A lot of comments saying why they think reading has declined (boo evil school... They made me critically analyse stuff...) but not even touching on why that's evidently having more effect on boys than girls?

That's odd.

Compare to the other post asking why Tate bro manosphere brainrot is on the rise. The kind of garbage that specifically discourages boys from higher order thinking because that's not "alpha". Some of the comments there basically boiled down to " not my problem, shut up".

Interetsing juxtaposition.

Misogyny holds men back, but as long as that won't be acknowledged, nothing will improve.

US-manufactured products should be allowed to compete on an equal basis with Australian-produced goods, consistent with the WTO [World Trade Organization] and US-Australia Free Trade Agreement,” he said.

Research and development tax concessions in Australia, France and Spain were described as conferring advantages to local firms “that the United States is hard-pressed to match”.

Um, isn't this what the US is ostensibly trying to do to everyone else with their tariffs? Advantage home grown products over international ones?

It's almost as if it's not supposed to be free or fair, it's just about the US extracting as much money from everyone in the world that they can get away with.

Es tut mir leid für die lange zeit. Ich habe zu viel Arbeit.

Meine muttersprache ist Englisch. Deshalb Ich dachte wir reden könnten. Ich bin Australier. Habst du Ideen für Themen? Ich mag politik, nachrichten, gaming. Was magst du?

Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too

Möchtest du mit mir sprechen? Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut, aber ich will es lernen. Ich war im 2003 in Hesse, ich liebe Deutschland

Ich lerne Deutsch, und

opiskelen suomea, ja

estoy aprendiendo español también.

Furthest along with Deutsch, because I did it at school (decades ago), not making huge progress gains with any of them because Duolingo, but it fits in my day so easily and the repetition is effective I think.

Thanks for sharing! Have ordered her book :)

Yeh bangle.JS is this I think

Oh I'm so glad someone said Coco! Oh gosh, the final scenes and the final song always gets me

This is my recommendation too. I just watched again recently, and my dad is on his way out and I just bawled. Such a great movie.

Aka ones 'pecca'

I really emapthise with Stan Grant in this piece. I have been feeling similar things myself, and I strongly believe that if I was indigenous and had a traditional family land l would be going back there too.

As it stands I am a city raised person who has experienced living in various country places. I'm living in a city right now, earning good money, but dreaming of moving back to the country to a quiet life.

I was also raised in the Catholic tradition, have been athiest for a long long time but really missing the sense of community that came from the church/school community when I was young.

I feel so pointless as a human. The money I earn doesn't seem as important as what I could be doing for my family. The work that I do doesn't seem relevant amidst the insanity of the world. I thought a great career would give me self worth but it just feels made up...

...like every other aspect of adult life. It's just all made up. Nothing means anything.

I'm lucky I have kids and pets to anchor me in the day to day. But that just reinforces my desire to move to a quiet country town, maybe have another child, maybe get some goats and grow some vegetables.

Monster Bash!

I think this is closest to correct. If the metric is that cult members are kind of duped to go along with group think and philosophy is the practice of questioning belief and thought processes.

That positions philosophy as the meta-analysis end of the scale and cults as the automatic.

So, this is definitely a playground for kids, but seeing as a fair few people mentioned playgrounds big enough for adults...

This one in Australia is accomodating enough for adults, many parents in there all the time

Would kind of love this

Same for me. I struggle to keep on top of the planning for mandatory stuff for my family because I work more than full time and my spouse works full time and it's just hard.

If work didn't organise shots at every office I wouldn't go out of my way to add to my mental load to get it organised for myself.

Whatever is there before baby will be made a thousand fold. Children are amplifiers.

If you and your partner already have a culture of flexibility and support and caring for each other you will be fine. It will still be work and there will still be tough times, but you'll be able to get through. You'll probably come out closer than you thought possible.

If either of you have bubbling resentments or distrust, or very rigid ideas about who should be doing what and when, the difficulties may be insurmountable.

It could also be related to how your cervix changes over your cycle, but that baffles me because surely gynecologists would know that and try to time things correctly if it made things easier for women.

Do they time it based on your cycle at all?

Close to ovulation, your cervix goes really soft and opens up, close to your period it changes position, goes really firm and closes.

I haven't gotten an IUD so I have no personal experience with the process, but I imagine that trying to put an object through the cervix into the uterus would be best done at ovulation when your cervix is open. And probably extremely difficult and painful to try to do when your cervix is shut tight.

In this video about Lavender AI which is Israel's Palantir, they talk about the accuracy score that the AI gives targets for how sure it is that they are Hamas. It is used to determine how expensive the weapons to take that person out, and how many innocent bystanders they are willing to take out along with that target.
