It looks like it because the Y axis doesn’t start at zero.
If it went to zero, then yes that would be a textbook example.
When we had to print stuff out it could be defended, but even then I’d like it to start at zero and show a break to jump up.
If being zoomed out to zero means it erases the change being shown, then that matters. Not zeroing the y axis can make anything look crazy.
I dunno, I’m a stats nerd, I’ll rant about it every time I see it.
Nah, as much as he has it would have cratered the price, especially because everyone around him would dump immediately.
This is just someone trying to beat it, and trump is likely furious.
If he was cashing out, and he’d have pulled everything at once.
I always knew his teleprompter wasn’t just lines to a prewritten speech.
They literally have people that type messages to him in real time, but they can’t put a lot up there so he just gets vague topics and rambles about it, then when a new message pops up he changes immediately to that.
And it’s mostly all in one place…
I never realized how valuable that data was
Yeah, but that’s the same as someone writing on a bathroom stall at this point.
I’m curious if this was some kind of DDOS, or if someone was trying to use it to train AI and was pulling everything to make a local copy
About the only way to ensure you’re not training AI on bots, is to use “old internet” when bots were more obvious
On a post about how important PA is…
And for the record, lots of people heard about her tie breaking vote in support of fracking 2 years ago.
Just because some people only care every 4 years, doesn’t mean that’s everyone else level of involvement
58% of PA voters want to ban fracking, but don’t expect either candidate to bring it up.
And while most want to ban it:
Pennsylvania voters continue to be split over fracking. A poll out this week, which surveyed 700 likely voters in September, shows 58% support a ban on fracking while 42% oppose it.
Virtually all agree that it can’t continue the way it has been:
“Support for taking mitigating measures like regulation and enforcement is strong among all populations that we surveyed,” O’Leary said, “from Democrats and environmentalists on the left to hardcore Republicans on the right.”
Unfortunately for voters in PA, both candidates for president and their Senate seat are fully behind fracking.
Yet people are still scratching their heads like nothing can be done to motivate PA voters.
You think that’s fucked?
The inability to pronounce “R” is called Rhotacism.
If you have it you’re literally unable to say the name of it
What you’re saying is often true…
But I just cant connect it to the article you commented it on
The source is fine
It’s literally not…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(United_Kingdom)
It’s been a shit tier Murduch tabloid for fucking decades…
If you don’t want people to be distracted by shitty right wing sources, the easiest solution would be using better sources…
No, they’ll just not vote like a third of the country always does…
Like, what’s the negative to do what the Dem voter base wants?
Why only move to the right for votes, and how does that lead to anything but the country moving to he right.
Only if you think Kamala values her unpopular policy positions more than she wants to be at trump.
I’m voting for her, but she’ll get more votes moving to the left, and I really really want to beat trump, so I’m going to keep making noise till the election.
Then I’m going to keep making noise, hoping she listens, because this shit doesn’t just end after the election, or after she takes office.
If she keeps moving to the right we’ll lose ground in the House and Senate, meaning she can’t fix shit.
And four years later we’ll be in the same spot, and her and the DNC will claim the only choice is being more conservative again.
So while I understand the frustration, this is bullshit:
At this point we’ve got little to do but hope and throw as much support as we can behind her.
You want to help Kamala beat trump?
Do anything you can think of that has the slimiest chance of pulling her left. As a bonus it’ll help everyone living in America, and lots of people outside of it too
Everytime she moves right her numbers get worse…
But she keeps moving to the right, I don’t know what she expects to happen.
If she wants to stop trump, all she has to do is move left to align more with Dem voters.

despite a Trump administration effort to maximize fossil fuel extraction and consumption.
But why ignore that Bidens admin broke Trump’s production limits?
Shipping tons and tons of coal to China to be burned there just makes it worse, because we use even more fossil fuels to ship it to China…
While it’s good their finally doing it…
The fuck did they wait for tho?
Biden broke Trump’s fossil fuel production records, and him and Kamala have been pro-fracking for years.
It’s not enough to just fight awful shit when a Republican is in office, we need to fight the awful shit the modern Dem party leaders want too.
Stop pretending everything is fine if the person doing it has a fucking D after their name, that can’t be a total get out of jail free card or we’re already fucked and there’s no coming back.
And so did the other guy
In the analogy no one is forcing either of them.
And no one is forcing me to keep trying to explain this
I should have given up long ago, but I didn’t.
Now I’m just blocking everyone that can’t understand what a fucking analogy is, because at some point, we might interact again, and this is very very frustrating to try and explain.
I know it seems pedantic, but I think it’s rise in use especially with stock prices has a large effect in people’s minds and has helped usher in the stock culture where numbers must always go up and any dip is death.
Like, you know those studies about how language shapes people’s minds and more communal languages lead to people who often think of others and prioritizes the group?
I think y axis graphs not starting at zero is leading to decades of financial analysts obsessed with the most minute changes and drastically over reacting to anything that happens, even if stepping back to a 0 Y graph the change wouldn’t even be noticeable.
Obviously I’m not mad you linked it, it gave me a chance to vent about this stupid graph.
I’m pissed CNBC is doing it, they have people that know better but this graph is more sensationalized so that’s what they ran with.
The thing is this shit has real life consequences and our economy is fundamentally built on people’s opinions. If people get scared of investing in general because of zoomed in graphs and panic sell, it could domino into an actual crash.
Like, you ever have one of those days where you think Nero was smart for just kicking back and watching the show and Cassandra was the crazy one because she never stopped trying to explain what she thought was obvious?
