    Tbh I think I was skimming too much by the end there and misunderstood his point about n bins. Mea culpa.

    On a general level I am not a huge fan of playing up the difficulty of mathematics in public facing work. Sufficiently advanced mathematics is hard for literally everybody. That's just how it be. It takes work and practice like any other skill. But by the same token it's not insurmountable for the vast majority of people.

    I think labeling discrete statistics as "hard" is too often extrapolated to mean "too hard for normal people" and that's both wrong and inherently destructive.

    You're talking about a population with 10% of college grads (i.e. well above the median) that think Judge Judy is on SCOTUS.

    I wanted to reply to him but this really fucking caught me off guard and I don't know what to believe in this day an age. Please tell me this was hyperbole.

    I take it back. Just more proof that the way sampling is done, how questions are asked and how the stats are read is super fucking important.

    I'm sorry but if I take a woman home from the club, take off her skirt, and a big fat donkey dick flops out then I'm going to be pissed and kick a bitch out. Majority of trans people are not post op, and my dick wants a vagina. Sorry not sorry.

    Pls. The average dick size is 5.5 inches. Lol I'm kidding. But no, really they're not often that big. Tbh though the number of people that have sex with a trans person even after making statements like this is way higher than you'd believe or think.

    The number of trans women that are murdered after a straight man sleeps with them and then mentally emasculates himself is too damn high.

    Compared to all other times in history? Is there still work to be done? Of course. Are we also at the point where some of the most "racist" things people are outraged about are things like prom girls in kiminos or teens smirking while having a drum beat in their face or white shoes during Feburary? Yes indeed we are. Weve come a long way in even my lifetime and watching the same people who used to tell me to treat everyone as individuals turn the corner and start judging everyone else by their skin color is the reason I personally bring up the straight white males (also I am one), because some of you are incredible hypocrites about it.

    The donkey dick was me attempting humor in my statement of "I want to have sex with a person with feminine features, including a vagina, and if that trans woman doesnt check off enough of those boxes then she is not being pursued". They shouldn't feel bad though, even people born with typical female anatomy dont check all my boxes, and they all have vaginas!

    I just find this hard to take this seriously when there are real examples every day of that same ol "actually racist" racism. How many unarmed black kids gotta get shot by cops before we stop talking about white girls in kimonos and talk about systemic racism? You choose to miss the forest for the trees son

    The fact only 66 percent answer Kagan, and that 22 percent chose Pierce, 6 percent chose Kerry, and 10 percent chose Sheindlin is still a massive fucking problem.

    Maybe dig a little into who is actually shooting black teens in large numbers. Shall I judge every race by the worst of them? Thats what I do when Im trolling man.

    I didnt know being a cop was now a race. I didnt know I should hand wave cop murder cause poor people also kill poor people.

    Or maybe we can talk about both problems at once. Idk bro, your whataboutism isnt it.
