Scottish Grindr users on the EU referendum

I’ve previously taken to Grindr to ask users their opinions on the Scottish independence referendum and the 2015 general election.

More recently, I’ve been asking Grindr users in and around Edinburgh whether they believe the United Kingdom should withdraw from the European Union. Here is a representative sample of the replies:

STATISTICS:

I was only able to question 327 users before Grindr moderators intervened. 151 users left some kind of response. Of these, 108 settled on a yes or no answer. 81.48% (88) would like to REMAIN in the European Union.

18.52% (20) would like to EXIT the European Union.

Other responses can be divided as follows:

10   Undecided 8     Don’t care 8     Miscellaneous evasion 6     None of my business 3     Too bewildered to answer 3     Too horny to engage politically 3     Turned out to be a spambot 2     Incomprehensible

(This leaves 38 users who presumably blocked me by the time the results were counted. Any responses they may have given are not counted here.) In conclusion, Scottish Grindr users are overwhelmingly against leaving the European Union. With it looking increasingly doubtful that such a comfortable victory for remainers will be reflected in the broader United Kingdom’s vote in the upcoming referendum, Grindr may have to consider declaring itself an independent nation to remain in the EU.

Yeah, the doctors ran some blood work and discovered I was actually the Thing all along. No, I don't know if my insurance will cover it

it’s really interesting to me how so many of the major late 20th century mafia films carve out a place in their narrative to establish the relationship jewish people have with the italian mafia—almost seeming to expand on the incidental but established presence of jewish characters in the godfather films—and each story establishes it wildly differently. in goodfellas (1990), for instance, its jewish characters exist entirely outside of the organized crime world and keep their distance, either looking down on or fetishizing the italian-americans who engage in it. the jewish protagonist of casino (1995), by contrast, is sort of passively swept up into the italian mafia, and although he faces strong prejudice from both inside and outside the mafia, he does his job calmly and to the best of his ability without any real connection to the romance of mafioso life. the opposite is true in miller’s crossing (1990) (the only one of these movies with jewish directors), in which its jewish characters dart in and out of the world of organized crime to get high on the adrenaline of the lifestyle, both betraying everyone and being betrayed by everyone in an effort to smash and grab the experience of a world they aren’t welcome in. and of course the earliest of these films, once upon a time in america (1984), is entirely about the world of organized crime in the nyc jewish community at the same time as these other films, with the gang in question facing very similar experiences to as well as interacting with their italian counterparts. although i can’t say for sure that this discussion was a priority for the directors of these films, it certainly seems that way, and the way each of these films clearly innovates its presentation rather than allowing the role of the jewish character in the mafia movie to calcify into stereotype is very fascinating to me
