Crack your knuckles, solve your problems your own way, stop comparing yourself to other people, ditch the drugs, and turn your life around. You're the main character; this has been episode 1, now let's do episode 2.

This isn't entirely correct. It's kind of like saying "SAT score" is a racist pseudoscience -- which honestly I can kind of get behind, heh. "IQ" is not a property of a human the way height or eye colour is, it's just a test score. Yes, it's used by racist people for racist ends, but racist people use everything for racist ends. The actual science behind IQ has always shown that (a) individual variation in IQ score is vastly, vastly greater than any potential racial factor in IQ, and (b) different research findings on racial averages in IQ score are varied enough that it's hard to draw much of a conclusion. It's also well known that IQ tests have a bias in favour of people from western developed nations. To me, it's most likely that racial averages are similarly biased by the test.

Dowsing is a pseudoscience -- it falls apart under scrutiny. But under scrutiny, IQ test scores still correlate with success just like SAT scores do. They are slightly heritable, just like SAT scores are. It sucks, but that's our capitalist society for you. (Let's revolt.)

But to the OP, please understand that these correlations are nothing more than correlations, and they are meaningless when you zoom into the individual level. Statistics about groups of people only make broad guesses but are meaningless about individuals. Statistics say the average person has one ovary and one testicle. Statistics say the average American has never heard of lemmy. So, don't let statistics define you -- that would be pseudoscience.

If it helps, remember this: it's not scientific to say "my IQ is just 76." You should say "My most recent IQ test score was 76."

The article is NOT satire -- it's provocative. The author argues that world hunger benefits the rich. Capiche?

I hope the UN restores the article.

Reading about it

Looks like they did more than you. There is indeed quite a bit of evidence that suggests he was guilty, which you'd realize if you weren't just discounting all of it as surely sprouting from white supremacy. But our justice system works on the presumption of innocence, or at least it's meant to. That it failed to, that our justice system is structurally flawed, that's what's racist -- not the real possibility he might have been guilty. Lol, literally nothing in this world has a zero percent chance, and if you think it does, you're honestly blinded by your fucked up pseudo-ideology.

Learn what structural racism means, and until then don't call yourself a leftist.

Anyway I g2g have a life. Peace out.

Lemmy is tree-structured. Can't talk over nobody.

Bro said "I think that there is 100% plausible reason to doubt that he is guilty," you don't get to just pretend like they wrote "I still think he did it." Maybe practice listening to people. Typical toxic masculinity.

They just said they do not trust it though.

I just want to remind you all that Gary Bowser, switch modder, owes 30% of his income to Nintendo for the rest of his life. He also is in a wheelchair and has kids.

What does BLOB stand for?

U.S. vehicles currently emit 2 billion tons.

However -- I think 2030 is waaay too far in the future to predict anything about AI.

How many transgender mass-shooters have there even been? Zero? One?

I assume they just spew this fake news in order to make people hear "trans shooter" over and over again until they think it's a pattern.

small governments cannot independently solve global crises.

the concept of account lifespan duration, regardless of what it's called, exists only to make you feel more attached to your account.

cake day is just one more way to discourage you from leaving.
