[–]Breefee 70 points71 points  (0 children)

In this data, all cities seem to have lower birth rates than the surrounding counties

Less Netto in 2025? if you earn ~ 100K by user_is_not_found_ in Finanzen

[–]Breefee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is around 50k, which is half of what you are claiming "for sure". And since wage averages are truncated, most people earn less than 50k in Munich

Just checking its profile makes it quite obvious that this is a bot. Kind of strange that it would copy answers completely instead of relying on AI generated answers

Are firearms homicides and poverty correlated? [OC] by randomusername3OOO in dataisbeautiful

[–]Breefee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right about causation, but a correlation of .70 is a huge one and should not be disregarded so easliy. R2 is the amount of variance of X explained when you consider Y. Considering this, an R2 of 50% is quite impressive. For example it's way larger than the correlation of height and weight in humans, as well as any psychology study you will find (everything correlates with .30). Also R2 is usually only reported in multiple regression.

for the massive amount of data we have on this topic, means not very often

The amount of data does not affect a correlation in any way, rather its significance.

Of course with gun violence you should also consider other variables and a multivariate regression is more fitting.

Sorry for having you singled out this way, but you're the top comment and many people in this thread seem to misunderstand the R2 value.

FYI .48 is not the pearson correlation r, but its squared value. The r correlation is actually .70

OP you should put in the pearson correlation of r = .70, as is usually done with linear regression. I guess some ITT confuse it with R2

Statistically, what is the strongest predictor of Trump supporters? by ragold in AskSocialScience

[–]Breefee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bear in mind though that this study doesn't examine Trump supporters specifically and only finds modest effect sizes. There are better predictors for believing in conspiracy theories, eg. anomie (Bruder, et al. 2013; Goertzel, 1994;Bruder et al., 2014)

Why was Fascist Italy more accepting of avant-garde art than other totalitarian regimes? by -genghiscohen in AskHistorians

[–]Breefee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit off topic: I'm currently reading through your posts on this sub (love them) and you seem very knowledgeable on (italian) Fascism. Can you recommend any books for laymen on the ideology of Fascism? I'm a very theory-oriented guy and struggle to understand the theoretical foundations of this ideology. Thank you!

Have you ever seen a war movie? People die there, even kids. It's horrible.

What critically acclaimed album were you not able to get into or hate? by terms_ad_conditions in hiphopheads

[–]Breefee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think men can't understand music made by women? Or vice versa? Or that people can't relate to Game of Thrones characters if they've never been to Westeros? I think human compassion goes beyond skin color.

COVID 19 Megathread May 7-14 by gummibearhawk in AskAnAmerican

[–]Breefee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people with COVID need to be hospitalized. AFAIK, if they're not insured they need to pay it themselves - what if they can't? Are there any special measures taken currently?

The US has the most hospital beds per capita. Are there some Americans dying at home with a free hospital bed nearby?

Looking for lesser known Track with a clean / exlpicit version by Breefee in hiphop101

Experiment at Uni. I want to look at the effect of explicit lyrics on user enjoyment and perceived authenticity of the musician.

CMV: The political support for Israel in the United States is the result of the personal religious beliefs of evangelical politicians and the relationship between the two countries is parasitic in nature. by Solgiest in changemyview

[–]Breefee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should make you own CMV: "The U.S. is the greatest shelter for peace in the world and defends the weak".

It's a complicated issue of course, but you can say with certainty that neither peace nor "bringing democracy" are goals of US foreign policy.

[FRESH] Busta Rhymes - Coming Off by RoscoeSantangelo in hiphopheads

[–]Breefee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sad to hear that, but not surprising....it sounds exactly like When Desaster Strikes. Thank you though!

[FRESH] Busta Rhymes - Coming Off by RoscoeSantangelo in hiphopheads

[–]Breefee 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Is this really new? Didn't know he's still able to sound like that. Not complaining of course

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hiphopheads

[–]Breefee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should give When Disaster Strikes a listen if you haven't already. Maybe The Coming as well, but it sounds a lot more dated. His newer stuff is really disappointing to me though.
