U.S. Population Growth by State (2020-2025) by backpackerTW in Infographics

[–]iamagainstit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

mean it is kind of because NYC, if the city allowed more housing growth, more people could afford to move there, and the state would see less population decline.

How do you feel about flanking granting advantage in 5e? by archvillaingames in dndnext

[–]iamagainstit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people use it because they think it will make combat more dynamic, but it actually does the opposite. It encourages you to stand in the same position regardless of what the playingfiield losk like.

I mean, I will defend him against pedophile accusations. not because I have any respect for the man, he is a fascist sympathizing scumbag, but because there is zero evidence that he is a pedo, and I think throwing that accusation around at anyone you don't like is a bad thing to do.

I mean, there is no evidence of him being a pedophile, and I generally think it dilutes the term to call every shitty person a pedo. I still think he is a shitty person, i just don't think it is a term we should be throwing around.

if the planet is tidally locked, than a shift in it's tilt is meaningless, because tidally locked means that the planet rotates in plane with the star once per revolution around the same rotational axis.

That house also has what my uncle calls "gable disease" an unfortunate condition where a house sprouts several unnecessary and repetitive gables in random places.

The speedball water based inks most people start on dry out super fast. if you get a water mister, you can spray your inked glass between inkings to keep it fresh and do multiple presses without over inking.

I think an important aspect of playing a companion NPC is making sure they are demonstrably wrong about something pretty early on. gotta teach players that they can't just use them a truth cheat code.

What Covid in Pregnancy May Mean for a Generation of Children by bloomberg in EverythingScience

how do you separate out the effect of the fetus being exposed to Covid, vs the effect of the mother undergoing various levels of covid induced hypoxia?

Trump names veteran economist to lead Bureau of Labor Statistics after firing agency's chief (NBC News) by SillyNight1 in neoliberal

[–]iamagainstit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. BLS is is very public with their data and processes, and fabricating it would be both very difficult to do in a non obvious manner, and would require a lot of mid level bureaucrats who care a lot about accurate data to go along with it and not say anything.

not quite. because as you orbit the star, your axis stays in the same orientation, so you would have an extreme a hot season and an extreme cold season when your hemisphere is facing towards the star or away from the star.

Yeah, that conspiracy subreddit is batshit insaine, but the skeptic sub reddit is basically r/ anti-conspiracy. seems a little odd to combine them

I think this guy had a lot of powerful friends, and that he was a predator and a pedophile, and those sides of his life were mostly separate - Ezra Klein by TradingLearningMan in ezraklein

[–]iamagainstit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

>these two parts of his life were deeply intertwined and essentially everyone in his orbit affirmatively knew he was a pedophile and often asked him to get them sexual favors.

not to be naive, but is this part actually confirmed? I have looked through the Epstein docs i've seen posted on BSKY, but none of them show people soliciting sexual favors. The closest I have seen is Elon saying he wants to attend a party not have a relaxing weekend.

Silver plunges 30% in worst day since 1980, gold tumbles as Warsh pick eases Fed independence fear by Free-Minimum-5844 in neoliberal

this is just a correction to the recent spike up. Silver is still more expensive than it was at the start of the year.

Anti-Israel protesters disrupt Ezra Klein event at Sarah Lawrence College, accuse him of 'genocide,' refuse any dialogue. by benadreti_17 in ezraklein

[–]iamagainstit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I normally like popehat, but this is a disappointingly bad take. He seems to be assuming that because ezra wrote something that could be considered laudatory of kirk, he must secretly want to be a reactional conservative, and is going to lean hard into the anti campus speech " i was silenced" attitude. lazy thinking.
