if you don't know any different....

2020-03-01 00:52:29 UTC  

what are you allowed to exist, Dotty?

2020-03-01 00:52:37 UTC  

YEET THAT

2020-03-01 00:52:47 UTC  

even then, having disproportionally more men than women leads to an increase of violence

2020-03-01 00:52:56 UTC  

does it?

2020-03-01 00:53:11 UTC  

you seem to think cultures are all the same

2020-03-01 00:53:18 UTC  

statistically, yes

2020-03-01 00:53:22 UTC  

no

2020-03-01 00:53:32 UTC  

statistics don't apply

2020-03-01 00:53:39 UTC  

and it's also plausible since you'd need to try harder to compete for a female

2020-03-01 00:53:58 UTC  

>statistics don't apply
get the fuck outta here lol

2020-03-01 00:54:16 UTC  

that's like trying to statistically examine a pebble on a beach's likely hood of being part of a single, specific dinosaur creature

2020-03-01 00:54:21 UTC  

statistics consistently apply to large groups of people

2020-03-01 00:54:41 UTC  

you can apply them all you want; you'll just get garbage

2020-03-01 00:55:16 UTC  

there's an increase of violence corresponding to an imbalance of a men to women ratio

2020-03-01 00:55:45 UTC  

again, you are trying to apply causation as if it were causality

2020-03-01 00:55:49 UTC  

@Christmas Merlin also a bernie supporter of course

2020-03-01 00:55:55 UTC  

inappropriate use of statistical analysis

2020-03-01 00:55:56 UTC  

I KNOW

Why can a smell a strong simp b

2020-03-01 00:55:58 UTC  

THATS THE JOKE

2020-03-01 00:56:32 UTC  

and increase in violence correlates with about a million other things also

2020-03-01 00:56:47 UTC  

in that case it might very well be causality since there's clearly grounds for frustration if you know you can never have a wife like it's the case for many men in china

2020-03-01 00:57:01 UTC  

if you have more than 6 degrees of freedom, you don't have any meaningful correlation

Every tuesday, a person of a particular race dies. Every tuesday, every person of that race engages in a certain activity.

2020-03-01 00:58:40 UTC  

that doesn't mean that activity kills people

2020-03-01 00:59:20 UTC  

if the sampling is big enough, you'll get the same correlation via just random chance

my third
`if the sampling is big enough, you'll get the same correlation via just random chance` but this is still nonsense

2020-03-01 01:01:12 UTC  

the bigger the sampling the more precise the statistics

2020-03-01 01:01:33 UTC  

a hypothesis must be tested or it's just speculation. a proper scientific test has exactly ONE control variable and ONE test variable

a statistical analysis performed on a set of people which cannot be adequately randomized yields no meaningful data. it's like trying to say that being born on Tuesday reduces your average lifespan because of all the people that ever existed that were born on Tuesday, that day had the lowest avg life expectancy
