After living in Asia for 30 years, I never understood why "westerners" insisted on this "meat replacement con game", rather than adopt delicious dishes of all kinds, from snacks and desserts to healthy Yong Tao Foo (tofu with some fish and veggies).
@hansw@mastodon.social Great I think that will giveus a foundation to work with.
So Now ill provide some data, let me explain a bit how the granger causality test works so we can understand what would be considered valid data.
Generally causality tests are how we determine data shows causality rather than correlation. To do this the dependent variable is observed following some change. Since one event preceeds the other, presuming this happens consistently across many populations, then we can be confident that there is causality between them.
So for example we will look at how the homicide or violent rates of a population are effected in the decade or two immediately following changes in laws with guns. The question we need to answer is if making guns illegal, or restricted, causes homicide and violence (of any type) to go up , down, or maybe has no effect on it at all. We can look at both cases where guns are made illegal/restricted, as well as cases where gun laws are relaxed and see if there is a consistent pattern.
This way we can test to see if guns do in fact prevent violent crimes, or if they cause them, it will also address arguments where other forms of violence, like knife violence may have otherwise been prevented, or perhaps caused by the lack of guns. So it covers all the arguments at once.
Attached are several graphs of this nature. I can provide dozens more of this same nature from many more countries if you'd like. I am limited to only 4 images per post so ill post 4 such graphs here.
I will decide if i want to subscribe to the newsletter AFTER I FINISH READING THE DAMN ARTICLE.
If while i'm reading the article you obscure my view, all you are gonna do is for me to close the damn modal and won't subscribe to shit.
The fact that website managers keep doing this shit shows that we are truly on the wrong lane on website design practices.
Nobody owns a hashtag 😂
If you need a hashtag to make you feel safe as a black person, consider not using the internet. I’m a black person and I’m doing just fine, the problem is not the #fediverse, it’s not #Fediblock, and it’s not the skin color of the other users either.
Richest people in UK ‘use more energy flying’ than poorest do overall

Culture has been destroyed by allowing unintelligent people in the spaces that used to belong to intelligent people, without strict filters, white and blacklists, and tall walls, It is impossible to create a space free of stupidity, in the real or virtual world.
Used to be that all you had to do is tell the truth and people would filter themselves out.
Stick a paper saying BOOK CLUB on the door of a classroom and nobody that didnt belong there would enter, but now It's different.
