Replace “men” with just about any protected class, and this statistic with another one that reflezcts comparably on that group.

I know I’m bad at a lot of things… It only takes practice and hard work to tell if I can develop beyond that.

Even then, “tough guy” culture includes “tough guy” tattoos, and cop is one of the top “tough guy” jobs, so there’s a strong correlation there.

Note the subtle bait-and-switch between the post and the study. The post says “firearms violence” but the study says firearms deaths. The post says “among children” but the study says “among children and adolescents” which they choose to include 19-year-olds.

This study jumped on a particularly unusual year and was very careful to bucket the demographics and causes of death to produce a desired impression that is not consistent with reality.

I’m gonna have to disagree with you here. 18- and 19-year-olds are still teens. say what you will about being adults, but semantically (if nothing else) they are still teens.

I complain about saturation representation and you reply with a hue-lightness flag. Smh my head.

Yeah, this flag only shows saturated hues. This is unsaturated erasure.

Be mindful: this is a common cop trick to manufacture consent.

That’s true, but children are like little predators waiting for anything to make your life miserable. The first time a teacher stumbles on your name, that’s your entire identity for YEARS. How happy are you going to be with your name after that?

I have never heard the name before.

There’s your sign. The other is whether 95% of people can confidently pronounce it correctly up on reading it.

A nocebo effect is one in which a patient has an adverse reaction based on their preconceived notion of a placebo being harmful.

There’s a lot of complicated forces at play, and this isn’t in my particular field of expertise, but inflation is basically when the supply of money increases, but the actual supply of things money can buy doesnt keep up.

Think of an (extremely oversimplified) economy: one person farms, and another person raises cattle. They’ve agreed to use red rocks to symbolize trades, due to the fact that the rancher can work all year, but the farmer only provides produce with the harvest seasons.

One year, each person finds an extra cache of red rocks, but the extra currency doesn’t actually allow either individual to farm or ranch any more. Each one knows that the rocks are more plentiful, and so less valuable. The rancher expects more rocks for his meat, because he knows he’ll need more rocks to buy produce.

The two main ways that currency is created (again, within my limited knowledge) is through minting and fractional reserve banking. There’s plenty of explanations for either, so I’ll gloss over. On the other hand, inflation can occur if production decreases, or even fails to increase as fast as expected.

What? A dick?

When you were partying

I read the fucking manual.

When you were having premarital sex

I mastered reading the fucking manual.

While you wasted your days at the gym in pursuit of vanity

I cultivated READ THE FUCKING MANUAL.

And now that the world is on fire and the barbarians are at the gate you have the audacity to come to me for help?
