    Underrepresented among all crimes maybe. What about racially motivated crimes? What's the ratio there?

    So no you don't actually have the paper in question nor read it? I mean I'm sure you immediately found at least the abstract and read up about cosine analyses and the software and all the papers springer liked to about it right? Or were you just happy to a tweet that seemed to confirmed your preconceptions - hey is that a lack of diversity?

    Decent link on the Murder rate it peaked right as apartheid collapsed (but was shooting up before) and dropped. If you toss out the peak the trend seems fairly stable a generally slowly rising almost liner function.

    Yes and that A) says nothing about racially motivated crimes, nor the pencentage of which is about whites being attacked. B) It makes a sweeping ''all crimes'' claim. C) At this point there's plenty of reasons not to trust official statistics given that plenty of areas are out of control.

    When you have a liberal country like South Africa that's falling apart, protecting the image of the dream is more important than solving problems. The funny thing is that the article is as dishonest as it gets.

    Headline claim: SAF has not become more violent since democracy. There's a clear spike of violence in the early 90s but we can ascribe that to the time of regime change and that's ''normal'' due to political instability. After that, it drops at above 30 every 100k people per year.... which in the best case is on par with the most violent times of the Apartheid era. Before that it was less violent. This is a dishonest article.

    Basil still not answering my question on your linked data. Have you read the paper? Are you familiar with the parameters needed to make the software in question be effective? Were any of the leading two alternatives used could be critical since both do better smaller learning samples. Are you aware of the way the analytical portion like so many things is subject to GIGO? You know back in the day I have good luck to do econometrics and mathematical modeling in a program that was happy to fail a whole class. So sitting in the refrigerated vax lab with class mates trying to program a forecasting model on for the day a nifty piece of statistical software something became clear. Its easy to be seduced into not holding to your model but start twerking again and again and eventually you are not making a predictive model but you have just synthetically created a cubic spline curve fit to you data a a walk to an F. Sure for every data point you have it will hit R practically at 1, but try it out the end of the semester for your final and your results are meaningless on the new year's data. Anyone and any paper that produces data based on an algorithm cannot be judged on a few graphs (that are not really credible larking uncertainty ranges) but how that algorithm was used.

    So I repeat have you read the paper?

    "We can't get laid because of patriarchy and white supremacy" is a pretty common thought among the far-left. Hence the frustration and anger, often fueled by radicalization by lame stream "journalists".

    Lol I've literally never heard anyone say that. What I have heard is incels complaining about feminism and emancipation and see that as the reason they can't find a girlfriend.

    Those are MGTOW, who are mainly composed of two groups of people. Those who got a partner once, turned out to be the wrong partner and think all women are just as bad. Secondly those who hardly ever talked to a girl, thus obsess about ''going their own way and not thinking about women'' while bashing women on daily basis.

    Pile of nonsense, they are also an irrelevant fringe disliked by everyone.

    I have and at no point you are making a valid argument against it. You go on a wild tangent claiming an authority that a) you don't have b) it doesn't even give validity to your argument, there's extremely little accuracy to what exactly you are complaining about. From line 3 to the end you provide absolutely nothing, it's a rant that has nothing to do with the paper but somehow you think dismisses results you do not like.

    You claim the paper author would somehow fail your test, when your own argument against it hardly addresses anything.

    So you have read the paper nice care to email a copy? Please PM me.

    Second I simply noted I was suspicious of bar graphs w/o error ranges. Nor have you provided any part of the paper that would allow any kind of informed analysis of the quality of the work. You posted graphs w/o a reference which is sort misleading. Third it is seeming a weak Journal I am not inherently impressed (also I would for example be much impressed with a abstract from somebody touting the computational model conclusion about something in society from the journal of econometrics than a social science journal). As I said I see if can scrape up the necessary access to find the journal, but my only option is the not exactly great ISU in Idaho and I'm not certain how wide their online access is. Again I freely admitted I was speculating on just the abstract and on graphs that I would have failed back in the day without some uncertainty indication. On that I stand my ground it not quality data display. But it would nice if you would the associated text for the graphs.

    Quite ironic that he's using that as an argument on a 20 year old forum made for a videogame franchise.. I bet we have a huge overrepresentation of 30 year old, balding, fat people browsing the forum. Nothing wrong with that perse, just thought it was funny.

    Chances are he's a cuckold then.

    Also, given he decided to ruin his career for being a pathetic loser, I'm not sure how long will it be before his wife leaves him for her boyfriend.
