re: Study finds GLP-1 drugs cause a drop in violent behavior
Posted by funnystuff on 7/2/26 at 7:00 am to Ingeniero
Y’all need to read this article more carefully…
They only say that that link is weaker in current users than in former users. Yes, the hopeful possibility is that the current use of GLP1 is weakening the urge to violence… but the more troubling possibility is that the withdrawal of the GLP1 is raising the urge to violence.
This paper is 100% consistent with a hypothetical story that says ending a GLP1 treatment will increase the former user’s proclivity for violence. Since the authors confusingly did not include the baseline associate for the full population (which is itself suspect), we just have to hope that the violence increase for former users is a jump that returns to baseline rather than a jump that exceeds baseline.

Their main analysis concentrated on 821 people who had used a GLP-1 medication at some point.

Across the full sample, higher levels of impulsivity and greater alcohol use were both strongly linked to violent behavior.

The strongest finding in the study was that the well-established link between impulsivity and violent behavior was substantially weaker among current GLP-1 users compared to former users

re: NFL betting models: useful or mostly BS?

Any model you build is going to pale in comparison to the models built by the multi-billion dollar conglomerates who are setting the lines. There is not world where your model will be better than theirs.
It is a simple, fundamental truth in modern sports gambling. 99.999% of the time, you are at a disadvantage. The 0.001% outlier is if you have personal information on one of the players… in which case, better watch out for the feds.

Arrogant fricks continue thinking they can micromanage complex systems, no matter how many times they’re proven wrong.
You can almost guarantee this is going to create more problems than it solves.

57% critics, 76% audience
While not a world beater score, it’s still promising any time the audience score is higher than the critic score

re: The "tax the rich" ideaology.
Posted by funnystuff on 6/24/26 at 1:39 pm to theliontamer
As a foundational ideology, you are correct that it’s a toxic and self-defeating mindset.
But all the same, it is becoming more and alluring to a larger chunk of people for a very understandable reason… too much of our economic system has drifted away from rewarding value creation and towards rewarding rent extraction.
Our economy works best when we reward those who create value. Instead, we’re seeing more people amass their wealth by extracting economics rents without creating any new value in the process. And the more we orient our political economy to reward this type of wealth extraction, the more people we’re going to see getting tricked into thinking that the solution is to simply tax the rich.

Gotcha. Well good news is that the movie is almost out, so we can soon judge it on its own merits instead of people fixating over what celebs say for the gossip mags.
If we actually get a GOTG/mad max hybrid, word of mouth will carry it. If that’s just paid influencers repeating the same talking point to keep their insider status, it’ll flop on those merits too.

So his defense to “this is going to take too much energy” is “don’t worry, you already didn’t have enough”?
