I’ve been asking myself the exact same thing.

The top level comment on this thread, to which you complained about graphical syntax, is discussing the MAU decline over the past 30 days.

If you start at zero, the exact same data is shown as when there is a clearly labeled breakpoint. It contributes nothing other than obscuring the data points and scope of discussion is only for the past month. You’re not making a cogent point.

Just like I said before, a 5% decline is not an insignificant drop or “very slightly declined.” Expanding the scope of the argument to show that it’s actually a far steeper decline in user engagement and then arguing the opposite point is misinterpreting the data. Expanding the scope just shows that the trends are continuously showing declining user engagement with no organic growth other than Reddit fucking up.

Showing the data over an entirely different timescale than what’s currently under discussion means nothing in this context to illustrate your point.

Starting from 0 on the y axis just means you need to change the scale, which like I said makes reading any data points incomprehensible, or end up with an unnecessary amount of whitespace.

All starting at 0 would do is ensure that you have no way to accurately gauge the data points values. It would also just compress the data to an incomprehensible smudge of a line.

The starting point is just so you can adequately see trends for both plots shown and is quite sane. I also don’t know if I could call an ~5% decline and clear trend minimal either.

Exactly. There isn’t anything about this that is actually news or noteworthy. A low enrollment club with the goal of making waves isn’t being endorsed by a faculty member that doesn’t want to deal with the headache for a club that’s going to die again in two years.

This is just normal University administration and operation and yet here we are reading an article about it from a major news outlet.

My Vet thinks my cats name is Oliver. He doesn’t know that though and responds only to ‘Cat’

I always considered Birth by Sleep to be the last good entry to the series. Admittedly I never played the actual game of 358/2 and only got the cinematic version from the collection.

I was a massive fan of 1 and 2 as a kid and did a full series playthrough prior to the release of 3. I had a blast through BBS, but my god it was a slough in the later games(including 3).

The user above is wrong. Blocking is only one-directional and you won’t see comments and posts from them any longer, but they still see the things you posts.

Ours gets a single can of wet food(the smaller fancy feast ones) for dinner and then about a quarter cup of dry kibble spread out in 3 smaller meals throughout the day(by an automatic feeder). He’s a former fat cat though so he’s on a strict diet and not allowed to graze.

This seems…unenforceable. they’ll catch the low hanging fruit and it gives marketplaces incentive to pretend like they care, but the burden of proof to show someone is using fake reviews or view/likebots is kind of high.

Seriously. There is either some serious misconduct going on or this police chief definitely didn’t come up with a polite enough excuse not to attend their bosses bosses boss’s church fundraiser.

As someone who also only drinks black coffee I agree. Their signature taste is literally burnt because of the way they roast their beans. It’s terrible.

Most continental breakfasts I’ve seen run from 6-9AM and I’ve always interpreted it as a sneaky tactic hotels use to usher guests quickly out the door given that standard checkout time is usually 11AM.

Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!

You’d be better suited just having a user select that they are comfortable dating a trans individual because it will likely come up very early in the dating process anyway.

Forcing someone to identify as a gender that doesn’t make them comfortable is just going to result in them not using your app and is frankly kind of a dick move overall. Your suggestion would just create an app that was suited for chasers, not trans users.

Normally I’m not one to even entertain the thought of commenting on a political thread, but I feel it would be disingenuous to click the button without any feedback in this case. This decision leaves me with a large enough lack of confidence in the future moderation of this community(especially given we’re in an election year) such that I can’t in good faith leave it on my feed and I will be blocking this comm after this comment.

While I agree that Ozma deserved a ban for spam, the justification used for this is frankly appalling. Misrepresentation of bias as bad-faith, especially with the admission that largely good sources were used is unacceptable.

Yup, me too. I used to be able to get lunch for a week with $20 back in high school in the mid-late 2000’s. Almost everywhere had a dollar menu where you could get a pretty decent meal for a few bucks. Over time the portions got smaller and more expensive though to the point where you can’t really do that anymore.

The $5 footlong hasn’t existed for years (honestly maybe a decade) at this point. It’s like a $10 footlong now.

You are a terrible human being. Stop victim blaming.
