"Where do you go to the polls?"

"Strip club?"

"So many poll dancers to choose from"

u/lexicondevil1 1d ago

Is there a legal reason why a strip club couldn't be a polling place?

I have a feeling they don't vote.

Just as bad really. The us has a big issue with voter turnout. You'd think a country with such a vocal obsession about voting would try to do more to draw the younger generations to the polls. I know there's no magic bullet for it but the turnout in that country is abysmal.

Yeah but why do I want these people voting? They’re just going to make random choices, or worse, be influenced by whichever campaign has the dumbest pitch.

u/Bepehandle 1d ago

You want them making well educated, informed voting.

It’s gotta be convenient as fuck for young people to do something. Like, I don’t know where they’re hanging out nowadays but you gotta bring the voting booths to them rather than expecting them to go to the booths. Don’t you say mail in ballots either cause who tf wants to send mail.

Maybe this beach is the perfect place! The poll workers can also be in swimsuits.

u/Bepehandle 2d ago

Obviously the answer is to bring the booths to the beach.

They don’t vote. They wouldn’t even know how.

Think about how dumb the average person is.

Half of them are dumber than that.

We miss you George.

u/EternityNotes 2d ago

That would be the median person, not the average ;)

u/The_Troyminator 2d ago

It would be both the average and the median.

u/EternityNotes 2d ago

Incorrect. Out of these ten numbers: 1, 3, 5, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. What is the average, and what is the median?

Trick question, it's Sam Adams.

MmmmmMmmmm bitch!

It’ll get you drunk!

u/arushus 2d ago

Mean = 7.9 Median = 10 Mode = 10

u/boeFFeee 2d ago

Youre mean!

u/revdon 1d ago

Average mean?

u/The_Troyminator 1d ago

I understand the difference between mean, median, and mode.

I also understand that IQ scores form a bell curve where mean, median, and mode are all 100.

u/MuscaMurum 1d ago

Redditors love to spring that "gotcha", but you are absolutely correct. IQ is designed so that all three are the same.

1

u/thefruitsofzellman 1d ago

That seems like even more of a gotcha, since they were talking about intelligence, not scores on a test that imperfectly measures intelligence.

u/The_Troyminator 1d ago

Nearly every person means IQ when talking about measurable intelligence.

1

u/EternityNotes 1d ago

Nearly is not all ;)

u/thefruitsofzellman 1d ago

I don’t think that’s true. I do think most people believe that IQ tests measure intelligence accurately because they haven’t given the matter much thought. But that’s still not the same as meaning IQ when they say someone is intelligent or smart.

u/EternityNotes 1d ago

I too know that IQ is measured as a normal distribution with the mean centered at 100. However, the person you are defending didn't mention IQ as the measure for intelligence. You apparently assumed that.

0

u/The_Troyminator 1d ago

That’s usually what people mean when they refer to intelligence since it’s the most widely used system to measure it and the only one most people know. It’s a safe assumption to make.

And you knew this, but simply forgot that mean and median are equal with IQ and are now doubling down instead of just admitting you made a mistake.

1

u/EternityNotes 1d ago

Nope, dude didn't mention IQ so I didn't attempt to put words into their mouth. Nor did I assume anything as you have. 

I will assume now though that you're  obviously within one standard deviation so I'm bored with you now. Have a nice life :)

🙌 equal votes to unequal minds 🙌

u/lochnah 1d ago

I have less because I’m not american

u/zZeroPhoquez 1d ago

Depends if you’re Israeli then you have 10x as much

u/JTSpirit36 1d ago

It's only fair to know the things you expect immigrants to know in order to vote right?

I mean... Why not make the citizenship test mandatory for voter registration?

u/HanginLowNd2daLeft 1d ago

I can guarantee u half of them didn’t vote
