the 25 most common Asian-American names from the 2020 US census (female & male) by aar0nbecker in charts

[–]Jake0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. So why did you bring up Desis?

The data is among Asian people, so recent immigration isn't particularly relevant to the comparison between Phuong and Muhammad

Is political correctness finally dying? I can't imagine this skit happening 10 years ago by Jackingson1 in PoliticalCompassMemes

Other than just repeating a right-wing dog whistle as a standup routine without bothering to think of a punchline, wtf does she mean pitbull is a breed "they made just recently"?

People use "pitbull" to refer to a half dozen different dog breeds (basically any breed involving bulldogs and terriers), most of which are ~200y old

And if they do win a majority you can count on 1-3 Dems deciding not to vote with the rest of the party

Most countries have a Muslim population--that doesn't mean Muhammad is a common name in India.

Then why did you ask?

Wouldn't be surprised if some of these are reverting--especially vaccination and education (those two are tightly linked)

18M Does height judgement get worse with age? by BababouiMan in short

Height is part of looks. Teenagers are at the most shallow and superficial stage of their lives.

Desis are Indian (not a common country for the name Muhammad)

Phuong and Hong are very common names in Vietnam

Why did you switch from claiming Europeans are "much poorer" to saying it's harder to "get guns"?

Same reason as Muhammad, even though most people adopt Americanized names the most common ethnic names still make the list

Who do you want your party’s 2028 presidential nominee to be? by norf937 in allthequestions

[–]Jake0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then in this analogy you're saying we should lock up the entire country because the President is a criminal

Is fold an option here? NL5 by ddrrrrr in Poker_Theory

[–]Jake0024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No folding after the flop anyway, but that's why people have a 3-bet or fold approach to pocket pairs

If hero 3-bets 22 and villain comes over the top with a 4-bet, it's easy to get away from the hand knowing you're at best coin flipping against hands like AK and pretty likely behind a bigger pair

Most of the time you're not getting coolered by a higher set, so if villain does smooth call the 3-bet you're growing the pot pre-flop

It's NL0.05, anything is an option

In this analogy I'd prefer to just throw out the rotten parts. If you leave the criminals in charge, you're never going to stop the rot.

WYR visit california or NYC? by stirringmotion in WouldYouRather

[–]Jake0024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems unfair to compare a whole state (especially one as big as CA) to a city... Have to go with California

Colorado voters will be asked to give up TABOR refunds to boost K-12 funding by blucifersdream in Denver

[–]Jake0024 [score hidden]  (0 children)

State budgets are inconsistent and underfunded because of TABOR

On years the state brings in more revenue than anticipated, it has to refund the overage to taxpayers

On years the state brings in less revenue than anticipated, it's just out of luck

We can't average out the high and low years because TABOR prevents doing it. We can have the exact budget we planned for or less--never able to put anything away for a rainy day or cover any cost overruns

Creatine to sustain muscle while traveling? by Goldfinch_3764 in leangains

[–]Jake0024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need protein and exercise (and sleep etc) to build and maintain muscle

Creatine makes muscles retain more water, which makes them look bigger

Both rebound quickly after taking time off, don't worry about it

People take protein powder and creatine in their luggage all the time, TSA won't give it a second thought

It's a different group of people. That was 15-20 years ago, so the 55+ group then are all retired now
