Is this p-hacking?
Nah, that’s another cut up with very little of the interview

If there was a government-mandated monopoly on coffee and it was sold in L/s, we probably would.
I absolutely understand the anger at the Democratic party. I mention several useful activities to work toward fixing its many failings. The Republican party is strictly worse. Giving equal support to both is counterproductive.
Yes, that is precisely what I was attempting to say. Thanks
The problem is there isn’t anything “useful” for understanding humans [in evolutionary psychology]. Yes we can come up with plausible evolutionary justifications for behavior like cooperation, but they are basically untestable and useless for predictions.
Edited to clarify I mean specifically evolutionary psychology.
This is an incorrect framing of the situation. You aren’t being asked for a Yes/No vote on Democrats. You are being asked if you prefer Democrats or Republicans. Or for this election, if you prefer Democracy or Fascism. If you vote “no preference”, that does not communicate “I prefer the Democrats, but want them to move further left”, either logically or politically.
There are lots of ways to communicate desired policy changes: letter-writing, primaries (including campaigning/funding for candidates), protests, marches, press, social-media, etc. Voting against your interest is not one of them.
Perhaps not every disability benefit is, but Social Security Disability Insurance and State Disability Insurance certainly are.
I think the “correct” usage of acronym is only when it is spoken as a word. But language evolves and all that.
You can see the tension in the way MW defines it (including the extended description). Like: here’s the definition of the word, but some people use it when they actually mean initialism. This is in contrast to your more concise and cohesive definition of “[abbreviations] that take the first letter from each word”. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acronym
It hard to see this as anything other than a bad faith comparison.
It is important to consider the entire life cycle of LNG, but a more even-handed author would conclude we should address these inefficiencies (e.g. via regulation), rather than fixating on promoting coal.

Ha, I love the backsplanation that they are small and yellow like corn.
Based on what I know of Imposter Syndrome and the Dunning-Kruger effect, it seems you’re at your most competent when you feel like you’re at your least.
I’m not sure how you come to that conclusion, even with the internet meme version of the Dunning-Kruger effect. In the meme version, the incompetent think they are most competent, but I don’t think it follows that the most competent would think they are least competent.
I would summarize the actual Dunning-Kruger effect as: people tend to think they are a bit above average, and actual skill factors in only slightly. Worth emphasizing that these results are over groups of people, and individuals have extreme variation.

Lemmy without politics is kinda a ghost board. There is maybe 3 or 4 new posts a day.
I think your approach of blocking any user who posts about politics is eliminating the most prolific posters when 95% of their stuff is non-political. This is not to say your approach is bad, just that it doesn’t actually represent “Lemmy without politics”.
For anyone wondering, this doesn’t actually work, because the bananas will realize they are upside-down.
I think transforming “it’s possible to think without language” into “language is not a tool for thought” is an overreach. Definitely a lot of our internal voice is post-thought, but crystalizing those thoughts into words can provide footholds for further thought. Some would argue it’s not possible to think through a complex issue without writing:
Sisyphean Effort is actually a thing
