Would a lion eat a housecat? Maybe cats just think a human in a cat costume is a giant fucking predator death machine.

Without a source or citation, your comment might as well be “nuh uhh”

Ironically, your comment is also not remotely credible without a citation.

A warrant is a start. Now let’s see some more warrants and some arrests and convictions.

My bank’s website runs fine in my web browser, on my graphene phone. I see no problem here.

Vladyslav? Baby don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me, no more.

“Take the picture of me from a low angle so I look like I’m all grown up”

Horrific racism aside, if their goal was actually foundation of an intellectual elite or some kind of utopian master society, they wouldn’t defund education, science, art. Their goal has only ever been power and control.

Would you mark this as nsfw, please? Her ports are all showing!

There’s certainly a lot to discuss, relative to experimental design and ethics. Peer review and good design hopefully minimize the clearly undesirable scenarios you describe as well as other subtle sources of error.

I was really just trying to explain what we’re looking at on op’s graph.

My limited knowledge on this subject: The z-score is how many standard deviations you are from the mean.

In statistical analysis, things are often evaluated against a p (probability) of 0.05 (or 5%), which also corresponds to a z-score of 1.96 (or roughly 2).

So, when you’re looking at your data, things with a z score >2 or <2 would correspond to findings that are “statistically significant,” in that you’re at least 95% sure that your findings aren’t due to random chance.

As others here have pointed out, z-scores closer to 0 would correspond to findings where they couldn’t be confident that whatever was being tested was any different than the control, akin to a boring paper which wouldn’t be published. “We tried some stuff but idk, didn’t seem to make a difference.” But it could also make for an interesting paper, “We tried putting healing crystals above cancer patients but it didn’t seem to make any difference.”

Here’s hoping a democratic socialist turns out to be more progressive than your standard “not actually liberal” democrat.

Reminds me of the Linux stats. Desktop adoption is really taking off!: 2.6% -> 2.7%

So brave

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

In the videos I’ve seen there are usually at least 5 ice guys with body armor and at least a couple have rifles. Good luck against that with your little pew-pew.

Hopefully there will be some commentary on media consolidation and how successfully propagandized the american public is.

I think they just peered over the edge and were convinced when they saw sphincter after sphincter.

If each segment is 5 feet, none of the snakes are 12 feet long and the first line on the right starts at -15ft, according to the values we can see. This snake police lineup length scale is nonsense!
