im not a sociologist I got with what they say

2019-09-02 04:41:27 UTC  

ok, I found Blonde's section in that video I posted above - it starts at 30:34, 31:47(will post more timestamps as I find them)

2019-09-02 04:42:41 UTC  

That study is making a prediction, and it doesn't square with what actually happens

2019-09-02 04:44:06 UTC  

violent crime in nevada is down since passage of concealed carry. I don't attribute it to concealed carry, but it didn't increase like that guy said it would, so that study isn't using data, its just the author saying what he thinks will happen

2019-09-02 04:45:09 UTC  

given that the data was available when he made his "study" it leads me to believe he's pushing an agenda

2019-09-02 05:01:41 UTC  

@grant
*"are you basing your claim on the study that projected that, or actual data that shows that?"*
Clearly neither.

Compiled repost:
Blonde mentioned a video in this Sunday's show that the ADL tweeted that had 3 minutes of her in it - I think it's this one: https://interactives.stuff.co.nz/2019/circuit/
Her sections are at 30:34-31:04 and 31:47-31:59, so not 3 minutes but enough
It has Brianna Wu, Becca Lewis and Hotwheels in it too.

Public Safety Announcement;
I suppose I shouldn't be shocked to learn about this, but there is fake medical gear out there. Don't use it, it's not worth it.

@Deleted User Vermont has never had permits, registration or gun control laws for over two hundred years. Lowest violent crime rate in the nation.

2019-09-02 17:10:55 UTC  

Plus it’s only big cites that have the homicide problem anyways.

2019-09-02 17:19:33 UTC  

yes all true

2019-09-02 17:19:49 UTC  

big peach list

2019-09-02 17:21:14 UTC  

violence rates don't change based on access to one weapon or another

Based on what he said earlier about the 'racist' housing study thing, it's fine even if it says the opposite of your view.

... I have a lab coat.

2019-09-02 18:28:40 UTC  

it's ma'am

2019-09-02 18:33:20 UTC  

@Legalize
I'm aware... Eunuch.

2019-09-02 21:02:49 UTC  

good listen

2019-09-03 05:01:22 UTC  

oof coding with a laptop and trackpad sounds like a punishment

2019-09-03 05:17:56 UTC  

it is boring, if it was fun, they wouldn't have to pay people to go to work

2019-09-03 05:40:32 UTC  

When she was talking about 'a map that would be easier for girls to get used to' I was really hoping the guy was going to say 'oh, so like a kitchen?'

2019-09-03 10:28:59 UTC  

well she did basically say it herself

2019-09-03 10:45:14 UTC  

People seem to think coding is all about just being smart, but most don't think about the undervalued skill of being able to put your head down and power through boredom, frustration, and just general unpleasantness. Which is something most of us (myself included) have a very limited capacity for.

2019-09-03 10:48:29 UTC  

I mean, I actually really enjoy coding. When what I'm trying do actually works. Which is mostly never.

2019-09-03 11:02:02 UTC  

tbf i think most jobs are boring...
coding has just the unique frustration of being stuck at some point and being unable to move forward, whereas elsewhere you can still see yourself progressing

2019-09-03 11:04:20 UTC  

Yeah, I can only take so much of that.

2019-09-03 12:58:46 UTC  

Also, I have immense respect for older programmers. Imagine having to write code without being able to Google error messages. I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it.

2019-09-03 12:59:24 UTC  

That sounds like hell.

2019-09-03 13:16:08 UTC  

or the memory limitations... programmers back then were used to exploiting bugs to their benefit, nowadays its just write as much as you won't, there is no need for caring about the ram usage

2019-09-03 13:20:14 UTC  

Oh yeah, that too. Because of that, no one can tell me that video games from the first few generations of consoles weren't a technical marvel in their own right. Especially the original Game Boy.

2019-09-03 13:30:56 UTC  

Those were the days.
