    I don’t like to analyze myself because I might not like what I see

    ^ Trump in an interview in 2014

    I’m angry we’re on a path to re-elect a piece of shit to lead my country, a person who knows he’s a piece of shit but actively avoids thinking about it.

    Also, I’m a woman. Segregating on gender for no damn reason also makes me angry.

      Also, segregating by gender poorly by forcing a binary choice is shitty and exclusionary in this modern world.

        for no damn reason

        Disaggregating data by gender has legit purposes. You do that to the data after the fact though. Setting up one survey for women and one for men pollutes the outcome.

        You must suck at statistics. See? I can do it too! People who misuse statistics and data to shit on women also makes me angry.

          Yes. At the time I’m commenting, 1 out of 2 questions on the “women’s” question is about the gendered nature of the question itself (50%). And 2 out of 11 on the “mens” (18%). The dataset has already been “polluted” as you describe, by the design of the questions.

              I would expect a control then, a group that is asked the question without the gendered piece. But that can’t be done here on this Lemmy community now because we’ve already seen the gendered versions of the question.

              Not like Lemmy is the place to do this sort of thing anyway. In addition to very limited population size, expect a higher rate of STEM folks compared to general population, meaning a higher rate of people who have had a 101 class level on statistics or better. Combined with sarcastic internet commenters. It all means unsubtle manipulations like this gendered question are going to fall flat.

              Then comments calling out the unnecessary, ham-handed gendering should be expected data points.

    Because my country is directly enabling and, depending on the definition, participating in a genocide and there is no one I can vote for (who would likely win) who will do even the slightest thing to stop it.

    We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. We sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be! We know things are bad, worse than bad, they’re crazy!!! It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy so we don’t go out anymore! We sit in the house and slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller and all we say is ‘please at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won’t say anything’!

    Having lived most of my life as a very angry person, I was able to achieve a point where I could love myself in 2019. This was years of therapy and self-work.

    Reasons why I was angry started with a challenging childhood and underdeveloped emotional intelligence. This made anger feel good as a response to lots of things that made me uncomfortable.

    I’m mildly annoyed with yesterday-me for leaving so many dishes in the kitchen for me to wash. He knows how I feel about that.

    I’m probably going to leave them for tomorrow-me. That guy’s a team player.
