[@tranlenamphuong6192]

[@thisisaname4661]

@@amber2511 50% of married people don't get divorced. I mean, I'm probably never going to choose to get married (I don't need the paperwork to prove I love someone), but that's a myth based upon a faulty statistic that used incomplete data. Really, a stat like that is more difficult to measure (also will vary depending on which country you are in. Hello we don't all live in America). It absolutely does not guarantee that 15 of those 30 students have two Christmasses. Just like you can't look at a group of 6 people and say "Well 1 in 6 people have genital herpes so one of you MUST have it." That's not how it works.

[@AddyOkay]

@@thisisaname4661 Where did they say that we all live in America, like literally where? What is your proof that the statistics are faulty? Did they say that the 15/30 kids thing was always going to be true? Obviously not, it's just a representation of the data. I am actually very confused as to why you would try to refute that like um what? What are you, a data scientist? Like seriously, where did you get that the data is incorrect??? And don't send me some obscure or fishy articles written by someone without a degree in data science. If you look it up, the top results say that 40-50% of marriages end in divorce. Most people just round to 50 because it's more satisfying to have 50% than 40% if you ask me. If someone doesn't live in America and the rates are different there, well guess what they can share what their own country's rates are. Not everyone is gonna cater to every single country on planet Earth, they're probably just going to talk about their own. It's like you're mad because people get divorced and you're in denial or something... (Btw the end part is referring to you talking about America and the 15/30 thing, I actually do want to see your resources because everything I have seen with what you are saying have been crappy articles with no real facts, no real statistics, no real data, not written by someone in the field, or really shady)

[@thisisaname4661]

@@AddyOkay If you need to throw out ad hominem attacks and straw man arguments go ahead. I literally don't care if people get divorced. How does it affect me? Answer... It doesn't. My personal opinions on the matter, which you have no idea about, are irreverent. So are Amber's. What I was disagreeing with was her blanket statement and the figure she used, not her viewpoint. I couldn't care less about that (or about yours). But I've seen the statement “50% of marriages end in divorce” stated plenty of times in the past and I have looked into it. Plus statistics and such are kind of interesting to me (odd I know...) I know that saying is directly from a figure that comes from old US data (that included all marriages. First, second, third, etc). But it's really not that hard to figure that out. All I was saying is that it's not exactly correct. Ok, sure, maybe she didn't mean it quite so literally, maybe she was talking about her own country (without specifying or anything but ok), maybe she was “rounding up”... It seemed kind of black and white to me but I guess those are possibilities. Sure. Didn't realize you spoke for her. I stand by the sentiment of “That's not how it works.” If you look up stats (using sources other than the first result off of Google... And no, not from "fishy articles"...) you will get a lot of varied data. A simple 40-50% figure doesn't take into account different subgroups. You also have to look at how they collected the data. There are many different factors that go into building statistics. There is no sure way to predict how many couples will divorce. Or if any individual couple will. You are dealing with averages. Nobody can give a concrete number. Even if someone told me “The divorce rate in my country is only like 1%”, providing they are legally able to divorce there, they cannot use that as a guaranteed way to predict if a married couple (in their country) will stay together. You can get estimates of the data and make guesses using past figures and watching current trends, but no one can say 100%. I mean you are dealing with something so unpredictable... Human relationships. That's the flaw in statements such as Amber's. It's what we call a hasty generalization. www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/reynolds-divorce-rate-geographic-variation-2019-fp-20-25.html www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/marriage-divorce.htm www.statista.com/statistics/195955/divorce-rate-in-the-united-states-since-1990/ www.statista.com/statistics/612207/divorce-rates-in-european-countries-per-100-marriages/ ourworldindata.org/marriages-and-divorces www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7351120/ www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2013/article/marriage-and-divorce-patterns-by-gender-race-and-educational-attainment.htm time.com/5434949/divorce-rate-children-marriage-benefits/ www.oecd.org/social/family/SF_3_1_Marriage_and_divorce_rates.pdf The Fifty Percent Divorce Rate: Deconstructing a Myth scholarworks.wmich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2087&context=jssw Anyway, that was enough of my time.

@@useroffline9999 I 've only had one job as well when I was 18-19 (I'm 20 now) and have yet to have another one because of fear that I'm not good enough, that I'll fuck up everything, and that my boss will always be breathing down my back due to the way I was treated at my last job by a BOOMER. Fast food restaurant, I was actually one of their best dining team members in the last 2 years and all my coworkers acknowledged it. I micromanaged my tasks EXTREMELY well even during rush hour (which was extremely intense, full house every Tuesday and Thursday because we have car shows) and they never had to keep tabs on me or remind me to do anything. I was friendly to customers and they always liked to see me as my grandpa also hosted the car shows and they liked to see his granddaughter. I mostly kept to myself, but I would engage in conversation occasionally and I was always ready to help if needed. I would find working the register a lot more engaging because I'd be able to do a lot more than small talk (but was never allowed, as you'll read below...). My manager was insecure as fuck that I was making friends with my coworkers, but more importantly to her, her BF, and so she talked shit behind my back to my boss (he said some stuff about drama). She also confronted me "anonymously" through text, asking me if I liked her BF, and not responding to my questions at all, but literally the next day I compared the phone number on our team member sheet and it was hers. I told the stock manager (second in command) about this and he said he'd keep it in mind, but I'm not sure if anything actually happened or if he told our boss. I knew I had to stay professional and so I continued to work with her normally, and I honestly even grew to like her a bit, although maybe out of fear. I rarely made eye contact with her. My stupid boomer boss would never let me work the register even though I was the ONLY one out of all of them who had a CUSTOMER SERVICE CERTIFICATION and I have scoliosis so bending over cleaning tables for hours was painful as shit. He also wouldn't let me work mornings (for essentially no reason--there were spots open each week) despite having a few time constraints in the evening (I was a FULL-TIME university student...). He then fired me because I "wasn't a good fit for their company" really? At least I was considering quitting at that point. This experience was actually very traumatizing as my BPD was fully developed and I was in an abusive relationship that, through emotional dysregulation, caused me to stop going to one of my classes. Having my boss mistreat me and tell me that I'm not good enough despite giving my all and being recognized by my coworkers only kicked me while I was down.

okay, i am legitimately annoyed about the "trigger words" thing. NEWSFLASH: mental health is a thing??? way to discredit everyone struggling with real mental health issue because being "triggered" by something is not at _all_ the result of literal trauma, but just a result of people being weak thin-skinned crybabies

[@Jukajobs]

also, imo, trigger warnings can actually potentially give space for more and better discussions. because instead of having people who don't know the discussion they're about to have will have negative effects on them, meaning they can't get into the topic so well, they can now know "ok i'll sit this one out and let people who have interest in having this discussion and aren't bothered by it talk about it". meaning people have to worry less about something being a sensitive topic for anyone involved in the conversation bc there was a previous warning already. also like... movies have had ratings that say stuff like "violence" and "mature language" or whatever for ages, those are essentially vague trigger warnings for movies anyway to let you know "hey, this might not be good for you". would he complain that food wrapping saying "contains peanuts" means that people with peanut allergies are whiny and self-centered and are trying to stop anyone from eating that specific food that contains peanuts??
