i think a really funny project that a statistics professor could have their class do is like. put a bunch of random, patently untrue demographic statements into a hat. "the most popular tv show among white men ages 24-27 is Bluey." "the majority of business majors are middle children." "bisexual women love hot chips." and each student picks one out of the hat and you gotta like. design a whole study and survey a group of people to specifically achieve that result. you have to prove it true. by whatever means necessary. you have to construct the most biased study possible and wrangle in your exact demographic to make that statement a statistical reality. i think people would learn a lot.

I actually do feel like the "unemployed friend on a Tuesday" meme actually helps de-stigmatize unemployment because it frequently affirms that when you don't have a job you're more likely to be getting up to some weird shit rather than just lazing around. But I also feel like the unemployed friend is frequently up to some random shit because there's a whole pile of miscellaneous life tasks that full-time employment keeps people from. The unemployed friend is helping their cousin move, or babysitting, or checking in with a neighbor with mobility issues. The unemployed friend is a walking thesis on the inflexibility of our current labor landscape and just how much work exists outside of work.

i actually don't believe all opinions are valid unless we're talking about purely subjective things like music taste or pizza toppings or what you find sexually attractive in another person or whatever.

if an opinion doesn't come with any knowledge or understanding of the subject one is carrying an opinion about, it's just a hunch or an assumption or maybe even a hypothesis. hunches and assumptions can be fine if one is fully aware that they are nothing more than that and are open to being wrong. hypotheses are good if you're going to actually test out your hypotheses and accept whatever your investigations reveal.

otherwise its all actually kinda dangerous. and anyone who can't carry the possibility of being wrong about anything does not have an opinion that can be trusted. anyone who is unaware that their assumptions are assumptions and just blindly trusts that every stupid thought and belief their talking monkey brain has is true, is potentially dangerous to the world and should definitely not be allowed to make decisions that affect large amounts of people.

and yes i am keenly aware that this all just, like, my opinion, man.

Hey just a quick check in- now that musk is like severely imploding on trump and their severed ties

Yall won't forget this part right?

Yall won't forget he's still a massive scumbag right? That he's still a nazi right? That won't get lost in translation right???

(I don't THINK it'll get forgotten but I really want to remind people that just because Musk is now bashing trump for all the shit we've known about him for awhile that we don't forget he was complicit. If anything his bashing and airing out trumps laundry makes it worse, because he KNEW all that and still worked with him.)

"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.

[birdsareblooming]

it's been like 2 years. i havent touched it. never needed to. "you don't really have a choice," are you so swift to forget the recent past? Bitch i still use itunes to download mp3s to so i have them forever and any song i want, then my sister burns them to CDs. When boycotts rolled out my other sister got no thanks to scan what products we shouldn't buy. i still use corded headphones not because "its older" but because it's easier. a fool criticizes those who buy candles 200 years after the invention of the electric light until the power goes out. become ungovernable. you are not immune to propaganda. you've never had Chatgpt forced upon you, the only thing forced upon you is the idea that Chatgpt is forced upon you. why claim you need something today that you didn't need yesterday. little bitch.

Rich Progressive: "I used to be working class. I became rich when I became an actor, singer, athlete, or something else that I got extremely lucky and could have easily failed at. Anytime I see someone who's homeless, I realize that that could have easily been me if things were just slightly different. I still have trauma from my struggles of being working class, so I want to use my privilege to speak up for others who are currently struggling."

Working Class Conservative: "Oh come on. You're rich. You can't speak for me. You have no idea what it's like for people like me who have to work multiple jobs just to feed my family. Now shut up and move out of the way so I can listen to rich people who were born rich, got richer by exploiting the working class, and openly advocate for policies that will make them richer, but who I worship because they hate the same people I do."
