minus-squarebobburger@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·7 days agoWhat is 0.5 rounded up to the nearest whole number then?
minus-square14th_cylon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·7 days agoWhat does it have to do with 48% presented as more than 50?

minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down4·7 days agoOne exception proves the rule. :) But Florida is gonna Florida. There’s no question who they’re voting for. It everyone else we need to worry about.
minus-square14th_cylon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down2·7 days ago One exception proves the rule. :) No, it doesn’t.
