  • Britain did brexit and a bunch of other countries elected right wing nut jobs in response to globalization, not just the us

  • Probably 'Talos Principle'. I still haven't finished it though. A tier puzzle game for me. Maybe S tier by the time I finish!

  • You're wrong about the state of the usa, but right about how Americans are coping - by pretending its not happening. It's pretty similar to how we all cope with climate change

    Its funny how no one gets confused about lawyers having to practice law, etc. We need better PR.

  • They don't care about the quality of television. Writing a story that goes on and on and offers the possibility of several spinoffs is the equivalent of micro-transactions in video games : they make more money that way.

    Capitalism only maximizes money, it doesn't maximize quality. It eats quality to make more money.

  • What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up?

    Jump

  • I also got into disc golf over the pandemic. I hope the sport sees a lot of growth. I like that courses don't require much upkeep or forest clearing

  • same, I assume you have heard of / watched the train wreck that was Action Park?

  • If I add in the 85+ to the disney calculations it only makes your case worse (drives the # higher). I left it out to be nice.

    Would you seriously take your family to disney as long as less than 10 people a day died there? Like get your head out of the #s for a second think with your common sense.

    Lets do another really simple one. Imagine a playground near you serving kids 5-14. Are you taking your kids as long as less than 13 kids died there last year? Or are you maybe thinking its unsafe after 1 death? WHY?

    You seriously are not understanding the importance of comparing representative groups and this 'compare any slice of the country to the entire country 1:1' method is ludicrous, nothing to do with burning man

    edit: hmm the park example is complicated by the fact we don't know how many citizens the park servers. Im finding numbers ranging all over, from 2k to 10k to much higher in cities. For this example we can use a city park with 10k annual visitors, so we would expect 1-2 deaths a year at this park and not bat an eye yes? Either way I think you get my point. Good luck

  • fucking hell mate, do you think selection bias is a fictional concept inapplicable to your calculations or are you going to continue to pretend that taking an entire countries population and comparing it to any sliver of the country 1:1 doesn't fail basic representativeness analysis?

  • I like how you chose casino, establishments known to especially attract the 85+ cohort, which I didn't even include in my 10 a day disney # to be nice. How many 85+ you think they got at burning man?

    Do you think 10 people a day die at a single disney park behind the scenes? You're dying on this hill?

    Jump

  • Haha I don't care so much about burning man as much as this method you have.

    So by your math, Somewhere like disney with 50k visitors a day is still remarkably safe as long as less than 10 people a day die there?

  • Do you have any hospitalized people there? Because the USA has 919,649 hospital beds. Anyone needing assisted living? Because the US has 810,000 people in assisted living. Now the 70,000 number doesn't seem so big eh?

    My point is that 'people capable of going to an event' is already a helluva selection, especially when you compare it to the population that includes all those sick people.

  • Something 'middle class' Americans may want to notice:

    When people are living in abject poverty, you are comparatively 'rich'.

    Anger at the 'rich' is at an all time high.

    The 'true rich' are out of reach of the poor.

    As income inequality grows, this will get worse.

  • check again it was up to $575 this year

    Ive never been to burning man. I went to Coachella a LLOOONNGG time ago when it was hippies rolling around in the dust. Coachella ain't that anymore, it's instagram rich kids and tech bros. I assume the same thing has happened to burning man.
