Your point? Hawaii's death count in the period of the OP increased about 4 or 5 fold, New yorks increased 6 fold, Texas increased 40 fold. The OP's point is a failure whether you compare against hawaii or new york, if you bother to normalize for population of course and not use invalid statistics.

@Salaru

I am not trusting the statistics from any one "people" im trusting the statistics from many independent sources that all agree rather closely with each other. I would never rely on a single source by itself unless I verified indepdendent sources confirmed the data, and they have.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

How is that relevant. The numbers I used were normalized per population (relative change), you are not normalizing per population and using absolute numbers, ergo not valid. You cant just argue against good statistics with bad ones and think that makes a point of some kind.

@Salaru

@Salaru How exactly am I "ignoring" that, none of that was discussed until just now.

The internet needs some fucking therapy...

@Salaru I'm well aware of the anti-vax propaganda when it comes to making up vaccine deaths. I've been through this discussion countless times.

@Salaru

We call this cherry-picked data. Do the same chart but now look at COVID **deaths**. Texas has had a 40x increase in deaths over that time. Hawaii has had only about a 4x increase in the same time period.

Its almost like the vaccines are keeping people from dying or getting the disease as strongly... funny that, its doing what its supposed to.

Every time...

About half the fediverse need sto hear this, but won't listen.

@Proton

I think the better argument is simply that the art work selected for each period is cherry picked. That said, I do myself prefer older artwork than new when it comes to paintings.

@matrix

This poll kinda played out exactly how I predicted.. interesting.

@lucifargundam pretty much :)

@voltar13 Yea surprisingly europes libraries are a bit lacking compared to the good american ones. It was one of the things I really missed.

@hans_w frog legs, to me, had a pretty distinctive taste. Snails I can kinda see, as much as I like them I dont recall what they taste like, if they even had much of a taste.

@hans_w There is that, but people dont realize they also act a bit like a museum for books. A good library can give you access to texts hundreds of years old, sometimes even hand written. Though you can't take them out and not everyone can get access to everything. But you'd be amazed at the kind of stuff they have behind the scenes.

At least in the US, not sure if this would apply to Dutch of German libraries which seem more commercial in nature.

@hans_w

Lets hope not :)

@math

@thedonnerd well they werent like the ones I see in jars that are whole. They were sliced into extremely thin slices. So I'm not sure how typical the texture or taste was. That said they tasted like bacon with a bit less flavor and not particularly fatty. I think the sauce was doing all the heavy lifting. Not bad how it was prepared at lease.
