Whatever can be destroyed by the truth should be destroyed by the truth. (https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/03/13/destroy/)

No, that’s like telling the city government they can’t have cops arrest people for a law that hasn’t passed council.

That’s almost literally the opposite of what the judges actually said.

They specifically called out “the use of unfair and deceptive practices”, but ruled the FTC has to follow it’s own procedures and, in this case, did not.

Once the FTC follows it’s own processes and procedures, it can institute the same policy.

Practice. It get to Chestnut’s level, it has to be intentional.

3 popeyes sandwiches used the be a common order for me, but I try to eat less these days. Most of my practice was not with purpose of getting better, but I enjoyed the feeling of fullness even as a child and still love a buffet.

Well, maybe I’ll try again in the future but I don’t currently own a Samsung.

I guess the answer to at least one of those is no. Last time I tried a battery replacement, I broke the screen either during assembly or disassembly. I build my own desktop PCs, and have fixed laptop monitors and drives, but every time I attempt hardware repair on something phone-ish, I make it worse (even going back to when I owned an OpenMoko).

Maybe he’s got a finer point, but it actually just looks like an argument against categorization. It’s like saying I don’t trust math about “triangles” or “scalene triangles” or “rhombuses” when you find out about the special properties of the equilateral triangle or the square.

The fact that there are differences between elements of a category does not eliminate the utility of the commonalities shared by elements of a category. It does limit that utility, yes.

For example, just because you are getting plenty of protein, if you somehow completely avoid one of the amino acids that the human body uses but can’t synthesize, then eventually you will have some fairly specific health problems. That’s not strong evidence that it’s worth micromanaging your macronutrients by tracking your intake of all amino acids individually. (It might be; I haven’t seen it studies either way.)

Maybe I’m missing some context, but I also get the “anti-science” vibe from the image.

Justice can be achieved without racism.

Actually, it can’t. Since racism caused the injustice, identifying the victims and restoring their losses is impossible without using it.

The pendulum swing (post-dampening) is the only practical way to get to justice.

This is especially true since we can’t know we’ve achieved societal justice without some measurement delay.

Popular and profitable things do way more damage no matter how “uncool” they are. Boomers making minion images will only worsen the problem.

There’s no option for me to choose a copyright-free world. But, I can choose to not use (or promote or propagate) works made by “AI” owned my MASSIVE corporations in violation of the copyrights of millions of independent, often non-profit-driven content creators (including myself).

Employment is a necessity under Capitalism. Performance is not.

I agree. I don’t really see any problem with her performing the play.

BUT, I’m not sure the library should be forced to let her use the space (or be assessed civil penalties). So, I don’t think she should sue or that the suit should go her way.

I could be convinced if the library is supposed to be providing performing space to the public and the library is controlled/funded by the government. Then, I think she might have free speech protections, especially after they had done some scheduling. Asking her to change the characters definitely seems like content policing, not mere “time and manner” control.

A talented artist should combine Zohran Mamdani’s campaign photo and the movie posters for “Conan the Destroyer” and “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan” to produce a “Zohran the Destroyer” meme image.

Not every error bar represents a Gaussian, if for no other reason that most error bars aren’t symmetric.

The error bars for small sample size relative to population size are Gaussian.

Error due to a non-representative sample can have a variety of shapes, but their distribution might also be unknown. We do frequently, almost implicitly, assume unknown distributions to be Gaussian, but we should recognize that’s not necessarily a true fact about the universe.

It’s a very non-representative, very small sample. The error bars in the statistical inference to the whole population includes both “very common” and “one-in-a-million”.

Honestly, since I found Lemmy, I mostly ignore (or don’t even see) Reddit news. Rarely it still shows up when I search things, but I just view those without logging in and don’t vote / comment.

When I started it was more of a walk (2.0 mph; 30 minutes), but it still wore me out.

Now, I do a 7min mile on Wednesdays, try to get my 5k @ 2% incline down to 28 minutes on Satruday (did ~32 minutes yesterday), and try to get a 10k in under the “club limit” of 1hr on the treadmill on Sunday (did 6.15 mi. in 1:02:00 [2 minute cooldown] today).

It’s the best way to get my recommended weekly cardio I’ve found.

Don’t kill the part of you that’s cringe, kill the part that cringes.

Same… and my back no longer hurts after I started running. The back pain actually went away before the weight did.
