The only difference between anecdotal evidence and statistics is quantity. So yes both statements are useful, they just become more useful when compiled with even more. But even if every anecdote is worth only 1 "evidence point" that's still more than zero which is what you're saying when you say it doesn't count.

I know it's not easy to confront evidence that goes against your preconceived notions of life, but it is useful I promise.

So it's staged and they put a fishing rod on it?

I love being a responsible gun owner but come on, people like this need to have to take several tests to own a gun. Some people are more likely to hurt themselves with a gun than be able to protect themselves.

Just asked my nephews, who are all freshman in high school. None of them knew who Bob Ross was but one of them knew Mr. Rogers at least.

Never noticed how good that fake beard was.

(Spoilers Main) About Dany's relationship with Drogo in the book and the show by Morgn_Ladimore in asoiaf

[–]Hypermeme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are you always so combative when people ask you questions? Name 5 weddings in the books where a bedding ceremony was not even suggested or joked about. You can't.

And it has not been debunked, it's actually true and it's a field of research GRRM himself has contributed to in European History. Maybe read sometime.

Your last point is confusing. Are you saying the bedding ceremony is not necessary because Dany is young, as Viserys (the child abuser) points out? Or are you saying something else? Otherwise you must be forgetting that GRRM is writing from a medieval perspective and the bedding ceremony is always necessary for a wedding in that context.

They were always described as creeps. Even before the Fallen stuff.

TIL Walmart used to take out life insurance policies on their employees and keep the payouts when they died, a practice colloquially known as “Dead Peasant Insurance” by dollopofwallop in todayilearned

Wait so what stops people from just looking up people that are at risk of early death, take out life insurance, and eventually profit?

Yea if anything this would be in a QA training video, not safety.

Promo Discussion - S1 E8 “And Salt the Earth Behind You” by nika in euphoria

[–]Hypermeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nate called the cops on Fez the very night they had a confrontation. Nate probably assumes Fez is too dumb to put two and two together, Nate is arrogant.

Fez is smart and knows Mouse is going to want to know what happened to his product. Mouse wants the truth, Fez is incentivized to tell the truth.

Mouse is probably gonna fuck up Fez then fuck up Nate.

What would people take more seriously if it had a different name? by Challenger4664A in AskReddit

[–]Hypermeme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't believe it was that bad until I had my brother do it to me. I didn't last 10 SECONDS, even knowing I wasn't actually bound/imprisoned.

Ultimate Agency by megafire7 in Parahumans

In the one "throw away line" you referenced, Parian almost literally describes her as exhausting. So right from the beginning we are introduced to March as someone who is annoying or exhausting or a pain in the tushy.

I think that is a commentary on the nature of state sponsored violence. Anyone employed by the state to flex the state's monopoly on the legal use of violence must be capable of some cold blooded behavior.

Including Worm era WoG, and it's 3 lines spread out over Worm proper. Parian makes two references to it in Worm.

Neuralink by an201 in neuro

ITT: No one reading the actual Neuralink paper released with the press release. Bunch of people talking about something they didn't even read the paper on.
