Here’s my caveat at least: male confidence and social skills aren’t inherently due to attractiveness, but status. Being attractive can help their status and thereby their confidence, but so can being talented, wealthy, or simply raised by someone who understands the value of raising confident sons. You can very easily argue male testosterone levels also vastly influence their social abilities. Female confidence is nearly entirely dependent on their appearance.

The results also showed that the switch to online learning in 2024 eliminated the beauty advantage — but only for female students. For non-quantitative courses, attractive female students experienced a drop in grades with remote learning, while attractive male students continued to see the benefits of their appearance.

According to Mehic, this suggests that discrimination likely explains the beauty premium for female students, who no longer enjoyed higher grades in remote settings. In contrast, the beauty premium for male students appears to be due to productivity-enhancing traits, since their grades remained higher despite lower interaction with instructors.

“The main takeaway is that both male and female students experience a beauty premium when teaching is in person,” Mehic explained. “But for females, this effect disappears with online teaching. This, at least to me, suggests that the beauty premium for males is due to some productivity-related factors, such as higher self-confidence, while for women, it’s more likely caused by discrimination.”

The main takeaway is men don’t experience a beauty premium, that’s why they remain unaffected while attractive women suffer. This is one of those subtle subversions, it clearly can’t be that women experience a pussy pass that men don’t so we must pretend attractive men get benefits somehow, because no ugly man has ever been confident or had social skills.

Same! Ordered back in like February for the march release. It dropped in October. It’s well done at least so I would say worth the wait.

RC bray is the gold standard of narrators for me, he just did starship troopers recently if you haven’t heard it. His narration of gilded needles and the elementals are very well done and he has a platitude of science fiction titles he’s done. Stephen fry’s narration of his mythos/heroes/ Troy books are phenomenal as well.

They couldn’t say “far-right” without calling far leftists like Rowling a Nazi, so now it’s “extremist” to be a leftist like Rowling, Rogan, etc

The Libby’s brand is actually a specialty bred pie pumpkin which is why it’s so popular. You need the right pumpkin for the base that the spices work off. Also the biggest spice that brings out the flavor is ginger!

Homemade pumpkin pie is unbeatable. It’s not doused in sugar and if you make your own whipped cream it’s bliss. Like Kaarous said it’s a custard bake essentially with lots is spices ( cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) that really bring out earthy flavors. You pair it with some fresh whipped cream to cut through the spices and you’re good to go.

I’ll be up in 4 hours to make the stuffing and ceremonial bloody Mary’s in honor of my dad that passed this year. Hope you all the best on this holiday and even if you’re not American, there’s nothing wrong with a good family day. Appreciate what you have and if you don’t have much remember at the least there’s god looking out for you and others willing to show you his grace. God bless and happy thanksgiving.

They’re weaponizing pseudo terms. This was a given, they don’t accept history because it’s malleable, they only want the results they demand at any cost.

Meh it’s extremely overrated, especially with younger women doing it.

Hell it was obvious a decade ago when the students were throwing tantrums and the faculty was enabling them. They have simply graduated since then.

That’s the tip of the iceberg, her policies forced the shutdown of 1/3 small businesses in west Michigan and left the rest paying massive loans taken out to stay afloat during her lockdowns. She then whores out to Chinese corporations who are building massive battery manufacturing plants in… agriculture zones. The list is endless on how she fucked up things that will take decades to recover from if anyone competent can even get into office anymore after Obama fucked the state blue with radical Muslim imports.

Newsom and Whitmer have been priming for presidential runs since 22. They’re both the soulless used car salesman personas who will say and do anything with a smile while arresting you for fishing during Covid. The fact people have repeatedly voted for them is insane, especially given what they did during Covid and how they decimated their state economies.

You should look at how they bastardized that comic run to make the show character, she’s the “hangman” but secretly a victim who never killed anyone and her dads an evil monster who was the real hangman ( killing only women, including her mom), set her up, locker her in Arkham and her evil patriarchal family never supported her so she kills them and takes her mothers name Gigante (her husbands name in the comic series, but girl bosses can’t have husbands or kids). You insert a bunch of female “revenge porn” and a psychologist simp lover and that’s what the story writers spent the middle episodes shoving down your throat.

I tried explaining extremely generously that even the gear weight would make a massive difference due to average female and male weight, even if they were magically the same physical strength. The reply I got was “well they have trucks don’t they?” Another gem later on “how hard can it be to shoot a rifle accurately while moving.” They have no concept of reality because they have no experience and even worse, they’re too far up their own ass/ conditioned to even be able to realize that men and women might be different.

Of course not, he was the typical male neckbeard feminist who never saw a weight rack in his life. It’s funny, when you actually compete, whether is be physically or mentally, you actually get a gauge for ability or the drastic lack thereof.

In college I had a neckbeard try claiming that men and women have the same combat capabilities and that an all female platoon would be able to fight equally against and all male one. They truly exist in a perpetual state of delusion reinforced by media propaganda.

Episode 4 was the one where I knew the rest of the show was about to take a nose dive.

Haven’t watched the movie, didn’t bother after I saw the race swapping. The driver was essentially a plot device who bounces in and out of even having a story because the writers couldn’t be bothered to try character development on anyone but girl boss. The mom was an ok actress whose character suffered from rushed episode pacing forced by… the main focus being on girl boss.

The 17-year-old was called a "fcking black" and a "fcking Moor", the latter of which is a commonly-used local insult in Spain for those of Moroccan descent

You mean to insult the people that repeatedly subjugated the Spanish? Spain is dead, they let their women become insufferable cunts and now can’t even be “racist” towards Moors.

It was extraordinarily mediocre compared to 2 which was extraordinarily mediocre compared to Origins, at least in my opinion.

Their net per copy is usually ~20-30% less based on sales. Steam charges based on their current sales would be a 25% cut. PS and Xbox usually charge 30% outright.
