  • The numbers are pretty much a consensus among researchers. If you disagree, then the burden is on YOU to do a deep, critical analysis. I'm just reporting the conclusions of others, not doing any critical analysis. If those conclusions make you feel uncomfortable, maybe you should explore that feeling more. Although if you want to do a critical analysis, I'd welcome it.

  • Well, you're really just throwing out what-ifs. But you happened to chance on one theory that some researchers think could partially explain the discrepancy:

    Being bi or lesbian still comes together with a special type of discrimination that a straight woman most likely will never experience;

    Being oppressed causes stress, stress causes lack of control. The idea is it's a similar driver to why poorer couples have higher rates of abuse.

    That's probably not the SOLE cause, but it's likely a factor.

  • My dude, I spent my first six hours on Linux Mint trying to get my touchpad to actually work.

    I only fire up my Linux dual-boot when I'm feeling bored and think "you know what my day needs? A lot more frustration."

  • I read, reviewed, and linked TEN STUDIES that you refused to

    Ah fuck it you're not even listening. I don't often use the block button, I ideologically disagree with blocking anyone who disagrees with you. So consider this an honor.

  • Also if you plan on doing that thing where you keep narrowing and narrowing the focus of the conversation until you can do a gotcha like "aha! You said they 'are studying' but in fact they completed this study in the past therefore they 'have studied' it which makes you a liar and everything you say wrong" then that's just trolling and there's no point to this conversation at all.

    I decided to not go shopping today.

    Took a nap instead. I threw my back out a week ago, and sleeping is difficult. But I happened to be on the bed earlier and found a position that didn't hurt, so I was like "oh yeah, I'm not moving" and had an incredible nap.

    Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse

    When we have a critical mass of people, we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics in an organic way.

    What would be a fair wage for the work you do? An actual dollar amount.

    Bonus question: how much would a company have to pay you for you to give 100% effort at work?

    Why limit immigration?

    Aside from racism. I mean economically/socially, what issues does too much immigration cause?

    You are now in charge of Russia. What do you do?

    You have all the powers that Putin currently does. Everyone completely loyal to Putin is now loyal to you. Enemies of Putin are enemies of you. Putin no longer exists, and there has been a clean and absolute transfer of power to you. The economic, military, social and political situations are the same as they now are. You are not inhabiting Putin's body, you are just you. You're magically transferred to the Kremlin. The world at large doesn't know your past life, to them you have magically appeared as the new ruler. To everyone who knew you before, you just vanished.

    Edit: no one knows your past life YET. They'll quickly figure it out. You will not lose any support based on your actions in your past life.

    What are your favorite privacy-focused alternatives to standard apps?

    Especially for those of us with no coding background, who can't just build/edit an app.

    For example, I like using Gadgetbridge to replace my fitness tracker app: https://gadgetbridge.org/

    It's not nearly as full-featured as a regular fitness app, but it literally can't connect to the internet so there's no way anyone can get my health info.

    How many people here actually know any African-Americans?

    Not like "I went to school with one" but have had an actual friendship?

    I've had a couple of conversations recently where people have confidently said things about the Black community that are ridiculously incorrect. The kind of shit where you can tell they grew up in a very white community and learned about Black history as a college freshman.

    Disclaimer: I am white, but I grew up in a Black neighborhood. I was one of 3 white kids in my elementary school lol, including my brother.

    Don't harm your biome by "cleaning" it

    The human body needs constant exposure to germs to keep its immune system healthy. Washing dishes, doing laundry, and taking showers all damage or destroy the bacteria that's keeping your immune system strong.

    What's the story you would write if you were an author?

    A lot of people worldbuild when they daydream and have the bones of a story kicking around in their brain, but have to pay the bills and raise the kids etc so they never flesh it out and write it down. What's your story's premise? Fantasy, sci-fi, alternate history, mystery, western, whatever genre.
