Are you implying you would want to be in solitary?

Once again, the media taking a study and pushing a narrative with it.

From age 12 to 14 and 14–16 years, the interaction term between social media use and the intercept (i.e., overall level) of social anxiety was negative and significant, indicating that increased social media use forecasted a small decline in social skills among those with higher levels of social anxiety symptoms

So, there’s no overall relationship, except a negative one once you factor in an interaction term.

Theres also nothing here that says people who spend more time on social media are more mentally “healthy.” Just that they have more friends. Or do they use social media more because they have more friends? This isn’t some slam dunk for social media.

Age of consent in the USA:

…wikipedia.org/…/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_St…

Not that I understand why it’s relevant to this discussion, but like half of states have it at 16.

Not even “some,” it’s like half

Even among the apps you list as higher risk, I’d imagine there are differences

In this case, I think it’s probably more so that it could be a lot better. Idk all the details and people always try to sneak shit in, but this (admittedly short) article sounds promising.

APRA includes language from California’s landmark privacy law allowing people to sue companies when they are harmed by a data breach. It also provides the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general, and private citizens the authority to sue companies when they violate the law.

Yeah, it’s the whole broken clock being right twice a day. And while he’s a dictator, he’s sort of in an interesting position. I read an article a while back, I think this is the one: nytimes.com/…/paul-kagame-rwanda-britain.html

I guess so. I flew a few weeks back and was so happy that the handout in the seat back pocket said it was an Airbus lol

Because they once published an anti-GMO story in 2016? That’s literally what mediabiasfactcheck says lol

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Any info on this? I’ll delete the article if true, but a quick Google search didn’t show much

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Again, literally one story in the past 15 years. Doesn’t really make sense to me

Michael Bloomberg is worth an estimated $106 billion — but you won't find him on the Bloomberg rich list (finance.yahoo.com)

His wealth has roughly tripled from $35.5 billion in 2015, making him one of only 14 people worth more than $100 billion by Forbes’ reckoning. Excluding his fortune leaves a sizable hole in the Bloomberg index.

Hey, I said illegal not unethical or immoral. Not defending anyone who is on the list lol

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

As I said in another comment, illegal /= unethical or immoral. Most people on the list used shady, yet legal, practices. Few probably engaged in outright illegal acts to obtain their wealth.

Israel withdraws troops from southern Gaza for ‘tactical reasons’ (www.theguardian.com)

Israel has pulled all of its ground troops out of southern Gaza for “tactical reasons”, the country’s army has said, raising questions about the future direction of the war as Hamas and Israeli delegations travel to Egypt for a new round of ceasefire talks....

I don’t know that anyone really believed he couldn’t do it. The issue is around what happens with your allies or political repercussions at home

Someone downvoted you for stating facts lol. Gotta love Reddit Lemmy

Isn’t that still against Lemmy.world policy?

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

It was an announcement a few months back, iirc. They also told people to stop posting entire articles in the comments and post itself (which I used to do)

To join a joke of a league though. Much better sponsorships available if she goes into a legit league

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

The women’s final four games were the most watched ESPN sporting events in history lol. At least look it up before you make inane comments

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Not a fan, just calling you out for making misleading statements. As others have pointed out, they just want a fair share, a similar percent of revenue as the men get.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, let’s solve pay inequity by forcing people to do things they don’t like!

The problem, once again, is not the lack of viewers or revenue. The women do not get the same cut that men get, AS A PROPORTION of total revenue for the league.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

It doesn’t though. That’s the problem. As a % of league profit, the pays don’t match. Women don’t get much on sales of apparel either.

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

That’s funny, imo the childish ones would be the ones judging other people’s interests

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Sports isn’t an interest?

And again, as a portion of revenue, women are paid less than men. I’m not saying they need to be paid the same, but people here seem to purposely ignore the math

But I’m not sure how that comment is a response to mine. You’re defending mocking people who like sports because it’s a business?

Are video games an interest? Or no, because there’s profit involved? Going to the gym? Nope, just business ig?

jeffw OP ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

It’s so cool to be dismissive of other people’s interests!

Yes, red states have so much cheaper housing! /s
