Reply to comment by the_knowing1 in [OC] TwoMinutePapers video length over time by vnjxk
It’s not common in graphs, but in UI most elements don’t go to the edge of the screen (just look at reddit). Also, because this is a moving average, you wouldn’t have any data for the first 31 videos, so that could explain this.
The 32 means that the average doesn’t take every video, it only takes the 32 previous videos

Sure is a good thing a high ranking American politician didn’t get substantial aid from a foreign adversary and then openly support that country’s ambitions

As others have pointed out, Google takes up most of the back graph. I do agree that grey probably wasn’t the best color for this, and it is confusing to compare search engines in the background and social media in the foreground

You’ve got to hand it to Russia, they really have helped Ukraine a lot through this war. They’ve also provided far more weapons than even the US

It’s still important to remind everybody what Russia is doing and not just accept it

It’s a lot easier to support democracy in theory than in practice. Are you really going to support democracy over a little bit of gerrymandering if it means your party wins? If your party is anti-democratic, are you really going to vote for the other guys?

There’s a difference between data being unscientific and data being bad. If there were better data available, I’d agree, but the democracy index is still a fine way to show what some experts think of democracies around the world

I find this a bit confusing. Is this country of origin of prisoners? Or is this comparing Australia to other countries?

Reply to comment by liortulip in [OC] Supreme court is forecast to block student debt relief by liortulip
In theory, they could change some wording so that the debt doesn’t actually go away, but can’t be collected, so it technically isn’t debt relief, but that isn’t likely to work
Realistically, the only way this will happen is if dems get another trifecta, and with Manchin, they would probably need 51 senators. The court will say that only congress has the power to forgive debts of this magnitude and Republicans will never in a million years support this

Reply to comment by marx_marvelous__ in [OC] Supreme court is forecast to block student debt relief by liortulip
Politically, this seems like the best case scenario. Biden gets all the brownie points from trying to relieve student debt, the conservatives get blamed for stopping it, everybody gets reminded that the court is political, and there is no risk of economic impacts from spending 2 trillion dollars

If you job hop, you can make a lot more (on average, 50%, meaning lots make more) money than staying with the same company, so it’s not crazy to think somebody could see this kind of raises

I started RDR2 but dropped it because I wasn’t having fun. It was on my roommate’s PlayStation, but I’d still rather lose 60 bucks than play a game for 30 hours that I don’t like

They can make money from selling a console and a game instead of just a game. And, once you buy their console, you are more likely to buy their other games, or at least games on their consoles where they get a cut
