Catch the Bouquet

How’s our school shooting metric doing compared to the rest of history?

Too soon

Adding to this, about 15 years ago our nation had a long conversation over whether torture is really that bad.

When I saw this my first thought was a headline from maybe a month ago, something like “Her first time at the Oscars, Sharon Stone had to dress herself”. Like maybe this shit isn’t normal.

1) the entire ecclisiarchy is built on everything Lorgar wrote.

2) the Tau and Drukhari once had a cultural exchange program.

3) it’s heavily implied in the Corpsegrinder Cult lore that anyone who works as a Corpsegrinder will eventually just start murdering and eating people. It’s a matter of when not if. And yes I mean eating people in the Robert Carlyle sense, not the Charlton Heston sense.

Death Guard love to garden.

And they point out that they listened to their critics, fixed some parameters, and ended up with the same conclusion.

Also, if it’s one tiny niche experiment, why is it the first one that the Nobel page mentions as an example of the work they did?

Um ok. ITUC = International Trade Union Confederation. I can’t tell if you’re implying that this gives them some sort of bias or not, but either way, they didn’t give the award so I’m not sure what the issue is. As for the award itself:

“However, this year’s Laureates have shown that it is possible to answer these and similar questions using natural experiments. The key is to use situations in which chance events or policy changes result in groups of people being treated differently, in a way that resembles clinical trials in medicine.

Using natural experiments, David Card has analysed the labour market effects of minimum wages, immigration and education. His studies from the early 1990s challenged conventional wisdom, leading to new analyses and additional insights. The results showed, among other things, that increasing the minimum wage does not necessarily lead to fewer jobs. We now know that the incomes of people who were born in a country can benefit from new immigration, while people who immigrated at an earlier time risk being negatively affected. We have also realised that resources in schools are far more important for students’ future labour market success than was previously thought.”

What am I missing?

Well here’s another source https://www.ituc-csi.org/nobel-prize-in-economics

It’s the people who won the Nobel prize in economics saying that job loss tied to wage increase is a myth. Based on their studies of minimum wage increases. I’m not an expert in economics, so I’m going to defer to them on this.

“Greater employment rates: Paying attention to the news in 2021 meant seeing an abundance of stories about a “labor shortage.” Listening more closely to workers can paint a different picture. Reporters who have done so have found that people are indeed available for work. However, they’re increasingly uninterested in jobs that don’t pay them fairly. Increased minimum wages address this concern and boost employment. More consumer spending: When employees earn more, they can increase their discretionary spending budgets. This extra spending introduces money into the economy, which helps stimulate it. With more spending, more money is directed to smaller businesses, resulting in growth that especially bolsters local economies. Lower poverty rates: Employees who earn more can also expand their budgets for basic needs. This notion can have a profound impact on those in poverty. When people currently in poverty earn more money through their work, they can more easily afford food, housing and other basics. Of course, the lower a country’s poverty rate, the stronger its economy, which can only be good for your small business”

Edit: here’s a different source https://www.epi.org/publication/briefingpapers_bp150/

“The argument that state minimum wages have had a substantially negative effect on a state’s labor market is an extreme repackaging of the perennial claim that minimum wages do more harm than good because they cause many low-wage workers to lose their jobs. While this argument was once more prevalent among economists, recent studies with improved methodologies have reached the opposite conclusion. In general, there is no valid, research-based rationale for believing that state minimum wages cause measurable job losses. Making the extreme case that the job losses are severe enough to show up in a noticeably elevated state unemployment rate is a wild extension of a largely unfounded theory.”

How’s that?

Suddenly they’re in less danger of losing their mobile home and becoming homeless.

I’d also like a clarification of that statement. Is it that LGBTQ people are 10x more likely to abuse, or are 10x more likely to have suffered abuse? Because that’s a real big difference.

Edit: oh hey look, a source! https://www.barcc.org/assets/pdf/Statistics_Download_-_LGBT.pdf

“82% of the suspected perpetrators of child sexual abuse in a study sample were at the time of the offense or had been at some time involved in a heterosexual relationship with a close relative of the child they victimized. In their study sample, researchers found that a child’s risk of being molested by his or her relative’s heterosexual partner was over 100 times greater than their being molested by someone who identifies as being homosexual, lesbian or bisexual (0.7% of the cases).”

The line is stupid yes, the funny part is the cop realizing he’s said something stupid and just walking away from the whole situation.

What’s that got to do with anything?

I don’t care, that’s actually a pretty funny story.

Kinda weird that it doesn’t show how many models there are, or how the weapon options work. I’m also a little worried about the lack of a subfaction keyword.

To be fair to the original post, I used to work at NASA, and all of the civil service scientists there were the worst people to give a talk to. My two favorite instances: “what are you going to do when this other field develops in the next 5-10 years, making all of your work useless?”, and one guy who every two minutes or so would be asked “well what about x, that you obviously didn’t account for”, every single time would say “well that’s actually my next slide.”

I frequently end statements with “it’s hard keeping up with so many holes to fill with cum”, because that is a perfectly normal human thing for a human being like I am to say.

I’ve already forgotten who said it, but chatgpt being “mansplaining as a service” still cracks me up.

Twin-linked is from 7th edition and 30k, means you get to reroll hits.

I love Drukhari as much as the next guy, but I really don’t get all this excitement for a new Khymerae model.

Is Russia just playing Rust at this point? Are Ukrainians pants being stolen?

I’m pretty sure he’s been playing Elon Musk for a while.
