  • You cannot directly compare two populations without accounting for differences in size. Doing otherwise is very bad data science. That’s why it’s per 100,000 and thus takes size out of the equation. Which is good. That’s a confounding factor that is trivial to deal with. Given my previous observation that many US states have populations directly comparable to other countries, the “comparing states with countries” complaint goes from vaguely plausible to inane immediately.

    Thank you for defining how averages work?

    It became a slur back when I was a child in the 90s because people used it as a general perjorative. Doesn’t help that it once innocently described a vulnerable minority. When cunts like you decided to use it as a slur, they tied said vulnerable minority to the concept of “this thing is bad” and harmed that community.

    I’m not policing your speech. I’m calling you a cunt for using a decidedly shitty term that’s been shitty for decades.
