While this linear model’s overall predictive accuracy barely outperformed random guessing,

I was tempted to write this up for Pivot but fuck giving that blog any sort of publicity.

the rest of the site is a stupendous assortment of a very small field of focus that made this ideal for sneerclub and not just techtakes

        holy fuck

        Interesting study, but I am skeptical that this result applies to the general population (without the “convicted” qualifier).

        If non-whites are more violently criminal than whites, then we can expect them to be imprisoned earlier in life for any violent crime, of which pedophilia will be a small subset.

        So we have more convicted white paedos because … the coloreds do more crimes??! what in the actual fuck did I just read?

            I like how this presupposes that unlike the tendency towards violent crime, pedophilia is equally distributed among all races and skull bump arrangements.
