You mean to tell me the guy who's only rich because daddy ran a emerald slave mine in apartheid South Africa isn't a good person? Never.

Not to mention there's got to be at least a handful of the people on pacific islands we screwed over with tests such as Castle Bravo left.

I mean, click a couple links and it's right there

MI: 619 PA: 693 WI: 661 All of registered voters

Using the amount of total registered voters in each respective state and a 95% CI, we get the following margins of error MI: ±3.939% PA: ±3.723% WI: ±3.811%

Depending on the exact lead (NYT only shows round percents, not specific numbers for each response), all of those are potentially within the top end of that margin of error.

Am I trying to claim that a swing from being down by ~4% to being up by ~4% means nothing and is indicative of nothing? Of course not. But man, most people really do not at all understand how statistics work, and I really wish people would stop talking out of their ass about it.

Most people have a really, really awful understanding of how statistics work.

Of course, which is why I said within reason. As long as you're making an effort to make your diet varied, I find trying to religiously track macros tends to be fairly counterproductive for most people, as it makes the whole process far more of a pain in the ass.

shrimp and tilapia are fairly cheap

This varies hugely based on location, primarily distance from the ocean. Pound for pound, beef and pork are far cheaper than basically any seafood in my region.

As long as calories in < calories out, the source of those calories matter much less (within reason). You could lose weight eating nothing but oreos and hostess snack cakes as long as calories in < calories out. Not great for you for obvious reasons, not least of which vitamin deficiencies, but you'd lose weight.

If nothing else, having to bomb your own country to keep up a war of aggression im sure doesn't exactly play too well at home

Exactly what I was thinking.

As long as you're not one of those weirdos that insist pull through sharpeners are just as good as properly sharpening it.

Most people don't need a perfectly sharp knife. Are they nice to have? Absolutely. But as long as you don't let them get dangerously dull, who cares.
