More like those in Runaway

Why the down vote? Average age in gaza is 19 (yes mean is not median but still). This means that you have a good chance that a large proportion of those killed were kids (and almost all weren't of voting age last time gaza had an election).

It takes less fuel to eject him out of the solar system. No need to be wasteful.

Les differences semblent être que:

Pour les pro-autoroutes, la récolte a été fait sur une période contenant 2 weekends et sur des zones desservies par la future autoroute, tandis que les anti-autoroute ont ratissé plus large (l'ensemble des 2 départements) et sur une période en semaine.

On peut supposer que les pro ont récolté plus d'avis de personnes qui travaillent et qui vont bénéficier de l'artère de communication, alors que les anti ont pris principalement des non-actifs et des personnes non concernés directement.

Conclusion?

"Il y a trois sortes de mensonges: le mensonge ordinaire, le parjure et les statistiques."

Chacun à fait un sondage en cherchant à obtenir la réponse qui soutiendrait son point de vue, et on n'est pas plus avancé.

No, that last one's zoophiliac, but probably works too.

For me this is the crux of the issue:

To Galloway, neither the left nor the right — which can seem compelling to rudderless young men — are providing a genuine alternative. “The far right conflate masculinity with cruelty,” he says, referencing Tate and Vladimir Putin. “The far left thinks that men should, quite frankly, act more like women. Neither of those is productive.”

Men, especially young men, today are stuck in a no man's land where they know that the toxicity of the past is not what's socially acceptable, but no one's giving them a model of what they can be. They are collateral damage of the culture wars.

Andrew Tate (just writing that name feels dirty) and his clique are exploiting this to cultivate hate and toxicity, but the traditional feminist approach that "Men should get in touch with their feminine side" will leave them isolated socially from their peers and emotionally.

The middle road will not be feminine and won't be the traditional masculine role that's still very present in culture, but will be a place where men can confidently own their vulnerability.

Edit: spelling

Still a good pun, worthy of dad joke status

Buy them a ticket to Russia, but make sure it's on one of those Aeroflot jets that don't have brakes any more...

Just checked on google, it's slang for prostitution.

Well no, but Title IX was only ever fair as a stop gap measure until various groups can get their footing anyhow (eg to counter act the issues that red-lining are still causing).

If there's declining male enrollment, the solution is going to be to look earlier in the school system to work out why buys aren't getting as much as girls out of class and looking to fix it. IIRC, one idea was to have boys start school a year later to counter the developmental age gap.

In any case, tipping the scales at the university level is only ever going to mask the problem. I understand the need, but by itself it's not going to work long term.

Honestly? With the benefit of hindsight, I'm actually pleased it wasn't given the chance to become a Dollhouse.

The movie gave closure, and we left the characters in a good place.

Dollhouse gave us 5 seasons of content in one, and ruined itself in season 2, and many other shows have just run until everyone was sick of them, before getting an anticlimactic ending anyway.
