I have a peer like this. Good intentions but he has a massive ego. I do a lot of technical work and he is a project manager. He often doesn’t understand the actual issue at play and this can summarize a lot of our interactions easily.

Thankfully. I call the shots when it comes to resolving the issue. His input isn’t always necessary 🤣

Deestan, in "Understanding Motives" by Work Chronicles

Asking someone else to graph data for you to analyze is a disrespectful misunderstanding of how data analysis work.

The person graphing is doing the data analysis. They have to, at some level, to make the data presentable. If you are incapable of doing that, and your contribution is to be fully reliant on what they graph so you can look at what they make and go “huh yeah line does go up” you aren’t useful. They can tweak the data to say many things, and you wouldn’t understand it happened.

Ilflish,

You can definitely analyze a graph/chart, but unless you need help understanding a more complex representation, there’s not much you can argue with. Even if you know of a bias in it, they can just make up something about avoiding another bias or increasing focus on an area

krellor, (edited )

Maybe it depends on the domain, but I think it is perfectly reasonable both to ask or produce graphs to show data trends, qualitative behavior, relative rates, etc. I mean, looking at one chart and acting like you know better than the analyst might be a duck move but wanting the chart isn't.

Imagine if scientific papers didn't use plots to visualize data?

It is not an equation

NeuronautML, in Equation by Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Seems to me this is more like the equation that maximizes happiness for people who don’t have the mentioned things.

Plenty of people have food, money and sex, rightfully obtained from their perception, yet are still very unhappy, even suicidal. This is what you think you need. It’s not even necessarily what you need.

Or a moneyless society. Each their own

Some of these are hitting a little hard for me lately…

ptsd is real

someguy3, in Cut It Out - Loading Artist

Wouldn’t the sound come through clear through the eyes? I guess he could have fake muffled it.

Because the pumpkin didn’t yet have a mouth

someguy3,

If it’s a walkie talkie inside the pumpkin the sound will come out anywhere.

JoeyHarrington,

Guy on other end would fake the muffle.

someguy3,

That’s what I said the first time.

XbSuper, in Cut It Out - Loading Artist

Why is he in a loony bin?

logicbomb,

I believe the idea is that, because his reaction to a pumpkin pleading for help was to stab it to death, that either he discovered something about himself and couldn’t handle it, or that he was exposed to be a crazy killer type.

I think an easier explanation is that something broke in his mind because he was traumatized by the experience.

Its a metaphor

ModsAreCopsACAB,

Duh, my confusion is what the metaphor is about

marcos,

It’s a very direct metaphor for what generals do.

You saying it is not real game?

CluckN,

You don’t watch sports?

ModsAreCopsACAB,

I don’t…

RaoulDook, in The Generals' Game - B. Kliban

Generals gathered in their masses

Poisoning the brainwashed masses

Evil minds that fight with babies

Sorcerer of dark brain rabies

ArmokGoB,

OH LORD YEAH

Anticorp,

In the field the babies giggling

As the generals start their aiming

All these air fryer, broiler, sautéing, and other methods…

Y’all forgot about microwaves. Microwaves and veggies are amazing. Broccoli, carrots, etc. Microwave until a fork still has a little resistance. Add a spot of sour cream or honey and dill… Or something. Tada. So fast. So yummy.

HiddenLychee,

Okay I microwave veggies a lot because it’s convenient but we cannot pretend that the fart cloud created by microwaved broccoli is in anyway close to the delicious crispyness of stir fried or baked broccoli

troyunrau,
@troyunrau@lemmy.ca avatar

Try microwaved beets. Mmm.

venoft,
@venoft@lemmy.world avatar

Cold beets straight from a jar are actually delicious.

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

Sounds good. My parents make microwave potatoes often, and I have to admit they’re good. My microwave broke a couple years ago and I haven’t missed it, though.

Peaty,

And it retains the greatest amount if nutrients

Destraight, in "Just Season It" by Mr.Lovenstein

This comic is old

Sowhatever,

So am I. Who cares.
