The woman who looked as if she had been constipated for three years: ‘Oh these Arabs, they still make their girls cover their faces. Oh, they’re not civilised yet,’ Little by little, she lets us see what her idea of civilisation is: a husband earning 1200 francs a month, a two room apartment, kitchen and bath, the movies every Sunday, and furniture from the Galeries Barbès for weekdays.
Notebook III (March, 1941)
Conventional wisdom says that the smaller the margin of error, the better. And it also stands to reason that the more people you survey, the smaller it gets, right? Here’s the thing, though: Modern experts “disagree fiercely” about when and if the whole margin of error thing should even be used at all. Not to mention – and hold onto your hats, because this may be a nearly inconceivable revelation coming up here – it turns out the people doing the polling can’t always be trusted.
Besides the fact that talking to a few hundred (or even thousand) knuckleheads can never be a precisely accurate representation of the beliefs of a nation of hundreds of millions, something called “biased sampling” on the part of the pollsters can further skew the results away from reality. Let’s say you want to know who “the people” consider the greatest singer of all time. And because you’re lazy and live next door to a nursing home, the only people you poll are on the closer-to-death side of 75 years old. That’s biased sampling. Also, good luck quelling the riots between the Johnny Mathis Mafia and the Tony Bennett Gang.
The “fierce debate” we mentioned earlier, over whether we should still be incorporating the margin of error into poll discussions at all, was sparked by the recent advent of online polling. Because what could be more random than asking people on the internet? Surely, surveys taken online are going to result in the most accurate outcomes possible, one argument states, so therefore the whole margin of error concept has been rendered practically moot. To which we can only make a simple counterpoint: Mountain Dew once asked people online to name one of the their new flavors, and the winner – by a landslide – was “Hitler Did Nothing Wrong.”
6 Shocking Reasons You Can’t Trust Election Predictions
If by "shocking" you mean "obvious to anyone who has taken a basic statistics course and has an ounce of common sense" then yes. And really, this isn't a new phenomenon - look at "Dewey Defeats Truman" in 1948.

This is fucked up
I need a bachelor’s degree to make around the same amount as a male high school grad makes.
If you don’t think that’s unfair I don’t know what to tell you.
Just imagine if it were broken down by ethnicity how much angrier you’d be.

This is absolutely a problem, but not the full picture, or at least not in the world of academia. My last semester of grad school I worked on a project for my university analyzing faculty salaries. What I found was that at first glance, there does appear to be a large difference in salary only comparing men and women, but if you account for other factors that can and should influence salary(highest degree, tenure status, field of study, etc.) gender is no longer a significant factor in determining salary. These results are pretty standard across institutions. I recommend looking at the UVA or UBC studies if you’re interested. So it’s not that there’s systematic sexism in salary assignment, at least not in the case of a public university. This discrepancy exists because women are more likely to work in lower paying fields than their male counterparts. Case and point: the highest paid department at my university was in the school of engineering and completely staffed by men, while the lowest paid department was in the humanities and mostly staffed by women. The challenge is getting women into these higher paying fields, specifically STEM, which often are sexist environments. Look at some of the things Tim Hunt said about female scientists last year. It’s even more difficult for women of color.

I withdrew from the world not because I had enemies, but because I had friends. Not because they did me an ill turn as is customary, but because they thought me better than I am. It was a lie I could not endure.
Notebook V (c April 1948)
Soup takes on the shape of whatever container it’s in, so how about you eat some and make it shaped like you.
this thought deeply unsettles me.
What you are is what you eat?
Netflix and chill by yourself except Netflix sucks and you’re also too depressed to give a shit to pick something out from Netflix so you just go ahead and stare vacantly into the screen for several hours while reruns of some stupid sitcom air until another day has eclipsed and you’re a little closer to the moment of pure ecstasy that will come with the end of this cartoonish nightmare that is your existence
