Weaponized polls.


Edit: They closed the thread.

Maybe they should move it to the internal mod forum to discuss it.

83% of the people who answered feel conversation is stifled and Final Friendworker decided it was the good ole unproductivity that needed locking it up

[marrec]

Is there any actual checking in this study to see of anyone who killed themselves had actually watched this show, or is it just a datapoint that the show came out?

No, just Holt-Winters forcasting and quasi-Poisson regression to show an associative increase around a specific time-frame.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

hey era mods, PROTIP:
its those fucking 16.5% "I always say WTF I want, because I'm protected" who are literally the cause of the other 80%+ of your site feeling its a shit forum for conversation

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

If I was gonna kill myself, I'd explicitly point to my ban on restera as the cause, and have a catchy hashtag premade to get #resetinpeaceera trending

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I seem to recall when that 13 reasons why show came out, there was a ton of press coverage about teen suicide being a shady source of entertainment, and much hand wringing about its hitherto-unknown-to-that-pundits existence, even though its supposedly based on some best selling YA book or something, so I think "hugely increased media coverage about suicide" is technically a result of that show being made, but not in the way era are portraying that.

[marrec]

Neil Gorsuch was sworn in as a Supreme Court judge in April 2017, the month with the 28.9% increase in suicides among boys aged 10-17.

Makes you think.

[VomKriege]

Maybe true maybe bullshit but someone on Kiwi claims they had second or third hand accounts that the mods that left did so because the site is trending downwards and they realized it was never gonna be as big as GAF.

Grain of salt and all that.

[thetylerrob]

Drawn to death's release caused a 28.9% increase in suicides among boys aged 10-17

[marrec]

David Jaffe must be stopped.

[marrec]

The conclusion to the studies Abstract is intentionally misleading:

"The release of 13 Reasons Why was associated with a significant increase in monthly suicide rates among U.S. youth aged 10 to 17 years. Caution regarding the exposure of children and adolescents to the series is warranted."

The significant increase in monthly suicide rates among US youth aged 10-17 was driven by young boys. To leave that information out of your conclusion is fucking suspect.

[Boredfrom]

People who think Walter White was supposed to be a hero are weird.

You’re right. Tony Montana > Walter White.

It is pretty hilarious how people became Walter White "fans";  I really think they read the show wrong.. like he's not actually a tough guy, the hat isn't supposed to be "cool" and he's supposed to be a sociopath.

They even completely expose his only redeeming quality; that he was allegedly "doing it for his family."

I'm at an elevated risk of care-posting here, but the reason people became Walter White "fans" is toxic masculinity.

I shall say no more to spare you all the bullshit that would surely follow.

I remember that Wired article, it was terrible.

Breaking Bad is only good for like, 23 episodes from the end of Season 1 into Season 2.

It gets amazing again once it becomes a show about Hank Schrader.

I'm going to be honest, I stopped watching it at some point early in season 5 because it had long before that point become a comic book show instead of a character examination. I might finish it at some point though.

For some reason I have the post about a RE dude complaining about Disney not pushing Marvel merch and toys enough in stores and saying they put more focus on Disney Princess stuff and it just dawned on me that this is a grown man hanging out in the little girls toy section because all the Marvel stuff is in the boys action figure section at every store and it takes up more space than Star Wars/WWE/Transformers/whatever else.

Breaking Bad has been (an amazing) comic book show from frame 1 of episode 1, up until the last shot.
Which doesn't imply that it doesn't have deep characters, it just hides them under exaggerated plots and an hyper charged, stylized world.. but i mean it starts with him holding a gun to the camera like a Tarantino movie.

which wouldnt be a problem if it was some hot + happening 'underground bad boy of videogames' club getting all the scoops from all the insiders and breaking all the news first.
You'd still have queues to get in longer than the discard pile the bouncers kick out.

Como Mexicano te puedo decir que no quieres un gobierno en cama con Estados Unidos. Yo jamas he vivido una situacion como la de los Venezolanos, pero aun asi, la violencia y pobreza aqui esta directamente relacionada con US y los politicos corruptos de este pais. supongo que es un circulo vicioso? Ser pobre y lleno de violencia, pero sin crisis humanitaria? tal vez.

Es cierto que existen prioridades y si Maduro se tiene que ir y evitar que mas gente muera de hambre que entonces eso se detenga primero. Sin embargo a mi no me van tampoco a decir lo que es vivir en un pais repleto de violencia y pobreza , donde US metio manos despues de una revolucion y creeme, apesta.

Dios mío, estamos jodidos per no tan jodidos como los venezolanos. Ten un poco de perspectiva y deja de tragarte lo que te dice la pseudo izquierda mexicana.

I consider myself polyamorous about a year ago as well and that came as a bit of a shock to her at first. It was a learning process for her but she loved me for who I am and accepts that side of me now. And I'll always love her for that. She's an open-minded person in general too so that helped a lot. I actually haven't had any luck when it comes to having sex with another girl besides my girlfriend but at least where we both currently stand, it's an option for me should the opportunity arises.

As this situation develops, please remember to keep this discussion civil. Maduro is an actual dictator who has regularly employed violence against his own people; emotions are therefore bound to be running high. It is not off-limits to support his ouster, but please avoid cheerleading for bloodshed on any side. We will issue bans if things get out of hand.

Prior to seeing it on the second day of release, I told my friend that I talked to a bunch of people who saw it opening night, and said that the majority of them cried at least three times. My friend considered this a spoiler and got pissed at me. Was I in the wrong?

See, everyone is different, but I'd personally be annoyed because it intimates that a certain type of event happens. The most I like to hear from someone personally is "yes I liked it" or " no I didn't like it'.

The surprise of the moment and deciding to not show her getting into position is exactly what elevated this into a legendary tier episode. What a lot of you despised is the same thing that got crowds of people to pop along with all of my friends. Those reaction videos are going viral. People fucking loved it. That moment loses the rush of adrenaline if you kill the surprise.
