Boyah Forums

But feel free to correct me if indeed they are wrong. Statistically safe bets will not necessarily always be correct, nor can I or anyone else realistically expect them to always be correct.

i will begin by making some assumptions about your very own friends, families, and acquaintances, boyah

from this point on, i will refer to them as "peers"

Boyah, I would bet that a minimum of 50% of your peers:

• are north americans


• have either dark hair or dark eyes, perhaps even both


• are statistically christian and adhere to several popular christian traditions (christmas, restful sundays, etc.)


• have incomes within the range of $20,000 to $80,000 USD


• were not born in the us states of alaska, hawaii, or alabama, or the canadian province of new scotland


• are of a height somewhere between 5'1" and 6'3"


• do not currently have the flu


• graduated high school between the ages of 16 and 19


• are currently employed


• are internet users


• did not vote for donald trump


• have never been to the uk


• have at some point or another been in a romantic relationship


• are statistically heterosexual


• weigh somewhere between 100 and 200 lbs

• have not actually been to church in several months despite being statistically christian

• have some college education

To be bolder still, I would bet that at least 50% of the above also apply to actual Boyagers on an individual level. befuddlement

again, plz correct me wherever i have been wrong here thus far, i have no desire to remain incorrect

You really need to learn to let things go

I reject your colonialist ideas, notions, and terminology.

It's true, the word "north" is purely relative and the world map could just as well look like this:

not to mention that the placement of the prime meridian is also completely arbitrary lol

So I will revise that claim:

• live within 4,ooo miles of the coordinates -105.2551° longitude, 54.5260° latitude, and are thus colloquially known as "north americans"

A slightly more bold but probably still statistically safe bet:

• the average toyota vehicle manufactured within the past 15 years is likely (but not necessarily) more reliable than the average ford vehicle manufactured within the past 30 years

lol

but to be honest, the gall-peters is just æsthetically unpleasant, even if it is size-accurate

of course the mercator is æsthetically disgusting too, even if it's mathematically easiest to work with due to the perfect grid

my favorite projections are the compromise projections like the robinson that optimize for æsthetixxx and nothing else

Disgusting

What's not to like about New Scotland? cry;

No province with that name exists, thank you.

I did know a guy on NSider from St. John's, though.

tbh its official name in french is "Nouvelle-Écosse" n_u

you're not welcome here

here's my bet, you will likely die in the next 80 years

these aren't statistically safe bets, but safe statistical bets i think
also what the hell even is this thread, "hey guys i bet that you're somewhere between 5 and 100 years old isn't that neat"

it was the culmination of a tec-ypr classic hocuspocus;

i was making the point, in the most obvious way possible, that certain types of big data can enable one to make basic predictions about large, disparate groups of people, and that such basic predictions should not, in and of themselves, somehow elicit rage if they happen to contradict a personal anecdote

whether that has anything to do with ypr (or anyone else for that matter) is entirely up to him girl;
