  1. He immediately follows that by chopping a bit out of an insightful talk by an NPR person, to assert that she doesn't care about the truth.

  2. I wonder if he is the one clipping it though. It might be the clip he was presented.

  3. Yeah possibly, he is working for fox after all, though best practice there would be to say something like "now I haven't seen the full talk, but from what she seems to be saying saying here.." and let your audience know that you're only working on the same information as them.

  4. I would say it absolutely is about systemic bias - if there were more women in the medical and research field, this discrepancy would have been called out earlier

  5. I'm not sure that would fix it, medicine, particularly psychological medicine, is absolutely full of women. In the UK, psychiatry is

  6. I was saying that Russians showing Ukrainians partying 100s of miles from the frontlines is not the same as the Israelis showing Palestinians on a beach in Gaza as the post I responded to claimed.

  7. If I steal your phone, give it back, but damage your phone screen, vs if I steal your car, give it back, but damage your car windshield, those are bad acts of a different magnitude.

  8. the win condition and methodology of both crisis are so different they don’t really overlap with each other it seems

  9. They do have one thing in common; you will be using dark matter tech, so unless you also run on a become-the-crisis cost-replacement system, you will need dark matter to run your ships, which they will also be producing.

  10. Can you not? I couldn't find any restrictions on the wiki, I've just never tried to diplomatically vassalize one before.

  11. Iran is pretty openly funding, arming, and training Hamas and other extremist groups who are attacking Israel

  12. By saying that you consider the matter closed, don't treat it as a serious provocation given what it was a response to, and don't support further Israeli action making yet another step in the chain, you can make it more likely that Israel takes no action, or a small action at most, so as to avoid damaging the support they have from the US, meaning that there's less likelihood of this continuing.

  13. I think this meme also shows that adding the council was absolutely the right design choice.

  14. That's before he realized how much money he can make peddling this crap.

  15. And before he got fired following a lawsuit that revealed that he was knowingly lying and also badmouthing the guy who everyone wanted him to lie for.

  16. Here's the thought process in Lex, Elon and then like:

  17. I am willing to contemplate a whole series of absurd possibilities rather than committing to the idea that treatment in the Russian prison system was responsible for Navalny's death, which means I am open minded, so I can immediately say this person should be fired without confirming information from the other source or considering other possibilities, and that is also unbiased.

  18. Cotton's has some degree of plausible deniability in his vocabulary (just move them without hurting them). Hasan's has zero ambiguity.

  19. Exactly, saved the stuff about chucking people off the bridge for another medium, where it's less likely to have permanent consequences.

  20. Part of the problem I have with these studies is that "the algorithm" is a moving target.

  21. I used to live there for 21 years.

  22. Looks like a place that really needs trams, or at the very least very frequent busses.

  23. In so far as I've ever seen the planet gets bombed at the least damaging setting of all the fleet settings available. Which is annoying.

  24. I had a significant increase in anxiety symptoms for a while following the covid period, though not to the level of something medical, though in my case I think it was just the weird situation.

  25. You may actually have found a bug in the routing algorithm, I find it hard to believe that the diversion you show is actually shorter.

  26. There was that person who somehow had every origin simultaneously, and was spammed by events..

  27. There's an underlying empirical fact; if something "always happens" for one person, but doesn't always happen for others, it implies there is some constant that that person is bringing around with them to make that happen.

  28. Its not just classifying media and organisations as foregin agents. Its classifying all organisations which recieve X funding.

  29. The EU doesn't have similar yet, and I hope it doesn't, having money from people in another country is not in itself a crime, and people should not be treated with suspicion unless they are doing something actually wrong you can put a name to.

  30. "BRUSSELS — The European Union is working on a law that would force nongovernmental groups, consultancies and academic institutions to disclose any non-EU funding as part of a crackdown on foreign influence in the bloc, three sources confirmed to POLITICO."

  31. Yes, it's a commission proposal, as I understand it, which has to go through the parliament, which means it's useful to recognise when that isn't actually what you want and talk to your MEP about it.

  32. This is not just a social media thing. People don't want to leave their social networks and start over, even more so IRL. It's one of the big barriers to the truly mobile labor force neoliberal economists dream of. It's the first step in people getting trapped in small towns after a factory closes. Humans are very social animals.

  33. Yeah, I really wish we would take more account of that in how we approach the economy; people should have more capacity to live with family and friends, and yet also work in a variety of places, so I think we should have stuff like part time remote work for more jobs, and better fast long range public transport, so people can work on the bus or on a high speed train while going to work.

  34. It amuses me that in the next film they tried to paper that bad choice over by having a character mention that Holdo's hyperspace ram was a "one in a million" chance. So why did the bridge crew on the Supremacy freak out when they realized the Raddus was turning their way? What would have happened in the 999,999 other scenarios, was Holdo going to just leave with the Raddus?

  35. A reasonable answer would be that the weird tracking thing they use causes them to have a different kind of hyperspace shadow, meaning you can collide with them effectively.

  36. A pity the highly-paid Disney writers didn't think of any of those answers.

  37. The star wars films have tended not to have a lot of writers, at least not in film, they tend to have a lot of production staff, lots of special effects etc. but paying writers isn't something that they've prioritised, over writer/directors, with a writing partner.

  38. I've never been much of a fan of looking for crackpottery, as it can be a sideshow from just looking at the quality of what someone is proposing.

  39. I notice the article doesn't seem to make many comparisons to the Boomers, and only a couple of references to Gen-X. It seems to mostly be focused on a comparison with Millennials. I would be curious to see more datapoints comparing Zoomers to Boomers, because it's really the Boomers that every generation compares themselves to.

  40. In case anyone wants to break down why this is wrong beyond just laughing at them.
