Mine was 36 because I was into music from the "early 2000s."

I think it counted The Corries, a folk band responsible for the surge in Celtic folk in the 70s, as being from that period, because I think that's when some albums came out. None of my most listened to pieces or bands were from then.

And yeah, those people who gave their lives were braver than I am, but I can very confidently say that I'd go down swinging and dissolve an organization in the legal battle of lifetime rather than have it meekly accept this sort of misrule.

"Oh but they'll get SUED and go OUT OF BUSINESS" honey I want you to look deep into my eyes and listen when I tell you that you have the right to vote because people were willing to lose literally everything including their lives in defense of what was right

It's nice to be able to be here and just sever yourself completely from assholes, whether they be in the trans community or out of it.

I'm sorry that you're still experiencing it, though.

On the other hand, it all depends on the numbers: how many kids of each grade are held back each year, how they do in later years, etc. And it seems likely that some of these numbers will never be available."

If this were a "pretty basic stats error," I think the author would be more confident.

"I’m not sure what to think. On one hand, Wainer, Grabovsky, and Robinson are experts on educational measurement, their argument about selection effects is persuasive, and their meta-argument about skepticism given the history of education hype also makes sense to me. . . .

This feels like litigating whether you're playing in sewage or filth, but, uh... I'd go with "no," since I think bullying requires some intentionally directed action towards the victim. Audience size, ease of identification of target, and public viewing matters, though (Libs of Tiktok is bullying).
