  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Unless the polls…

Gonna stop ya there champ. This is where you made a mistake.

Pols aren’t facts.

Didn’t bother reading the rest. You’re stating an opinion based on polling. You have no idea what you’re talking about here.

I mean for you, it seems like facts aren't facts. You are literally refusing to participate in a shared reality.

I don’t participate in bullshit predictions by people who have zero credentials to accurately make predictions.

Fee free to continue stating opinions as fact, and I’ll continue to call you out for it as I’ve done here.

I’m not entering a back and forth with you on this.

Yeah I got it from previous comment. No need to repeat yourself. You live in a world of personal fantasy disconnected from any kind of objective reality where we would have to just "agree" on some verifiable facts, like the results of a poll.
