I know he says it’s pronounced “jif”, but I just don’t care. It’s like “gift” without the t

Judging by how many hours I’ve logged, Civ 6

I guess it depends how much you like your job/employer. It’s clear that the added time with your family is a really high value, which I can strongly relate to.

If you really want to keep the job, maybe when it really comes down to it, you could compromise and do one day /week.

This is the greatest website I’ve seen since zombo.com

1. Because they think they know better than poor people.
2. Because they manipulate poor people.

You know it’s just bots right?

This happens to me sometimes too! Very wierd

I’ve seen this comparison many times and it does nothing to help my understanding of the fediverse. I have no idea how email servers work.

Not to mention the study confirmed that the two groups has similar mortality before covid and before the vaccines

Sometimes the obvious answer is wrong, but there are plenty of other reasons to run this study. Advocacy is better with real numbers backing it up, there are probably similar circumstances that are less obvious that now warrant a closer look…

I think the commenter didn’t notice that the analysis controlled for age through stratification. You’re right that that confounding variable is taken care of.

That’s kind of the problem I think. I was able to find like 2 people there I want to follow. Lemmy is going to be far more successful at displacing its alternative because all the communities you’d want to subscribe to are here.

No. My other instance is WireBase.org. It’s a smaller one

Yeah I guess so. Some 2000’s internet video hosting

Vaguely heard about it on the radio on the way to high school. First period was “intro to flash animation” taught by a boomer who didn’t know we could access YouTube on our computers. Everyone was watching videos about what happened and ignoring the teacher. One kid was late and she asked “why are you late” and he was like “ there was a national emergency”

It’s type 2 fun. You don’t want to do it, but you’re glad you did when you do

Some of the most interesting parts of that book discuss this graph, and the debate among economists about whether it’s real (which is ludicrous because of course the poverty trap is real). The graph is interesting though because it shows a level of income that societies should strive to achieve for their citizens, ie the minimum you need to earn to get out of the trap. I don’t thing Esther Duflo (author) touches on it, but the extension of this theory to UBI is clear. Everyone should earn that minimum.

Thanks. I think it is possible for users to block communities one at a time! I can do it in Memmy

Glad I don’t reuse passwords.

I always wonder about this though. Are hackers really going to manually test out my password in miscellaneous sites? How would they know what sites to try? And why me along the hundreds of thousands of passwords they would have stolen with mine? Seems like that’s something they would do if they’ve targeted a particular person, not if they’ve stolen a whole dump of credentials

This is called the “poverty trap”. Here’s a great book about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_Economics
