But contrary to the prediction of SCT, such polarization did not abate among subjects highest in Numeracy; instead, it increased. This outcome supported ICT, which predicted that more Numerate subjects would use their quantitative-reasoning capacity selectively to conform their interpretation of the data to the result most consistent with their political outlooks.

I dunno if equating numeracy with intelligence is a fair read, but an interesting study nonetheless.

Satisfactory just left early access

When I was 13 I thought “You go Holden! Tell off all those phonies!” At 18 I thought “This whiny asshole won’t stfu.” Then as an adult I realized “Oh, poor kid was dealing with a lot of unaddressed trauma.”

I personally have the opposite issue. Things often sound way too much like satire these days when they get referenced or pop up in memes, then I find a reputable article talking about it. Everything sounds like !nottheonion@lemmy.world

We did have a guy who intentionally changed a bunch of the spelling, you are right about that.

But one day if we are brave we’ll get rid of the u in a lot of British words like color and armor. But by god we will keep the British u in the word glamour!

Socks is feet out? Wouldn’t that also mean t-shirt is shirtless?

I never do random drive by grammar replies, but since you put it in your edit: affect is a verb and effect is a noun usually but the way you used it needs the verb form of effect, meaning “to bring something into being/existence”. So essentially you’re saying it’s difficult to create change in the two parties.

Note that affect can also be a noun (and is pronounced differently than the verb, with the emphasis on the first syllable), referring to someone’s demeanor. You normally see it when talking about psychology.

China did that to me too, except I didn’t miss my flight. After getting off the plane they made us go through immigration and when they asked how long I was staying I said about 3 hours. Stamped my passport with a 1 day visa haha

Not to be confused with sweetbread (pancreas)

In some states you can buy booze pretty much anywhere. I moved out of the country for awhile and when I went back home I stopped into an ice cream shop slash convenience store, and when I was surprised to see the 6 coolers of beer along the back wall I realized I’d been gone a long time.

Yeah, shouldn’t say high end, but rather non-anti-consumer

Every comedy song was by weird al

Mine does the language switch as well, but I can get cursor control if I tap and hold space before moving left or right.

So paper only is the equivalent to not cleaning your ass? You’re exaggerating-- I wasn’t advocating not washing your ass for a week.

The original argument (question) was “would you use water or paper to clean shit off your arm” and the answer for most people is “definitely neither water or paper alone, soap needs to be in there somewhere”. Limiting it to either water or paper only is a binary fallacy.

What if someone criticized you for not using soap with a bidet? That’s what bidet advocates are doing for paper users. My point was that people have different standards and that’s not a bad thing. This made me a “jerk” to you for some reason.

For the record I’ve used bidets and they’re fine (although some people probably feel that public bidets are kind of gross when compared to paper), but the cleanliness factor is pretty close in most situations IMO. It’s not like I was advocating for not washing your ass for a week or something.

No idea what you’re trying to say. Generally all people (whether bidet or paper users) use soap when taking a shower, but virtually no one uses it on their ass in the bathroom. Ergo you’re “dirty” until the shower. For you a bidet feels clean and paper users are dirty. For a “neat freak” they have to immediately wash their ass with soap and non-soap bidet users are dirty.

People have different preferences and it’s not a logical fallacy.

This question shows that people can have differing standards of cleanliness and it’s OK. Because the answer is “would you spray your arm with water only or would you use soap?” Bidets don’t use soap, so with either bidet or paper you can still feel dirty until a shower, it’s just what level of dirty you’re willing to accept.
