"Per Capita"
(with apologies to Dr. Seuss)

There once were two towns on a plain
One called Bigville, one called Small Lane.

Bigville had people by thousands and more
With crowds in the streets and lines at the store.

Small Lane was tiny, with just a few folk
A diner, a church, and a man with a goat.

One day they compared how much pie they had baked.
"Ten thousand pies!" Bigville cried.
"Only one hundred!" Small Lane replied.

"Clearly we're better!" said Bigville with pride.
"We've got more pie than you have inside!"

But an owl in a hat said, "Wait just a bit.
Before you start bragging, let's look into it."

He counted the people. He counted the pies.
Then he looked at both mayors right in their eyes.

"You can't just compare the big number you see.
You must ask how much there is per capita, you see."

"Per capita" means, in a simple old way:
"For each person."
Not for the town.
Not for the king.
Not for the crowd.
Not the whole thing.

If ten thousand pies feed ten thousand folk,
That's one pie each. That isn't a joke.

Now, if one hundred pies feed fifty folk there
That's two pies each. They have more to spare!

Bigville looked puzzled. Small Lane looked smug.
The owl said, "No fighting! No need to tug!

When raw populations are different in size
The bare numbers can fool even very smart eyes."

A city with crime may have thousands each year
While a village has twenty, and everyone cheers.

But if the big city has millions of souls
And the village has hundreds, the picture may roll
The other direction when measured just right
By crime per person instead of by sight.

The same thing is true for money and wealth
For doctors and schools, and even for health.

Whenever one group is much larger than another
Per capita helps you compare one to the other.

So remember this lesson when numbers get grand:
Don't just count the pies all across this great land.

Ask how much each person gets in the game.
Because when populations aren't quite the same?
The biggest number is often the trap
And per capita helps you read the full map.

@BozoProzo This is why subjective morality is wrong. Through the same logic proposed, you could argue rape is a good thing because it ensures children are being had thus securing a future for humans.

@frozenaesthetic The problem isn't that she's Laufey is a woman. The problem is that Kratos was hot, and should have an equally hot wife.

[🇺🇲Big Rooster🇺🇸 @RoosterMovement]

I hate all these fake arguments. The issue clearly is that Kratos was hot, and should have an equally hot wife to play as.

Men being furious about playing as a magical goddess that thickens the story/mythology while happily roleplaying as a half-naked oiled-up rage god for decades is one of gaming’s funniest self-reports.

Women have been playing as men forever and somehow survived. Wild.

I will forever be on the side of Aloy. She doesn't deserve the hate she gets. She's strong girl cute. I cannot defend the rest. They're not even mid.

[John A. Douglas @J0hnADouglas]

I’m sensing a pattern when it comes to women of PlayStation brands.

[🇺🇲Big Rooster🇺🇸 @RoosterMovement]

@J0hnADouglas I will die on the hill that Aloy is an exception in this cast. Look at her next to the others? Sure, she isn't some model bimbo, but she is strong girl cute which is appropriate for her role in the game.

@RomeckArt Hell yea!

@MostlyPeaceful @GoyGems I love how every one of these posts so completely get ratio'd by this meme.

There's no more accurate a metaphor for the West than slowly bleeding to death by the hand of barbarians while corrupt authorities tie our hands behind our back.

@UmbriciusR I don't speak French, but that sentence crosses languages now.

”Look at that subtle turn of the arm, the tasteful angle of it. Oh my god, it even shapes into an R.”

[🇺🇲Big Rooster🇺🇸 @RoosterMovement]

The ratio is so good.

I remember when a rap song came out that had the hook "suck a n*gga dick or something" and white dudes my age were chanting it. Like wtf...

Unpopular opinion: Hip-hop culture has done enormous damage to society.

It glorifies crime, promiscuity, materialism, and disrespect towards others, while convincing young men that these behaviors are admirable.

Society eventually becomes what it celebrates.

@eniomoa25 @canal_horaplay It's going to be like Need for Speed Heats character creator. Why did a racing game have a character creator? Why were all the women the ugliest you've ever seen with the only "beautifying" option being to put a mask on them(

[George Alexopoulos @GPrime85]

Two years ago if you said gas prices were too high, the Right would correctly say "this is horrible, Biden is a failure"

Today if you say the same thing, the Right answers "aww, what, you're too poor?"

@AlyssaLogic Who doesn't goon to a lil Greek tentacle porn every now and then?

@RealGitmoTrump Do you have a license for that?

Beyond Good and Evil did this to me.
