There’s always Thanksgiving dinner…
A quantitative measure of intelligence is irrelevant.
What is relevant is the sample pool. If we’re just looking at the United States, then JaneDoe is undeniably correct. If we’re looking globally, then JaneDoe’s stated percentage is quite tragically low.
Average means 50%, of course 50% are below average! That’s true of everything everywhere!
That was actually my point, but George said it so much better!
The saying should be that 50% of the population is below median intelligence, but I guess that doesn’t sound as good.
I get you’re all trying to make some amusing point, but it’s also meaningless without an actual measure. Our own experience is not enough to know what “average intelligence” really means.
But more than 50%of the population have a greater number of legs than average number of legs of the population.
This. Never mind Arizona, with about an 80,000 vote difference. Nevada has less than an 8000 difference between Biden (leading) and Trump. That’s the count to watch closely. Hopefully any remaining ballots are the mail-in sort and favour Biden. With Nevada and Arizona on board, it’s all Joe needs to hit 270.
I bet you are fun at parties 
Steve Schmidt tweeted that he thinks Biden will be president elect soon.
I’ll just throw in this line from the late, great John Prine, who died of COVID
It don’t make much sense that common sense don’t make no sense no more
This link may be paywalled - sorry- but here’s a Vanity Fair profile of Katie Miller. She’s certainly his equal in the “horrible human being” category and may even surpass him.
Yep, I have a distant cousin (who I met via Jewish genealogy - long story) who is now related to Stephen Miller because of that marriage. My cousin was one of the Jewish leaders in Pittsburgh who published the manifesto after the Tree of Life synagogue shooting telling Donald Trump to stay the hell away from Pittsburgh because he was not welcome there. Needless to say, she has been livid about the whole thing.
I haven’t felt optimistic about Georgia since early yesterday evening, but Biden is within 0.6% now.
Waiting to play Ray Charles! Geogia on my Mind would be such a great theme song to celebrate a Biden win if it is the state to end it. But probably won’t happen
NPR has Biden at 264 giving AZ to him.
CNN just reported that the counting building in Phoenix is being closed to reporters. This is likely for their own safety, as there is a protest outside. The protesters seem to be Trump supporters. There are police protecting the building. The CNN crew is formulating an exit strategy.
However, the counting continues in Phoenix. CNN said they will continue to be updated as to Arizona count totals, via press release or e-mail or similar.
Nate Cohn seems to think that PA is the state most likely to take Biden over the top. It would be amusing if after all the crazy maps mulled over during the last two days, the states that win it for Biden are the most obvious path of Wisconsin,Michigan and Pennsylvania.
75% of people in AZ are below average intelligence.
The other 25% percent are also there, but you can’t really see them well in the pics because they are socially distanced and wearing masks. They are the ones holding “Count all the Votes” signs.
This is the first time in my life that I’ve stayed drunk for over 36 hours in a row.
