  • Be careful, that's God Emperor Communist now. This is a warning.

  • In that instance, the claim is "There is evidence of X problem"

    They then provided the evidence of that problem and were ignored, the burden of proof was on the person making the claim that there was a problem, and there was a problem, they provided proof, and were ignored.

    This has nothing in common with the previous scenario.

  • That's making a positive claim about a negative outcome. "There is enough evidence to be confident there aren't structural problems" is what they're really saying.

    This doesn't work for god because there's nothing to check, there's never been any evidence for god, but there's been plenty of evidence for structural issues existing.

  • The second one is wrong, there is no god is not a claim that requires evidence in the same way there are no fairies in my fridge doesn't require evidence

  • ...Do you not realize that the same goes for god?

  • I'm excited for arm improvements.

  • I think they should use matrix

  • i'd rather they just start using .config for storing configurations and just keep the sensitive data in the profile.

  • Obviously the only real issue the american government is capable of tackling.

  • I can't see the paper on that page, just the image, is there more to it than just the image and the claim?

    What snakes have they checked?

    edit: I think this is really about identifying rattlesnakes, more than about identifying venomous snakes in general. There's two counterexamples on the "anal scale" page of wikipedia

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_scale

    the undivided end on an elapid venomous snake, and the divided on a colubrid

  • It's not even an indicator, there's places where the opposite is true, this is like the myth of the vertical slit pupils meaning they're venomous, there's no actual correlation, this just coincidentally works in areas with few snake species, but you'd have to know that ahead of time, and since there's few species wherever this does work, you might as well just learn what the venomous snakes look like so this is practically completely useless.

    This usually happens when somebody learns that in their local area this rule applies, and then assumes it applies everywhere.

  • this isn't even true

  • They even acknowledge mastodon is growing and twitter is shrinking, write this article when mastodon starts shrinking and twitter starts growing

  • They were not. I'd need a source for that.
