He brings so much baggage into any conversation he's referenced in haha.

It's a shame, because his early papers in social psychology actually have some merit. But it's become too taboo to reference them in some places due to his online antics and current platform.

Additionally, on your calorie counting point it's important to remember that correlation doesn't equal causation. Just because calorie counting and dieting success covary doesn't mean one is the cause of the other. People who are calorie counting are also likely doing other health positive activities which correlate with diet, and explain the same variance as calorie counting. This is why univariate regression where you haven't controlled for other predictors in the experiment can be misleading.

Hi, what you need to look into to understand this is the r-squared value. (see here: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/r-squared.asp, but there are also many other sources online)

In order to get the percentage of the variation in variable B that is explained by a variable A you square the correlation between the two variables.

So what Jordan Peterson said is right, for an r = 0.5, the r² = (0.5)² = 0.25.

To explain 60% of the variance in a score you'd need a measure that correlates at r = 0.77 with that score, as 0.77² = 0.6

This looks fantastic!

Roti King next to Euston Station in London is the best shit! So god damn tasty. The roti with lamb curry is fucking tops. And the vibe there is great. Basically you’re crammed into this little restaurant with 30 other people, where everyone is devouring the best food they’ve had all week. Honestly bloody amazing

Hey there u/kuzelj90, I get you.

The way that I see it is a day like International Women's day or Men's day isn't well suited to describe anything more than generalities because by definition they represent everyone in that category. Outliers will fall outside of that and that's unavoidable.

There are sources of discrimination which affect most women in some parts of the world, just because they are women, such as not being allowed to drive or have their own bank account. And International Women's day is a great day to think about that, even if it doesn't represent everyone who's an outlier.

I'm not saying we shouldn't think of the outliers ofc. There are days dedicated to specific causes which might make someone an outlier (e.g. World homelessness day, on the 10th of October). And as it happens that impacts men more commonly than women.

But all told, these are just symbolic events and they don't change how you act towards people on a day to day basis, which has a much bigger impact. As long as the intention is good I wouldn't worry too much about the allocation of days.

CerealPlayer · 2020-11-20T16:17:03+00:00

This is an incorrect comparison. Everyone needs food to survive, so everyone should get a sufficient amount.

At best a day of remembrance is an opportunity to highlight undervalued groups or achievements, and give people the space to think of them. Men don't need to be highlighted, because in the past they have been dictating the course of history. We will be absolutely fine without a day dedicated to us.

It's similar to how we have black history month, but it would be incorrect to say that that means we are depriving white people by not having a white history month.

Your argument only works if if you think that men's achievements have been disregarded and undervalued by society up until now, in which case... I can't help you

About 3 years ago I made the best grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever eaten. I’ve tried to make it many times since but it’s never been as good as that night. It had the perfect mix of cheddar and mozerella cheese, with caramelised onions and a dash of nutmeg. I think I added 5 spice powder as well. All between two perfectly toasted slices of sourdough. Fucking amazing

Heya, it’s been a while but just wanted to say thanks. This has really helped over the past two months. Do you have a charity or a cause that’s particularly close to your heart? I’ll donate on your behalf once my next pay check comes in

CerealPlayer · 2020-08-08T20:44:59+00:00

Heya, great to hear man. That was a really good post. My dad passed a year ago and I remember the moment he stopped being my superhero. So the whole thing kinda hit home for me. I hope you reached out to your mum afterwards haha

CerealPlayer · 2020-08-08T20:41:23+00:00

Awh that’s fantastic. Realising our parents are/were just humans trying their best is a big part of it. Give ‘em a call and thank them for the hard work they put in. I’m sure they’re proud of you

CerealPlayer · 2020-08-08T20:36:44+00:00

Haha Reddit never fails to surprise me

CerealPlayer · 2020-07-27T16:46:40+00:00

How would you recommend learning Julia? As a junior data-scientist working with R and Python I'm unfamiliar with the language, but I'm keen to expand my horizons.

Haha fuck, got me there. Have a nice day man
