  • Ah hell, that's how I first read it then I second guessed myself on the irony later!

  • It's May 2024 data from 2022 respondents, biased towards people willing to respond to pretty long consumer surveys. I have similar suspicions you'd see a higher % from a larger sample size or reporting from video game platform and store owners who can differentiate that better than your average consumer.

  • Whether there is another cause that is common to both events is irrelevant to the example. The example is to demonstrate the fact that while A and B are correlated, neither A causes B nor B causes A are true predicates. Just like the discovery of Pluto and autism diagnosis are correlated to start around the same year, there's no evidence of the casual link where discovering Pluto causes autism diagnosis or autism diagnosis causes Pluto discovery.

  • Network news media doesn't generally report protests unless they are bloody or have at least thousands of people per location, it gets in the way of fear mongering and ad sales.

  • Alt: picture of a projector projecting

  • Something doesn't have to exist forever to have meaning, that seems like a holdover from utopic afterlife religious indoctrination.

    We can enjoy a movie or a lunch knowing it will end, I can pursue meaning and find multiple purposes throughout a lifetime.

  • Signatures as a form of authorization I think held up the facsimile tech way past it's best by date

  • No, the opposite; it's a classic example showing that correlation doesn't necessitate causation. I was just playing with the phrasing to imply the humorous inverse that there is a casual link.

  • Coast to Coast AM was fun to listen to before the 2010s

  • They should stream it live like all court hearings and trials and SC deliberations should be for transparency (except for jury deliberations)

  • Shark attacks cause ice cream sales

  • Some games are Skinner box slot machine dopamine pumps and stores with games attached, some are art, and everything else is somewhere in between.

  • Make up your own mind based on the facts and their justifications, but the reason the rules are like that in court is because punishing people for crimes they didn't commit is injustice, even if you don't ever find the actual culprit.

  • This is it, relational databases are normalized under forms, deduplicate is usually a term used when talking about a concrete data set from data sources like a database, not the relational data model in the database itself.

  • It either ends with a NATO allied Ukraine or a nuclear armed Ukraine, the only language dictators like Putin understand is violence or the threat of violence.

  • Erasure

  • Diversity, equity, and inclusion get in the way of their nepotism and cronyism hiring. If they were hiring based on merit alone there would be no problem being transparent and publishing their hiring decisions.

  • Republican death panels killing life saving aid led by an unelected oligarch and a fascist autocrat

  • They came to tell us Betelgeuse is going to go super nova any day now

  • Peanut butter or yellow mustard are viable pretzel/chip dips
