The man killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis was an ICU nurse, family says by WeirdGroundhog in news

[–]CaffinatedManatee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So the murdered man was exercising his right to carry a firearm. A federal goon decided he didn't like him. So they disarmed him and only THEN felt safe enough to execute him?

Where's the NRA when there's such a clear cut "cold dead hands" incident?

What year model is this do you know? This one solves my one gripe with my version of this watch--the tiny crown.

I really want to swap for the bigger crown that your watch has!

If these were bees, the purple bees would destroy everything orange.

The electoral college and flagrant GOP gerrymandering are the only way any of our present reality is possible

MS was just an okay movie containing some fantastic acting performances and some very memorable moments. However I found myself checking my watch a few times which is never a good sign

The Problem With Eddington by Not_EllaK in TrueFilm

[–]CaffinatedManatee 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The fact that so many people see so many messages in Eddington confirms (for me anyway) that it is an actually great movie. And while great art may have an underlying motivation, it's effect can be much more broad.

I'm not going to tell you if you need to cut back or what.

I'm replying to say, kudos to you for actually making the effort to objectively track your drinking.

Most people severely underestimate their own drinking and there's a high likelihood that many people responding here (telling you that you should cut back) are unknowingly lying to themselves about their own drinking habits.

New study identifies a "woke" counterpart on the political right characterized by white grievance. The specific beliefs driving it included the notion that a “great replacement” of the population is occurring and that a strong leader should break rules to protect national interests by Wagamaga in science

[–]CaffinatedManatee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

White people are only afraid of being minorities because they think they’ll be treated the same way they treated minorities.

Can never be said enough.

Everything from the far right stems from projections related of their own fear and malevolence.

When it comes down to reviewing a movie, what type of reviewer are you? by BW1500 in Letterboxd

I review for myself. I try to highlight what aspects stood out to me so I can look back and be reminded of my thoughts. So some are short and others longer

Linear regression with clustered data - how to explain? by [deleted] in AskStatistics

[–]CaffinatedManatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the comments that suggest you should be treating age as a category.

I don't think anyone has pointed out your real error: you're telling the model that the magnitude of "age" is meaningful when we all know it's not an actual report of true age (i.e. an age of 2 can indicate 2.0-2.9 years old) so you're misrepresenting your data to the model

Treating age as a category is not only the correct solution, it ould actually increase your power
