  • [...] the percentage of trans people in the US between 1999 and now would've been on an upward trajectory [...]

    A larger fraction of the population in most western countries are certainly openly trans now, than were in 1999. But I don't know about all trans people, I think the fraction has stayed the same, but coming out has become easier (I'm not saying that it's easy, I'm saying that I believe that it's easier than in 1999)

    But let's assume that you're right, and fewer people used to be trans compared to the population size. That would mean fewer expected school shootings by trans people. Which could explain how the expected interval in my calculations is 2-7 shooters while we've only seen one. Once again confirming that trans people are just people.

  • Base load isn't really a thing.

    How do you figure that?

    This is the problem with pro nuclear. There isn't an understanding of the issue.

    Is this an attempt at insult? If you believe that I have misunderstood something, then please enlighten me.

    Lets not talk about reaction time of fission plants.

    Agreed, let's leave that out of the equation, as then the only viable backup to solar and vind, using current technology, is burning stuff.

  • According the "hustler's university 4.0" website you can get in for as little as 49USD (which is a steal, when the posted before price is 147USD)

    Imagine scamming 8x10^5 for just 50USD each, I mean it's not like a considerable criminal investigation will get started for 50 bucks, but the chinless douche is walking away with 40million, from that scam alone. And I'll bet that there will be special courses with an additional charge, as well as merch and PPV webinars. Safe to say it's not just 40million Tate has scammed kids for.

  • With trans people making up 0.5-1.6% of the US population, wouldn't it be strange if not a single school shooter was trans?

    That question lead me down a rabbit hole: There have been 417 school shootings since Columbine in 1999 https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/interactive/school-shootings-database/

    I don't have statistics on the number of school shootings perpetrated by multiple people. But I suspect that it's a miniscule number. So I'm going to go with 417 individuals carrying out acts counted as school shootings. And not to try to be John Oliver or something, but what counts as a school shooting may be as little as this numbnuts who shot them self in the leg in a high school parking lot https://www.wptv.com/news/region-the-glades/belle-glade/lockdown-lifted-at-glades-central-high-school-following-shooting.

    0.5% of 417 is 2.1 and 1.6% is 6.7.

    Meaning that somewhere between 2 and 7 trans school shooters would indicate that trans people are just as likely as cis people to carry out school shootings. That only a single shooter has been trans, may not be statistically significant, as we're dealing with integers and it's pretty darn close.

    So I'm left to conclude that being trans isn't significant in being a school shooter. Trans people may just be as fucked up as the rest of us.

    What I'm more interested in is how the trans man in Nashville in 2023 would have counted, if this statistic didn't only cover until 2022 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1463155/active-shooters-us-schools-by-gender/

  • Some of the recent Cisco security flaws are just so brain-dead stupid you wonder if they have any internal quality control at all

    At the super budget prices Cisco charges, do you really expect quality control to be included? You've got to buy a quality control subscription for that. /s

  • Edit. Lol people downvoting in ignorance. Classic.

    Firstly, bitching about downvotes is tacky. So tacky that even on reddit it was frowned upon.

    Secondly, in ignorance? Well it's either that or because you seem to believe that every 20yo that can afford to travel is a privileged douce. Take your pick, it really doesn't matter to anyone else what you believe.

  • Lead Paint Girl and Asbestos Boy were just here!

    "Lead Paint Girl" ?!? You can't call someone that! Lead is heavy and causes mental retardation (I'm sorry if that word offends you, it's the literal translation of the diagnosis in my language)... Anyway, calling people "lead paint person" indicates that they're both heavy and idiots.

    So with no further ado, let me introduce to you, the next president of the United States of America:

    Donald "The Lead Paint President" Trump

    It could be abbreviated as LPP. Alternative uses of the abbreviation, could revolve around pronouncing the letters PP, and substituting the L with words like "Little", "Leaky" or "Leprous". Finding better words starting with L may be a fun game to play with your friends, when you're hiding in the hidden part of your basement, while armed right wing nut jobs go hunting for libs in the 2028 election.

  • Better get used to it, what someone says doesn't matter anymore, what you can make people believe was said, and how outraged that will make them, is all that matters.

    I'm not saying that I'm endorsing it, but I do think my statement is pretty precise... But also it tries to exploit the phenomenon, to outrage you dear reader into taking action.

  • proton is literally cia. they are modern cryptoAG

    [citation needed]

    I'm not saying that it's BS. I'm asking as someone who's on the brink of dropping 300€ on a year of "proton family". I'd like more than an unsubstantiated "they're crap" claim before making my decision.

  • Constrictive criticism

    Freudian slip? But hey if that's what you're into then good for you 😉

    Otherwise? Yeah, come on, don't settle for shit sex, if you can teach your partner to be better then why not? Don't be too afraid to say something.
