You are mathing wrong. The GP is correct, except for the fact that it applies to the Y axis.

(… it’s a much smaller change on the X axis anyway, something with 10 zeros before the first non-zero digit…)

Most people are way above (possibly in the top 1%) the average in a bunch of things.

It’s not possible with authoritarianism either :)

Unless you count the version everybody insists on calling “social democracy” nowadays. That one can be done.

The Jedi are against starting a war without the consent of the people that will actually suffer the consequences of that war.

At least when it’s not one of them on the line, anyway.

The thing is, if any of then gave a shit, they’d have her free shortly after leaving, without attacking anybody.

Hum… Not yet.

Up to now, just a bunch of mislead nobodies faced any consequence. And a guy that was actively blocking investigations. Nobody that really participated in it got any consequence by doing it.

The funny thing is, that law was pushed by the same party that is now in power, and was spoken really well about by most of the judges criticizing it now.

Unless he has some kind of mental problem, he must not stop forming himself.

He can’t be from another time if he is there right now…

I have to say… On all predictions about how the World War 3 would start, I imagine absolutely nobody guessed “NATO against the USA”.

There are only a handful of countries around the world with that habit of starting international wars.

(Civil wars are a different matter.)

“Work logic” is the best expression I never noticed I needed a name for.

You claimed…

Dude, you are replying to my first post on the conversation.

Anyway, that one study is about a very widely known cause. People don’t change their minds about those easily, neither for supporting nor for opposing it. Also, beware of social studies that find tiny effects.

A bit of a long shot, isn’t it:

Unfortunately, the same poll showed that the protest did not have any measurable effect on feelings about the radical group, or climate policy

So, people didn’t change the way they see the protesters, didn’t support their cause any bit more, but were more sympathetic to people that protested in a less disruptive way (without actually agreeing with them).

If you want to call this a win, ok, but it’s a really tiny one.

Nah, just get personal PR managers for the involved people, let the company fail and make sure to move on before that.

The decision makes are exempt from consequences.

Whatever joke is too mundane for XKCD, you can be sure that Monty Python has already made.

Well… help yourself.

Enough to make a RAID 6. As few as possible.

Summer is a much better time to celebrate anyway. I don’t get why Europeans decided to do it in winter.

Anyway, it doesn’t stop being an important day… after an arbitrary week-and-half delay.

“Slavery-like” is not slavery.

That said, those people were in slavery. It’s just that the company is being persecuted for 2 other related crimes (slavery-like conditions and human traffic).
