Questions work better at getting answers…

But here’s one for the road:

Duke, along with colleagues, compared heart attack rates during the week of DST — both spring and fall — with the weeks immediately before and after. In the spring, 28,678 patients (17.0%) were treated for AMI during the DST week, compared to 28,596 (16.9%) the week before and 28,169 (16.7%) the week after.

If the change happens the first day, including days before and after would dilute the effect

Which is why this is the one study that didnt find it. Except they did find it, it was just diluted by looking at a longer time than necessary…

If you have more questions, you won’t get answers from me tho, be happy you got that one.

Sounds a lot like antivacxers screeching everyone gets chickenpox…

Not as much as you think.

It wasn’t until graduate level statistics until we got into how to tear down bad stats as part of understanding how to make good stats.

Like, even for people who took regular college level statistical analysis, the hardest part of it is still keeping you bias out.

Teach a bunch of high schoolers stats, and they’re gonna think they’re smarter than a gambling app. That leads to more people trying it, and naturally more people getting hooked.

You’re thinking of it as innoculation when it’s more like the first hit for free…

Quick edit:

It’s like how med students think they know more than every doctor they’ve ever seen and diagnosis themselves with a bunch of shit

A little bit of knowledge mixed with teenage confidence and an undeveloped brain doesn’t always result in a positive.

So with something as addictive as gambling, the best way to decrease it is to limit or avoid exposure to gambling until mid 20s when the brain is more likely to be developed.

Federation is spotty

It may be gone where you post it, but might still be visible from a different instance

It’s not about birds, go spend time in nature paying attention to similar things and categorizing them and you’ll get the same benefits.

It’s exercising the brain while getting fresh air and physical exercise

What?

Thing 1 is bad, thing 2 is worse.

Being raised by the worst parents is bad, being raised by ai is worse.

Being paralyzed from the waist down is bad, being paralyzed from the neck down is worse

I picked what I thought would be the clearest comparison of “undeniably bad” and “undeniably worse”. So I’m honestly impressed someone got confused enough to get offended.

Now imagine how much worse those kids would be if just raised by AI.

This is like if someone said being paralyzed from the neck down was worse than being paralyzed from the waste down, so you say look at all these people paralyzed from the waist down…

Nah, even a shit parent is better than chatbots

Take your pick.

The reality is that gas station profit margins on fuel are famously thin. After accounting for the wholesale cost of gasoline, taxes, and credit card processing fees (which can be a significant percentage of the transaction), the net profit on a gallon of gas can be just a few cents. This makes relying on fuel sales alone a risky proposition. The market is volatile, and a small swing in wholesale prices can wipe out your already slim margins.

The shift kills people tho…

Literally, a shit ton of heart attacks happen because people’s schedule changes all of a sudden. No, those would likely happen in the following months anyways, but them all happening at the same time overloads our medical system even when staffing is adjusted for it.

They already don’t make money off gas

Their profits are the stuff in the store, the excuse people have for overpaying is that they’re already there.

We’ll see a lot close, and the ones that remain grow to be basic conscience stores.

They’ll still have the gas pumps, because it’s expensive to remove them. But new builds will likely just be parking lots instead of pumps.

The old stations would be what people have to rely on.

As such the ones on the outskirts would be the ones that close first.

Last gas stations will be in downtown areas where getting rid of 60 year old pumps wouldn’t gain anymore parking than people parking at the pumps.

Shit man, I tried…

Those aren’t “articles” there’s like a paragraph, and then a shit ton of pictures with text.

Fucking got my hopes up and everything, I’m gonna remember this one for April Fool’s though. Right up until you scroll down the first time it’s super convincing that it’s back.

Cracked in it’s prime was fucking amazing.

Like, it’s the type of “just stay here” website everyone keeps trying to make.

On any random day they’d post like an article every 15 minutes. No matter when you needed to kill 15-30 there was something funny and usually informative.

There was probably 5 years straight I didn’t poop without reading an article on Cracked.

There’s no other quality stream of content like that since.

low empathy is a cognitive issue one cannot help

Nope, even without ASPD empathy is a learned skill that has to be developed. And someone with a totally broken oxytocin system can still conciously be empathetic with effort. I literally do it every day.

I do not need empathy to care for people.

Literally what empathy means…

No…

The first amendment protects against censorship by the American government, ideally at least.

Private companies can and do censor shit constantly, and that is definitely censorship.

You’ve just seen people repeat it about the first amendment, didn’t understand it, and are attempting and failing to regurgitate it

And if people see you using it wrong, they’ll start off from an even worse position.

All you’re doing is exacerbating the problem you think your fixing.

AI is the logical conclusion to McKinsey analysts…

Why pay a “coming soon ceo” to tell you to fuck over workers and raise CEO pay when you can program a computer to do it?

If it doesn’t tell them what they want to hear, it means it needs “tweaked” if it tells them their pre-existing opinion is right, then it’s not their idea anymore and the AI is to blame when it backfires.

The goal isn’t to treat addiction.

It’s to repress urges to make their followers frustrated, angry, and willing to overthrow modern society…

It’s not a new tactic. But it’s hard to convince young men to stop jacking off.

It’s weird to see people still think taller = healthier when we have decades of research showing that’s almost always the opposite.

Like, you need proper nutrition to grow to max height, but that’s different for everyone and once you crack 6 feet there’s a bunch of random issues, even significantly higher cancer rates just because there’s more of you for solar radiation to travel thru.

But mostly biomechanical issues because just increasing the size of everything x% across the board doesn’t work. Eventually it fails or wed have evolved to all look like Andre the Giant by now.

Everyone always just thinks about a five minute interaction between a bigger and smaller caveman, but there’s more that goes into evolution and successfully passing on genes long term than winning a 2 minute fist fight.

There are a few countries out there that people love to hate

This whole post seems like you’re intentionally not saying a country because everyone would agree it’s a right-wing authoritarian government with no internal press freedoms and a population in updated with propaganda whose Internet is sanctioned as a result of human rights abuses by their government…

Like, most people don’t just “love to hate” random countries, and most people who complain about “haters” won’t acknowledge any of their own flaws

So…

What countries are you actually talking about?
