<social scientist rant> For the love of god, stop saying “correlation is not causation” as if it’s a grand revelatory statement that invalidates everything. Of course correlation isn’t causation. It’s CORRELATION. Correlation is its own thing; it can manifest in a full range between strong and weak; and opens up key questions about why two (or more) things are correlated. If things are correlated that means they are hooked together in some way for some reason statistically. And that matters in its own way. If X and Y are correlated, but X doesn’t cause Y, who cares? They’re CORRELATED. So the next question is Why? How? Causation is not the only thing that matters. </social scientist rant>

@toddo of the two, only causation is useful for passing judgment. and some people really like to judge

For Americans looking at people posting in Celsius temperatures: don't try to convert, just remember this...

Zero is freezing,
Ten is not.
Twenty is warm and
Thirty is hot
(And forty is DAMNED hot)

@realtegan reminds me of a mixed-country vegas holiday
american: it's gonna be 95 today
canadian: 95? THAT'S NOT A TEMPERATURE
me: it's about 35
canadian: fuck, that's hot

You know I really hate the word “dispensing”, for no reason I can put my finger on.

Semi-related: we have a new appliance that uses this forbidden word and it has quickly become my least favourite appliance, despite “dispensing” one of my favourite items (coffee). I’m profoundly conflicted about this.

Debian Users - Be aware the maintainer of the KeePassXC package for Debian has unilaterally decided to remove ALL features from it. You will need to switch to keepassxc-full to maintain capabilities once this lands outside of testing/sid.

@keepassxc is this specific to the debian distro or does it affect other distros that use apt?

@toddo it's funny, literally everyone feels the same, and i have terrible allergies normally but i felt nothing. even walked home from the library. maybe i'll pay for this by having my soul ripped from me and eaten by wolves

i first filed this on , where it was accepted and thrown away without explanation. which is why i continue to become disenamoured of the platform. but i told @grimalkina i'd share science tidbits from this cat book.

The fear of artificial life is intimately tied up with the word robot itself, which first appeared in the 1921 science fiction play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), written by the Czech author Karel Čapek. In the play, artificial people—robots—are produced in a factory by the Rossum company. Eventually the robots, who can think for themselves, rise up in rebellion and exterminate almost all of humanity.… The word robot was derived from the Czech roboti, which refers to a serf-like forced laborer.

I feel like I should find more people to follow 🤔 where is there thoughtful science content, social science preferably, and maybe just more fun and joyful vibes around these parts 💐

@grimalkina @stephaniepixie it's not social science but i'm reading a book about how cats always land on their feet and there's a surprising amount of science in it. happy to share tidbits if it helps
