Because that would piss putin off and the UK always backtracks when that's possible, with ministers even publicly apologising to him on tv news.

After the TV series (which got weaker as it went on), there was a huge surge in its popularity but that quickly declined when new players saw the amount of hours they had to put in to play and explore.

There is no doubt that these new games will be aimed squarely at monetising those players and not its pre-existing fanbase.

I never did understand why so-called smart people pay money to be told they're smart.

Edit: Probably the reverse of the reason people are paid to tell others, people like you, that you're a no-good waste of space and you don't deserve me even addressing lifeforms as low as you; you disgusting piece of human excrement. That'll be £50, maggot.

^{ice, ice, baby!}

Because of all the programming socks adverts with Arch in the background.

And sometimes, just sometimes, studies are framed to find what the experimenter wants them to find.

Maybe the value of the digital stuff is nothing compared to the heroin being transported in the bags!

Maybe we just can't count ''r's properly and it is our fault!

I have to agree

Yeah, but ignoring that small oversight, they can get an attention-grabbing headline that meats their agenda.

Allow me to do what feminists do - including in this very thread:

"Women can't take it"

Women are under-represented in careers!!!1

next step is reports of a drone blowing the wrong target, it’ll be news when it “accidentally” targets civilians.

It probably won't make news.

No more unwanted pregnancies.

... and no more poor stupid people (as per Musk's eugenics beliefs)

...and be trained in the art of killing?

So now you're backtracking and disagreeing that it isn't because girl's brains develop faster, but because the education system is actually better for girls than boys? Oh, right, so why didn't you write that in the first place.

I suspect feminist messaging appeals to women because they are sick of the patriarchy, not because they are programmed by marketing agencies. The fuck are you on about.

Lol. Aren't you a good feminist. Throwing tired phrases around like "they are sick of the patriarchy", yawn. You're the sexist version of anti-vaxxers.

I think you’re right that the messaging of companies trying to appear feminist in their communications while nevertheless usually being run almost exclusively by men is a huge part of the source material that produces the bias here.

Lol, that isn't what I wrote - again, it's what your distorted view of the world understands. Of course, women work in such companies and also approve such messages to meet sales. Shock. But yawn, again, from your pov, it's the men's fault because that opinion justifies your hatred of men - it's them, not me.

That said, I think you’re right that the messaging of companies trying to appear feminist in their communications while nevertheless usually being run almost exclusively by men is a huge part of the source material that produces the bias here. I’m not sure we disagree much in substance, but I suspect we come from different starting points in how we see gender dynamics in society.

At least where I’m from it’s pretty well known that girls outperform boys in school, probably because their brains develop slightly faster in some ways useful to perform in a class room.

At least where I'm from, it's pretty well know that the education system is better suited to girls than boys because it badly needs a reform, and that studies show that separating boys and girls greatly improves the attainment of boys whilst also making modest improvement for girls. It's as if combining boys and girls in the name of politically-correct inclusion actually had a detrimental effect on the actual outcome of schooling.

This could give women a head start and very well lead to them on average performing better in work life, until they are forced to choose between careers and families while they partners continue to advance their careers at full speed not worrying about being pregnant.

To paraphrase this: women can get pregnant and then can't work and it's the man's fault. I thinks someone's watched too much Handmaid's Tale

It sure isn't the extreme and aggressive pandering to feminism that gives women a "head start" just because they're women and not because they're the best for the job (such as all the women-only startups, the women-only software teams, the grants given to the above because they're women-only), but because they're better educated, right?

we should stop pretending language models make intelligent considerations about anything.

LLMs trained on the texts we produce create the opposite bias of what we observe in society

So you're actually stating that LLMs are making dumb decisions by recommending women over men. And they're your observations, from your model of the world, framed as you want. What I observe in society is a huge increase in the amount of advertising aimed at women with a feminist message because women are being programmed to flock to such messages (to buy products), whilst ironically conditioning them and giving them entitlement to claim anything they want, because, they're women.

Given the actual reality, this shows how extreme the bias against men in current literature really is and it isn't surprising that LLMs are recommending women over men given all the noise about how women are vastly superior to men.

If I were a woman concerned about equality, I think I'd be having an epiphany about now, and using this as an example of how bad things are and that they need to change.

Handpicks poor 'studies' to justify personal belief that women are better.

Graffiti on glass shattered glass being smashed through with rocks read: “get out of Mexico.” Protesters held signs reading “gringos, stop stealing our home”

They should have thrown it back with the poor grammar corrected, and stating they can help the Mexican's learn English.

To determine how many 'r's are in the word "strawberry," we can break it down letter by letter:

1. **S** - No
2. **T** - No
3. **R** (count 1)
4. **A** - No
5. **W** - No
6. **B** - No
7. **E** - No
8. **R** (count 2)
9. **R** (count 3)
10. **Y** - No

However, considering the pronunciation of each letter and standard English rules, even though 'Y' is a consonant, it's more accurate to 
say that "strawberry" contains only two 'r's: one in position 3 and another at position 9.

Final Answer: There are two 'r's in the word "strawberry."
