mystes posted:This is just evidence that Mormons were using made up names. It is not evidence that, for example, the majority of people using made up names in the US were Mormons, or evidence that the current trend of people on social media giving made up names to their kids is derived from Mormon culture. No we're basically on the same page. My point is simply that Mormon name thing predates the internet. It does show that certain types of names are more common among Utah Mormons (compared to neighbouring Colorado, where the guy's second dataset comes from). The chapter author does cite another researcher who had an interesting theory on the link between religion and Southern working class names - the denominations most common in the South (basically various flavours of baptism) don't baptise infants, therefore an educated priest usually can't intervene when the parents choose to name their child something stupid. It's possibly the same for the LDS, since they also don't baptise infants. As for whether the wider trend is the Mormon's fault, I don't know yet. Between browsing the thread and making dinner, I've only skimmed through the first 25 pages of the chapter (now we're on data from 2012!). We'll see.

Deified Data posted:"officially dead" Sounds like alzheimer's or some such. It's not uncommon for family of someone who died to it thinking of them as dead when their mind is truly gone and the body just takes a while to catch up. It's how my family dealt with my grandfather suffering from it. We mourned him long before he biologically died, and it sounds like this woman did the same for her husband but the kids did not.

A widow must remain unmarried and chaste for the rest of her life. She must also wear black for the rest of her life to show mourning. It is also acceptable if she enters a convent.

Cerekk posted:Why the hell would original research be an unacceptable part of an academic work? Do all the original research you want. You can summarise your data, or have them in an appendix, or separately available on your own website or whatever. You just can't put them into your reference list, that's for the published works that you've cited in your text. There's no requirement to cite x number of published works in actual research, but it's no uncommon to have some kind requirement for various forms of student assignments, because we want the students to read, and to learn to cite properly.

That story reminds me of a scene from the production I have running right now. It's a one man show showcasing an autobiographical look at my life through the people I've interacted with. It's got heart, for sure, but it also has a lot of humour. It's the best three hours of entertainment out there! (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

You can usually tell them by their name before you meet them.  If you don't live in the Western US I'll give you a pass on this one.

It's not uncommon for family of someone who died to it thinking of them as dead when their mind is truly gone and the body just takes a while to catch up. My father didn't have alzheimer's, but he had spent many years sick. He had a stroke five and a half years ago, recovered fairly well, and died somewhat suddenly in January 2019. I was incredibly sad but also relieved that he wasn't suffering anymore. I think watching him get worse in one way or another through the years helped prepare me for his eventual passing.

Seems like the fiance had basically one earnest wish for her not to do it on the first dance so even going through the "ha ha, you thought I actually did it, but it was only a bit of it, gotcha!" would have felt like she just needed to get the last word in over his express wishes. quote:UPDATE! He came home from lunch and I explained to him what I and his close friends and family were planning on doing, told him about my histation and showed him my post. I was right, he said its the perfect addition to our day and said he doesn't understand why people are so negative about a small not even 10 second clip in of a song he said would be funny. He asked if I would still do it as it would be something fun to tell future relatives or people asking about the wedding. Thanks for those who saw the this would actually be nice side and to those of you who told me I was an rear end in a top hat. If you all hadn't absolutely butchered me in the comments I probably would've just not done nor said anything about it. There will be those who think this is false and okay go off if thats you're cup of tea. I will be sitting at home with my cats awaiting my fiance to come home from work since today I'm off sick.

Captain Hygiene posted:You be the judge: should my girlfriend stop upgrading our coffee-making equipment?  Not so strong a consensus on The Stallion, I guess it was a tougher question compared to Burps Mcgee or the Toothbrush Gang. This week: You be the judge: should my girlfriend stop snipping plants in the park? The prosecution: Lars posted:Lily and I love going to gardens and parks, but she takes cuttings off any plant she fancies. When we’re out on a walk, I feel awkward when she leans over to take a clipping. If I saw someone else doing it, I would be quite shocked. I don’t want to be the kind of person who cuts things off plants in the park. I respect rules and I like to follow them. The only way to live all together in society is to follow the rules, but Lily is the opposite and makes up her own. The defence: Lily posted:I love taking small twigs or cuttings home and seeing how they grow in our flat. But Lars has a problem with the way I do it. He is worried about us being seen. I’ll take a leaf, which only involves a quick pluck, but when I snapped a branch from a plant in a park recently, he was horrified. I thought it was kinda funny because we had a similar question back around Christmas, about clipping fir trees to make wreaths. It didn't get much discussion, but I'm against them. One leaf from a tree isn't really anything, but once you get bigger than that, just knock it off. It's property that somebody else puts work into, and the "teehee, nobody will mind, actually I'm doing a good thing" attitude runs me the wrong way.

I'm on the side of "if everyone did it, there wouldn't be a park left" and I don't think the counter-argument of "well, everyone isn't doing it!" is much of a good one (yeah, because people realize we live in a society together, and that involves putting the community above the self sometimes). Also, if she's sure it's not such a big deal, why is she doing all this snipping discreetly? Oh, that's right, because you shouldn't be snipping random flowers and poo poo that other people could be enjoying.

Quackles posted:How exactly does a master's thesis etc. not count as a published work? They're published work. But the difference comes down to the degree in which the work has been evaluated by someone who is an expert in the field. You'll be lucky if the grader for you bachelor's thesis spends more than maybe two-three hours on your text, double that for a master's thesis. We're simply not given that many hours for grading (I get 20 hours total for supervising one thesis and grading another one, ymmv). Plus, usually with theses you find online, you really have no idea what grades they've received. Maybe it was A and the author is currently in grad school, or maybe it was barely an E even after an extension and begging and pleading from the student. In my experience, you also don't tend to find truly good original research in bachelor or master's theses. Nothing against the students, but it's hard for anyone to produce good research given the time limits for student theses (10 weeks for bachelor, 20 weeks for master). With doctoral thesis there are also weird academic traditions and politics that you need to take into consideration. In a lot countries the defence is not public, so you have weird poo poo like Naomi Wolf's thesis getting a pass even though it contained so many basic and quite fundamental errors. In some countries, like mine, you basically cannot fail if your doctoral thesis has been approved by your supervisors and your home institution, the worst you can get is a 2-1 pass, which is for all intents and purposes a fail (like you can tell people you have a PhD, but don't expect to find academic work). And then you've poo poo like "Look, I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but you don't fail [tenured professor at LSE] and [tenured professor at LSE]'s student, that's just not done," a thing that was once said to me, verbatim (well, okay, it was in another language, but you get the point). The good stuff in doctoral theses usually get published as articles or books anyway, just a few years later. You want your students to read good, current research in the field, without having to navigate all of the above, so you just say, works published in reputable journals and books published with reputable academic publishers only, when in doubt shoot me an email.
