  • There’s a teensy bit of data massaging to make the approval rating appear lower… in my opinion of course.

    The respondents were asked to rank “acceptability of the killers actions” on a scale of 1 to 5.

    Assumin’the average “young voter” views gunning strangers down as:

    [1.very unfavorable]

    (You would, if asked about murder, say it was bad As a rule. right? I would too. Ya know, unless it was justified.)

    Looking at it that way, the same data looks a lot different suddenly.

    33% young voters still think the killer is completely unjustified.

    7% think there was some justification

    19% are undecided if the CEO deserved to die for what he did

    24% think the killer was mostly justified… But have reservations

    17% believe he was 100% in the right

    I got a little free with the interpretations but you get the idea, You could decide to frame the data this way too. there’s a saying: statistics don’t lie but statisticians do. Here’s my 100% true alternate title using the data but presented with the story I want to tell:

    67% of Young Voters at Least Partly Approve of Killers Actions













  • I was 2 r 3 months into my sanity break from Reddit when my friends (who knew i was a redditor) started sending me msgs like “lol what are you gonna do now?”

    Viewed the API drama from afar, then read some article mentioning lemmy. Tried a few instances but a lot had limits on new accts. Beehaw told me to pound sand. sh.itjust.works was the one that had the fewest roadblocks to join. Now i got a few accts spread out over grad, bear, and here.

    People seem to pine for reddit (or at least more content/users) but i like the small community. You can actually be heard here, and so too can you hear speech that isn’t the same fucking meme ad-nauseam
