How does "mixed" work? Variations at the local level? People just ignoring the rules and doing what they like? Or is this a joke that I'm too American to get?
Also, I can definitely tell those colors apart for left and mixed super easy, I totally know which ones are which, just don't ask me to prove it.
I think the question is asking for an explanation of how that is possible that some areas are right and some are left within the same country. Does the local government decide (city, state, etc), or is it something else, and why.
Additionally, they seem to be partially color blind, since they can't differentiate the purple from blue.
Edit:
Copying my other comment here, based on some light Internet research which may or may not be accurate.
I assume the traffic just moved slow enough at that point in time that the rule was "make way" when you saw another vehicle rather than "always stick to this particular side".
Again, this is just an educated guess and have absolutely nothing to back up my assumptions.
I know rural western states in the u.s. like Montana gave women the right to vote early since there gender ratios was heavily male and they wanted to attract more women to the state. Australia was probably in a similar frontier stage at that point so I wonder what there gender ratios were then.
You’re probably thinking of Wyoming. Wikipedia: The first state to grant women the right to vote had been Wyoming,[6] in 1869, followed by Utah[7] in 1870, Colorado in 1893, Idaho in 1896, Washington[8] in 1910, California[9] in 1911, Oregon[10] and Arizona[11] in 1912, Montana in 1914, North Dakota, New York,[12] and Rhode Island[13] in 1917, Louisiana,[14] Oklahoma,[15] and Michigan[16] in 1918.[17]
Women's suffrage in Francoist Spain and the democratic transition was constrained by age limits, definitions around heads of household and a lack of elections. Women got the right to vote in Spain in 1933 as a result of legal changes made during the Second Spanish Republic. Women lost most of their rights after Franco came to power in 1939 at the end of the Spanish Civil War, with the major exception that women did not universally lose their right to vote. Repression of the women's vote occurred nevertheless as the dictatorship held no national democratic elections between 1939 and 1977.
Makes sense. The suffrage movement was pretty closely tied to the depopulation of men caused by WW1&2. Since Switzerland didn't participate, they would have been insulated from the societal forces that brought about women's suffrage.
Pretty sure this is outdated. It shows 10 Canadas-worth of population, but Canada's population has been growing proportionally faster than the US. Canada recently was estimated to have crossed the line of 40 million and the US has 330 million, so it should be fewer than 10 Canadas-worth. It's still weird to me because most of my life I was taught Canada had a population of about 33 million.
I didn’t know about that community, but I also don’t see why I shouldn’t post here? The beauty of the Fediverse is that there can be many places that serve the same purpose.
Why? The red and orange are close in color, otherwise it shows if it is green in color, more women commit suicide than men, then the ratio goes up by color
The numbers, right there on the bar, and the text at the top of the image.
"male to female suicide ratio" and then the numbers 1-10, it even explains that it's (men's suicides / women's suicides) so anyone who doesn't know what a ratio is can enjoy as well
The title explains it... If it isn't clear by that, it explains what that means in the text below. That my explanation was necessary is not really the fault of the infographic
If it is green then they have the same average right? 1:1. But in this graph it would be difficult to show when more women committed suicide, which might nowhere be the case.
See now, when I say lemmy users are the dumbest bunch of people I've ever seen outside of YouTube comments, people say I'm being too harsh. But this comment is currently at +45.
it's probably foolish to get into an argument with someone who thinks themselves better than me, but i'm bored so
in what world, do you read the word "ratio" then see "7" and instantly go "ah yes, 7/1 can also be seen as 7:1", instead of being confused for a bit because you expected a ratio
you literally have to additionally imagine the rest of the ratio anyway. I know dividing 7 by 1 gives you 7, but just a 7 is not a ratio
i give up, you either think yourself better than everyone to the point of refusing to acknowledge how the info graphic presents its information in an unintuitive way, or are OPs alt dying on this hill trying to defend your info graphic
I know dividing 7 by 1 gives you 7, but just a 7 is not a ratio
Does this prevent you in any way from comprehending the image? It takes more effort to parse out what you just said than it takes to understand the drawing. I still don't understand why it's relevant but that's beyond the point.
The image title could have said "MALE SUICIDES VS FEMALE SUICIDES (SKABADOO BANANAS WITH PAUL LEMON)" and you should still be able to immediately understand that farther right = more male suicides
Hell you should be able to understand the gist of the image without even having any numbers on the bottom, just "less" on the left and "more" on the right.
I have no way to know the lived experience of women, but I have observed since about 4 years of age that the buck stops with me. I, and I suspect the vast majority of men, have no backstop - If I have any problem that I can't fix myself, or can't pay money to get assistance with, I am fucked.
I hear anecdotally that women are more likely to tell people about suicidal ideation... Does this imply that women have better results using social networks to move past the stressors or illness behind that ideation?
Best case if I was feeling like I couldn't bear to keep living and told someone, maybe a family member would have me committed for my own good. Then after the imprisonment, I am also unemployed and still have no one with the bandwidth to help me deal with whatever issues I was having.
Not to belittle it on either side but I do wonder what causes that disparity. Is it that men plan it more thoroughly or have access to more dangerous methods? Do women choose methods that, unintentional or not, can be backed out of more easily? Are women more likely to report a failed attempt than men? If that 2-3x factor is true, then why don't we see similar numbers of idk completion? I hesitate to say success because it is very much not a success to commit suicide, there are always other options, even if they're not perfect.
I've heard the claims that women generally opt for less effective methods because they're more likely to want to leave an opportunity to back out, or try to avoid leaving a messy corpse. I have not data here, these are simply claims I've heard.
I've heard the latter, as in even in death women are thinking about others.
Anecdotally, I've heard that almost universally. Every woman or girl I know who has chosen not to commit suicide, someone having to find their corpse factored highly in their reasons.
