The R^2 is trash, this is just a very squished cloud

It's Add Health, so it's not even the R2 that's the problem but the fact it's probably got a ton of covariates not included in the model. Lots of contextual variables not in that set drive me nuts, although I'm not even sure if 5th wave exists or has testosterone data lol (haven't used it in years)
