#US Specific statistics

[chronicallycouchbound]

Almost twice as many people died from COVID-19 in 2021 than all unintentional accidents. COVID-19 is the third leading cause of death. COVID rates are on the rise.

The least you can do is wear a mask.

now im......not jewish, and not well educated on this subject so im not sure about how to talk about it myself, but this has been picking at my mind so......can anyone tell me if this is antisemitic or not?

oh and let me just say, the original anon this person is responding to didn't mention america or living in america AT ALL. the conversation was suddenly changed to be about the us, which is the center of the world obviously (/sar), with this additional comment

im not informed enough to combat this, though this post did NOT give me a good feeling while reading it

#also this not me asking if antizionism is antisemitism it's me asking if these specific arguments are antisemitic #i/p #israel/palestine #um how do I tag this #anti zionisim #i/p conflict #jewish #judaism #tw antisemitism #antisemitism #sorry i know I have jewish followers so im trying to make sure you don't have to see it if you don't want to #might delete later #im just looking to be informed by someone who knows more bc while I'm really raising my brow at it #I don't have the ability to really point out what's happening here #I've seen people pull statistics out of their ass before or use them in a way that's misleading so #“jews are the most loved and successful and rich religious group in america” just screams antisemitism

Anyone good at data analysis pls give me tips on how to explain the process for an interview bc literally I black out for 6 hours and when I come to the analysis is done and I don't remember how I did anything. This is not something interviewers want to hear.

#wrenfea.exe #my methods are also specific to the language/program im using to analyze the data #so when they ask what my process is my brain gets overwhelmed #it doesn't help that im very rusty on the programming front #i have been relearning R but not fast enough #natural science #scienceblr #datascience #data analysis #also i have bad experiences with statistics as i had an extremely ableist professor #if you have any videos or book reccs pls feel free to link them #i already have statistics for the terrified biologist

maybe i SHOULD just try to get a different job that would be better suited to me

#only i'd feel bad after such a short time because they provided me with a uniform and everything and it's clear that they're short-staffed #at the moment and everyone WAS really nice. it was just that i somehow don't quite jel with the people. and also i don't know if i can #handle being around people for so long at a time. and having to be constantly working and using my initiative to try to find what needs #doing and generally activating the part of my brain that doesn't come naturally to me #and yeah i had another offer for a summer job that i could say yes to. but i think that would burn me out even more bc it's just as much of #being around people only SIX days a week full-time #i just don't know if i'm cut out for being employed in general. but as an adult you sort of have to be because you need money and also just #to do SOMETHING with your life. and i don't want to just become another depressing statistic about the amount of autistic people who don't #work. ugh anyway ignore me i'm just having an existential crisis i guess. maybe i'll feel better tomorrow #emma vents #they should invent jobs that are specifically neurodivergent friendly but i don't think such a thing exists

Ok no one asked but I've been tempted to make Jackie and Olivia stalien designs since I've been working on some new icons for the eternal gales stalien kiddos and it's been making me also think abt how disastrous it would be if they were in the same stalien society that the main cast are from because dear god would they either die instantly or make things so much worse. Even if they did get lucky enough to be able to be remotely near a position to found a stalien version of gravitas, no way in hell they'd be able to get far enough to even begin their own morally corrupt downfall before one of the other big companies forcibly assimilated gravitas into their own corporations and do the same shit but way WAY worse. Even if Jackie Was in a position to eventually climb the ladder enough to get to a more ceo position shed probably end up painting a target on her back way before she could get there, as her and Olivia's whole infinite power research would be very much unwanted by most of the ceo elders. Oh and Olivia would be fucked even beyond that because she's a biologist lol so at best she's going to be forced to drop every last one of her morals and barely scrape by

#rat rambles #oni posting #eternal gales #posts that will immediately isolate every last one of my followers rip the the recent oni followers sorry for the no context #anyways realistically olivia and jackie wouldnt be in positions of power just statistically and as such would be dead in their early 20s #well by their early 20s most dont make it that long #but assuming they ended up in jobs that sort of line up with their canon jobs theyd both likely be working at the convieor facility #aka where mason was supposed to work at and where dancer and helmet where both held as lil kids #and if you know anything abt that whole situation then you know that olivia and jackie are not winning in the job lottery here lol #now assuming that they stick to similar specialties olivia definitely has the more extreme shit to be stuck doing here since well. y'know. #but jackie might theoretically be able to luck out a bit and not be hands on in the surgons branch #she would probably still have to work with them but shed be more so in charge of collecting the data and deciding what to do with it #this means shed be more closely working with the twos boss for better or for worse #most likely for worse but yknow #olivia and jackie Could stand a chance at making it past the first culling checkpoint due to them being useful enough but thats a maybe #it mostly just depends on what direction they try to take their research and if it's smth their boss would take interest in #so less 'bettering society' and more 'making our lives specifically easier' #so no infinite power or at least not with any intent on wide scale application #if olivia could figure out the whole biolengineering thing somehow without ever having seen an animal then that could save her #one big issue that the facility is meant to be solving is the whole corpse crisis #aka stalien corpses dont rly decompose well especially without other wildlife to help #and as you might have been able to gleam there are a lot of corpses on these guys hands #so finding methods of body desposal is a big research point of the surgons branch #now ofc this research does indeed make more corpses but hey at least theyre smaller ones. iykyk. #anyways the main question for me when it comes to hypothetical jackie and olivia stalien designs is what color energy do they have #because usually I just go off eye color but they dont have canon eye colors so I could get more creative #also if I just go with my designs for them then theyd both just have red or yellow energy #which I could certainly work with but idk if I want either to be red and I dont want both to be yellow #plus red and yellow are technically both based in the same color energy anyways so it still feels unapealing #I could make jackie a pale purple or black varient and olivia a particularly dense yellow varient

[onepiece-polls]

I know it just begun, but what's your favorite submission so far?

Well, first of all, I'd like to share some statistics.

There have been 20 submissions so far, for 16 different characters, of which 3 are Strawhats (which kinda surprised me).

The funniest and most surprising submission was this one though 😂

Also, I'd like to mention these two (probably not by the same person 😂):

The last one especially because no one even submitted Doffy yet (bet that's about to change though)

Also, special mention to this submission for not reading the rules at all 😂

And for the short, but to the point explaination.

#ask #not a poll #anon #one piece #in case you're wondering what I mean by 'not reading the rules' #I asked to use a character's real name #and while this is not the only submission that didn't do that #I did specifically put Akainu down as an example #(because of course someone was gonna submit him) #But it's okay my statistics are fucked up already anyway so... #whatever #I'll just do some more counting #one piece most hated

the thing abt this website (and probably other websites as well) is that like. posters will complain that readers get mad at posts for not encompassing Everyone's Experiences, when they were just talking about their own experiences

and it's like. okay but did you phrase your post in the universalizing second person or.

cue janet-with-cactus gifset.

#this is specifically a vagueblog of a post that describes 'being a girl and hitting puberty' as #'you spend years hating being a girl and hating everything puberty did to you' #which is like. i KNOW i read some personal essay by some famous female screenwriter whose name i'm blanking on #that was *entirely* about her adolescent Desire to Grow Breasts #it's not that feeling dubious abt yr body changing *can't* be a Cis Female Experience— #[bc ultimately i do believe like. Gender is a bunch of different things in uneasy harness #(more on this another time probably) #but definitely one of those things is 'the particular lens we personally choose to view our own experiences through' #so if afab!you decide yr a woman? yr experiences are those of a cis woman‚ even if they're statistically speaking uncommon for cis women] #—but it definitely is not a universal one #(and tbh i rather suspect not even a common one‚ although i don't remotely pretend to have data on that point?) #anyway like. if you aren't trying to make claims abt the universality of an experience: first person is a tool available to you! #consider using it! #i think honestly people deploy the universalizing 'you' in ways that are totally invisible to them and it's often alienating-to-harmful #but like. we're so primed to Seek Social Validation that we often phrase things in ways that are like. subtle equivalents of latin nonne #and it's like. this is a power move actually! you don't even realize you're making it! #anyway i'm just a lobbyist for like. understanding what you're doing and doing it on purpose #language #metatumbling

blasting into a discord with my 750,000 simulated dice rolls and stem background to argue about the rules of a game with the designer

#to clarify i am not doing this to be an asshole i am doing it because i had neat dice facts and strong opinions #there's a specific rule about how rolls are resolved if you don't have *anything* in your dice pool #but unfortunately in tough situations (where you'd be cutting the highest 1 or 2 results) #the roll resolution with nothing gives you better odds than mid-tier dice pools. statistically disincentivizing using your skills. #to be fair one can come up with potential narrative and mechanical workarounds as a dm #and it does require your players to either be desperate (not putting together an alternate route) or to have also run the numbers #(and to be willing to use a mechanical loophole) #but as i had neat stats information (hooray!) and one of my favorite activities is rules-lawyering i had to say *something* #anyway! dice-rolling stats are *weird* and vary *wildly* depending on how your system uses them #and a fun and easy thing you can do before playing any new ttrpg is get yourself some dice stats information #familiarize yourself with your odds of success

can we. can we as a society just let go of the term 'artificial intelligence'

#this morning i read an essay on dall-e in the newspaper that started out as a reasonable article and then turned stupid #this evening i came across a very stupid article on lamda #. #machine learning is just statistics with some randomness. matrix multiplications optimized according to some loss function. applied to one #very specific task and utterly meaningless when removed from that context #nothing 'intelligent' and nothing sentient or otherwise human-like about it! #there are in fact many ethical concerns regarding different parts of ml (and ethics in ml is an increasingly big topic rn! #fairness; explainability/transparency; data selection + privacy; biases; carbon emissions; when is it really useful to employ ml #for a task; etc) #but oh man. we need much much much better science communication #.. #(it also doesn't help that---if my recent job search experience as someone with an ml-related academic background is at all representative #---''''look at us we're using smart and cool and [insert buzzword here] ai for your problems'''' seems to be a very popular marketing techn #technique in the industry at the moment) #... #anyway i can't find it rn but i KNOW i've already made a post along the lines of 'the term 'ai' my beloathed'. it's a frequent thought

I can’t live in over 99% of housing.

This is not an exaggeration.

“Less than 1 percent of all units are equipped with features that would allow a wheelchair user to live independently.” (HUD.gov)

My experiences of homelessness are inherently tied to this.

•

[ ID: Red capitalized text on a cream colored background reads: “I can’t live in 99% of housing” the “99%” is much larger than the other text. Below that in pink small font reads: “Less than 1 percent of all units are equipped with features that would allow a wheelchair user to live independently. HUD.gov” End ID. ]

It’s simultaneously true that the Latino erasure in American conjure is WILD, and that some people are way too comfortable reading two tumblr posts and going out to shove graveyard dirt into their purse.

#strictly speaking no abre camino is not traditional hoodoo #you may perhaps glean this from the fact that the formula family named after the specific plant has a SPANISH LANGUAGE NAME #idk The Discourse is so tiresome #and so very very imperialistic American #by people who are so sure they're not perpetuating those systems or engaging in cultural genocide #uh huh #sure jan #maybe the LARGEST MINORITY IN THE UNITED STATES #that is: a variety of Latin peoples #have contributed their culture to the magical systems here #because again: LARGEST MINORITY IN THE US #but what am i saying? a huge chunk of tumblr doesn't think latin ethnic identity exists #despite lots of genetic testing on the matter #despite latinas being the most underpaid demographic in the US #despite latin babies dying in ICE detention centers #despite distinct cultural norms and forms #despite latins in the us having the worst academic prospects statistically speaking #but you don't care about that oppression now do you?

well on one hand i'm no longer feeling numb to current events. on the other hand i'm no longer feeling numb to current events.

#cw violence #these tags get really upsetting please read at your own risk #i know i'm preaching to the choir here but the police are not only useless but actively harmful. #forty minutes before they got into the school #minimum. forty minutes minimum. #and in the meantime they were arresting and restraining family members who were trying to get into the school to save their kids #literally. that detail just came out last night. and i can't get over it. #they spent their time not trying to get in but preventing others from getting in. #and the armed sro did little to nothing. #i know people know sros are harmful but even statistically (not anecdotally) speaking the only things sros have been proven to do are #1) reduce small acts of violence (fights stabbings etc) and 2) increase rates of discipline suspension and expulsion for students of color #that's it. there's no statistical evidence that they do anything else. #like i knew they were worse than useless but i didn't realize there was actual data to back it up #most of them also get no school-specific training by the way. they're literally just cops plopped into schools. they know NOTHING about kids #and all this bs about how brave police are to put their lives on the line every day. when they didn't even go into the school right away. #they think their lives are more important than those of children. and they let those kids die. #i don't know how many they could have saved but. they could have acted so much faster. #i'm thinking about when my school did a lockdown drill and didn't tell us it was a drill so we would 'take it seriously' #and how terrified i was sitting there with 35 kids hiding out of sight thinking about how i'd have to charge a shooter if they came in. #it was 15-20 minutes and it was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. #and those kids and teachers sat there while the cops did worse than nothing. for minimum 40 minutes.

idk who needs to hear this, but if a post sounds liberal and uses “male sexuality” in a derogatory way, it’s a terf using progressive language to mask a shitty opinion

#i speak #they are specifically using progressive language to get you to agree without having any deeper thoughts on the subject #especially when it’s spoken in a generalized way without any statistics or proof #explain liquorice pizza to me if you think men are the root of the problem!

[bitchfitch]

I have been having Thoughts about Lasha. but instead of those thoughts being in any way coherent I've mostly just been pulling limbs off of him and super gluing them back onto him.

#Ive also been thinking #like #this is going to make 0 sense to anyone who isnt Deep in the Mexican-Catholic Bullshit #but Lasha was assigned male at creation ok #but hes also transmasc #which Makes Sense. but only if youre used to Real Angels being exclusively men and have Thoughts about the nature of Things #specifically how divine masculinity and male sexuality differ from #why am i still typing #these words statistically mean nothing to you

[ladiablesse]

idk to me it’s just like,,,black people coined the phrases say her name and rest in power for a reason and im gonna focus specifically on say her name because it was black women who wanted to call attention to the systemic violences that we have faced that have resulted in the deaths of so many of us which were left unrecognized. it was specifically addressing an issue within the black community wherein black femicides (particularly at the hands of the police/intimate partners) were not given the same spotlight as the murders of black men. we are always forgotten in life and in death and that is part of why the violence against us has been permitted to continue to the point that we are at a significantly higher risk of homicide than any other race. and the statistics are even more grim for black transwomen and femmes. for every nonblack victim of transphobic violence that gets recognition in their horrific death, there are 10 black victims whose names we never know. like that is the whole point of the phrase this shit is life or death for us and we know that the moment race is decontextualized from the nature of the phrase then that is when we are once again forgotten. but yall are acting like we’re trying to start genz tiktok lingo/aave co-opting discourse.

#it’s the fact that this didn’t even need to be a whole back and forth for the past week #like sometimes you just gotta take blk ppls word for shit and keep it pushing #just an ‘oh okay got it’ and move on
