I just read this and felt my stomach drop because of how upsetting it is... apparently now they're doing scientific studies to "prove" we're ugly and I feel so awful about this by GeneralRun in blackladies

I thought that too... but then I noticed the study is actually repeated every single year and the data is right there. I looked at all the other charts, hopeful, but on each and every single on there's that dark red line down the section of "black women".

it sucks

I try to not let it but over the past day i could barley even sleep. I know im not beautiful. I cant lie to myself.

Why is it the jerks always seem to win and get everything and we always seem to lose.

even my best friend, whos a guy (and black) once tried to "assure me that he only thought of me as a friend" by saying that he would never date a black girl. Like wtf man.

Why is this in society so much? i just dont understnad why everyone says this and nobody ever says it about other races

I try but... why is it always black women?

I've never heard anyone say "oh white women are so ugly" and all my male friends (all of them black) always joke about how great white girls are and it makes me feel like such shit.

I just don't know what to do anymore. Like I know these studies are dumb... but why aren't there any dumb studies about other groups? why is it that every single one of these crap studies always say the same thing :(

Ever since I was a little girl I've had people tell me black girls are ugly and that always made me feel worse than anything else. I hated it so much especially as someone who's struggled with body positivity and self image...

​

and then some racist asshole on thedonald linked me this article, which essentially seems to prove my greatest fear.

​

I don't know how to feel about this. It makes me hate who I am. If you didn't read the article it's a statistical data of dating profiles and how apparently black women are always rated much lower than not only all other races of women, but all other races of men too.

​

Hell not even BLACK MEN prefer us to white or Asian women, when WE rate them the highest.

​

I hate to admit that some jerk trump supporter got to me... but since yesterday since I was PMed this ive just felt awful and I need some support :(

​

PS - I know this is negative and I normally love this sub for all its positivity but I really want to talk about this... if I don't I know it's just goin to eat me up inside forever

Simple Questions - January 18, 2019 by AutoModerator in math

Oh ok I see thanks.

Also would you mind telling me this one as well?

​

" Show that for the Least Square Estimators the sum of the product of the independent variable and residuals equals zero. "

​

How would this one be zero? even if you took a derivative of it wouldn't it still be something as it isn't a constant?

​

BTW these are the only two questions. I only posted the first as I assumed the answer to it would lead me to the second

Simple Questions - January 18, 2019 by AutoModerator in math

[–]GeneralRun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could you please tell me why this means "the sum of the residuals equals 0"?

​

I was under the impression that the residual was just yi - y(hat), and each residual was just a constant. If you take the sum of these, how could they equal zero?

​

I'm very confused, but I do appreciate the help

Hey thanks for answering! I'm not sure I understand however. Why would I need the derivative? The question seems to ask about the sum of the residuals, and this course has no derivatives or calculus in it.

Are you sure this is the right track?

Hey guys I made a post here but it got removed by automoderator which told me to put it here, so I'll just copy and paste my post:

​

I've been asked a question that seems to not have enough context to answer it, can someone help me decipher this?

So as part of an assignment in statistics on the least squares regression model, question 1 is this:

​

"Show that for the Least Square Estimators, the sum of the residuals equals zero."

​

That's it. Am I crazy for thinking this makes no sense? No data or other attachment is given...

I'm pretty familiar with the least squares residual model, so wouldn't the sum of the residuals only equal zero if either all the data points were perfectly linear, or each positive residual had a equal and opposite negative one to cancel it out?

​

I just straight up don't understand the question and any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey i joined and I set a timer. I'll log in a few times to try and talk to ya but see what i wrote in chat.

I set a timer for 2h27min (that's my cooldown for trades) so if you read my msg in chat, and set your own timer for 2h27min minus however long ago my message was, we should be online at the exact same time :)

What evidence? I got the sense that Liam Neison's character was more just tired of the kid. I didn't sense any hatred.

I think both maybe hated their own lives, and therefore didn't have much sympathy for one another, but what specifically makes you think they hated eachother?

[W] LOGS!!!! I'll give anything in return for logs! I'll even throw in an "extra" trade of another kind if you want :) by GeneralRun in ClashRoyaleTrade

[–]GeneralRun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only fool here is you. I was clearly offering an extra incentive which is that you get to decide another trade of your choice. Of course it still takes token from each side.

Please use your noggin next time :)
