Of course, there is no reason to suggest that a political party can’t be good or bad, only that it’s not a necessity

If Fediverse users don’t even agree on whether instances are important or just an implementation detail, how could a new user know?

Software devs already do this IRL

AI will (and already can) “solve” global warming by summarizing the solutions that we already know are effective but refuse to implement

The call(er) was coming from inside the house?

We just recognized the comment it should’ve been a reply to and acted accordingly. All is going well

actually decent men are aware that they are complicit by their very existence as men under the patriarchy

Could you fucking imagine saying this about any other group of people

I don’t think that slogan communicates what you’re saying here well, if at all

We need this for sure

Don’t they already have a stockpile from last time?

These people need to be banned from doing this lmao

Sorry, I think you need to brush up on statistics. The relevant measurement here would be the variance (Variation? Variability? Whatever the term is officially called) in the relevant statistic, not the size of the statistic itself. Using the variance and previous average of the deaths per capita statistic, you can calculate the likelihood of the current deaths per capita having this value compared to the past values. If that likelihood is sufficiently low (for most scientific fields, 5% or less), the result is declared significant, since it’s different than what we would expect it to be if nothing had changed, and we can say that with a high (>95%) confidence. To learn more about this “predict the chance of the result being within normal bounds and then go “whoa that’s weird” when it’s not” method, look up “null hypothesis”, or even better “statistical significance”.

To give a practical example: The number or deaths from car accidents is fairly low per capita, but since we have a very large amount of data available, it has a low variance and we can predict and calculate the ratio very accurately. If you look up a graph of car deaths per capita over time, each year will only have a ratio of like 0.001%, but the variance between years will not be very high, because we have so much data that the little bits of randomness all even out. We can then look at, for example, car deaths per capita for streets with crosswalks vs without crosswalks, and even though they’ll both be a fraction of a percent, because they’re both measured so accurately we can make confident assessments of that data.

Finally got some medical stuff sorted out. Also been working on my weight. I finished replayingg the original Kingdom Hearts on PS2 purely for my own enjoyment, which was fun, but I think that was last month.

Even if you were right and this were relevant, this would not be a statistical anomaly, it would be a methodology failure

Medic mains when their “useless” ubersaw crits for the 12th time in a row

“It’s not a feature, it’s a bug”

I get it. The world needs some hope again, it all feels so bleak right now.

You’re acting like that’s the only policy point that exists. There are meaningful differences in other areas. I don’t have enough non-propagandized information to argue for sure that there are differences in the middle east war department, but the parties certainly aren’t the same on all war-related matters (see Ukraine/Russia as an example). Their rhetoric is different for the middle east but again I can’t speak for their actions. And obviously their non-war policies are drastically different.
