  • 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research

    Jump

  • This was a preview summary of the data that's awaiting publication by the University of Melbourne. It covered 1,100 people aged 13-17, and has been written by some Professor of Educational Psychology & Learning, Faculty of Education, The University of Melbourne.

  • 40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research

    Jump

  • Just a reminder that this is a summary of an academic paper by a reputable University.

    In our research, we differentiate between interpersonal experiences, anchored in close relationships, and intergroup conflict that has generated a sense of “us” versus “them”: men versus women. We then examine how this intergroup social conflict is driving radicalisation.

  • For sure. I'm with you. It's clearly gambling regardless of the ridiculous loop hole they've decided to put it through.

  • There's a big gap between having a punt on two-up and incentivising blokes to throw their life savings away on whether 100 kids will be vaporised in class tomorrow.

  • From the article

    Most prediction markets, which have surged in popularity in recent months, are federally regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The agency views this new-fangled form of betting a "futures contract," not a type of gambling.

  • I'm really not sure about Australia. If you live up north you barely ever even wear shoes.if you live on a farm you better kick off those filthy gummies before you step in the house. If you're a tradie, you'd better kick off those filthy Blundstones before you walk in. If you live in the suburbs, it's a coin flip either way.

  • I will always repost this article: Their Bionic Eyes Are Now Obsolete and Unsupported - Second Sight left users of its retinal implants in the dark

    https://spectrum.ieee.org/bionic-eye-obsolete

    “I remember exactly where I was: I was switching from the 6 train to the F train,” Campbell tells IEEE Spectrum. “I was about to go down the stairs, and all of a sudden I heard a little ‘beep, beep, beep’ sound.”

    It wasn’t her phone battery running out. It was her Argus II retinal implant system powering down. The patches of light and dark that she’d been able to see with the implant’s help vanished.

  • Can anyone explain why?

  • Sure a per capita (18+) comparison would be more useful than NET expenditure? It might be lower but there are too many possible variables that aren't accounted for.

    For example the graph below seems to indicate younger audiences drink dramatically less beer and wine than older generations, but dramatically more Hard Seltzers than Baby Boomers.

  • Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right?

  • I was once a consultant for wine companies. I was working on helping establish a new wine brand. The client was really clear that they did not want to rely on the idea of terroir, nor their vineyards closeness to the ocean as selling points.

    My boss thought the brand should use a bunch sails and anchor imagery to sell the terroir and the vineyard's closeness to the ocean.

    I told him the client wouldn't like it as they'd been clear that's not what they wanted. He said I was wrong. If he'd told me the client was wrong that would have been fine but he insisted that I had heard it wrong and started gas lighting me.

    Turns out the client felt they'd been really clear that they didn't want a brand that focused on the terroir and closeness to the ocean and refused to pay for that round of work.
