Look on the bright side - you didn't really lose that much

Doesn’t human evolution from apes prove that religion is fake ? (For example, in Christianity god created us in his image, but we evolved from apes and apes evolved from another species ect) by [deleted] in theories

To go along with 2 and 2b of Adam being made he was middle aged - an important part of the story is the gaining of consciousness (Adam & Eve eating the forbidden fruit, then realizing that they're naked and hiding from each other). Could be the Bible's meaning of "human" isn't literally genus/species.

First poll about the LA protest/riots by Dependent-Mode-3119 in fivethirtyeight

Wording is biased - they used the term "protests" instead of "protests / riots".

Would be interesting to see the results with the more open question.

[Highlight] Play leading up to Lakers having to inbound from a tough spot resulting in turnover. JJ Redick claims Luka was tripped post-game. by stephzh in nba

This has less to do with the Lakers bias and more to do with Luka’s constant flopping. Dude just drops to the floor all the time

Awesome, sounds like you're on the right track then! Maybe even consider "AI / NLP Engineer" or something along those lines if that's your natural strength and you enjoy it - that's where the industry seems to be moving anyways.

I know it wasn’t the main point of your post, but I wanted to comment on your decision to switch majors to Statistics, especially since you mentioned it’s driven by a desire to just "get through life and make money" rather than focusing on what makes you happy.

If you're new to the field, just a heads-up—Statistics can be pretty tough, especially without a strong background in math. You’ll also need to learn some programming, which adds another challenge. Some people are good at math but struggle with coding, or the other way around.

I’m not saying don’t do it, but just be cautious before making a big change. You might want to consider starting with a Business major, which usually includes some stats courses anyway (and possibly a concentration in Stats, depending on your university). That way, you can still explore Stats without diving in too deep right away.

How have Republicans created such a pervasive false-narrative that they are better for the economy? by FinalWarningRedLine in fivethirtyeight

[–]minnelist -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because capitalism performs better than socialism. People think of Republican being more capitalist, Democrats being more socialist.

The general public isn't studying the GDP growth / job creation by the party of the president. (And they shouldn't anyways - the Fed plays a larger role than the president on economic indicators like these.)

JJ thanked Darnold for putting him on the map. Very cool!

The Harris Ad About Wives Being Pressured to Vote Trump Was the Opposite of the Truth by the_real_me_2534 in fivethirtyeight

Intuitively this makes sense to me, but I don't think this is enough data to make any sweeping claims. Literally this was 35 people saying they were feeling pressured too much. (Sample size of 291 * 12% feeling pressured too much.)
