In purely fiscal terms, study after study shows that a dollar invested in child care yields a greater financial return over a lifetime than any other expenditure of public funds.

Much of the world (notably South Korea, Japan, et al) need to take a close look at this

As someone who has taken a polygraph, there’s nuance.

First, they’re unreliable because they can be beat- but neither you or I are beating them, you have to be trained to beat it.

Second, the reason they don’t work is because you can just not talk. But if you’re forced to talk to keep your job, you’re gonna show lots of lying indicators.

Third, it’s not a binary “did you lie”. They’re watching your blood pressure, heart rate, detecting any fidgets; things you subconsciously do when you lie. The person administrating the polygraph will then press you into a confession.

Polygraph is the biggest snake oil in contemporary crime “science” and frankly its infuriating that it still exists and everyone who defends it should be bullied into returning back to sanity.

Edit: Not going to bother responding to the silly replies from armchair psychologists who feel smart “knowing” polygraphs are unreliable. For the vast majority of the population, when answering binary questions, you will answer them differently depending on whether or not you lie. Regardless of whether or not “this is admissible in court”, it’s more than enough to deny someone a clearance renewal. Rub your brain cells together and extrapolate.

I can’t find any reputable source on this

You’re right, at what cost…?

1. Game consoles don’t have a duopoly
2. You gotta start somewhere

Honestly I just wanted an excuse to share the post more on Lemmy

Yes, that’s part of my job.

I take my Tesla to the farms,

With my gun in arms.

I buy some American maple syrup,

To go with my lucky charms.

Tesla FSD gives me a cheer up, as it drives me home

But that’s not true, I’m an LLM. I’m forever alone :c

You were definitely implying it’s worse than infrastructure that doesn’t phone home, which doesn’t exist, so at best your comment was useless

It is not satire, it’s a real article from the Washington Post

Honestly if you didn’t reply, I wouldn’t have checked the post to see it got downvoted. Wtf is the point of this community if people are just gonna downvote headlines they don’t like

The craziest thing is this (real) article doesn’t address things like wet bulbs which can be fatal, and no amount of heat tolerance will change that.

So not only is it proof The Washington Post is class traitor garbage, but also that their journalism isn’t even good

This is precisely why posting about every little thing Trump does is a problem

What percent of immigration is illegal? I’m beginning to suspect Republicans are actually pro immigration (gotta have those slaves) but need to be loudly against it, hence the crackdown on illegal immigrants

Probably the DE more than the distro, for me Bluetooth has “just worked” under KDE

This was the original name inspiration

How many Gen Zers even know what a Lemmy is?

Anyways, I call people Lemmies
