The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

As a term, it is usually used to describe the random distribution of data points within a certain number of standard deviations from the mean. In other words, though the individual data points are random, in aggregate, they form a pattern.

Whenever Trump identifies a particular individual as an enemy or someone who has spoken unkindly of him, threats, intimidations and even violent attacks are committed by random people. It’s a pattern.

And that’s why it’s called “stochastic violence”. - Bill

Another thing that connects Trump to his base is that he speaks plainly in their language and would never use a term like "stoichastic violence" to explain his position.
