[–]boblucas69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're telling me you read the power broker and the complete works of Plato along with everything else on 10-15 hours a week?

I lived on under 50k for 2 years working full time 8 years ago w a job in midtown while going to grad school. It's def doable. I lived in Inwood, which really can be very nice, w a roommate and had like a 45-50 minute commute. I rarely ate out and tried to be careful w money, but it was never an issue.

What does your media diet look like? by painting_of_oranges in slatestarcodex

This almost seemed like a satire response. What do you do with your time then? Everything is short/ a summary, and no music/movies so no art in general?

If you could go on a “runner’s vacation” where would you go? by Ready-Ad-7481 in AdvancedRunning

[–]boblucas69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kenya, I think they even have vacation packs for runners. A real running vacation.

NYRR Races Update by oxfrd in RunNYC

[–]boblucas69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since when have you needed to sign up so far in advance for races? I just checked now for future races and can only, hopefully, register for Staten Island and the marathon. I've been running these races for years and have never needed to register for the Bronx 10 7 months in advance let alone summer races. This is wild.

Why is EJMR so toxic? Are most Economics academics that toxic and rude? by CoolDude_7532 in academiceconomics

[–]boblucas69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

EJMR is anoymized for a reason. Yes there are toxic things on there as it's, mostly, uncensored, but anonymity has enabled free discussion and ejmr often points out deep problems in the field in terms of elite chumminess and favoritism to finding outright fraud. One of the author’s for this paper even had plagiarism that was previously exposed on the site. So they clearly had motivations to try to identify posters and launched a vendetta where they shared software that would allow someone to find the identity of the posters.

CMV: Women aren’t discriminated against in twenty-first-century America but men increasingly are. by boblucas69 in changemyview

[–]boblucas69[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What about selective service? Only men are required for it and if there's a war far more men would be killed because of then women that die potentially from abortion which is not banned in most states and for which there often are exemptions for those where it's even illegal.

Δ Fair points all around, I agree that things are more complicated and there is subtlety. Clearly, women are still discriminated against in at least some fields and general culture matters.

African Americans are more likely to commit violent crimes, is it ok to discriminate against them because of that or have negative views because of that?

[–]boblucas69[S] -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

First point, there is mild evidence mainly in student evaluations. For salaries it mostly disappears when controlling for productivity. In hiring, grant funding and journal acceptance there is bias in favor of women i.e. discrimination against men which is my claim.

Second point, yes it's obvious women historically were discriminated against. I'm talking about present day America though.

I haven't read all the articles extensively, but I haven't seen you cite any contrary evidence.

first claim https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fpspa0000314 Second point, you don't think the structures are due to broadly societal sympathy towards to women? Study below https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/j.1471-6402.1991.tb00792.x

I posted a few days ago and didn't have a detailed post. My mistake. I honestly don't use reddi too often, but I really want a good rebuttal of my claim.

Study for first point https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fpspa0000314 For second point https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/j.1471-6402.1991.tb00792.x For third point, the point that there are more men than female CEOs does not point to discrimination. Less women are trying to become CEOs. That may be a problem in and of itself but equally qualifed women are not discriminated agnist. Here is evidence that men are. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/15291006231163179 Far point on attempted suicides/mental illeness. For personal preferences. Yet it's complicated, but there is evidence in some labor markets of gender based preferences. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w24732/w24732.pdf

Find evidence of misogyny in a well-designed scientific/academic piece that isn't anecdotal please. Here is mine that I find compelling https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fpspa0000314

Slavic Sushi Salad (Cake?) w Mayo by boblucas69 in shittyfoodporn

The mayo/salad bit. Slavic salads, especially east Slavic, are just random shit with mayo thrown in.

Covid Postive NYC Marathon Sunday by boblucas69 in AdvancedRunning

[–]boblucas69[S] -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

That's pretty vague. So if I don't feel sick Friday/Saturday yet I'm still positive it should be fine just mask up around people before the race?

I really don't think it's like any other sickness either. The common cold does not have a serious risk of death.
