I’m curious how you’d characterize yourself then
It’s not a meaningful contribution. Judging someone in person, sure. Judging someone when you have a platform people pay attention to, yeah. Random comment on Lemmy? No one gives a shit. I fully recognize my own pointlessness in all this, especially this far down in the comments.
My mistake. I believed you to be proposing a solution to the evil proposed. Not idly judging people with no meaningful contribution toward making things better.
You seem to believe that I think it a justification for evil. I do not, people should not do such things and they are shitty people for doing them.
I’m saying that the idea of some good people doing the right thing fixing the problem is naive and doomed to failure and a real solution to the problem has to be bigger than the lazy “just no one be evil” proposition you seem into to champion.
No. That putting the onus of change on individuals is a losing proposition. The incentives have to change or no number of good people will fix it. I hear the French have had very effective solutions in the past.
It’s a big company. Someone’s going to play.
You cannot directly compare two populations without accounting for differences in size. Doing otherwise is very bad data science. That’s why it’s per 100,000 and thus takes size out of the equation. Which is good. That’s a confounding factor that is trivial to deal with. Given my previous observation that many US states have populations directly comparable to other countries, the “comparing states with countries” complaint goes from vaguely plausible to inane immediately.
Thank you for defining how averages work?

Because US states have populations and areas comparable to other countries. Just the US topping the charts is expected. How many states you have to get through to see other countries is interesting.
How is a per-capita incarceration rate, with a reference to the superset included directly on the plot, misleading? Other than including more than El Salvador for the sake of external reference, which is almost certainly a size issue.
Well yeah, you have to pat dry. But you still get cleaner and use way less tp (this may vary on how much fiber you have in your diet).
I’m also in camp sequel, though I could be persuaded to camp squirrel.
