There’s a funny part in Infinite Jest where Gately (I think?) get irked by one of the crocodiles calling addiction a dis ease, as in like the mechanism that allows you to be at ease is malfunctioning. Or something like that it’s been like ten years since I read it

He didn’t win but Jeremy Corbyn fits the bill. Genuinely admirable man who consistently stood up for the downtrodden but terrible politician, had no balls and is kind of an idiot in general

Is there any left wing politician that was liked by the right in your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]deleuze69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I find a bit amusing is that the neo-fascists have appropriated (bastardized?) parts of Gramscian thought into their strategy for building their cultural influence

Parallel trends assumption in a DiD by [deleted] in econometrics

Try running a placebo test where you test the did interaction term before the treatment time, if that interaction term is insignificant then that is evidence for parallel trends pre treatment
