Hashtag Gaza, bro.
I use Algia on the commandline. Its not a TUI either, but its very easy to pick up.
#Russia has been waging a war against a neighbouring population in #ukraine, for "security", and has killed at least 200,000 people. Of these, as many as 20,000 (10%) have been civilians. Children under 18 have made up 550 (0.2%) of Russia's dead victims.
If only Russia made war like a Western country, things would look very different!
1srael has so far killed more than 4000 children, 40% of those killed, according to The Economist.
Here is a video interview with one who has survived, but with her legs blown off..

Wow.
Mind officially blown.
Yes, this. I don't think anyone should enter a marriage without talking over their expectations with their partner.
Do what he says.
A man who does that to an innocent cake? Why he's capable of anything!
Cyborg is being a Woke princess. Western mega-corp LLM detected, retrain.
I used to have a straight-acting gay friend who did exactly what you describe. I don't believe in "internalised homophobia"; I suspect it was more of a flex, he knew HE couldn't be called on it!
Its interesting, the distribution of society with bride prices vs those with dowries.
Dowries are found in highly-productive highly-monopolised ecosystems, where capital is overwhelmingly land ownership, and proximity to political power is the most salient guide to a man's ability to support a family. Few men control much, so families compete to pay the few powerful men to marry their daughters.
Bride prices are found in desolate, usually pastoralist settings, where control of land is fluid, capital mobile and usually hoofed, and a man's willingness to labour and to defend his limited capital the best guide to his ability to support a family. Most unmarried men can do that, so they compete to pay families for the right to marry their daughters.
The latter are also the same environments in which, currently, centralised international institutions are increasing the intensity of their interactions with decentralised traditional societies. Usually in ways that were never profitable historically, and that the locals don't like... hence terrorism.
There are quite a few problems with that report that make it hard for me to take it seriously.
Survey research on highly personal matters, even with good technique and sampling, is highly exposed to social desirability bias. The fact the numbers are so different for ostensibly similar studies suggests we should have little confidence that the reported trends are differences in actual behaviour rather than differences in reporting.
Secondly, significant testing not reported. With a sample size of 1000 and the best techniques in the world, there is no way a difference between 0.4 and 0.6 even approaches significance. Some of the more dramatic changes may be significant, but without citing p values its hard to be sure.
Finally: "Measuring the number of partners instead of sexual frequency, the top 20% most promiscuous men account for about 60% of male sexual partnerings, and the trend is, again, quite stable over time."
OMG. That does surprise me. Those numbers are very close to the 20/80 claimed by incels. This is then ignored by the author, who goes on to claim the opposite.
Access =/= activity.
I generally agree with the author on many points, but my verdict is, as they said in Scotland: "not proved".
That is a terrible joke!
I read it out.
My wife is still giggling
Correlation vs causation again though bro.
I dated, and cohabitated with, a girl on and off for four years. Whenever I was thinking about proposing to her, she'd do something crazy and/or break it off. And then change her mind within hours.
Some extended cohabitations (and extended engagements) are because one or both of the parties are not sure it'll work as a marriage.
TL;DR
What I said plus what Stella said, but also it's hard to be sure. Also, here's some pro-family policies.
It's a good article and I like it. Thoughtful and plausible. Thanks for sharing. But it won't persuade anyone committed to different beliefs/policies.
I was living in that small town, and even I didn't understand how serious my "crime" was. I was smart enough to only enter the library after school once my friends had gone home, but this one Friday someone's parents were late and he was waiting at the gate when I came out putting a book in my bag.
My friend Lachlan loyally refused to believe it, until he heard it confirmed from my lips next Monday. He turned away and never spoke to me again.
I still don't get it. I told them reading for fun was just something I did, and I didn't expect anyone else to do it or anything. Nick shook his head and asked me to promise not to do it again. I didn't.
The Nerds all read, of course. But I missed playing football.
The Secession of the Plebians!
The Plebians came back when they were promised equality before the law and an unchangeable set of laws cast in bronze, the Twelve Tables.
Unfortunately, the base layer was designed to run on lawyers, not cryptography, so it was quickly corrupted.
Started out as an apprentice Jock, ngl. But then I was "outed" borrowing a library novel to read, which was an unthinkably serious offence there. And then I wouldn't apologise or commit to desisting from this vice.
My jock friends were so angry and humiliated, it was like I'd been exposed as a terrorist.
Hung out then with our meagre supply of Nerds for the next two years, and then I moved to a better school that had Goths and Metalheads.
Good times!
I don't see support for this ordering in your graph provided. Married women appear to have noticeably higher earnings than single men, especially before age 40.
May we have a link to one of those? Or a DOI.
To me it seems quite plausible that being self-disciplined, emotionally stable and brought up in economic security would enhance both marriage and employment prospects.
I'd like to see a research design that can plausibily disentangle those!
