      Because before editing it was drawing wrong conclusions from the data. If you torture data long enough it will confess to anything.

      Because your statement reads as “people dying isn’t good but this affects fuck all people”

          Because his contexless stats is just 13/50 for indigenous Australians. I know it’s popular with American conservatives to say that black people deserve it, but we can do better.

          Well it’s a discussion in bad taste. I don’t really know how to explain more because this should be obvious already why people wouldn’t like seeing it.

          I can present a report on an extremely low LTIFR right after a workplace fatality and watch as I never get to present data in that room again.

          Turning around and saying “but it’s factual!” isn’t going to get a “you’re right. Good job mate”

          • So an article about something is fine. But some hard data related to the article that proves the articles core tenant is false is “in bad taste”. Is this cos u don’t like the the reality of the facts and prefer the false reality? U would rather push a false narrative because it aligns with your belies? Misinformation is OK when I agree with it?

            Well it’s a discussion in bad taste.

            Lemmy is super left wing progressive, nothing to do with bad taste, this is the current top comment:
