Yeah, I dislocated my knee in high school, couldn’t afford to go to a doctor, haven’t been able to walk right since.


Yeah, and I’m saying there’s two ways of understanding crime rates. One is by looking at how likely it is that you will be a victim (per capita), and one is how likely it is that you or somebody near you will be a victim (per capita * number of people nearby).


Yeah, the numbers aren’t supposed to be accurate. The real numbers are going to vary wildly depending on location, and I don’t think you can ballpark it, so I went with obviously fake numbers to express a concept.
Wdym I don’t understand per capita? America has a murder rate of 5.67 per 100,000 people, is that not how you express per capita?


But the idiots don’t understand what “per capita” means. So they just cite the total volume of violent crime, and neglect to mention that there is a lesser chance of an individual being a victim of violent crime.
I get it. It’s not so much that they’re ignoring “per capita”, it’s that they’re seeing it from the angle of “what’s the chance of this happening in my neighborhood”. If the chances of getting murdered are, idk, 1/100 in the city, and 3/100 in the sticks, but my neighborhood in the sticks has 25 people in it versus a 300 person apartment complex, it’s more likely that one of my neighbors will get killed in the city, and while sure, you’re not the one that’s dead, survivor’s guilt fucking sucks.
This is also not taking into account that the crime rate isn’t homogeneous across an entire municipality, the likelihood of a rural person’s ability to afford a privileged neighborhood in the city, and how that impacts their perceptions.


Yeah, I’m still using my Samsung Note 8, haha


Wild, maybe its because I’m using an ancient phone. It gives me an uninstall option, but it doesn’t uninstall it.



Can it be uninstalled, or just “uninstalled”? I’m concerned it’s going to be like andoid, where it gives you the option to “uninstall” chrome, but it just reverts it to the factory image and leaves a gaping hole in your security.


It stands for Magical Savory Goodness


MSG is my secret weapon for making my cooking better than his mother’s.


I was one of them when I was a kid. There were many times the only food I got was the free lunch provided at school, and I helped my mother scavenge dumpsters behind grocery stores for food. I’m fat now because it’s the most shelf-stable and accessible calorie reserve available, and with the looming cuts, I’m glad it’s there for me. This guy doesn’t know jack about shit.


We all remember what happened to the printer in Office Space
Yeah, my first boyfriend had been jumped up two grades, so I was 16 and he was 14. It never went beyond awkward kissing in the alley after class tho.


Evolution doesn’t quite work like that. Traits aren’t always selected for/against, we have a ton of traits that we’re ambivalent enough about to pass on, like eye color and ear hair. It’s neither advantageous or disadvantageous, people are just horny enough that it doesn’t matter and gets passed on.


“Unattractive” is highly culturally specific though. Ear hair is so strongly correlated with testosterone levels, there’s gotta be some people that think it’s virile and attractive.


I get it. There’s a nickname only my estranged family uses.
The first? Wasn’t LOIC open souce?
