he's told me he...

the reason my posts are full of typos since mid-january is that i'm posting from a gmail account that i set up for travelling with, and ...

i keep that machine off the internet because i've learned that i have to. and i simply don't know what they did when i was gone, but...

what i've been doing over the last few weeks is booting into my laptop's hard drive via the production pc, specifically because i c...

so, what happened? well, i guess they must have installed some kind of wireless chip in my pc. i have to buy groceries, and i can't brin...

there's a pattern here, though. - my machine consistently crashes whenever i post something insightful here. you should take that as evi...

and, bizarrely, my hard drive just finally crashed, right when i was about to get back to work. i went out for a few hours yesterday... i...
›
it's far more likely that the pols did something wrong than that the polls were empirically wrong.
›
does it matter if klobuchar cheated in new hampshire or not? if you talk to experts on the topic, they often say things like "there ...
›
if i can get an important point across here, it's distrust of the institutions. you should have a healthy skepticism of what the state t...
›
you hear this line from politicians all of the time. "the only poll that matters is the one on election day". well, no. the pollin...

i will make this stand over and over again - when the results of an election do not make sense, i will point fingers and call for an investi...

it's not like there was a deficit of polling, either. if there was only one or two low quality polls... ...but there was lots of polling...
›
turnout in new hampshire is maybe not down by as much as it appeared to be initially. it looks like it's a little lower than 2008, but h...
›
so, what happened? yes, klobuchar got a bounce. but, the real story is that sanders couldn't get the vote out, and the bounce was exagge...
›
so, the numbers are in and klobuchar has indeed managed to stay over 19%, to my bafflement. i'm not sure if i explicitly stated it ...

guys. i'm endorsing the greens. i told you that. i am politically closest to sanders - i support universal healthcare, for example. i se...

it's interesting to me to see the order in which the data is coming in. what i've been waiting for to post is for klobuchar's...

so, after too much sleeping and too many distractions, i am actually finally done typesetting the html frontend for inri021, which is very ...
›
i think it was her poor debate performances, myself - especially her attempts to go after buttigieg, which brutally backfired. there wa...
›
i guess the obvious question is - "should this be proportional anyways, or should it be winner take all?". i mean, a lot of p...
›
so, like i said - (klobuchar, warren, biden) will be lucky to get one or two delegates, total, between the three of them. sanders will proba...

this idea that you know exactly who or what you are when you're like three years old is.... i think it's bullshit. and, i think a lo...

what i say is that i realized i was more like a girl very young, but, i don't pretend i had some kind of early childhood schizophrenia ...

i was 20 years old when i finally decided i had to deal with it somehow and took steps to transition by contacting a psychologist through th...

we all write about the things that are relevant to us in our lives. and, sex and romance and relationships have broadly not been relevant id...

actually, the truth is that the closest thing i had to any kind of sexual or romantic encounters until i was in my early 20s was a series o...

yes, it is very weird to grow up in ottawa, and have a father that was drafted by the 67s, and to have never learned how to skate. just ab...

but, i'm a socialist to my bones. and, this is the sort of thing that baffles me about capitalists. we're going to watch them d...

i actually wasn't that bad at sports when i was a kid, it's more that i wasn't very interested in playing them, i was more inte...

if you take a course in economics 101 nowadays, it's probably going to be new keynesian economic theory, and they will actually teach yo...

but, if you needed another example of the stupidity of competition...
›
even in new hampshire... sanders is going to get 30% of the vote (at most) and upwards of 50% of the delegates because the field insists on ...
›
the right lesson is this: when actors compete, everybody loses. when actors cooperate, everybody wins.

democrats are notoriously poor at understanding election math. they're going to have to figure it out somehow, or they're going to w...

this is a recent poll from california: sanders 29% warren 16% ------------------- buttigieg 14% bloomberg 13% biden 11% klobuchar 5% if that...

ok. there have been some polls released recently in south carolina, specifically, that suggest that steyer may be running higher than 15%. ...
›
if warren can't get to 10% in new hampshire, she's not going to get to it in nevada or south carolina, either. or, really, anywhere ...

so, amy klobuchar might come in third place. but, if she only gets 14% of the vote statewide, she could end up with 0 delegates - they...
