This isn't true as I was mistaken. The gap apparently is 1 cent when adjusting for positions. I think this is an overly simplistic view which unduly shifts the blame to women, when in fact society and our economic systems push women towards particular jobs (or motherhood) and compensates far less.

Hers a source I linked elsewhere:

I'm mistaken on that point then, though there is still a measurable gap. There is a large disparity in the "unadjusted" numbers which the article you sent notes is just as important as the adjusted one. It represents a power disparity. Ty for the correction

Here's another reliable source:

The gap exists between identical positions -- that's like the whole thing

I think it's phrased like this because it's less acceptable for men to express feelings like sadness or loneliness. men and boys who are lonely and alienated can more easily fall down the Andrew Tate/4Chan/Jordan Peterson/blackpill pipeline which yields violent extremist behavior. Obviously it's not only men

For real! Forced assimilation? Bad! Tianemen Square? Bad! Subsidizing EVs? Semi-planned economy? Seems good. Like literally anything it's a mixed bag. Nuance is lost and so are we

Why is it important that OP pretend like they dont approve? This is a puritanical take with a particularly dim view of sex.

It's just firefox. If you encounter websites that break or look bad on firefox, theyll be just as broken on librewolf. There are many web standards firefox is behind on.

That said, vivaldi is the best chromium choice and Librewolf is the best FF choice. I use librewolf when adblocking is paramount, like on YT

my friends and i can never get past one or two quotas before we're eliminated. we end up drowning on the way back to the ship or not finding enough scrap in time ;-; still fun though

To be fair, heading off implications of racism first and then saying "Russians" still reads poorly to me. I see now that wasn't OPs intent, and we agree

You think Red Hat & friends are just all bad sysadmins? Source hut maybe...

I think there's a bit of both: poorly optimized/antiquated sites and a gigantic spike in unexpected and persistent bot traffic. The typical mitigations do not work anymore.

Not every site is and not every site should have to be optimized for hundreds of thousands of requests every day or more. Just because they can be doesn't mean that it's worth the time effort or cost.

Im sorry for assuming! You said "Russians" and I've seen lots of people not differentiate between the despots in power and the people who live under their fist, and it makes me sad.

Without doubt or racism? Every man, woman and child in Russia? Would it be racist to hate all Afghans because of the Taliban? A portion of the population supports this, but they live in a dictatorship, a kleptocracy. If you do not feel sadness for the loss of Russian life then you're missing part of your humanity. They're conscripting innocent and ignorant people and throwing them into a blender. The whole thing is disgusting.

You don't have to be racist to call Putin a war criminal, or indeed those Russian soldiers who commit those crimes. You can support Ukraine 100% without hating every last Russian. I invite everyone to remember that the true enemy is Putin and oligarchs everywhere

e: this is not directed at op as they have clarified they r talking about the russian oligarchy
