From what I can tell talking to teachers, the public bullying among Gen Z has ebbed (excluding anything gang-related) but the private stuff is way worse. My guess is it's related, given how performative social media is and how much of an influence it has on Gen Z. Not saying Millenials are immune, but we came up in a society that actively cautioned against putting too much of yourself online whereas Gen Z grew up in a post-Facebook society that encouraged it.
Also, behaviors generally across the board are worse post-pandemic. It's apparently like no one knows how to be nice to each other anymore.
Kennedy has already hit CNN’s 15% polling threshold in two out of four qualifying polls. But the network also announced that participants must “appear on a sufficient number of state ballots to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold to win the presidency prior to the eligibility deadline.”
I think as a bare minimum requirement, being able to appear on the ballots of enough states to actually have a chance of winning makes perfect sense as a rule. With all the things to shit on the parties for, why make up a strawman?

Quick correction, you cannot have just Y or YY. The only full monosomy you can have and survive is Turner syndrome (just one X). Not having any X chromosome is 100% fatal, the X chromosome is necessary for development regardless of sex. Additionally, while you can have XYY (Jacobs syndrome), you cannot have YY for the same reason you can't have monosomy Y.

For example, I'm personally of the opinion that instances should be allowed to federate until they prove themselves to be bad actors, but in Meta's case there's a lot of existing evidence that shows they shouldn't be allowed to federate in the first instance.
So your argument is if the regulation isn't perfectly applied to every possible instance of a potential violation simultaneously, then it should never be applied? How does that make any sense?
Every instance gets to decide on its own, there's no set of rules governing the whole thing. That's why I stated this is my opinion, not some hard and fast rule.
The Shield is very different. LA and Baltimore are very different culturally and it shows in the final product. The Shield also focuses on the one squad while The Wire is about the city of Baltimore. Of the two, I personally think The Shield is a little more cartoonish, so The Wire wins out, but The Shield is still excellent.
I'm not sure how this in any way contradicts what I said. I'm not saying only watch The Wire, I'm saying between The Wire and The Shield, having seen both, I prefer The Wire, but they're also very different so it's not a good comparison.
While there's a good chance the truth is Ohtani has a gambling problem, it's entirely possible he just paid off the debt and didn't know doing so was illegal. Couple that with translation issues and you can see why they'd backpedal, then wait.

Mate, that's not art, that's coding. Congratulations on learning a new coding skill and how inputs can affect outputs. Frankly, it's barely coding, it's adding degrees of specification so a program can do all the work. I get that it took you a while to learn what all of it means and how it works, sort of, but something being hard to do doesn't make it art.

This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what's actually going on.
Most people, let alone voters, don't actually watch or read any actual reporting regardless of bias. They get news through content-creators, so it's all bite-sized with all critical thinking removed.
But they still probably use buses on occasion. Also, it's not exactly hard for a passenger to step through the little doors to the stairs at the end of the jetway, chuck a coin, then continue boarding.
Multiple bands and musicians scheduled to perform at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival are pulling out because of the U.S. Army’s “super sponsorship” of the event, and America’s ongoing support of Israel’s war on Hamas.
Also, to reply to the other person, I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the military supporting a blockbuster about fighter pilots, or about the military generally, in a fictional story. Filmmakers know the deal, they can't shit on the military while getting it's help, but it's disclosed in the credits and almost always patently obvious. There are far more insidious films like Zero Dark Thirty or Argo, or even a show that I love, Band of Brothers, that are mostly propaganda about real events to rewrite history to hide America's flaws. That's what we need to worry about, not the military helping out with Top Gun or Transformers.
538 had her going into the election with a 70% chance of winning the electoral college. Nate Silver also went on multiple shows basically doing everything he could to get people to understand that meant 3 out of 10 times she loses.
Just to explain why, not to take from your broader point, it's because he's not of the people being harmed. Typically this form of protest is done by those being harmed.
A 6th grade girls team from Kentucky was set to go for the year-end championship tournament, but was told they were banned due to fears boys teams might 'retaliate' if they lost to the girls team.
SWOB President Tom Sunderman expressed concern in a statement:
"Doing this for 28 years, what we have worried about is a boys team losing to a girls team (especially in the year end tourney), they may get frustrated and retaliate against a girl."
"Then we have liability issues.”
Prez, a social media user on X (Formerly Twitter), didn't buy it.
"What he meant to say was they can’t have their boys being emasculated by a better girls team… it would be a blow to their developing manhood to get beat by girls."
There are people who firmly believe women can never outcompete men due to biology. With some outliers, this is currently true within a defined age range and only in certain sports (there are several where women routinely outclass men). In 6th grade a good chunk of the boys haven't hit puberty yet and you can easily find girls who are stronger, faster, and more athletic than boys in their cohort because everyone is still developing. The boys getting beat right now could hit a growth spurt next week and play in the NBA.
The point is at this age, the kids are actually pretty evenly matched. If the boys have a violence problem, they should be banned from playing till they fix it. Otherwise this league head should shut the fuck up.
Sounds like you've never met a kid. They are capable of learning and receiving consequences.
I guess I'm saying don't project your failures onto kids you've never met. Most are perfectly capable of being better people without you creating excuses for them.
In sixth grade at most schools? Probably most of them. That's right around when most boys just start hitting puberty and girls tend to generally be bigger and more athletic than boys until then.
In general? Gymnastics, figure skating, cheerleading, skiing (best downhill skier in the world is a woman)...
Without wading in to the host of other issues with your comment, at the bare minimum you have to acknowledge that Israel and North Korea have very different nuclear capabilities. There's a reason a nuclear threat from Russia, for example, is taken more seriously than North Korea.

That's true, but it's basic human nature. Given two candidates who are both qualified but have different strengths, most likely the hiring manager will pick the person that seems easier to work with. This won't always be the person who's bubblier, but will usually be the person who's more engaged during the interview. It's not just about what someone's like on paper, it's also about being able to create enough of an impression with whoever's hiring them that they're memorable in a positive way.
This isn't malicious, it's just how almost everyone works. It, of course, also presents challenges for people who are neurodivergent. There's no easy solution here, telling the hiring manager they're neurodivergent is a mixed bag.
Part of why the interpersonal part matters is because most every person who has hired someone has been burned by someone who seemed fine on paper, so they gave the new hire a shot despite some flags during the interview. It's happened to me, it sucks and feels shitty. When that happens, if they're competent, the manager starts going for people who seem more engaged during the interview (as opposed to super eager, which can be a red flag).
Lastly, hiring people is a skill. Some people are good at it, I am not. At least I learned very quickly that I should let others handle it, which I hope prevented future mismatches between the candidate and the job.
