    Strawman centrists are drawn as people who think the right choice between genocide and peace is only-killing half. This is obviously nonsense, yet you’ll see it a lot even in this thread.

    A proper centralist is someone that disposes with political tribalism and instead chooses their position on issues individually. Sometimes they’ll agree with one party, sometimes another. It depends who has the better policy. They believe that no party has all the answers.

    I would say that if everybody did this it would be fantastic.

    However, they are rarer that rocking horse shit.

    Of course, but this is a 6? year old. Read the question as a child would.

    Put the following words in alphabetical order

    All fine, but if they don’t know the word “alphabetical” the clarification is…

    (The order they come in the alphabet)

    Confusing. “They” refers to the words and alphabet contains letters. If it had been “dictionary” and not “alphabet” then that would be clear.









  • I think, at best, it shows that the observations are consistent with the model, or to take it back to the blurry low light photo… The photo wasn’t obviously not Trump.

    I remember reading the original paper at the time and thinking, if I had been a reviewer I’d have wanted clear acknowledgement of the confirmation bias danger in the methodology. Ideally some sort of quantification of risk. It just seemed like too large a flaw to just be glossed over.
