For example, they said they were repeatedly told before the company conducted layoffs in June that layoffs wouldn't happen.

The same with API charges to 3rd party app creators.

So, should I caution myself when looking in all boxes because you once saw a snake crawl into one this one time? What your saying with this snake example is not anecdotal evidence, it is an eye witness account and what your stating is a fact as far as you know it. Once you apply it to a broader idea or rule, your using a fallacy to to prove your point and, while it may seem and feel compelling (as many fallacies do), it is not a valid argument.

It’s like scooping the ocean into a cup and showing everyone that the ocean doesn’t have trash because your limited observation shows this is true.

Yes, I would have bought it. I love the mechanics of MM with the whole time system, impending doom, and the way it was familiar but oddly off.

I get what you’re saying, but this is what they call anecdotal evidence. Plus, the article doesn’t claim that a person’s choices can not affect their financial outcome, it says that [edit: “biased decision-making”] alone do not account for the amount of income inequality prominent in the countries studied.

What you’re saying may be true, but if a terrible fate befell one of you, you would both have the assets to weather it. However, someone in the lower income bracket would not, no matter what choices they made, for reasons many times beyond their control.

I don’t eat cereal that much these days, but I love the Golden Grams type cereal, whatever brand. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is solid second choice, tho. These days tho, I go with the more adult cereal… being a healthy adult is kinda lame sometimes.

This is it, and the great thing is the Aldi brand is like $2 and tastes just as good.

Then is the reason that no Reddit posts appear on the search because Reddit is restricting access to that page?

[–] Pandantic@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Exactly. Where in the article does it say that? And without the link to the study, this screams clickbait fake (or poorly based on a real study), poorly written article made just for the purpose of pulling people to the ads on the site. Did anyone else see the endlessly scrolling ads?

Hey, this is the magazine for news. Maybe post in @chat or @askkbin if you have questions. If you’re from Reddit, try @redditmigration and subreddits are called Magazines

I understand what you're saying, but in a general sense, a person with good "Reputation Points" can be seen as contributing positively in the communities they are in. Even posting a controversial opinion and getting downvoted to hell (which I have done before on reddit) won't kill a person's Reputation Points / Karma. I'm still torn on whether it's a positive or not, but it can definitely used as an indicator of whether a person is being a positive member of the site.

However, @PositiveNoise brings up some of the negative points as well. Another being that it reinforces an echo chamber of ideas and stifles discussion, with unpopular but well-fashioned arguments being downvoted because they're disliked, not because they're harmful. And further, repost bots got tons of karma on reddit, upvoted by people who didn't see it the first time, which reduces the quality of the sub / community / magazine by burying OC that couldn't compete against an already proven successful picture / tweet / meme / etc.

It's a conversation. There are arguments for both sides imo.

What a great story. Thanks for sharing.
