These electoral results are absolutely hilarious.
Honestly, this might be the best thing that could have happened. Perhaps THIS TIME (UNLIKE THE LAST TIME WE HAD A "HISTORIC AND UNUSUAL" HUNG PARLIAMENT A WHOLE SEVEN YEARS AGO) we can have a serious discussion about electoral reform.
I'm glad that the Tories didn't get the gigantic majority that I once wanted them to have, because it means May can't get any of her more pantomime villain policies through. I'm also glad that Corbyn doesn't have the mandate to deliver ISLAMIC GOMMUNISM.
Really, I only have two regrets from this process:
#1: Brexit. This is the most important issue in British peacetime politics for the last several centuries, and it'll be the most important in my lifetime. No clear majority government means a weak and uncertain negotiating position.
#2: UKIP. They lost their way somewhat after OUR NIGE left, but to anyone who still paid attention to them, they eventually came right. UKIP's manifesto was positive and, while a little unsound, reflected "common sense values" (this does not translate to "meme ancap values") best of all the parties. And yet they've been abandoned. That makes me really, really sad.
My main worry is that politics is heading further into the era of wacky, dogmatic ideology ("durr marx" vs "ABOLISH ALL GOVERNMENT" vs "muh social justice" vs... well, Islam.) My worry is that ordinary people will be forgotten yet again.

@thatbrickster @animeirl you really think someone would do that? just publish in a journal and tell lies?
-
@animeirl @thatbrickster same can be said with people going on the internet and telling lies

Dear Ms. @animeirl,
I've looked through your post on 9 June 2017 on "the internet isn't peer reviewed" and I think it's super! Just a few parts you have to change and you're good to go:
1. Proper grammar and punctuation would be great in increasing the legibility and authority of the piece, e.g. capitalizing the start of the sentence, proper nouns such as "Internet", and a period at the end of the sentence.
2. This needs more references. You might want to cite sources such as Wikipedia on the subject of peer reviewing so that your readers will be able to understand what exactly peer reviewing is.
That's all! Once you've made those changes your post will be ready for dissemination across the network. Good luck!
Cheers,
@hakui

@animeirl @thatbrickster both aren't infallible, the internet obviously so but neither is academia

@animeirl @thatbrickster >most surveys and studies only looked at men and women doing the same job
that's how you do comparisons in the first place though? else i could say there's a college gpa gap between men and women because there's less male enrollment nowadays and hence women have more gpa points in total. there needs to be a basis and bringing multiple variables into the same data set isn't a good way to go about trying to be convincing
-
@animeirl @thatbrickster i don't remember much from the study results but if it showed that the sample was from people doing the same job scopes putting in the same hours and there was still a gap i'd have taken note of it i think
-
@eris @thatbrickster @animeirl though a 7 percent gap is pretty huge once you get to the 6 digit pay range
-
@eris @thatbrickster @animeirl still, the topic right now is "is there a gap between lawyers doing the same job and putting in the same hours", and if there is then i stand corrected
-
@existentialbro @eris @thatbrickster @animeirl the world needs better ideologies in general
-
@eris @thatbrickster @animeirl note that i'm only corrected about lawyers
that said, i wonder how it'd be like in the uk if you only sample male barristers with lousy clerks and female barristers with pretty good clerks
-
@animeirl @thatbrickster maybe!
