Idk but it still hasn’t happened.

Diddy was never worth that much and SBF’s worth was built on lies.

The Olympics happen every 2 years.

Elections happen every 6 months.

Combining your article with UCR data, that’s about .3% arsons.

We have .1 arsons per 1000 ppl annually in the US. Looks like the rate for firefighters is about twice that

It’s a trope that people jack off to fire?

I was thinking more about the “can’t force me to make a cake for a gay wedding” thing

That’s actually pretty crazy. For one, it’s wild that they let multiple accounts go to your one email. Second, it’s wild that multiple people just happened to randomly type in your email

Imagine if you lived there. Must be torture to be in all the national headlines for this insanity

Boyle is probably the biggest name to hop on the digital hype train early on, so this isn't super shocking.

I've actually done analyses with OECD data. It's terrible. This is about as good as it gets. Countries don't report these data points very reliably. You get some that are a decade old, some that are much newer.

The real bias is in the use of "non-emergency surgery" as a data point. Look at time to see a specialist and you'll get a much different picture. (edit: spoiler alert, the US sucks. ask me about healthcare scheduling if you want me to nerd out for a bit)

Beyond what the article mentions (more people opting for retirement communities/assisted living/nursing homes), changing dating trends, better physical health for seniors, increasing divorce rates, etc., Id doubt there are that many other factors.

Did you have a rebuttal to the specific claims in this article, like chlamydia (plus gonorrhea, syphilis) tripling among seniors in the past decade? It certainly sounds like it’s increasing to me, but I’m not an expert on this

Or, y’know, that Iran (along with a couple others, like Syria) is a primary funder of Hezbollah. Could also be that
