What this graph shows however, is that there are a ton of degrees that seem to teach hardly any transferable skills

This graph absolutely does not show this lol...how could you possibly derive that from this graph

And sociologists are absolutely trained in statistics

I'd be really interested to see the specifics of how that data is collected, but also fucking duh recent college grads are underemployed. Also, having that degree sets people up for career advancement as they gain experience and that educational background becomes even more of a prerequisite for the jobs they're moving into

Not feeling depressed (euthymia) and feeling depressed (dysthymia) are emotional states that can be influenced by but exist independently of someone's circumstances. I encounter people who are homeless a lot in my work, and a good chunk of them are euthymic af, while there are a ton of people who have all their needs met and who are dysthymic af.

Emotional states have a lot more to do with genetic predisposition and learned behavior than most people would care to acknowledge, rather than situational factors

Definitely this, you can drink H2O no problem, but H2O2 and you're going to have a bad time. And yes, probably no need to have brominated vegetable oil in our food at all.

Some popular drinks that contain BVO include Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Fanta Orange, Fresca, Squirt, Sunkist Pineapple, and some flavors of Powerade.

Yeah all of these are killing you with sugar, too

Disney already owned 50% of Hulu, many of their shows on there are already on Disney+ outside the US. IMO this is nothing like Disney buying Star Wars or Marvel or ESPN.

Here's a list of companies that Disney created shortly before the buyout was confirmed.

Those are companies that Disney has acquired over decades, they didn't create any of them

He confessed because he got a plea deal and immunity from prosecution. The problem was the immunity only covered one jurisdiction, and he was liable in more than one jurisdiction

I blame George Bush

I'm somewhat convinced it's mostly Russian propaganda produced by Russian state-funded troll farms, which are very real

I struggle to understand lemmygrad. They advertise the instance as Marxist, but like you said they are reflexively pro-Russia and call you a western pig if you try to point out that Russia is also capitalist and not even remotely Marxist

"Tankies" as a term has been creeping from a description of people who think Stalin and Mao should be in charge again toward a description of anyone who believes even a hint of socialism should exist in society. It's basically a right-wing dismissal at this point

The political instability many nations experience today didn't develop in a vacuum though, the US and UK in particular (also others) have their fingerprints on much of Latin America and the Middle East, and much of that interference was profit-driven
