TUMBLR PHANNIES

hey everyone!! ive created a survey to compare/contrast phandom experiences by platform....and i really want to hear from you!

its abt a 5-15 min time commitment depending on your answers, but your feedback is invaluable and it's completely anonymous!! (i hope it doesn't need saying but this survey is run without platform bias and the last thing i want to do is pit people against each other! i just need a bigger sample size!)

thank you <3

the duck cousins (donald, fethry, gladstone in this context) are so funny to me because their intelligence/common sense feels So impacted by each other

if donald and gladstone are in the same room their braincells are replaced with pettiness (ESPECIALLY if daisy is there)

the more 😞 gladstone is, the more 😈 donald is.

if donald is 😡 they both get 😡, UNLESS fethry is there, which means that gladstone is like 🙄”ugh donald you are EMBARESSING us”

if donald and fethry are together, then donald is the voice of reason to fethry’s crazy, unless/until its funnier for fethry to be right

if fethry and gladstone are hanging out without donald theyre suddenly like. more normal. not COMPLETELY normal because theyre still THEM. but its like. wow theyre two silly guys :] . amicable fellows

*There is NO button for those who didn't attend, as the poll options maxed out. Kindly do not vote in this poll if you didn't attend so you don't skew the data!

**For the same reason of limited poll slot options on tumblr, Asia and Australia are grouped together by their longitudinal/time zone proximity and how the tour legs were divided up by Taylor. I am aware they are not one geographic region and not as geographically close to each other as other regions listed here, don't worry, so no need to aggressively inform me in the tags!

***By the same tour leg categorization, North America here means Canada and the United States. Yes I'm aware Central America is within the continent of NA, but for the purpose of this poll, it is grouped primarily by leg, and Latin America is the primary categorization. The term North America here is used as a shorthand for Canada and the United States for the sake of brevity.

****Also due to not enough poll slots, there were not enough slots to add one for those who live outside the touring regions of the Eras Tour and traveled from those regions to an Eras tour region. I am aware there are people who live outside of the regions listed above, and that you attended the Eras show and that's great! But for the purpose of this poll, it is only for those who live in the Eras touring region. Kindly do not vote if you don't live in the Eras touring region so as not to skew the data!

Bro its so fucking dry in Texas rn. This is one of the "streams" we had to sample from. It was one of only FIVE sites out of 20 in this watershed that even had water at ALL.

look computational psychiatry is a concept with a certain amount of cursed energy trailing behind it, but I'm really getting my ass chapped about a fundamental flaw in large scale data analysis that I've been complaining about for years. Here's what's bugging me:

When you're trying to understand a system as complex as behavioral tendencies, you cannot substitute large amounts of "low quality" data (data correlating more weakly with a trait of interest, say, or data that only measures one of several potential interacting factors that combine to create outcomes) for "high quality" data that inquiries more deeply about the system.

The reason for that is this: when we're trying to analyze data as scientists, we leave things we're not directly interrogating as randomized as possible on the assumption that either there is no main effect of those things on our data, or that balancing and randomizing those things will drown out whatever those effects are.

But the problem is this: sometimes there are not only strong effects in the data you haven't considered, but also they correlate: either with one of the main effects you do know about, or simply with one another.

This means that there is structure in your data. And you can't see it, which means that you can't account for it. Which means whatever your findings are, they won't generalize the moment you switch to a new population structured differently. Worse, you are incredibly vulnerable to sampling bias because the moment your sample fails to reflect the structure of the population you're up shit creek without a paddle. Twin studies are notoriously prone to this because white and middle to upper class twins are vastly more likely to be identified and recruited for them, because those are the people who respond to study queries and are easy to get hold of. GWAS data, also extremely prone to this issue. Anything you train machine learning datasets like ChatGPT on, where you're compiling unbelievably big datasets to try to "train out" the noise.

These approaches presuppose that sampling depth is enough to "drown out" any other conflicting main effects or interactions. What it actually typically does is obscure the impact of meaningful causative agents (hidden behind conflicting correlation factors you can't control for) and overstate the value of whatever significant main effects do manage to survive and fall out, even if they explain a pitiably small proportion of the variation in the population.

It's a natural response to the wondrous power afforded by modern advances in computing, but it's not a great way to understand a complex natural world.

My bisexual girlfriend has observed that there are more frog enthusiasts among bi people than in the general population.

"A lot" could mean: you often seek out pictures and videos of frogs or information about them, you go looking for frogs in the wild, you have pet frogs, or you buy frog-related items.

If you're not bisexual but are some closely-related identity, you can decide if it makes the most sense for the purposes of this poll to align yourself with bi people or everyone else.

ive been having a debate, so:

[unorcadox]

ok actually i'm putting this to a poll because i'm curious on the populace's takes

[lapdogchase]

rhetorical question for the "i can get away with it" crowd - why do you think that makes it fine to cross a clearly set boundary

rhetorical question for the "crossing boundaries is fine if i think the boundaries are stupid" crowd - why do you think you get to decide what's too dumb of a boundary to respect

rhetorical question for the "i want to upset them" crowd - why are you being mean when you could be nice
