There are many red states with anti-trans laws that makes it a felony to use public restrooms while trans.

I am yet to see a blue state make it a felony to be a transphobe.

Democrats have no spine its time to grow a pair.

Then tie it to the lowest earners. You can pick a lower percentile using the same methodology as finding the median.

Adding fixed percentage adjustments to the mean is not a good way of going about it.

I am a sub. I’m here to subvert your expectations.

Eliminating the top 1% of earners is a good policy I support, but I don’t think it makes sense as a way to calculate averages.

Though your proposal might work now, in the fullness of time things will change, and the 1% may not be the right number. I don’t think you can rely on governments to update numbers promptly. There are places in England that have fines in law defined in denominations that no longer exist. You can’t rely on governments keep things up to date.

But your doesn’t address the underlying problems with using the arethmetic mean. It seems like you’re just searching for justification to pay people you don’t like less.

I believe everyone should be able to live comfortably, and well designed incentive systems are effective at shaping behavior. Median is better on both fronts.

I call them insecurity wipes.

Median is a better choice as its less affected by outliers.

The mean average is the amount you compute by putting all the money that is earned in a big pot and dividing it up evenly amongst everyone.

Median is where you find the single most average person and ask them how much they make.

Median gives them an incentive to improve the income of the average American. Mean average gives an incentive to increase national wealth regardless of who’s hands its in, and an incentive to decrease the population. That is not a good incentive.

But also keep in mind congress members are local representatives. They need to be in DC while in session, and in their state or district at other times to be available to their constituents. The job requires maintaining two households, so they should earn enough for that. Unless we provide them college dorm level mandatory housing in the capital. Then median alone is enough.

More significant figures. Shows the measurement as being accurate and not the result of rounding.

When you ask your girl cat what she mad about

Yeah and JPEG is pronounced JPEG because the P stands for photography.

I don’t believe you. I’m pretty sure you could say that about any possible angle.

I know negative thought brainworms like that feel real to you, but this one isn’t even plausible. Your hips are fine, like fiiine.

Girl, you posted this four days ago what are you on about? You have the most hips of anyone here.

Why not a cable for power? Does the door need to be able to go somewhere that doesn’t have electricity?

Cars. Blame cars for the lack of hats.

The car has a roof and climate control. Hats are much less needed for staying comfortable when moving around outside if you’re taking a car.

Any type of hat that has a brim on the back cannot be worn in a car with headrests. Many cars lack the headroom for tall hats. You have to remove your hat to get in the car. Its enough of an inconvenience to cause its decline.

The one kind of brimmed hat that is common today is the baseball hat. The brim is only in the front; the hat isn’t tall. You can just wear it in the car without thinking about it like most other garments.

So unless you’re content being the “hat guy,” (you can definitely make the hat work) your only option is to abolish the automobile as the primary mode of transport. Good luck!

I write the words, “attached to this email” to make sure I don’t accidentally attach anything. Many email clients confirm you have no attachments if you write that. Useful little trick!

I am my demons.

My electrologist mostly.

I feel comfortable in my body, but only now that I’ve started taking hormones to change my gender. Your description sounds a lot like how I felt pre-transition. I felt a pervasive discomfort with myself at all times for as long as I could remember. It wasn’t specifically directed at my body and appearance, but only because I dissociated to the extent of not considering my body to be part of me.

If there’s something you’ve always felt that makes you not want to be alive, that’s a big concern. Most people feel fine about themselves most of the time. Most women feel generally comfortable with themselves. Everyone has some amount of discomfort or insecurity with their appearance, but its rarely as severe and pervasive of feeling as you described.
