That’s some good data. Thanks!
Can I ask where you got that data? Those numbers are substantially higher than I was able to find in the US, but I grant that my sources are self-reports. I can find public data, but only as recently as 2010.
Yet the Tengwar have more users in 2024 than Linear A. UTF isn’t a museum.
Fair enough, I can only speak for the US. In the US, the 50th percentile for professors is about the 80th percentile nation-wide.
Do you guys say this even when both sides are the same? In a vote between sky blue and navy blue, neither option is red, and neither option is closer to red.
I think it’s less about wealth directly as it is about the overly particular academic path. I think there is high heritibility among professors because their kids get a much better idea of how to become a professor, and have a built-in network.
Professors are nowhere near the 95th percentile in income. If this were the case, you would expect to see a spike around the 75-85 range, not at 95.
Linear A before the Tengwar. It’s a crime.
It’s just a matter of priorities. In order to build a spaceship and get it out of the atmosphere, you have to do a colossal amount of ecological damage, which is the last thing we can afford right now. Space ships are made with lots of lithium and cobalt and fun stuff like that.
I’m not saying forever, I’m saying that we’re in the ER for internal bleeding and you’re talking about doing an operation to fix our scoliosis.
Colonizing other planets is way, way, way beyond our current abilities. It would be easier to colonize the ocean first, because at least that has water and a biosphere, or even Antarctica, because at least that has breathable air. Counting on flight to another planet is a bad idea: it’s infinitely harder than fixing things at home.
Tbf that’s a literal translation of Belarus. It means ‘white Russia’.
That’s a harvestman, not a spider.
Also, he’s such a Greg.
John Brown. The man stood up for what was right, even at the cost of his own life.
Is that reason that the Indian resistance also had a very notable violent component?
I don’t like implying that Israelis are uniquely cruel. They’re just regular European cruel.
Pretty sure my wife would be mad at me if I cheated on her. Is she an agent of the patriarchy?
women in cishet relationships cheating is basically nbd anyway
C’mon.
Succession? No, I think you’d like it. The Roys are all bumbling, incompetent manchildren throughout the entire series. You’re just watching them get dunked on the entire time—they never once make a decision shown to have positive consequences.
I’m sort of confused at it being called fascist apologia. It’s not revolutionary, sure, but the worst I can accuse it of is nihilism. The Roys are stand-ins for Bloomberg, Murdoch, Zuckerberg, etc and they’re mercilessly mocked by the story. They fail to maintain any sort of meaningful relationships because everything is transactional to a capitalist.
Maybe it’s too sympathetic to Logan, but I dunno. His kids hate him, he exploits young female staffers, and he dies alone.
Okay. And on the flip side, the pandemic being over in some foreign country is completely irrelevant to the post—and me.
So far The Penguin has just made me want to rewatch The Sopranos
