  • The idea of prison rape being in the low single digits is also being extraordinarily conservative when we consider how safe someone feels to answer honestly in that kind of poll, especially if they were to answer from prison on a life sentence.

    Good luck getting accurate answers in circumstances where revealing the conditions in which you exist might worsen or end your existence.

  • In theory if you could use any profits to make counter-investments or buy enough stock to be able to influence them to move in a different direction then your strategy might be viable, but unless you literally just buy 1 share to be able to harass them at stockholder meetings then in all likelihood your money is doing more harm than good.

    Best to just straight up invest in organizations that are effective in stopping these things and influencing policy against them.

    How many consultant-class make-work jobs were created by donations to the DNC so they could lose to Trump?

    A general outline would suffice, just trying to get a sense of the scale

    Is it possible for people from other instances to use those famous hexbear emojis?

    In light of lemmy.world's pre-emptive defederation of hexbear, would anyone support defederating lemmy.world?

    Does any music genre have a disproportionally high number of highly educated artists?

    Was reading about The Offspring due to this post here: https://lemmy.ml/post/2628198

    As I read their Wikipedia page I noticed that Dexter Holland (lead singer) has a PhD in Molecular Biology. Then I remembered that Greg Gaffin (lead singer) of Bad Religion has a PhD in Zoology.

    Is this a trend in Punk Rock or am I noticing a freak coincidence? If not punk rock, is there any genre that stands out in its number of highly educated artists?

    I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)?

    Even if we're subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they've managed to overwhelm my feed.

    Hey Lemmy, do you think COVID is/has caused a brain drain and if so from what countries to where?

    Hey Lemmy, what are some good public domain books?

    I tend to like the volunteer-read audiobooks on librivox and recently was curious about their Sherlock Holmes books (never read or listened to before), but I'm wondering what else is out there and popular in the community.
